Yes, that’s why I’m completely fine with my kids watching online videos of ISIS prisoners being burnt to death in a dog cage.

Can I ask if you have kids?

lol if you think you can stop that

That’s a strange comment. There’s obviously a difference between a 16 year old and a 4 year old (I have both). Are you saying because my 16 year old is curious and gets sent shit by her friends, I shouldn’t try to filter what my 4 year old doing?

once you no longer have eyes on them outside your home it is pretty much over

4 year old is fine, by 5 or 6 good luck unless you are home school helicopter parenting them

Given how responsibility for much of the violence in the world falls at the feet of the society that is deciding how to censor information from our kids, I find it quite appropriate that they have access to terrorist executions and cat killing videos.

The US gives few fucks that such videos exist, or that our society was built on massacres and slavery. We just don't want our kids to know the grim legacy that they've been given.

Considering kids today are going to be middle aged when the climate crisis catches up to us, it raises questions of ethics what people were doing having kids in the first place.
