Republicans have a weird fixation with exploiting children.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 months ago
It’s really a weird fixation with exploiting EVERYBODY. They just don’t see why kids should get a break.
Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah, children are an easy target, but they would also go after teens, young and old adults. Its a problem that concerns everybody.

They stopped reading any further after “strip child” and slapped the approved button repeatedly.
RejZoR@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
As stated million times before, they only care about children before they are born. After they get born they are the last thing they give a shit about.
Senal@programming.dev 2 months ago
they don’t care about the children before or after it’s about fear and control.

The experiment was going ok for a while
So well in fact other countries adopted a lot from you, yet you never saw improvements on your systems to be emulated at all
Weird suicide of a nation that never needed to happen

The experiment started with genocide, then slavery, and never really stopped doing either. They’ve been at war for all but roughly 20 years of their 250 year existence. Tens of millions of dead civilians around the world.

I would argue that’s a holdover from the Europeans and while they became more enlightened and peaceful the Americans took no lessons

Republicans would sell their wives and children for a chance at cheap labor and no taxes. Just despicable people with no morals or principles.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 months ago
There are no Republicans any more, that was just the larval stage before they morphed into their final form - MAGA.
The Republican party is dead. They are all MAGAs now.

Speaking as a now old man that started working at 14 in factories to help my family keep a roof over our heads and food on the table and only had the bare minimum protection for kids that worked, fuck these family values assholes.

I fully support children getting violent against those who voted for or support this.
OryxAndCake@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
I would but I don’t think incarceration will be any kinder to them.

At least there they could afford an actual meal and get a education.

But we need to protect them online, and in the womb!

Everywhere but real life it seems.
Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Stripping child labour protection is essentially stripping workers and human rights away. This may be focused on children but it absolutely isnt - it also mixes in teenagers and adults, and those who support this are egotistical pricks.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 months ago
You already have mom and dad working two jobs each, and it’s still tough to pay the bills. Now we can get the kids out contributing to the household, too. It’s not like they’re getting decent public school education anyway.
If you get all the kids working a couple of jobs, your path to wealth will be assured, just work really hard, and don’t worry about the money, it’ll come.

Best part is kids don’t vote so they can’t represent themselves.

Soon they’ll vote again to send in the army to cut down any protests against their family values

Ah yes. Another episode of my favourite show - ‘Nearly Dead Politicians Making Decisions About Matters That They Know Nothing About, That Do Not Impact Them, and That They Will Never Have to Worry About’. Looks like this will be a good one.

like… ugh…
ya know, it’s one thing when they’re just outright sexist/racist or warmongering or corrupt/theives. we all know they’re those things. shitty, selfish people.
but when they do THIS SHIT, we know that they’re not just selfish, they’re cruel. they don’t do what they do just to take from other and enrich themselves… no…
they want to be cruel. they want to hurt others they perceive as weak. it’s not enough just to take from you. they want to see you suffer for it. they want to see children suffer.

And don’t worry, they also get off on the power of being hypocrites about it too
