For some bullshit rules. 6', 2 1/2' in an elevator. But, if you are eating or drinking (in Vegas, smoking in designated areas) is fine.
My 8 year old knows it feels weird and queer upon his existence (slow your role gays, I mean queer in the natrual sense).
But he knows. He looks indignant and yet compliant to me, if I ask. So I am not sure how to ask him or if I should tell him to say no.
We have gotten to the point where the 'living man', Constitutionalist... or just a kid being a kid, are becoming invalid ideals about how 'Covid compliance'. To them it means they have to hide themselves and conform to a rule they have no inderstaning of that shrinks their potential.
So what do you think about what I should say to my little man?
You should tell him it's all bullshit and to always question everything!
Yes, I do that. But once you say it and you make your own son comply, you look like a hypocrite.
No
You may have a point, please explain.
I have a toddler so a little different but I refuse to have my kid wear a mask or even be out and about when everyone is wearing one because I don't want it to be normalized. Not until things go back to normal and the masks are largely or entirely gone will I expose them to that.
I think around age 8-9 is when I started getting full cognition. Kids questioning authority at that age might be a bad thing. Might not be good to share the full truth with him till he learns more about what's going on.
I would try to make sure his air is impeded as little as possible. Good resources = strong lad. Some areas he will be forced to wear the muzzle.
Good name.
But we already have so many muzzles of control (Obamacare, NSA, PatriotAct Tech shadow banning, social shamimg). While I am trying to teach him sovreignty and providence. I have done so pretty successfully while still living in a city. But where is the line to demoralize your son so he can 'play along' or tell him to regect what he knows is weird - and become an outcast with no discernable future?
That is so damned funny and yet true. Good on you.
At 8, its not his opinions and actions that count. Its yours. Conform and be a coward. Disobey and be brave and fight back and be a rebel. Balance between the two will confuse him immensely without complex explanations his mind may not compreheend fully.
I mostly agree with your idea. And we are going to home school him with logic and faith. Oitside of that:
Fight the power and have my kid poor and ostrasized from society. Have him watch me play along and look like a hypocrite to feed him (and save enough in 4 years when most boys become rebels). Or, find enough money to buy a house away from a city, so he can learn this is all a system of control.
(Hint: my couch cushions did not give me enough money for a down payment on a shack and the ability to pack our belongings into a truck to move out of sin city).
And because people are too afraid to lose income to fight tyranny we live in tyranny now.
Correct, the system sets in like slow curing concrete around us.
So, can we create small communities and no masks zones (like open carry zones) to fight the next level of control?
Or are we all destined to give way, like we did with Universal healthcare and TSA?
I will make this it's own pist as well.
