fear of technology - let's call it technophobia - is a growing, developing threat in our society that needs to be addressed with education and exposure. when people have a better understanding of technology, and are exposed to it more, they tend to have less fear or resentment of it.

banning children from technology is not a socialist position; socialists embrace technology as the solution to wage slavery, which is the characteristic of capitalism that makes it little different than feudalism or other historical forms of slavery. wage slave capitalism is just the current world's form of slavery. civilization needs slaves to function. only technology offers us an escape, where we can build a civilized society without the coercive wage work or other types of physical slavery that are required for the civilization to function.

banning children from technology could only be seen as an extremely right-wing political position, and those that advocate for it should be correctly considered to be far-right, technophobic extremists.

canadian politicians have been bitching about "competitiveness" for decades, and then they keep doing retarded things like banning kids from technology. you think that's going to make us more or less competitive? i mean, c'mon.

if you let these right-wing conservative politicians in the ndp make decisions for the country, we're going to end up looking like iran.

there's a country that bans internet access for young people: iran. is that what we want? it seems to be what the ndp wants.

some percentage of children are going to end up as worthless, hopeless retards. that's how it is.

at the end of the day, some percentage of children will survive to reproduce and some percentage will die. that's inevitable. that's evolution. your genes might fail. so it goes.

you very well might have stupid, useless, worthless children. that might be true.

but, it's your own fucking fault, and the fact that you're considering banning them from using technology is a symptom of the poor parenting skills that led you to this situation, not a solution. maybe you should start giving them things instead of focusing on taking things away.

your stupid idiot kids are not jeff bezos' fault. they're you're fault.

take responsibility for your failures as a parent and stop blaming it on technology.

i don't want to see children raised in some backwards dystopic primitivist amish hellhole and i'll fight to stop it to the extent that i can. that's not the kind of society i'm going to live in.

banning your kids from technology is not good parenting. it's abusive and it will harm them.

some kids will use the technology to write symphonies and novels. some of them will waste their lives playing video games.

but that's a reflection of the person and not of the technology.

stop blaming technology for the defects of human behaviour. it makes you sound like a conservative retard.
