We are raising three daughters and a son. Fortunately they've been in one form or another of homeschool or private tutoring for most their lives, so have not been subjected to the government thought conditioning Public Schools much so far.
Although I share my anarchist ideas with them and as a business owner give them many different examples of creating wealth as opposed to taking it, I am a bit concerned that as they attend college the years they spend surrounded by professors and other students will condition them to believe in the state.
Nevertheless, they're sensible and independent kids So eventually they'll figure out what works best.
I enjoyed the story of you talking with your dad about what you believe. It can be difficult to do that because a lifetime of emotions can surge up at the oddest times during those conversations.
Same @blockops as from zencash? I am awed. @careywedler you draw a classy crowd
Talk about a difficult topic to discuss with parents! I give your dad credit for asking you about it. Most parnets will sit there watching their kids do stuff and never even ask about it. This says a lot about your dad. Also, I give you credit for having the conversation with him. It's kinda like the birds and the bees. Can be uncomfortable for both sides. I appreciate your post and congrats to you for the breakthrough!
Thank you! It was so exciting haha. :)
I agree
BUT
too many words

(zero aggression principle)
there...fixed it for you.
That is SO awesome! I love it. Good job! :-)
Thank you! I was so excited haha. I'm going to keep working on him. :)
What a beautiful post
Nice
Love that picture of you and your Dad.
Great find @careywedler thanks to your comment @matildapurse. =)
i totally relate and feel you on this topic - my parents are hardcore conservatives from Ohio as well! small world! i grew up there but left a long time ago and now lean more liberally. seeing eye to eye is hard sometimes, but there are small moments of glory like this :)
Congrats for convincing your dad @careywedler, and for understanding that anarchy is preferable to living under the subjective reality of those in charge of the state.
I recently managed to do the same for my mother, after about 6 months exposure to the content I was writing. My father is a bit more faithful in the legitimacy of government, and a lot less open to the idea that we should all be completely free to face life, and the consequences of our actions. But, if you managed to get away from the madness and saw the light, and also managed to make your father do the same, then there may be hope yet.
