Wholesome mom says she's raising kids tech-free

ted was right

It's not a cult, it's just lazy parenting, which has been around for a long time.
30 years ago, it was the same thing with TV: you were judged for not letting the TV raise your kids.
The shaming is just louder now because those same retards who were raised by TV are now shitting out kids, and the Internet gives them a megaphone.

youre the same kind of person who was against the printing press because it made kids read instead of work constantly. die boomer

>It says here you don't know how to use a computer?
No job for you.
She's setting them up for failure.

I sometimes see strollers with tablet attachments and it's just autoplaying trash on YouTube for the kid.. It's also been proven that it fucks up kids eyesight badly.

Just make sure your kids aren't passively consuming. Whether it's computers, television or books, there is a related creative endeavor that they can engage in.

>raising kids on the internet gives them personality disorders
Seems that way. My 8 year old cousin (of my Xer punk aunt) with nigh unfettered internet access is already, literally, a tranny. Wants to be called a girl name and she/her.

It's no joke.

I'm conflicted on how I'll raise future kids. In one way, I don't want them to be social outcasts in highschool by not having social media/general internet but on the other hand I don't want them being socially retarded because of social media and tranny groomers.

No, the general idea behind it is besides concerning itself with frivilous matters, it also introduces one to communities outside the local one and with it norms that may be antithetical to the local and detrimental to the child's development. You can't control who they interact with and they fall into the wrong crowds.

This would be my main concern letting someone young on the internet alone, when I was a kid the most harm was seeing gore or porn, nowadays they're more actively brainwashed wherever they go even on mainstream sites like YouTube.
I think the best way is to do what said, and be with them when using the internet and teach them how to think for themselves before letting them be on their own.

The printing press took away oral culture and traditions

It's not hard: the same way you teach your child not to follow strangers for candy, you teach him not to do as strangers on the internet ask.
>inb4 but that's not enough
The average person falls for the dumbest scams and phishing emails, and bad actors go for easy prey: you don't need to outrun the bear, you just need to outrun the lardass next to you.

monitor their social media accounts
compared to restricting screentime, this should be easy

same thing can be said of books. what you're describing is a problem with how the technology is interacted with. the internet is the greatest wealth of human knowledge ever compiled, to shun it because it may familiarize people with external cultures and nontraditional knowledge is actual brainlet shit

How would you feel if they turned out like you?

Maybe, idk. In my mind I just consider kids to be very naive and I'd basically have to be looking over their shoulder constantly to make sure they're not getting messed up by some creep on Discord or whatever shitty app is popular in 15 years.

Probably not so good. I started using the internet at the end of the 90s/early 00s and I believe it has fucked me up a little bit. I'd rather they don't see some of the shit I've seen and I'd especially prefer they don't see the messed up shit we're seeing currently on the internet.

I'm against because i know how awful the entirety of the internet truly is, not to mention groomers on discord, tik tok and twitter

>I think the best way is to do what#said, and be with them when using the internet and teach them how to think for themselves before letting them be on their own.
That's really what all parents should do for their children, is control the early stages of their sociocultural indoctrination by providing them with a handcrafted list of materials to access. Now that as acknowledges a lot more active subversion exists out in the wild web, you as the parent have to effectively brainwash and groom them against globohomo; even teaching them to be a run of the mill edgelord would be better than risking them becoming any other thing from exposure to the mass internet and """children's""" (((shows))) that get thrown up on JewTube.

At the end of the day, no sane and savvy parent should send their children out into the WWW without an intellectual condom on. You really just have to come out and give them The Talk so that they can be immunized against the dangers they'll encounter. It's really just a little more involved than telling them not to get into strange men's vans when they offer candy.

The world wide web offers nothing books and physical media don't other than contrarian hot-takes no respectable publisher would put to print.

I'd always thought it's only this late millennial generation that would be fucked up by early exposure to the internet without parents knowledgeable to guide them through it. But somehow these same millennials once adults don't seem to be helping their kids navigate through the internet. Maybe its a "well I turned out fine" mindset.
But mindboggling thing to reflect on is how quickly things shifted to "everyone online is a monster who will kidnap you if you tell them their real name" to "publish every second of your life".

Because that fearmongering is inextricably tied now with the christfaggotry hysteria that led to Pokemon being called Satanic and banned from the household. People grew up thinking it's all bullshit without an ounce of credibility, so swung the pendulum all the way backward.

Kids are naive, not necessarily stupid: they can be taught to be wary of deception, and if you aren't an incredibly bad parent odds are they'll choose your teachings over the possibility of getting free roblox.
A lot of adults are flat out stupid: they can't be taught, they won't learn from their mistakes, and if you try to help they'll just get mad at you.

About creeps on discord, don't worry too much: almost all child rape is done by IRL close acquantainces, very often within the family, so if you keep an eye on weird uncles n shit you're gucci.

ha its nothing compared to satanic panic shit.
