    With a dad like that, I’m sure the kids got an excellent demonstration of authoritarianism when they complained about it.

      He probably said something like “in my house I’m king, and you have to do what I say” which leads the kids to grow up to 18 and leave the house as quickly as possible. In the years ahead this dad will complain that his kids never visit him and that they got “too woke” when they left the house still be completely oblivious that he himself was the architect of the estrangement.

    Taught my kids about a thing by verbally and physically abusing them. But then I got older and weaker while they entered their physical and mental prime. So now, every time my teenage sons come home, I keep a shotgun in easy reach and sit with my back to the wall. I can’t wait until they get out of my house, so I can be alone until I die.

    No one is really asking to transform the government into 100% socialism. We just want the bullshit loopholes to end. The ultra rich get away with everything and don’t pay taxes. That shit needs to end.
