The global society is currently trying to overcome gender, race and sexuality issues, while our children are still being treated mostly like slaves - it's for the sure the next fronteer, but maybe it will take a while.
in no particular order:
a. their freedom of speech is largely limited;
b. their freedom of movement is almost non-existant;
c. they do not have the right to own property;
d. parents have an immense power over them, with zero
oversight in most cases, in a manner analogue to egypt pharaoh's or something (also, like pharaohs, they claim the children are THEIR PROPERTY, just like slaves in commerce);
e. they are ridicularized and treated as incapable a lot of times and get harshly criticized while adult society is a clear disaster;
f. they get their creativity and will to live supressed, repressed;
g. they are coerced into taking part in school brainwashing, a lot of times having more responsabilities than their parents;
h. they don't get paid for their work;
i. the child can escape from the cancer of nuclear family, but in most cases if they choose to do so they will end up in even worst swamps;
j. children get lied to, tricked and manipulated all the time;
k. beyond being denied the freedom of speech, a lot of times they are more deeply denied the broad freedom of thought, being forced into some religious brainfuc* of some sort;
l. not to mention all direct abuse like free labor, physical and/or verbal abuse, all kinds of prejudice, etc;
m. marginalized everywhere by cities, places and adults that ain't safe or fun;
etc
"All that which might be destroyed should be destroyed, in order to free children from slavery" A saying from an old revolutionary.

- Sirened 5y ago100%. I don't know where the seemingly common believe that being a kid is easy. It's simple in the sense that you have no choices to make, but that lack of choice is exactly what makes it so difficult. Being an adult is so much easier than being a kid because you can care for yourself and self-determine
- dudeman13 5y agoWill definitely take a long while. People in general aren't up to be criticized on that one, even indirectly. Children are like cute kitties: no one wants to see them tortured, but they don't really get to be treated respectfully in any way or form. The flag for "do I respect them?" is always set to True and yet it is almost never reflected in the actual behaviour towards them. People are at least willing to entertain the thought that you aren't an absolute idiot, might be acting in good faith and have some sort of internal capacity for morality or ethics if you're an adult.
- gverrilla 5y agoYeah. It's not like it's parents to blame 100% for it. Most of it is inconscient behavior, and also in a lot of cases there's few options for the parents - it's not like they live the lives of Pharaoh's lmao. The way I see it, the current state of children won't change directly, as in parents learning better ways directly by being convinced by rationality(this happens, of course, but it's weak force). It takes a full society change for this state to evolve. But I don't think it will take that long, if you ask: history is moving fast and there's a lot going on - I'm an optimist.
- brimble 5y ago> h. they don't get paid for their work; Flip side is that means I can charge them for room & board. Bring it on.
