RE: What Is @familyprotection? What Are The Rules? How Do I Donate?
i Think perhaps it happens in America and Europe because we’ve moved to a system where hand to mouth needs are generally resolved and part of looking ‘civilised’ is addressing rights of children. Any system that monetises the protection of the rights of children is going to be open to corruption for sure.
In India it’s cheaper not to protect children. In the US for example, they have to be doing so.
Also, as a libertarian I strongly believe any system that starts to ‘nanny’ the people will become progressively more controlling and more arrogant. It’s group polarisation that happens within authorities. They come to justify their actions with their prejudices. It’s a kind of mind state Freud (hate the man!) called ‘camouflage’. We will do a lot of things that suit us by covering them (even to ourselves) with the ‘needs’ of another (for protection, ‘because they don’t know what’s best for them’ etc).
Even quite moral people can get wrapped up in corrupting a system this way.
I learned how their heads work whilst working with our local authority to deal with their awful treatment of home educators and in the UK education and welfare are dealt with by the same department and there’s frequently a conflation of education and welfare. We were flagged as an ‘at risk’ group without any cause and it was causing a lot of problems.
Do you mean when like when liberals hide their fear of radicals by making out they don't challenge them as they are "tollerant"?
The people who work for social services are as you mention. often. i find working class kids who go to university often end up looking down on and patronizing the communities they come from. Social services employ a lot of this type of person..
