Ok, I'll bite. How, exactly, does a parent raise a kid to not turn into one of these pieces of shit? They're getting brainwashed from kindergarten through college, constant bombardment by the slow poison of woke media, and the generally socially-unchallenged far left crap from most of the adults in their lives. How do you stop that?

Don't raise kids in pozzed cities is a plan, of course, if it's an option, but what if it's not? Homeschool, even with a community, just isn't an option for most people where both parents need to work just to make ends meet.

If the answer is just "don't have kids under those conditions", fair enough, but do you have any more specific theory of where exactly their parents went wrong? I assume in many cases they actively encouraged this bullshit, so not doing that is a start.

I'm not convinced you can. You can do your best to talk to your kids, and raise them to tell right from wrong, but they'll go their own way sooner or later, and that's on them. Based Grandma knew this, and embraced this. Sometimes that's all you can do.
"How do you raise a kid to be Christian in a Muslim country?".
 
You will probably be unsurprised that there is a massive double-standard in the UK and that yes, Sikh men are allowed to carry that little knife thing for religious reasons.
In Canada, at least one (if not both) of the collegiate athletic governing bodies now allows Sikhs to wear their little knife in most (but not all) sports. I also have to wonder if Sikhs filed or threatened some sort of religious freedom lawsuit to have that happen.

As for the thread slowing down, others have already given plausible answers. However, I might expect an uptick this week as various locations in the US conduct their primary elections. I'd expect some degree of public bouncing and squeaking if any of Antifa and company's pet candidates lose their primary elections.
 
Although you didn't state it explicitly, I believe you're implying that public schools are doing more to indoctrinate than educate. We also see this with teachers unions making demands for stuff that should be outside the scope of education or encouraging students to skip school to accompany them at protests.

Sadly, this isn't too surprising because of the number of parents who can't or won't raise their kids with any sort of values. Until more parents take interest in what their kids learn, I'm not sure what else can be done to "stop that" as you say, @Tismguide.
If by "take an interest in what your kids learn" you mean attempt to change curriculum, I fear that in these pozzed areas, even the slightest criticism of commie revisionism would be instant career and social suicide. I understand that this is standard operating procedure for commies, and that it's precisely because everyone is afraid to fight back that they can get away with it, but I think that particular battle is lost and there's no sense being a martyr if it would do no good.

If you mean talk to them about it, highlight contradictions, teach them right and wrong, point out lies and false facts, the difference between fact and opinion, etc, then I completely agree and I'm trying my best.

At the same time, I do worry that it's not healthy for kids (anyone) to be obsessing about politics 24/7, and that's been a big contributing factor to the current plague of oversocialization leading to this shit. Adding two hours to their day for Politics School every night could do more harm than good by getting them obsessed with it, especially given how hard they'll be getting the trope "your white parents are racist boomers set in their ways" shoved down their throats. Hell, I fell for that as a kid, and only later in life did I realize that 40 year old conservatives aren't "set in their ways", they've just seen history be rewritten a few times and are tired of the same broken solutions over and over again.

I agree that perhaps the current crisis could have been mitigated had their parents done their job better, but parents can only do so much to raise functional children in a dysfunctional society (yes, I said it) that is fighting them at every turn.

It's almost as if, if you are't a complete cunt to people and give respect, you get a bit of respect back in turn.
The gods of the copybook headings say that if you aren't a complete cunt to people and give respect, you get a bit of respect back in turn:P Seriously though, this is a deeper truth than all this rhetoric about "social justice", and one that people get at an individual level. The problem is that we have overwhelming propaganda selectively withholding information to divide and conquer at a group level.
 
So yeah, I think I asked because I had heard about it already anyway:

The U.K. government has passed an amendment by which Sikhs in the country will be allowed to carry kirpans and use it during religious and cultural functions. The ‘Offensive Weapons Bill’ received the royal assent this week.

It's not clear from that article, but I assume they are allowed to wear it at all times as required?

A kirpan is a mandatory Sikh article of faith. It is carried by Amritdhari (initiated) Sikhs at all times. The word “kirpan” comes from two Punjabi words: ‘Kirpa’ means an act of kindness, a favor; and ‘Aan’ means honor and self- respect.

This perspective is always amazing to me. Do you really think women got the short end of the stick for most of history? Have you ever heard of Coal Mining, War, or dying at sea, to name a few brutal ways that men were forced to live and die? Oh you had to stay at home and raise kids and do laundry by hand, god damn what hardship. At least back then women had the option to be mothers and home makers because her husband could make enough to support them both. Now women don't even have that choice. Is that better?
Compared to men, women did have it pretty good. It doesn't seem fair that women who wanted to help the men with their brutal labor didn't have the option to do that and men who wanted to be homemakers didn't have the option to do that either, though.

Also, women still have that choice. Even if your husband makes 30k a year, you can live frugally.
 
Donald Trump should drag David Clarke out of retirement to make some PSA’s and run some task force on “reforming” police. He’s the black former democrat sheriff of Milwaukee county and hates criminals. He put out PSA’s encouraging people to get guns and to be “decisive” in their response to criminal activity. A real man. “With Wisconsin’s new personal protection act, criminals got to worry about what YOU might do.”

I go a step further, Sheriff Clarke should run for governor of Wisconsin.

Should put a picture of him next to Tony Evers and ask voters which one makes them feel safe. Plus since Clarke is black he can do whatever he wants to protestors. B7ECBF07-76EA-42B6-87BE-31A43F71380D.jpeg

That explains the Haavara Agreement.
If, of all things, you think childbirth is risk free you are truly retarded. Death by childbirth is actually rising in the USA, mostly due to people thinking its no big deal, when it actually is. From 1990 to 2013 the Lancet (a British medical journal) found the most common causes of death from childbirth are:
postpartum bleeding (15%)
complications from unsafe abortion (15%)
hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (10%)
postpartum infections (8%)
obstructed labor (6%).
Other causes include blood clots (3%) and pre-existing conditions (28%)
Maternal mortality caused by severe bleeding and infections occur mostly after childbirth.

This is in the era of modern medicine. In the 19th century it was estimated to be 600 per 100,000 births. An upper class woman would make her will when she found out she was pregnant and they died at a higher rate than lower class women in many cases because of the practice of wet nursing, which caused them to get pregnant at a faster rate, leaving little time for the body to recover. Lower class women were often malnourished, in poor health and worked while pregnant, leading to increased maternal deaths. Then doctors began attending births, leading to maternal deaths going way up because they didn't wash their hands and women died from puerperal fever, ie sepsis, which is a horrible and painful way to go.

Coal mining is/was dangerous, yes. Doing laundry, cooking and cleaning not so much. Farming, spinning cloth, weaving, and sewing, hard work but not deadly. But having children is/was as dangerous, probably more so than mining.

Also, women have a choice whether to work or stay home and raise children. It is often not an easy one and in the current state of things will cause poverty in a two parent family but the choice is there.

Basically what I've taken from this conversation is that life sucked back then no matter what you had between your legs. It sucked in different ways but it still sucked.
Although it does depend on how far back you go. That White Feather bullshit that went on in England during WWI always has kind of chapped my ass.

Life wasn't great in the 1910s for much of anyone, but it was especially shitty for men, and then you had women who were likely of higher social standing anyway going around giving white feathers to men of fighting age who hadn't gone to war for whatever reason as a mark of cowardice. At that point [and now] women weren't expected to register for the draft. Then again they also couldn't vote. I'd say however that being shamed for not dying with lungs aflame with mustard gas in a trench somewhere in France is a lot worse than not being able to vote. Or actually dying in said trench is definitely worse.

Regardless life sucked for a very long time for everyone except royalty, maybe, and the further back you go, as a rule, the more it sucked for everybody.

People should keep their eyes and ears open for any signs of electioneering. Look for suspicious groups that appear to be intimidating. Look for idiots wearing campaign or political t-shirts, etc.
