Serious crime deserve serious consequences. 13-18 yo are old enough to know what they are doing is wrong. Also, they get help inside prison and are removed from the criminal environment that bred them. It's not like Turkish prison. -

If you know anything about child soldiers then you know that they can be monsters. Easily brainwashed and work zealously for cheap. They get paid in food an approval and are expendable. It makes sense to exploit children to do your dirty work if you are resource starved which is probably the case for these gangs. -

Sweden didn't put under 18s in prison till now due to the rising gang violence. It's actually normal I think across most of the world to imprison kids for serious crime. Bad immigration policy tends to test liberal utopian dreams. -

It's wild how someone can genuinely come to believe that living in a completely centralized surveillance state is somehow a good thing. -
It's harder to connect with people when they always think that they can do better. That's the crux of modern dating. It keeps people from being open minded and investing too much into potential relationships.

It's kinda scary how literal you are sometimes.

Here's the original article where that glorious catchphrase came from: https://medium.com/world-economic-forum/welcome-to-2030-i-own-nothing-have-no-privacy-and-life-has-never-been-better-ee2eed62f710 It's a fictional story of a future techno utopia but it's pretty ludicrous and reads a bit like 1984. You'd almost think it's parody but it's categorized as an essay. -
I haven't read anything but the whole vibe here is cringey, so probably work on that.

How you know your from Sweden.

My impression is that many leftists are just a bit too ideological and groupthinky to have serious opinions on how to run a country. Complaining about bigotry and capitalism all day on Twitter isn't political, it's just a vibe. There's no strategy beyond expressing virtue. In order to be politically constructive, you can't be overly idealistic. A political leader needs to be fine with making decisions that will kill people.

Some guys have a preference for crazy. I consider them a health hazard.

The difference is hype. I'll believe it when I see it. Techbros want to jump on the lap of hype like an anxious dog.

He has a lot of really good ideas of how humans work that have been foundational to me. People love to hate him for his books not being academic tier, but then he probably couldn't make big general connections about human nature to the same degree, which is what he's good at.

Five minutes of research tells me it's not that simple.

It's accurate. Everything boils down to attention essentially nowadays. -
Being intelligent is about more than just linear processing. Thought require awareness, understanding and intuition, which we're nowhere near replicating The issue is that there's just not enough evidence currently to support the bold claims tech bros are making in my opinion. It's just scepticism.

It's always the oil. A russ chick has sloppy drunk sex in the woods and it has something to do with the oil. Don't even get me started. -
This shit's not even real brah mah gawd

That's the historical moment we live in currently, the breaking of communal bonds. I think that's the primary factor behind this. It has less to do with men or women themselves and more with factors outside of our direct control, like the nature of modern work, commuting, cost of living, social media, etc., though it's possible to counter act it on a personal level.

It's wishful thinking at worst to expect your relationships to not be partial as an adult. Children don't know any better and are blindsided when an adult doesn't love whatever thing they did. Conflict and conditions is just the reality of finite beings interacting with each other. Your better off dispelling any delusions so that you can act more constructively relative to your relationships. -

I have lived there.
