Kids are basically treated like pets nowadays.

Yeah, it’s kind of unthinkable today honestly. I don’t know anybody who’d just let their kids out on their own, and you’d probably get charged with neglect if you did.

Indeed, and the whole culture of rugged individualism doesn’t really help things either. People in a socialist society like USSR were able to come together and help each other, but in the US it’s going to be dog eat dog.

I expect this sort of stuff will make the collapse in the US far worse than it was for USSR. Car culture entirely depends on well functioning logistics. Once those start to break down then all hell is going to break loose. It’s only going to take a short disruption of food and fuel being delivered to the suburbs to make them unlivable.

Perfectly illustrating how superficial freedom of choice is in the west.

I love how rankled all the libs get when they see this.

I grew up in a Soviet apartment bloc, and I did way more exploring outside than kids living in suburbia could ever hope to. For one, it was completely safe to let kids go out and play on their own. There were always green spaces and playgrounds between a few apartment buildings, and you’d go and play there.

lmao imagine thinking that being a racist sack of shit is sensible
