>But that’s the job of the parents, not the state.

Agree with you. But you'd be surprised at the number of people who think that the state ought to do things for them, including raising their kids.





What do you want to do with kids who happen to be born to incompetent parents? Do they deserve to just have fucked lives?

And the state is currently pushing social media onto kids and parents, should it maybe stop doing that, at least?


>Do they deserve to just have fucked lives?

Yes. That's what nature does. You are of course free to help them with your personal resources.

When did the state have the right to 'push' social media to start with? Do you need a law for everything that can potentially go wrong? How about a generic 'do no harm' law? (I must note that social media can be avoided by most people at this point but I digress.)


Would you like to be robbed each week by someone with a fucked life?

> What do you want to do with kids who happen to be born to incompetent parents? Do they deserve to just have fucked lives?

Yes. Unless you and other people that think like you go there and help them with your own time and your own personal resources.

My children shouldn’t have their parents time and money stolen by the state to give to children who’s parents don’t care enough to properly provide for them.
