marchcouldbedarker: milkypetalwater: blkoutqueen: kardashiansfuckyeah: I’M SCREAMING Where can I get these warning notes so I can troll my brothers the entire week leading up to Christmas? Hey it’s the thing that causes anxiety disorders and personality shifts in small children :D

Lazy parents can’t even talk to their kids so they gotta threaten them ^that^ like how come terrorizing children in the name of discipline is so fucking normalized that this guy posts this as a lil Twitter joke ??? And he seems so enthusiastic? That’s what I don’t get- like parents/siblings aren’t supposed to be excited/deriving pleasure from their kids feeling anxious or scared or sad? I see a lot of parents (including ones my age, so it’s not just ~Baby Boomers~, it actually primarily seems to be people 20-35 with kids) who get super excited/happy about finding ~unique/clever~ ways to punish/discipline/correct their children?? Even in situations where it’s necessary for kids to be corrected/taught better, and a non-terrible, anxiety producing method is used (aka not this one), if it’s hard for your kids, it should be hard for you??? Not fun??

In case people were wondering what I mean when I say that some of the synonyms for “American Christian” to me are “authoritarianism” and “abdication of moral agency”, here’s a (low key) example of what I mean.



They’ll use what methods they can to get control, no matter how scummy, and won’t take responsibility for the action themselves, but displace it onto a distant, unaccountable, stern and judgmental authority figure that one has to placate in order to avoid punishment.
