in pure philippine fashion the gov't is considering banning video games (which is unenforcable and terrible for kids that barely have hangout spaces irl outside of schools) and lowering the criminal age of liability instead of actually addressing the root cause of youth violence
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is living proof that both sides of the American political parties have gaslit us into believing that they can't implement any real change
Yes let’s hate the technology that is built off of theft, is used to scam people, increased RAM prices by 300%, uses a lot of water, uses a lot of electricity, pollutes our air, poisons our communities, takes away our jobs, creates deepfake nudes of people

I think it's very important that we remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
There is something deeply troubling about a society that is quick to demand the harshest punishment for children, while celebrating convicted plunderers, tolerating corruption, and rewarding leaders who normalize violence.
Young people do not grow up in a vacuum. They learn from the values we model, the behavior we reward, and the systems we build around them. Violence rarely begins at the moment it becomes visible. It is often preceded by bullying, social isolation, neglect, untreated trauma, and countless missed opportunities for intervention.
If we want children to reject violence, then we must also be willing to examine the ways our society excuses, glorifies, and profits from it. We cannot celebrate violence among adults and expect young people to learn a different lesson.

it’s funny how for decades male dominated lineups have rejected women yet the very moment a platform and opportunity to uplift their voices is announced a man will scoff at feeling left out. you’re not being personally attacked or excluded your ego is just too big.
Utak tamad.
Imbes na ang itanong ay “Bakit tumaas yung bilang ng mga kabataang gumagawa ng krimen”, ang unang naisip ay ibaba na lang natin yung age ng criminal responsibility without thinking abt the factors na pwedeng iaddress in the first place… jusko.

Hindi Juvenile Justice Law ang problema.
