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.

shitting on fat chicks is my job. Don't give my job away to the feminists.

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.
