Parenting is part of it, but in my opinion zero tolerance bullying policies are a bigger part of it. Zero tolerance policies lay out a very clear blueprint for how to bully and never be held accountable by punishing those who lack the malice aforethought and sophistication to fight back within that framework: the most successful bullies may never lift a finger and their victims end up with the record when they try to fight back. What a better way to train a generation of sociopaths than to punish those who fight back, all it does is teach bullies "this is how you do things". And they never stop.
Plus, if the bully is never "in trouble" a parent could easily be unaware of what a shitbag their little angel is developing into as kids can be remarkably adept at hiding things from their parents, and arguably those who would be the most successful at new age bullying would likely be the best at hiding it at home, especially if they're a only child with no siblings to rat on them.
Generally agree outside of that point though.
You are correct. I didn't think about zero tolerance policies... Which oddly act like how the DA in Portland is doing his job. (I.e. don't punish the kid that has a history of "being the victim.")
The over arching point is that these people have had no consequences for their behavior ever. Not even a proverbial "whipping boy" to develop empathy.
"As the city meets our demands for justice, the barricades can be negotiated for removal. If action is not taken by the city to meet our demands for justice, members of the community that live in the George Floyd Square Zone are prepared to maintain street barricades, and take the protest of 38th St East & Chicago Ave south into the heart of every significant neighborhood that is unbothered by the death of George Floyd or the spirit of anti-blackness involved in his death & that of many others."
Thank you for translating it. Some jackass calligraphy hobbyist made it unreadable.
Which is particularly fucked up because, I don't know about all of you, but my 3rd grade social studies teacher taught us how Communism is evil because it disincentivizes productivity and in the end starves its citizens.
This was not that long ago.
I'm just thankful we have a President who wants to remove that shit from classrooms, though according to Prophet Bezmenov it'll take at least 20 years of purging the indoctrination to turn this ship around.
5th grade teacher taught us that. It was weird because I was like "why are worrying about communism?" (My teachers comments about communism were off topic to what we were talking about. It wasn't like we had a unit on "The Evils of Communism.")
These riots may have kick started the process since every family has "that member" that supports the riots. Kids are probably listening to their teachers and going "this is what uncle Billy was saying before Grandpa threw him out."
