Bleeding-heart libertarian against corporate welfare, endless wars, victimless crimes, corrupt regulations, and (well-intended?) policies that screw the poor.
There is no version of this where it stops at children. Every checkpoint built for a minority gets built into the architecture that everyone else lives inside. The lawmakers know this of course.
Mass surveillance is the goal. It was always the goal.
The Spanish anarchists murdered 6,832 Catholic priests during the Red Terror, in what is the most intense anticlerical slaughter in modern Western history.
After the July 1936 military coup, they seized Catalonia in the name of revolution. Their control patrols carried out mass arrests and summary executions of clergy, landowners, and political rivals in the secret detention centers (chekas) they controlled.
Then in May 1937, the Soviet-aligned communists turned on their former allies, killing hundreds in street fights until the NKVD seized POUM leader Andreu Nin and tortured him to death.
Today, leftists still celebrate 1936 as a genuine workers’ revolution, pin the collapse on the Stalinists, and treat the priest killings and checas as wartime oopsies.
1 hard boiled egg? Perfect.
Fried eggs? Just two and I'm good.
Scrambled eggs? Three and I'm still hungry.
Deviled eggs? 47 please and thank you.
Egg logic makes no sense.
To take just one example among many, I don’t think it’s plausible to claim that Charles Schulz, cartoonist and creator of Peanuts, got rich under capitalism via parasitism, hoarding, and gambling.

South Africa is the only country that built nuclear weapons and then deliberately destroyed them before a new demographic majority took power.

It was all finished before the ANC inherited the state.
France and the UK will sooner or later have to face similar difficult decisions.
This little girl is not in the video. She wasn't even born. But she is moved to tears watching her mother and father get married. Why?
Marriage researcher and family therapist Pat Fagan once told me:
"When a child sees their mother loving their father they feel like their mother is loving them. When they see their father loving their mother they feel like their father is loving them. It is the only time in the human experience where you can be loved indirectly. No one's even looking at you or touching you or talking to you, but you feel loved."
That is not the case with a step parent, he said. The child may tolerate the romantic expression. But they do not experience that same circuitous love. More often they feel competition or jealousy.
If every child could order their own world, this is what they would say:
"I want my mom and dad to love me and I want my mom and dad to love each other."
Sometimes that's not possible. Woe to a culture that intentionally denies that to children in the name of adult freedom.
