lol WTF we are already there, they have just taken the soft approach.
Ask nearly any school kid (besides mine) around here what they think of Trump and they will all proudly declare their undying hate for him. Ask them why that is and their faces will glaze over. They have no idea why, its just what they think, why would they need anymore than that?
Ask my kids and their answer will be "Im not sure i'm not old enough to understand that".
They had a kids mainstream chanel on their ipads and laptops.
I ended up deleting it when I overheard some 8-9 year old white girl saying "I was born white and sometimes that makes me feel bad because I know I have privileges my non white friends dont have" like a mindless drone staring blankly into the camera like she had a fucking frontal lobotomy, her eyes showed as much emotion as the cam on my machine im typing on.
The good thing is that reality is all around them, just be present enough to show them and care enough to answer seemingly (they arent stupid, think about what they are asking ans why) stupid questions from them.
I agree wholeheartedly on all of this, the soft approach is being implemented but isn't on the level of China yet but the writings on the wall, I am sorrowful for my grandkids and the world they'll have to grow up in. My son thankfully watches almost no television and has a strong distaste for any commercials on his shows and seems to be a critical thinker for now.
The dogshit my wife watches however? That's a whole other story.
