But they did so within their system.
they still had authority figures..
Questioning authority isn't mutually exclusive with having authority.
the current school system has abolish the authorative figure
Exactly
I haven't been in school for quite a while.
you haven't?
I remember seeing peers spanked bare bottom in front of the whole class.
Teacher would keep a paddle on the wall near the door.
oh the old days..
are you that old?
From a rural town. So they probably were a bit resistant to change.
we need some of that BACK
And yeah, I'm probably much older than most of the people who use discord.
The physical punnishment is wrong.
But you dont actually need to get rid of the authority figure
It helped form my anti-authoritarian beliefs.
Teachers can be authority figures without resorting to violence
I agree. And they should.
I actually come from a savage private school.
When I got into a modern school
I was so fucking gratefull
My first reaction was actually that I wanted the teachers to be more authoritarian
to the other students who misbehaved
the problem with FREE schools.
is that the kids who are assholes
are not punnished.
I mostly just want to see the law applied even handedly and not selectively.
the problem with asshole school
is that everyone are punnished collectively all the time
(and for all consensual crimes to be legal)
LOL
Maybe I am a libertarian.
I consider myself very libertarian as well.
Collective punishment seems useful in the military I guess?
but I think society needs to be mix of the power we give to authorities
and the freedrom we demand for ourselves.
I dont think so.
I think collective punishment just damage the group morale
its not like soldiers get many luxeries to begin with..
also collective punishment
assumes that you dont know who is guilty..
you could speculate that just being in the army
and volunteering for a fucking war
is a sacrifice equivalent to collective punnishment already
Well, you get paid and some of it is tax free ...
if you survive and when you get back home...
True
My brain is going off on a bit of a libertarian tangent.
