"Leaders" at best see it as a bonus- a class of dependent emotional trainwrecks.

People who are at war with their own body, can never group together to be at war with the ruling class

It is the ruling class that's encouraging people to try waging war against an established culture by attacking their own bodies.

Similar to in California where everything on the playground had to be padded. Kids were not learning that falling down or banging your head can cause serious harm.

Free Range Children is the solution. Obviously, I'm not talking of abandonment or neglect.

But, if you have a 12 or 13 year old, you should be able to hand them a bus schedule (or app, I guess these days) and $40 and leave them at the train station and they should be able to get back home on their own.
