       I of course agree in theory that anyone not adhering to the
       Covid-19 protocols deserve being shot on site, and the shooter
       would be totally justified in doing so. Most Westerners have
       not, and probably would not, agree with this because they are
       democratic and believe freedom means they get to do whatever the
       hell they want and to anybody they want to do it to. However, I
       wonder if this next strain does actually make the necessary
       mutation and starts jumping to humans if atleast some Westerners
       will change their mind on this, because this next potential
       strain has a supposed 33% mortality rate?:

       end of the video, overall this is a tremendous improvement in
       how to describe Trumpism:

       they too have an important role to play.

       It's not paradoxical at all. Children like it when FAIR
       INDIVIDUALS are in charge. Children "desperately want power"
       because UNJUST TYRANTS (i.e. parents and teachers) unfairly
       control every element of their own lives. Children like fantasy
       worlds where young characters are respected and fairly allowed
       to live up to their potential. I imagine nearly all examples of
       children "acting out" are children trying to make adults realize
       they deserve respect, agency, and autonomy...
       This is all obvious if you have even the most basic memories of
       your own childhood.
       --- Quote ---
       > “Children know there are a lot of scary things in the world,
       that there are a lot of bad things that can happen, and these
       shows make them feel like they could be part of fixing it,”
       Klein said. “But they know at some level that they can’t take
       care of things solely on their own, and being part of a team
       makes them feel safe.”
       --- End Quote ---
       Again, the author thinks this is a bad thing...? It is difficult

       making it sound appealing. Lol  ;D

       > Uhls said preschool-age children pay close attention to social
       cues and status, all in an attempt to figure out where they

       confirm what they are struggling to understand in their own
       lives: mainly, that someone else, probably a parent or teacher,
       is in charge.
       --- End Quote ---
       Again, that's why they like the fair autocracy in fantasy, as
       opposed to the UNJUST TYRANNY of the hierarchy they are forced
       to live in every day.
       The author also predictably misses the point by trying to start
       gender wars over cartoons involving talking dogs and talking
       trains?

       "Children like it when FAIR INDIVIDUALS are in charge."
       "that's why they like the fair autocracy in fantasy, as opposed
       to the UNJUST TYRANNY of the hierarchy they are forced to live
       in every day."
       Similarly, in foreign policy, children like interventionism in
       support of the good guys, as opposed to interventionism in
       support of the bad guys, but they certainly do not like
       non-interventionism. And by good guys/bad guys, they are
       thinking in terms of moral absolutes as opposed to good/bad for
       one's own interests. In fantasy, certainly, both
       non-interventionism and self-interested interventionism would
       not be inspiring plotlines. The only inspiring plotline is
       heroic interventionism.
