Sasha Stone on the cultism of Gen Z:

“And eventually we had kids and we sought about fixing them. They had to be perfect too because otherwise all of the work we did on ourselves was for naught. Unlike us, our kids would have high self esteem so they wouldn’t become school shooters. They would not be abandoned or abused or molested or kidnapped. We hovered, we coddled, we tinkered. Imperfect children were diagnosed with this disorder or that. Even as toddlers. Then we would drug them into perfection. We gave our children no place to escape, so they escaped online….Cults separate children from parents.”

This has always been my theory about the parenting of today and why it is not parenting at all but self-parenting, regression, narcissism, and projection. Correction and compensation for one’s own childhood.

By cults, Stone means ideology, of course.
