And this causes children to be perceived as failures (either by themselves, their parents and/or society at large) when they are not successful according to the logic of capital. It's one of many ways capitalism has commodified our relationships.

Engels expressed the general idea of this in "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State"

Kittens teach us, from Engels onward, why we are punished with contempt at home instead of being supported, when in late capitalism we are condemned to have a lower standard of living and less security than our parents.

"hes keeping stuff from us!" hes born to be a tutorial companion who gives you information when you need it he literally doesnt know what he should tell you because he knows so much. also imagine training someone at work and just sitting them down and saying every single thing you know like they arent gonna retain that

"bro why is he being so mean at the end of chapter 2 we didnt know about the roaring" IT WAS THE FIRST THING HE FUCKING TELLS YOU!!! HE LITERALLY TELLS YOU IF THE BALANCE IS SHIFTED THE EARTH WILL FALL APART.

"what the hell is wrong with him he told susie not to heal kris!!" POP QUIZ: IF YOU WERE HAVING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL DO IT, OR SOMEONE WHO LEARNED HOW TO APPLY A BANDAGE YESTERDAY? THIS ISNT THE TIME TO BE PRACTICING!!!

"he words everything so weirdly/hes annoying" HES A TEENAGER THATS NEVER TALKED TO PEOPLE BEFORE. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WORSE ANYONE ELSE WOULD BE

no matter how you examine a bar of chocolate, there's no indication of the exploitation that went into creating it — not an atom that screams "I came into being through slavery!" and yet, the social relations of slavery and unequal exchange are facts of its existence. in the capitalist world, we're presented with an endless series of commodities, while the social relationships behind their production and distribution are hidden from us. when people understand the misery that others are forced into in order to shave $0.5 off the production costs of every t-shirt, sofa, or TV they purchase, they often feel rage at the capitalist system. that's why we must continually expose such things. don't let them be hidden from view

America's anti communist efforts managed to capture their internal leftist movements in a bubble that they willingly remain in because they see their pro western conditioned views as "real leftism" while going outside of the bubble is "tankie". Never developing into a real threat to american power internally. It's so effective that it's a narrative control that is self operating, creating it's own reactionary response to anything that coincides with what american empire is also against. The anarchist in the USA would sooner burn the work of lenin than allow a liberal to read it all while congratulating themselves for disposing fascist literature. Perfectly docile.

I really don't know how to go about fixing this mindset of no nuance, no modern analysis of our material surroundings, just fear mongering about events from a century ago and how it is destined to happen again no matter what.

I think what makes 12 Angry Men so amazing is that it strongly argues caution WITHIN uncertainty and to question "immutable" facts. Davis (and the movie) NEVER says for sure the kid is guilty or not guilty - there's no way to tell either way. He only puts together the first inconsistency (the El train being too loud for the old man to hear the boy yelling) due to debate and conversation. When the jury actually starts questioning the seemingly open-and-shut case, it's only by putting everything they noticed together, by the process of careful consideration with 12 different people sharing their observations and thoughts, that they notice the holes. The complete reversal of the verdict happens not because Davis thinks the kid must be not guilty and argues as such but because he places importance on taking a person's life. That such an important decision can not be made in 5 minutes, no matter how sure one may be. You have to talk about it. You have to consider it. You have to question it.
