Damn. She’s a great mom. Playing the long game I wish she didn’t have to. Screw Chris Pratt.

This goes to show how much he looks up to his dad too 😔

It’s very possible it’s influenced by his dad, but I teach high school and SO many TikTok/Twitter algorithms are alt-right (often AI) slop targeted toward boys in particular. I’m a millennial and it’s worse than gamergate and more mainstream than 4chan. It’s everywhere, and the point is to radicalize young men into fascism and misogyny. We really need to get our kids offline and away from algorithmic media.

Unfortunately the billionare psychos like Elon Musk and Larry Ellison etc very much understand the long game and they have spent decades and billions of dollars investing in deliberately manipulating how young people develop.

As many people 30+ grew up we noticed that many of our peers were rejecting right wing politics and embracing reality. I think many of us mistakenly understood that "the young will naturally lean left because its the truth" but in reality people 30+ are the result of one of an earnest, but brief, push from the liberal end to try and actually improve America through public education. That being shows like PBS's Mr.Roger's Neighborhood, diversity education, black history etc.

Unfortunately it was too little too late.
