Lemme tell ya, if I grew up with this antagonistic a relationship with adults I would be even less inclined to support the right.


Which antagonistic relationship with adults are you referring to?


If adults wanted me not to use some of the greatest resources available to humans in order to "protect" me it would cause me to constantly be wasting time I could be using to do something fun or useful on circumventing idiotic protections.

I don't like having my time wasted and I would certainly never vote for the people who want to waste my time. And that's the best case scenario, some people wouldn't be able to circumvent the ban and they'd be stuck atrophying.

The idea that twitter/facebook/4chan/instagram/discord etc aren't essential to existing in a world that's changing as fast as ours is laughable. In the last 2 weeks I've gone from novice to expert in using stable diffusion to create animations purely off discussions on social media, this information doesn't exist anywhere else in a field that's being upended every few weeks by new developments. That's not something that's going to change going into the future, the rate of change is increasing and we need to PREPARE our youth for that, not deny them the only way to stay relevant.


You make a strong case.
