In rural Georgia, a 10-year-old boy left home and walked a mile down the road to another town, where a concerned citizen called law enforcement. Deputies then arrested the boy’s mother, igniting a debate about parental rights and potential government overreach.
Yep I’m this way and have recently come to realize that at my core I just don’t actually believe any other human has the right to tell me what to do. Full stop. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I should be allowed to do whatever I want, I understand my responsibilities, to my loved ones and society, better than most honestly. I just really can’t tolerate being told what to do.
And oddly it makes me a productive employee, a thoughtful partner, a good friend…largely to avoid scenarios where someone feels like they need to tell me what’s up.
But yeah, all the time society feels more and more like a constricting, stifling set of agreements…which I never actually agreed to.
To be fair, people have been people all throughout history - as a collective we’re ready to play whatever game society is currently offering, and we usually have enough people to fill all roles.

Yeah. I fucking hate it. I have serious issues with authority and it seems like there’s more and more restrictions every fucking day.

Yeah. The problem isn’t that everybody is turning into wimps.
The problem is that a critical mass of people are turning into paranoid busybody boot licking narcs.
