Talk about making a deal with the devil.

This is quite the admission: we will hobble our children because, you know, teaching them digital literacy is not possible because parents and teachers in our country aren’t competent enough to do so.

So why just ban children and teens from social media? Why would an unschooled 16-year-old be any savvier than a 15-year-old? Age does not bring competence: education does.

That means all Aussies should be banned from using social media. The simple solution would be to teach digital literacy starting from kindergarten. That’s how you prepare a new generation. Not denying them basic communications tools because the adults obviously can’t do it.

This is governmental livestocking: convince the population to relinquish control over their children because they are too stupid to do it on their own. You can’t be wild jungle cats because you’r brainless cows and swine: so let’s herd you and keep you locked in.

Any nation that places bans instead of teaching digital literacy is saying to their citizens: you’re not smart enough to guide your children.

The subtext is blaring and obvious. Instead of encouraging experimentation and practice: you make a new generation less competent and capable than their global peers.

It’s classic wife beater logic: you can’t live without me!

What this means for Australia is simple: a lost generation who fall behind their global peers because their parents fell for Reefer Madness propaganda and are addicted to fear porn.

While their cohorts learn and expand on the capabilities of social media as they incubate businesses and have the tech become second-nature to them, Australian kids get left behind.

Because their government has decided they are defective.

Will the youth censorship be the world’ “first domino”? No. Cultural dominance dictates that youth voices are amplified, not silenced. South Korea understood this and that’s why K-Pop became a global force: they didn’t train middle-aged people to become singers: they trained youth.

Films, television, art, music, and books — the ones which shaped generations came from youthful voices unleashed.

Star athletes didn’t train at 30: they started as children.

I was writing stories and even wrote my first manuscript for a book when I was in Grade 8. I had my first poem published when I was in Grade 10. I first developed my theory about propaganda at 19. I had a long career as a journalist, writer, author, artist, and now game designer, but I took computer programming classes in my youth, too.

But this is not the first time elites wanted to go back to the horse and buggy when there was the option of the hovercraft.

RTO orders are a classic example: if people can work remotely, then why send them back to the office when that’s less efficient: simple: it’s harder to manipulate employees when they are home with their support system. It’s harder to have office affairs, abuse, or sexually harass underlings unless you trap them on your turf.

And AI? Well, people want to run back to their caves instead of exploring spaceships.

Technophobes don’t like the freedom technology brings. They want people chained to their old, outdated game boards and rules.

The Australian regime is not saying, “We are protecting our children.”

They are saying, “We are a nation incapable or unwilling to teach digital literacy to our children.”

And the Australian regime know they are in the wrong: that’s why they want to be a “domino”: if they try to manipulate and bully other nations into censoring, isolating and confining their children, there will be no control group to compare outcomes and see the actual damage of their policy.

The problem is not everyone wants to be caged. They know their worth and won’t fall for those tricks in the first place.
