It's like society has no concept of anything between "Victorian child labor" and "uwu little baby til 25 uwu." People are increasingly treated as if they have no autonomy whatsoever and they eat that shit up in order to just mindlessly consume media and do little else with their time.
All more the reason why even though my Autism was made the scapegoat more times than I can count, I fought for the freedom to grow and understand, even though some adults didn't even want me to grow, but rather stay a child. It's beyond disturbing.

But isn't that exactly the point? I mean obviously we can't have child labor anywhere in the west, so we force child labor upon countries where it receives little to no attention, while our masters keep us domesticated with endless scrolls and social media. If we were encouraged to read, socialize, debate and actually use our brains, we become dangerous.
