That whole passage you mention says exactly what you're saying, explicitly :confused: She spends too much time talking about them acting like children but I'd bet dollars to donuts that's because that's what they're doing, not because it's what she chose to portray them as.

And after that passage she continues throughout the entire rest of the article to portray them as kids. Even when she does not outright call them that, their faults are not presented in the way you call out a person making a conscious and deliberate decision but in the way you describe a child naively doing something wrong.

e: My point is that their age should not be referenced at all; instead, their unacceptable deviance should be highlighted as the only thing relevant about them in exactly the way such is highlighted when reporting on other instances of crime or deviance. It is not necessary to bring up their age. "Fascism is bad; do not spout fascist rhetoric or support those who do" is not an unreasonable expectation of those adults aged 18-20, and it is needlessly presenting them as sympathetic to include their age as a qualifier. Who gives a poo poo if they're 18 or 58? They're fascists. They're bad. They are doing bad things.

in the sense of never having been forced by the reality that they live in to face up to things like "consequences for their actions" the lost boys in that article are absolutely 100% kids and so are a lot of young adults in similar situations jesus christ it's not about what might happen to them (drafted into the army) it's about what life _has actually thrown at them_ how can you not understand that?

No platform for fascists, truth and reconciliation has failed whenever it has been attempted, bulldoze them into heaps and then light the heaps on fire. Christ, it's like you've been asleep for 35 days.

Both Pokémon and Digimon can now claim a degree of retro chic, plus, in Pokémon’s case, a well-known killer theme tune. But although Pokémon has attracted a larger following and made more money, Digimon has emerged with hindsight as a clear connoisseur’s choice.

she empathizes with them too much for my speed. she did the same poo poo in her previous article on milo and i really hated it. the tone was conciliatory, understanding, and without condemnation. it felt like she was describing someone she saw as a friend even as she said it wasn't, so it came across to me as very squishy.

I always felt that Jomentum learned the political game from very solid old sources that knew how to navigate and exploit the game based on decades of experience. What we are just now learning and may not truly understand for years is just how earth shattering this election was. The rules no longer apply. This election broke a lot of people. This truly is uncharted territory.

Yep. We've entered into a transitional phase where both of the old parties are going to be extinct within 10 years. If civil society continues to decay, and all indications are that it will keep rotting, we are going to go into a full blown period of radicalism and revolution. poo poo is broken and the monsters have come out to play. Humans are caught in the same loop and eternally forget the lessons we've learned.

In seriousness, this seems to me like a really dumb defense. Every major religion asserts that people of their age are capable of moral judgment, and every country in the world asserts that they are adults with adult legal and moral responsibilities. People their age are entirely capable and should be expected to be good and ideally productive citizens. And I'm not talking about the odd historical prodigy like John D. Rockefeller or World War 1's Captain Albert Ball, VC, DSO & Two Bars, MC, or modern day titans like Gates and Zuckerberg. At age twenty you have people in contemporary militaries being responsible for life-or-death decisions that affect themselves and others, millions of dollars of military hardware, and a battery of customs, courtesies, and traditions that they execute and perpetuate on a daily basis. You have people that age working public service and private enterprise jobs in all kinds of sectors, contributing to the national and world economies, paying their taxes, and somehow managing not to spout off fascist rhetoric. This is not an unreasonable expectation. The question here should not be what their lives have subjected them to but what minimum of capability and decorum they can and should be expected to demonstrate on a daily basis.
