Children can’t consent and this is brainwashing

2018-01-13 05:01:17 UTC  

His mother is responsible for this

2018-01-13 05:01:55 UTC  

Okay, so a person must consent to undergo such a transforming possibly permanently damaging process

2018-01-13 05:02:13 UTC  

His parents should be arrested for child abuse, any media executive involved with this should be arrested for child grooming.

2018-01-13 05:02:22 UTC  

I agree

2018-01-13 05:02:37 UTC  

I just don't see the justification for this in liberalism

2018-01-13 05:03:01 UTC  

Liberalism doesn’t have to involve everything

2018-01-13 05:03:06 UTC  

This is just a moral outrage

2018-01-13 05:03:22 UTC  

In my opinion at least

2018-01-13 05:03:29 UTC  

The sjws love this kid

2018-01-13 05:03:48 UTC  

well, you might be able to make the case that this violates the child's individual rights

2018-01-13 05:04:23 UTC  

Well i think the ideal is the child have not developed individuality (self autonomy) yet, so there for can not have individual rights.

2018-01-13 05:04:24 UTC  

ultimately I think you must impose a particular moral authority to fully make the case that this is wrong, though

2018-01-13 05:04:39 UTC  

Just look at this Facebook post

2018-01-13 05:05:14 UTC  

The child has been brainwashed into thinking this is okay

2018-01-13 05:05:14 UTC  

in that case wouldn't he be his parents responsibility? if there is no responsibilty to society as a collective

2018-01-13 05:05:33 UTC  

Yes

2018-01-13 05:05:43 UTC  

That's how grooming works, you convince the child to "give consent".

2018-01-13 05:05:58 UTC  

and it isn't the parent's right to do this because

2018-01-13 05:06:03 UTC  

“This is so angering to me. I'm seeing people say it's "his" choice. When you are a kid, don't know if you remember this, but you were literally an attachment of whatever beliefs and values and thoughts and opinions they had. This has the liberal agenda written all over it. Kids at that age don't have the capacity to know what they want apart from what their parents want. I remember as a kid just saying yes and agreeing to whatever my mom said because I just wanted to do and say things she would like. I'm not an agreeable person. That's just kids! They don't know who they are and don't have the full capacity to delve into that yet so they latch onto whatever the parent feeds them. It's clear that these parents are fueling this. It's also clear that he's mimicking whatever he's seeing on TV. They aren't raising a child, they are raising someone under the name of a political agenda who will spend their life very confused. The fact that the Mom is using feminine pronouns. It's like does she want a transgender child? Boys can like girly things without ever being fed the notion that they must be girls just as girls can like boyish things without ever being fed the notion that they must be boys. The ironic thing is that the entire thing is supposed to be "gender is fluid." If gender is fluid then why on earth whenever a child displays something not typically female or male THEY MUST be the opposite gender? Clearly gender isn't fluid and if a child doesn't act fully male and plays with dolls then he must fully fit into the female category. Or vice versa.”

2018-01-13 05:06:43 UTC  

and I would agree Stargazer, the child must subject to an authority that has his best interests at heart

2018-01-13 05:06:49 UTC  

If it was a straight 8 years old girl giving lap dances to straight old men, people would be outraged.

2018-01-13 05:06:52 UTC  

this is the best thing for society

2018-01-13 05:08:49 UTC  

it would seem the "liberal" thing to do would be to not interfere in the affairs of the parent and child, right?

2018-01-13 05:09:05 UTC  

But instead it’s a 8 year old boy crossdressing giving lap dances to old men

2018-01-13 05:09:16 UTC  

You don’t have to align with everything liberal

2018-01-13 05:09:37 UTC  

Yes. I suppose that is the liberal way but we aren’t right on everything

2018-01-13 05:09:50 UTC  

No Apotheosis, because he will be an individal so parents can do just anything

2018-01-13 05:10:06 UTC  

By that logic, the liberal thing to do would be to not interfere with slave owners' affairs.

2018-01-13 05:10:24 UTC  

good point, it's about the child's liberation

2018-01-13 05:12:36 UTC  

but on what grounds is this bad way of raising the child? Is it more liberating for the parents to be raising them as they see fit, is it more liberating to let the child do what he wants, or is it more liberating for the state to intervene when necessary?

2018-01-13 05:12:54 UTC  

doesn't this entirely depend on a separate moral judgement than what is "liberating"

2018-01-13 05:13:16 UTC  

isn't it what is good for the self, family, and society in a particular balance what is ultimately important??

2018-01-13 05:16:08 UTC  

and wanting to push your idea of "good," instead of leaving people as they are in a state such as this is anything but "liberal" but is the moral thing to do?

2018-01-13 05:16:26 UTC  

What is important is what is liberating for the indidual, while yes kids are not yet individual are there for tecnicly the property of the parents, but since kids eventaly become individals people should not interfer with that procces, killing, abuse, exc.

2018-01-13 05:17:39 UTC  

ah, so it is a particular process of raising children that you want to enforce. at least, it is bounded where this in particular is out of bounds

2018-01-13 05:19:56 UTC  

they must be raised in such a way that they become an "individual"

2018-01-13 05:21:43 UTC  

makes sense

2018-01-13 05:22:57 UTC  

under the classical liberal ideology it makes sense to recommend children be raised in such a way that they become capable members of a classical liberal society and will champion your ideals

2018-01-13 05:23:12 UTC  

but is that not enforcing your values onto a collective?
