Yet “it takes a school to raise’m”‽
It is the parents job to educate children the value of privacy, and how to maintain it.
Corporations, thus capitalism, exist because the parents have allowed them to invade their privacies too. Corporations wouldn't exist if the demand for violating privacy existed: the parents are harassers too.
It's people's own fault for being surveilled? For being stalked with flock cameras, for example? Just withdraw your consent and everything's ok and capitalism collapses? If I'm incorrect in my interpretation of your words, please clarify, but in its current form I'm not challenged by it.
It is precisely the fact people are not challenging surveillance, flock cameras, capitalism, and violators of consent that harassment like this is institutionalized. Violations don't occur overnight. It predates slowly, hunts, and makes itself systemic. Trump & MAGA are a symptom of systemic predation.
Now tell neighbors if they are ok being quartered by a predator. Because essentially, has been a predation paradise since forever.
That argument sounds an awful lot like: look at what she was wearing. Victim blaming is gross.
Yet ⅓ of the population voted for the predators. That's grosser.
Yes... because it's the parent's job to make capitalist parasites richer, not raise children. That's the whole reason we park our kids in the glorified creches called "schools" in the first place.
You can't expect parents to teach their kids anything the parents never understood (or had the energy to understand) in the first place.
