All kids are anarchists until radicalized with capitalism.

However, it isn't 2012 anymore and the kid of today has no real autonomy outside of forced, walled gardens. Most will never see a laptop that isn't chained up.

To anyone saying kids will rebel and fix the issue themselves,... with what?

In our day, we had a PC in the house and freely available resources everywhere, and 3-4 years of World of Warcraft to introduce us to computers.

We need access to open hardware for everyone. But that's exactly what's being banned. That's why we need civil disobedience

Most will never see a laptop that isn’t chained up

Windows is incredibly unwieldy but one thing it is not is that it’s not chained up
