CaitlinJohnstone heeft weer eens een heerlijk
sarcastisch stuk geschreven, waarin ze afgeeft op kinderen en
volwassenen ophemelt, echter zoals je al begrepen had, ze bedoelt het tegenovergestelde.

Grown-Ups Like Us
by Caitlin Johnstone
Children
arrive in this world unthinking and empty-headed, like idiots. We
have to teach them how to be smart and knowledgeable thinkers like
us.
A
small child can run around and play happily with a stick or a leaf,
because children are stupid and they don't yet know how to stare at
their phones tensely waiting for a stranger on social media to
respond to your clever comment telling them why their opinion is
wrong.
Children
are too naive to know anything about opinions and ideas. They need us
to teach them how to move their interest and attention away from the
things that are happening around them and focus instead upon the
thoughts in their heads, until the outer world loses its color and
they can live without distraction in the inner world of mental noise.
Grown-ups
are much better and smarter than children, because we know all the
different words for things, and we also know the opposites of those
words, and we also know how to make the words and their opposites
fight with each other in our heads while we push salty starchfat into
our mouths and watch talk shows.
Children
don't even know anything about politics. They are too small and
simplistic to understand that we live in a country that is run by a
Good Party and a Bad Party, and the Bad Party does bad things and the
Good Party also does bad things but only because the Bad Party made
them do it.
We
have to teach children about the Good Party and the Bad Party, and
teach them how to hate the Bad Party because they don't yet know that
there are different kinds of people and that you're supposed to hate
some of them. Children don't even know how to hate until we teach
them, that's how stupid they are.
When
you try to teach children about war they always cry like little
bitches. Like pansies. They act like sending large groups of people
in our country to go kill other groups of people in another country
is crazy and disordered, when obviously it is they who are crazy and
disordered. We need to teach children how to be sane and normal by
any means necessary, including hitting them.
One
time my child wanted some food and I told him we don't have enough
money for food, and he said we should just go to the "money
making machine" and get some money. He was talking about an ATM,
the imbecile. I laughed in his face. I laughed and laughed and
laughed because he didn't understand how money works. I tried to
teach him how people don't get to eat unless they have the right kind
of numbers in their bank accounts, but he kept looking at me like I
was saying something strange. Then we just laid around thinking about
how hungry we were until we fell asleep.
It's
hard work being a parent. You get this weird little baby critter who
doesn't know how to do anything, and then you have to spend years of
your life teaching them how to think, how to want, how to hate, how
to fight, how to take, and how to stop sitting around all blissed out
like a dumbass stoner all the time. You have to teach them and
shape them so that they can take part in this wonderful society that
we grown-ups built for them, and they don't even understand what a
gift you're giving them, they just cry about it like ungrateful
little jerks.
In
the end though it's just what you've got to do in order to mold
children into smart and sensible grown-ups, like us.
