With adults glued to the internet and kids not allowed on because "I said so" is teaching authoritarianism. My possibly controversial opinion is that the household is where all the cucks learned to bow unquestioningly to government authority.

That’s a silly line of reasoning and it’ll take you to some goofy places if you think it all the way through.
I think about it pretty often and it doesn't take me further. You are welcome to point out the flaws in logic though.
Children have their rights held in escrow by their parents because they’re not wise enough to consent or think about long term consequences. This is one of many areas where it’s easily arguable not to just let them consooom.
Your line of reasoning is similar to the ones people use in favor of transitioning kids just with a different ideological spin.
Thanks for the elaboration. In my experience with kids they listen to reason and have the capacity for self preservation and avoiding harm, physical and mental. They can understand at their simple level anything that needs to be impressed upon them, no reliance on an authority position is ever needed. I find that transmitting your values to them and giving them freedom to choose after that, does not disappoint.
Letting your kid go trans is not an authority or lack thereof question, it is a matter of transmitting a (sick) value system to them.
I agree peaceful and voluntary interactions are far more preferential but I think it’s unlikely a child will never want to do something self destructive that you’d want to intervene and prevent.
(sick) indeed..👍
