Hence why all government is force, and that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Even the most utopian ideal government stops monsters who harm others… by force. But the principle applies both ways. Remove force from the citizens and, wouldn’t you know it, some people don’t respond to anything else. Cribminals will circumvent ANY law, even a good one, unless you FORCE them not to. A polite society is an armed society. View quoted note →

I know that this is being posted as a joke and that the original video is probably a staged gag, so no offense to @cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin here, but this is messed up. This is a very blatant example of a mom directly #undermining the #authority of the #father. The fact that our #society is fine with this as a joke is a symptom of a much bigger issue of lack of shared #values, lack of legitimate #love, and lack of #respect for one’s partner (which is an extension of lack of respect for oneself, since you choose your partner in this society). If your #child has earned himself some #discipline for something, a #mother playing the “good guy” by protecting that kid from said discipline is 1) by extension painting the dad as the “bad guy” and 2) teaching that child that #consequences are to be avoided and not met. The precedents set by both points will permanently alter how a kid sees #relationships, #parenting, and #morality in a negative way. View quoted note →
