Stare blankly at whoever asked for 6 seconds before throwing hands.
I don't think it's a hot take, but I wouldn't call "raping children" as "loving them too much". Also Trump loves Israel.
Horseshoe theory is strong here; both ends of the scale are "Fuck them kids"
A pedophile, a racist and a nazi enters a bar.
The barman says: "Hello mr. trump, the usual?
More like "hello Mr Trump, you still haven't paid your tab"
and the barman will serve anyway because trump is immune to consequences.
good one! 😂
I remember growing up and learning about how horrible the past was to children, with everything from forced marriages to older men, to having to work in literal coal mines and industrial machines. How there was a serious phrase "Children are to be seen, not heard" as advice for parents to keep their kids silent. To say nothing of how literally beating your children just as daily ritual was considered normal for centuries.
I thought "Wow, thank God I am growing up in a civilized era that respects children as human beings."
On the plus side, lots of us are raising our kids right. I learned a lot from my childhood, and then had like a 14-year gap between kids to learn even more. My youngest will be a good man who does the goddamn dishes.
It's still horrible, really. There's a lot of work to do
I think we need to remember that child mortality was wayyyyyyy higher back then. In particularly in underdeveloped areas like Europe, where medicine and hygiene were centuries behind many other regions in the world. So generally about half of children would die before reaching adulthood. Especially in Europe that was still the case in the 18th century.

So there was a feedback loop, where the love "invested" into children had to be rationed, because their premature death was likely and they also needed to be "tough" if they wanted to survive.
Because many children would die anyways, it was easier for the affluent parts of society to abuse them as expendable by normalizing sending them to coal mines or to be eaten by the machines. Also the lack of contraception would ensure a steady "surplus" of children, further fueling the idea that they are expendable, whereas them being "expendable" limited the supply of adults, which is why adult life was given the higher importance.
When "Fuck them kids" is an either/or.
It's fuck them or hate fuck them
Holy shit! Lmao
Fuck, Mary, Kill: Children edition
I get to see him live later this year! So glad he's back doing tours again.
Hmm... I don't like kids. I don't want to have any and I really don't like being around them. However, I don't think people should murder them. What's that, a 2?

-1 if you stopped having children, there'd be no children to diddle
I mean, to be fair, I think "have no children" is less radical than "hit children with missiles," so... I'd put that at maybe 1 or 2.
Net change of children in the world 0 vs net change -50,000. If anything I'd put "neutral" to children as a 5.
I must shamefully admit that I was a child once too.
Good ole z-axis to the rescue!
I'm pretty sure it's more of a not-z axis.
😂
I think the why axis is better.
That also works rather well.
What would that represent? How much you love/hate kids over time?
No, that would be the y-axis. The z-axis moves off the 2D plane from the center of the line as if it’s moving toward the “camera lens” that took the photo.
Like a 2?
2025 wrapped.
That is assuming Trump and co. do wholesome things with children
Not really, they just like children.
