Search Molly Russell in the Uk.... that case sums up online child safety, parents letting emotion take the lead over intellect. That girl was suicidal, you cant blame a fuckin search engine if she was the one looking for suicide content. But whos going to tell those parents theyre wrong? Instead, now a laws been passed and every website now has to be a part time parent/teacher to all children in the uk.

What you or your politician friends may not understand is that “good people stopping bad things” is a very easily manipulated group, because it often is emotion based and reactionary. It is how America has been dismembered, little by little over the decades, good people doing good to stop the bad.

A maybe as clear as possible example of this is the Patriot Act, even though it’s now 24 years old. It was so easy to manipulate people being emotional and thinking they were doing good and stopping bad, when in reality they were doing the opposite.

I won’t even bother listing several other examples because people are still very deeply invested in those manipulations, because no one wants to believe a) they were so easily fooled and b) what they were raised to believe was just manipulative lies and actually bad, while being told it was good and supporting it made them good. It’s far easier thinking of oneself as good…which is the easily manipulated part.

It’s all very standard psychological manipulation stuff, it just takes on whole other self-fulfilling characteristics when it ascends to a complete majority scale, because things can’t be bad if everyone believes… was trained on it all their lives… right?
