If you don’t talk to your kids about Socialism, who will?

Seriously though, I worry about this. I have an 18mo old daughter, another on the way and no clue what I’m doing.

My plan thus far has been to hope they mirror my politics like I did with my parents. Any input is appreciated.

As soon as they can start understanding it, point out the bullshit. If there's a piece on the news do the research in front of them.

Instill a healthy skepticism, of everything they're told. Even gravity, obvious things. Encourage curiosity, and get them to discover for themselves the reason for why things are. If they can figure out how to design an experiment to test a hypothesis and understand the results, they'll be naturally immunized to this modern anti-science group-think. If they get the difference between "things fall down" and "mass exerts a force, and things will 'fall' toward the center of mass" then they'll naturally be repulsed by "you can't be racist against whites."

Also, remember there were kids in the wild west and in the depression and in the dust bowl. Kids are resilient and can grow up fast. Don't baby them into their 30s.

Check out Stefan Molyneux. He has a wealth of information on peaceful parenting, homeschooling, and philosophy. He got scrubbed from youtube, but you can find his stuff on bitchute.

Nobody ever does -- it's a constantly evolving field of engagement. Just teach your children to think for themselves -- and sometimes that means they are going to disagree with you pretty harshly; at a certain point, on certain things they have a right to, they have their own lives to live -- and teach them that you love them, that your family comes first and the difference between being good and "nice". And then, when they are old enough, you let them go and take their chance in this world -- because how can you talk about freedom if you won't let them go out and make their way? Oh, above all else, teach them to be well read (for understanding) and give them good books...and then let them read Das Capital and Mein Kampf and other things when you think they are ready to, and ask them what they think of it. In order to stay away from/protect oneself against evil, you have to face it and know it.
