    Yeah you do. If you restrict the ability to fuck over others, most of us would be happier. I’m mainly thinking of amassing obscene wealth, but there are other ways

      You do not improve a person’s life by removing that person’s freedom, is my point. There aren’t any teenage billionaires…?

        You ever notice how no one ever recommends doing things that are empowering even when the data says they actually do protect children? Only ever restrictions?

          The domination of children is fundamental for conservatism. Even leftists and liberals have been brainwashed into thinking the “traditional” family unit is a good, natural thing, when it is very clearly a vehicle for child abuse.

          The Epstein class don’t give even a little bit of a shit about protecting kids, of course they don’t, they want to exploit them. The fact that the mainstream is actually buying into these lies is depressing. Everyone is accepting it with very little evidence.

          A classic way of knowing your biases is to know what you’ll accept without evidence.

        My point is you vastly improve others’ lives. You reduce the ceiling of freedom for everyone but increase the baseline freedom everyone experiences

          How is this even slightly relevant to the topic? Whose life are you improving by taking away the freedom of young people?
