How exactly do we successfully fight against and reverse Gen Alpha brainrot?
https://youtube.com/shorts/h2i3cGyzNKoThis stuff is becoming alarming. When I was a little kid in the 90s I would watch stuff that had actual substance to it (think: Disney renaissance, Don Bluth films, TV shows like Arthur). Plus our parents made an effort to read to us and get us looking at science books and history books for kids. When I babysit my neighbours’ kids who are eight and six (both boys) I’m horrified by how stupid they are. They can’t read at all. They can’t play musical instruments. They don’t do arts and crafts. They have the vocabularies of preschool-aged kids. They can’t do math and the eight-year old asks me to do his math homework for him. Both of them are either glued to their iPads or glued to watching YouTube on TV. It’s sad as hell. What do?
>>2603824That’s Gekyume’s grandmother’s channel.
>>2611876This TBH
Implement policies like divorcing healthcare from employment and reducing the amount of debt workers enter the workforce with. That way no one will have to work exorbitantly long hours and can actually parent their kids.
>>2612225And better pensions, also isolated from employer. I'm on the EU and have free, universal healthcare and a bunch of welfare measures over the USA.
However, pensions and retirement keep getting held over the worker's heads because of minimum years worked and raising retirement ages and constant nickel-and-dime-ing over pension conditions, and inflation. The latter is always, always estimated way lower than it is in official statistics, so pensioners, even those with livable payments are losing money year by year when they are "adjusted to inflation".
But one can already see how liberalism addresses these issues, even if it's so called "socialist" parties doing it.
Not enough time for family life? Tax money to subsidize daycare
Not enough welfare to have any leverage over the employer? Tax money to "harm reduction" for the "less fortunate"
Shitty pensions/healthcare? Privatization
Too much unrest? Fascism and scapegoats
>>2606026So true anon, go ahead and drink bleach and I'm sure you'll become very intellectually diverse.
>>2602627I remember a mainstream article about a mother who vowed to enrich her child and not give him a phone like she saw other parents doing. But then there was some BS about how she met with a kid whose parents didn't let him watch TV or play games and he felt left alienated from his peers and their kid didn't know how to connect with other kids on the internet and he felt left out so she surrendered. Bleak.
Who fucking cares? They’re not growing up to be anything anyway
>>2602659Im gonna have 20 kids and they're all gonna be educated with skibidi toilet and brainrot
>>2612343That's just sad.
Childhood today is nothing but Labubu, Roblox, and 6-7.
>>2612225>>2612232If American socialists were smart, these are the exact programs they would push for. Raising wages is much, much more in-line with socialist goals than raising welfare. Universal healthcare, make all higher education free (so no more student debt), guaranteed housing (so rent doesn't gobble up 2/3rds of your paycheck), healthy food is dirt cheap, public transit is entirely free, etc. The less time people need to spend at work the more time they'll have to raise their fucking kids.
>>2612416Indeed. Welfare just encourages low-paid proles to give up work altogether and become welfare 'gib me fri gibs' lumpens.
He who does not work does not eat >>2612416>Universal healthcare, make all higher education free (so no more student debt), guaranteed housing (so rent doesn't gobble up 2/3rds of your paycheck), healthy food is dirt cheap, public transit is entirely freeThese are also welfare policies

>>2613675How is this even allowed on YouTube?
>>2612353>skibidi toiletunironically too old for nowadays
>>2613171>that haircutDisgusting
>>2613171Notice how focused this child is on his iPhone. That's not normal.
>>2602627>Plus our parents made an effort to read to us and get us looking at science books and history books for kids.Not just read to us, I remember my dad had me read to him every other night or so, and then explain to him what I read. Reading is one thing, comprehending it is another, and I've found that the kids who are considered "literate" can barely understand what they're reading. Allowing your child to go through life like that is honestly sickening and should be considered child abuse.
>>2602659> The majority of millenials should have been castrated to be honest. Genpol statements like these should be banned. The american generation names are literally an interclass marketing construct
>>2614784This. So much this. My mother would always ask us questions as she would read to us before bed so we understood what was going on in the story.
>>26136756-7 is such a bad song it makes Gucci Gang look like Bohemian Rhapsody.
>>2615381Demoncrats are doing their duty by reducing the amount of evil amerikkkan spawns. Meanwhile the migas are also controlling the burger children population by trafficking them and denying them vaccines. Everything is good
there is no way out of this other than getting restrictive with certain things, screens are addictive period.
>noo you can't prohibit access to screens this will make them more addicted later when they have them as teens or adults!!!
apply this same logic to crack cocaine, it's retarded, just be strict with your kids in things that are worth having some discipline in, like food, exercise, reading and screentime, it will not turn them into fascists or repressed future addicts trust me.
>>2615387also, there is another retarded argument
>if you don't let them watch tiktok they will be out of the loop and werid, they will be bullied and have no friendsand of course everyone is very sociable due to screens right? everyone has perfect social skills now because screens help in that right?
>>2615387Yes, people shouldn't have access to information, they should hang out in parking lot wastelsnds and malls
>>2615391do you consider all information to be equal value? I guess skibidi rizz 67 tiktok compilation is technically information.
>>2615390Screen time is causing neurotypical children to eco it symptoms of autism like no eye contact and dogshit social skills. It’s scary as hell.
Just get off TikTok and go for a walk or do whatever you love outside of social media
>>2613171iPad kid final boss
>What do you want to be when you're older?
<I want to be a gaming/tech review YouTuber
I did get, as the kids say "the ick" when I heard that from my niece and nephew, I think the primary issue is that kids don't have aspirations that would warrant an interest in studying. Yeah becoming an astronaut was about as likely as becoming a millionaire YouTuber, but when I was a kid being "whatever you wanted to be" was predicated on studying hard to get the necessary knowledge and wisdom to be able to pick your own job.
But the kids have been conditioned to only want slop, (in-game microtransaction slop, "collectable" mystery box slop, internet personality merch slop, energy drink slop, etc) the purpose of work is solely to afford slop, if you're a YouTube tech reviewer then you get the slop for free to sell to other people and if you're good at that then you get paid to receive slop.
If acquiring slop is the goal set for kids, then getting paid to consooom slop is the dream, in the same way turning your passion project into a job and escaping the rat race was for our generations.
>>2612717Not necessarily. Welfare is when the government hands you money.
>>2617555Welfare is when government hands money to porky
>>2615479Free will is an illusion.
