“Because of the kids!” Image

It’s funny that it, using children as a form of gaslighting, is an attitude so obviously wrong it was the plot twist of a Hero movie, but when it’s happening in reality with people who are more openly nefarious people don’t seem to care. One thing that I consider proved beyond doubt is that most people can’t really be taught even when it’s easily digestible entertainment media, the core basic critical thinking skills to bridge the gap from one context to another just aren’t there, otherwise politicians wouldn’t be able to continue using the same form of gaslighting over and over and over again.
