Pick your poison. The more old guard types have corporal punishment, nouveau riche (if they don't just do the same corporal punishment as the old money people) have emotional abuse and stress their kids out in a million ways to mold them into clones of themselves.

The bourgeoisie are without question the most pathetic ruling class in human history.

The level of their hubris and cruelty far surpasses that of their predecessors by an extreme margin.

This is why so many of them turn out to be pedophiles, actual psychopaths, or similarly dangerous/maladjusted/unstable.

So yeah they probably abuse their kids a lot. Would explain why so many of turn out so fucked up.

I agree with you about the bourgeoisie, but the idea that the aristocracy weren't exactly the same is ridiculous to me.

Well, so do many bourgeois... yea

[–] pyromaiden@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 2 months ago

honestly the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy or more or less basically the same thing

More absurd one is that being pyschopats, sociopaths, selfish getting normalized. I’m seeing a lot of motivational speech about how these are mainstream and you have to be one of them to be successful.

this isn't new, that's how it has been forever

[–] durduramayacaklar@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 months ago

I don’t think so. Bourgeoisie is the most evil ruling class in history

[–] ghost_of_faso3@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 2 months ago

Having been around the types children, yes without a doubt. The abuse goes everywhere in there families and is usually plastered over poorly with money.

Do cops beat their wives?

You think Hunter uses all that crack and prostitutes because he has no trauma and learned healthy coping skills?

The bourgeoisie and also class traitors serving them are more likely to be narcissistic. And narcissistic parents abuse their children emotionally.

[–] Ilikecats@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 months ago

That’s because capitalism is narcissism and liberal democracy is a narcissistic family structure

[–] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

of course they do. their children are property

The victims of communism from the Chinese warlord regime are willing to support school bullying and gang violence against their own children in their ableism and sexism according to my personal experience

[–] AverageWestoid@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah absolutely. Capitalism in an inherently exploitative system and capitalists often view their children as their property and "investment.", so obviously enough a lot of porkies (national and petite) tend to well be disperporitonately more abusive and controlling in comparison to those of the working class, largely because of the fact that they view their children and property and invests far more than the working class.

Now obviously this does vary from country to country, for an example, china is much less likely to have abusive porkies largely because if and or when they are found out the CPC WILL strike like a hammer, while in comparison to the west, this behaviour among the Capitalist class is likely to become much more prominent as the state is much less likely to Intervene in comparison to a Proletarian state like china.

This also does tie into things such as sexual abuse and exploitation, porkies are much more likely to be pedos, or view sex as a transaction (which is exploitative, and why every single ML worth their salt should be completely and utterly opposed to prostitution, and pornography.) which again can vary from well, Jeffery Epstein fans, to russian oligarchs that purely marry girls for the looks and not because they actually love them or something.

Out of curiosity. What are your thoughts on Castro and Stalin getting with 17 year olds when they were much older?
