This article really struck a chord with me, since I'm increasingly worried about my children growing up in a world that is fundamentally different from the one I grew up in. It's incredibly hard to make sure that children are not confronted with disturbing imagery and all the propaganda that is circulating online without the fully developed critical thinking of an educated adult. How do you go about making sure your children become responsible adults online?

I think you're trying to convince yourself more than anyone else at this point.

It's funny how you completely fell apart unable to defend your own point and started rambling about completely random shit. Still haven't even given me a whisper of a response to your insane idea of public shaming to your kids.

Literally talking about paying kids to snitch on your children. That's next level crazy parent shit. Something my initial comment hoped (in good faith) was a joke. But instead of clarifying that; you doubled down instead. Which only makes me believe you are actually that insane.

You are still making assumptions about "me" instead of responding to the single point of criticism I gave you. You hit some next level "debate lord" levels of incoherence at this point. Desperately trying to redirect from your initial comment.

Literally all Ive given you is a criticism of your initial comment. How you shame your kids publicly. That's it. Anything else you've said has been shit you've made up to avoid talking about that. Which is really boring at this point.

But I'm sure you're ready to respond with assumptions about me instead of trying to defend your own position.

/Yawn

Can you address my criticism or not? Because this is getting old.

Do you think publicly shaming your kids is good parenting? Because that's what you gave advice for in the first place.

My initial comment hoped that you were joking about paying kids to snitch. Literally give me a crumb of denial (jest) mate. That's all I'm asking.

Recover from that initial insane perspective.
