Capitalist, colonialist exploitation depends on traumatized children. It all depends on traumatized children, & it always has.

The Epstein class fights us on "social" issues because the logical result of respecting all people would be a world where people become hard to exploit & even harder to convince to do someone else's violence.

Without suffering, the power structure collapses. The suffering is necessary to the economic system.

The statement "We are not free until we are ALL free" includes kids: the permanent oppressed underclass.

Look, I have done a lot of childcare in my life. I understand that children CANNOT be allowed to do whatever they please. I don't want feral, untended children, but I do want kids who feel a sense of ownership over their own bodies & lives.

So many cycles of violence start with neglect, abuse, manipulation, & control in childhood.
