I'm not a parent or a teacher, and I don't pay much attention to trends in parenting, but this and the anti post made me wonder... if attempts to keep millennials (in particular, the white privileged ones) from feeling pain translated into millennial parents attempting to keep their kids from feeling any discomfort or dissonance at all (because the scale of 'what pain is possible' has shrunk?), and their kids have internalised that? If so, what happens with the next generation? Where does it end?

Everywhere I look these days, it feels like people are weaponising the internet. We've only had it in widespread use for a couple of decades -- how is it such a cesspit already? :-(

(I'm keeping/reclaiming "kind" for as long as I can.)
