i think that the future generation who’s raised by ai slop made by clankers would end up supporting a future fascist regime in the us.
how do you think this can be solved?

Its not hard to teach kids not to be dumb.
When I was 6 I was already well informed on books, what a typewriter was, and what a phonograph was. (Both over 80 year old tech at that time.
I think if less people shoved an iPad in their kids face, it would help.
One very easy example to show the importance of owning media: unplug the router (and take away the phone, which kids shouldnt have either unless its just a flip) teach that subscriptions are just paying to use someone else’s computer. Nothing more.
well i started using a pc when i was a toddler, and i remember watching vhs tapes when i was a kid and such. seriously!
Exactly! Its just a matter of teaching history really. Its of course easy for me to say because ive always loved learning about the history of everything and how things started.
Would be no different than a kid today playing forknight and having the curiosity to go huh I wonder how they made this game, and then I wonder how they made all the games before that, and wow, THATS how hard it was to make crash bandicoot? That’s amazing!"
Really its just teaching them that learning and curiosity are good, and boredom is a good thing that leads you to discovery. The constant dinging and social media addiction of smartphones is a cancer.
what if some kids sees unplugging the router and taking away the phone as a step too far in parenting?
My reaction to that is theyre a spoiled brat. Seems harsh but I stand by it.
Theyre not entitled to a phone or internet.
However, I wouldn’t frame it that way. There’s really no need to do that if they are indeed using the tech for good. If all theyre doing is watching ai slop videos and brain rot and talking to bots online, then thats when id stop it and explain why.
It also helps to have a house full of fun stuff that requires no internet connectivity.
is it weird to devote one’s time to teaching kids about socialism/communism in their spare time? if so, do you have any reasons why?
Im not the person to ask for that as im not very educated on it myself but I would say there is never a reason not to teach kids stuff. Especially in a misinformation world they will grow up in.
If you want a place to start learning, I wrote an introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list.
