I've never heard an ideologically consistent argument for young children having the right to self determinism. can square lgbtq+ issues with "it's bedtime" and "don't put that in your mouth"?

but to point of centralization, I don't won't my children exposed to evangelicalism until a certain age. that's incompatible with evangelicals, who have no fewer rights than i do. you'd favor one group over another, whereas I'd split authority to empower both equally and protect each from the other.

fair enough. for adults I absolutely have an individual choice fetish, assuming choices are accompanied by natural individual consequences.

it's sticky wrt minors since the rights/responsibilities dynamic is broken, but children don't choose their parents or genes to begin with..

so the children get to choose their own curricula?
June 27, 2025 at 10:57 PM
they'll obviously apply this in a grossly uneven fashion, but you decided to ignore that and instead focus on the principle that individual choice is bad and some centralized authority knows what's best for everyone.

maybe you're not so different from the christofascists.
