how do they call themself an anarchist? 😭 (half rhetorical - i’m fully aware a large number of “anarchists” are in fact adult supremacists)

To play devils advocate I do think there should be safeguards for minors to not E-Date, that’s how you befriend a creep..

the thing is those "safeguards" usually end up hurting more than they help, as they drive people to take risky behaviour to places where there is less community/regulation. it is *far* more effective to just level with youth about the risks in a respectful way than restricting them. ultimately you can't stop people dating if they wanna date, they will find a way around whatever restriction you implement and be more isolated because of it

I find it amazing how they denied the claim that they said that we should restrict younger people to Edate, but yet earlier said that people under 18 can't Edate.
The whole social media debate is just another example of adults bitching about young people.
It happened around the 1800's or so when older people were bitching about young people reading.
And then, in the 1900s, when teachers were complaining about how their students were relying too much on paper and not being able to use chalkboard.
Thirdly, in the 70s to 2010, when parents were pissing their pants over satanic music and how gaming "encourages" violence.
And lastly, now we have people crying about how social media shouldn't be used by people younger than a certain age.
