"Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. ...voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

Comment treating our kids like snowflakes (Score 1) 437

Back in those days, child labor and beating your children was acceptable, this allowed them to be more creative and have more drive to change their situation.

Now we mostly hand kids anything they want, and they have no drive to do anything, we protect them from everything, they have no ability to be more creative to protect themselves.

While I am not advocating selling your children to slavery and beating them, I would certainly push to find ways to enhance their ambition and creativity, and not protecting them from EVERYTHING, this is not helping them.
