  • That’s a really broad brush you got there. You can replace “liberals” with “people” here and be correct.

    Most people tend to passively accept the political positions of their surroundings, yes.

    Holy pedantry, you know exactly who I mean when I say liberals.

    But let’s say political liberals, including the ones on both sides of the US political spectrum, since you need to frame it in a US centric way.

    Even the most radical of the liberal thoughts in the world do not dare to think to address the fundamental issues with the socioeconomic system, though I guess that might be because they created it.

    Even in your comment you can see the complete lack of political imagination, or any attempt to strive towards anything but the status quo.

    Counterpoint: children are people

    I grew up with my father working night shifts and my mother being tired all the time, I didn’t need a leash.

    Children are a lot more capable and resilient if you give them the chance to be, and insulating them from small forms of possible harm doesn’t help their development.

    Now I am not saying “let your toddler run around a highway” but if you pick a reasonable place for your child to play there’s no need for a fucking leash 99% of the time.
