Our society is always looking to punish children or blame them for something.
I know fascist societies always scapegoat those with the least power to fight back, but it's always the most disturbing to me when its children and teens who don't even have a fully developed brain.
No, kids don't owe us anything. Yes, we owe them everything. No, kids are not meant to be obedient little soldiers. No, treating them like prisoners is not going to solve youth crime.
I fucking hate it. Poor kids.
As a zoomer with genx/boomer parents, I don't really think its optimal to have kids that late or later, theres a lot that might be personal to my situation but there was a lot my parents couldnt or wouldnt want to do with me because of our age gap. They even admitted it to me.
