Anti: Children can't consent because of the power differential
Me: Did I mention I was pro2A? Because lots of people can't consent because of a power differential, which is why I want that differential to be minimized.

Consent is important, and the power to defend that consent is also important.

@Jazzy_Butts @amerika when I look at the world i get pretty existential because it's hard for me to imagine ways that meaningful Change can happen at a large scale

"arm all children" is simple and elegant and certainly would cause Something to happen to the way the world currently operates. I say we do it *slams huge rubber APPROVED stamp on the bill*

Most human ideas are delusions. It is possible to overcome that, if we have the will, but it is not going to be what most people want to see.

Around here, kids are armed, sort of. You grow up with your BB gun, then a .22 LR, then eventually you get a real deer huntin' rifle.

It's part of a way of life. As part of that, people learn actual firearms safety, which most humans do not know.

@amerika @Jazzy_Butts i was thinking about how it's pretty normal / reasonable in like a john steinbeck novel to have cultures where you grow up with knowledge & respectful relationship with guns. was imagining something more like every child is given a handgun on their first day of grade school or something

That's basically how it is around here.

I'm good with giving kids guns when they are old enough to use them responsibly, and when they are in a culture of safe gun use.

re: Fantasy 

@amerika @Jazzy_Butts i think because the original context was re: the way 'having a gun' modifies agency and coercive power of the people around you i just found myself really intrigued by the idea of modifying all of those power differentials in some crude + chaotic + arbitrary + intense way

re: Fantasy 

@amerika @Jazzy_Butts reality is just 'battle royale' except its the entire world and 100% of the kids have guns instead of only a few of them having guns

@amerika @Jazzy_Butts @rats if you like metal, this is art/math rock on the first half but its extremely industrial sounding. whole album makes me cry, ive listened to it for years https://hella.bandcamp.com/album/church-gone-wild-chirpin-hard

Reminds me of a more frenetic version of Kong. It was a fun listen.

@amerika @Jazzy_Butts @rats theres one band named Kong that has a wikipedia page, but i also found https://kongdoms.bandcamp.com/album/snake-magnet and i think thats probably the one you meant

These guys, who apparently are obscure like another favorite, Thule:

I don't know -- I refuse to use Wikipedia.

But, the 1990s Kong that I linked at Discogs should be a fit.

i never did look much into trey spruance or secret chiefs 3 in particular but i have admiration for all of his writing i've encountered... for thinking along the lines of particularly high-concept/philosophical metal-y work

I never quit being one. I just added adult/maturation methods in order to be more effective.
