Smalltalk
(hexbear.net)
Seriously what is up with whining about people bringing their kids shopping. I get that they hate poor people I just would expect them to have more than one thing to talk about
Edit: Even though I enjoy conflict, I guess I'll add some context here anyway. The usual line I hear as smalltalk is "You don't have to bring the whole family shopping," which if you don't shut it down immediately, will be followed up with some of the most racist and/or classist statements you can imagine, typically involving birth rates
Kids don’t belong in public. They’re meant to be stored at home along with all your other property. You exist at home. You exist at work while your kids are in school. All other places require money which kids don’t have because they’re not people yet. This is how society works and therefore how society should be. It doesn’t exist within a broader context so please don’t check.
this attitude is just the Victorian "children are to be seen and not heard"
Dw, judging by the last sentence they're joking about that Victorian attitude
Yeah I know and was agreeing with them
Yes, but you have to spell it out because that’s still some people’s unironic take
"I am very progressive I just have the same social views about poor children as an 18th century mill owner"
"Yes, they're my kids, but they need to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. Yes, I do think having kids is like having slaves, why do you ask?"
