The Dissident Dad – Raising Independent Minded Children in America is Tough

Screen Shot 2015-04-22 at 1.35.14 PM

No joke, trying to raise an independent-minded, decent human being in America is like trying to fly through a Category 5 hurricane.

For starters, nothing beats some of the toys offered up to kids. For example, you can hone your child’s remote killing skills by buying him or her a military drone toy. Not only can you kill women and children in their homes, but you can do so without actually having to deploy overseas!

Teach your kids this valuable skill via the, Maisto Fresh Metal Tailwinds 1:97 Scale Die Cast United States Military Aircraft – US Air Force Medium Altitude, Long Endurance, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) RQ-1 Predator with Display Stand, available at Amazon:

At least toying around with unmanned drones is safer to than playing at public parks. In case you missed it, a 12-year-old boy was recently killed by the local militarized police in Cleveland for just holding a toy gun at a park. Sorry, I just can’t get this story out of my head. While shooting a child within 2 seconds of arriving at the scene was criminal enough, to just stand around and not offer up any first aid was unimaginably evil.

All that said, it’s my opinion that the most dangerous place for a young child is often America’s taxpayer-funded schools. These places are frequently characterized by an endless flow of bullshit my kids hopefully won’t ever have to go through. Just the other day, an 11-year-old Kansas child was taken away from his mother after challenging an anti-drug propaganda program at his school.

Finally, there are tremendous challenges to be faced at the home front. I’ve said this in many posts before, but choosing to raise your children to be independent thinkers who don’t automatically want to control others by force, can sometimes lead to tension with family and friends, especially older ones. I find most of them to be just innocent victims who happily reside within the matrix, merely repeating thoughts they were subliminally conditioned to believe.

Thoughts like nationalism, the offensive use of violence, and the belief in all sorts of official coercion justified as serving the greater good. As such, I’ve encouraged my children to always question authority and its true motives, even if others in the family naively believe the government, police, and the banks have your best interests at heart. However, at the end of the day, they will be allowed to come to their own conclusions.

With outright propaganda, like “war is good for the economy” and other similarly offensive ideas, I’ve become more bold as a father, with a new willingness to stand up to these bad ideas, no matter who the person espousing them happens to be. The coporate-statist propaganda is everywhere, so I continue to enthusiastically attempt offer up an alternative by example, as best as I imperfectly can.

  1. Very true. The Tavistock Institute has successfully weaponized today’s society to turn our children into sheeple…

  2. The hardest thing I have had trouble with, is convincing my (homeschooled) son how strong self interest is, how venal people can be, and how little natural commitment to truth they have. For example, he just can’t wrap his mind around the notion that global warming could all be fake, driven entirely by self interest rather than actual reliable data.

    I think it takes experience for that message to sink in. One finally gets it after a lifetime of observation.

    At least he has not wasted his young life in a government school, learning bullshit.

      Last year, climate scientists were forced to admit that computer models of predicted temperature increases calculated in 2007 were off by 75%. Since October 1996 there has been no global warming at all (Fig. 1). This month’s RSS [1] temperature plot pushes up the period without any global warming from 18 years 2 months to 18 years 3 months.

      Figure 1. The least-squares linear-regression trend on the RSS satellite monthly global mean surface temperature anomaly dataset shows no global warming for 18 years 3 months since October 1996.

      The hiatus period of 18 years 3 months, or 219 months, is the farthest back one can go in the RSS satellite temperature record and still show a sub-zero trend.

      As agenda-driven climate scientists continue to blame every weather pattern on man-made global warming for political purposes, the real climate threat is likely to emerge out of the fact that sunspot activity is at its lowest for 100 years, which researchers warn will lead to plunging temperatures and the onset of a new mini ice age.

  3. I would like to say that this is not something I have experienced whatsoever.

    The public education system is not necessarily a propaganda machine. In fact, teachers in my school (I am still a hight schooler) try very earnestly to stimulate independent, complex thought.

    All I have seen in response to these efforts is absolute indifference, insolence, and disrespect towards any attempt to spark discussion and deliberation.

    I do not know if my case is unique. What I do know is that there is some serious moral degredation occuring in our society today, in every aspect.

  4. The whole intent of “public education”, going back to Horace Mann, is captured in Charlotte Iserbyt’s epic “The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America” – now a free download on her site. Even a cursory reading would convince a concerned parent to do whatever possible to remove his child from the “government training camp” as soon as humanly possible at whatever sacrifice necessary.
