what if some kids sees unplugging the router and taking away the phone as a step too far in parenting?
My reaction to that is theyre a spoiled brat. Seems harsh but I stand by it.
Theyre not entitled to a phone or internet.
However, I wouldn't frame it that way. There's really no need to do that if they are indeed using the tech for good. If all theyre doing is watching ai slop videos and brain rot and talking to bots online, then thats when id stop it and explain why.
It also helps to have a house full of fun stuff that requires no internet connectivity.
is it weird to devote one's time to teaching kids about socialism/communism in their spare time? if so, do you have any reasons why?
Im not the person to ask for that as im not very educated on it myself but I would say there is never a reason not to teach kids stuff. Especially in a misinformation world they will grow up in.
If you want a place to start learning, I wrote an introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list.
