I put "conversations" in scare quotes because I'm obviously not referring to actual conversations. I don't know what word I should use to describe what I'm talking about, but I'm using this one since I've often seen it used in this context. What I actually mean is some dumb controversy that by rights no one should give a fuck about becomes a hot topic in the media/on social media, and then some retard journalist announces that there's a "conversation" happening around the topic or that the topic has "entered the national conversation". Sometimes it's obviously astroturfed (anything having to do with masculinity is a prime example of this) but it often legitimately goes viral thanks to the general population's room temperature IQ. Just to give an idea of what I'm talking about, here are some particularly vapid examples:
-
The leggings "conversation" that popped up several times over the last decade in various forms.
-
A few years back some social media addicted losers questioned if a gift some celebrity bought her granddaughter was age appropriate, and retards in the media decided to report on the "controversy" since "it's between her and the parents so we should leave it alone" was too sane of a stance.
-
There was apparently a retarded crew vs ankle socks debate that I didn't know or care to know about until my local radio station's idiot host announced that Gen Z "resolved it" and that he was disappointed that his side "lost". For a dude in his 30's or 40s he takes this crap awfully seriously.
I know I should just file this under "stupid normie shit", but don't people have anything more interesting to focus on? Why does anyone give a fuck about any of this? I at least understand the obsession with political stuff since it actually affects people's lives (or it will if the commies get their way). But leggings? Socks? I was going to ask why our culture is so fucking vapid, but I know it's because we let women and their stupid drama poison it. The whole thing needs to be burned to the ground.
"Conversation" in leftist just means "we lecture you about what the correct view is, and you obediently listen while sobbing with remorse for ever thinking otherwise and kissing our feet".
And parents should not be buying their underage daughters clothing items that exist purely to enhance sexual appeal.
That battle is well and truly lost though this side of the collapse. There is simply no way to properly raise children unless you live out in the middle of nowhere on a farm and homeschool from birth until adulthood and only keep them constrained to a peer group from families that do the same thing. You are a parent that lives in any kind of suburban or Urban area, even if you live in a rural area but still send them to public schools, if you allow them to have a smartphone at all, the battle is lost. Two parents are simply incapable of withstanding the absolute deluge of degenerate filth being poured into a child's head from every direction via education, media, the internet, Snapchat and tiktok and Instagram and all the rest. The only way to win is to never let your children interact with that stuff. Which is basically impossible for 99% of families. The tradcucks over on PDW won't admit it, but no matter how well they think they raised their children, their daughters in particular, Daddy's little girl is still a massive whore from about 13 onward. The ones from conservative parents simply know how to hide it better.
I think it is possible to educate your children on opsec, but there can be no half measures, that's the problem with parents today they're not willing to potentially traumatise the children on how bad the internet can get especially if they're a girl. That would straighten them out instantly, what children don't realise is how many people are out to get them these days and it's not an exaggeration.
I would maybe tame it down a bit depending on how young they are, but if they're teenagers full autistic presentation complete with real world examples of shit that's happened to the underage.
I remember a leftist holding a "conversation" over lunch at work once. In the middle of the lecture, they outed themselves as not even abiding by one of their own talking points, followed by shrugging it off like it was funny.
Almost all of lunch conversation at work is uninteresting fluff anyway...though it's nice to have someone at the table with a sense of humor who knows it's fluff and takes it into silly places that people on soapboxes don't know how to deal with.
I think the concern I have about that is at some point you have to let the kid go, so if they've been hidden off from everything for their entire life, once they discover the whore life, are they any less likely to go to it? You'd basically have to be Amish to have any chance where you have a community and you strive to keep them in it forever.
That used to be the "repressed Catholic schoolgirl are the biggest sluts" trope long before clown world took over.
Though I don't that really carried over to the Amish for whatever reason.
How much of that was real and how much of that was pushed by pornographers? 30 years from now, people are going to think we were all fucking our step-siblings.
What? Why would a certain demographic of pornographers have a specific hatred for Christians?
