    The (again made up) assumption that I’ve lived a sheltered life is another attempt to dismiss the argument as baseless instead of addressing it. You have no evidence for these claims, you’ve just got your prejudice.

      You’ve definitely lived a sheltered life if you don’t believe in shitty parents, idk what to tell you.

        My argument has never been that shitty parents don’t exist, don’t try to present like I have ever claimed that. Everything here is pointing out that your fantasy - that a significant proportion of parents fall into the category of “pacifist liberals who torture their kids” - is something you just plain made up.

        Edit: Oh. Well thank you, mods!

          I didn’t “make up” anything, I commented about an experience I have witnessed among many, many of my peers. Shitty parents who fetishize rules and uphold them over what is right are very common in my personal, lived experience. I am happy for you that you find this so unbelievable, because it means your life has been much better than mine.

              I just made an offhand comment saying I hope his parents are supportive despite the fact that many aren’t. Then a dozen people dog piled me with “actually there’s no such thing as an unsupportive parent you’re making that up this is a psyop!!!”

              From my perspective, you’re the one strangely committed to denying that there has ever been a shitty parent anywhere on Earth.

                Yeahhhh, buddy no. That’s not what happened. Nobody has ever claimed there weren’t unsupportive parents, you made up that a significant proportion of parents (conveniently members of a group you dont like) were prone to torturing their children.

                And then after a ban, you’re back to try and make up the narrative yet again. Bold strat there.

                  I’ve seen it plenty of times. Solitary confinement is torture, punitive beatings are torture. Where I’m from, it’s very common for parents to inflict these forms of torture on their children.

                    there is a very harmful liberal pacifist tendency in a significant part of the population which leads to people being punished for fighting back against injustice?

                    That was the made up claim you were rightfully called out over - once again, I’m not here to argue that shitty parents don’t exist, and I have never claimed that they don’t. I’m not about to argue about it, either, since that’s not the claim you’ve been criticized for making up.
