They made me do it in the USA when i was in elementary school (about 60 years ago). When i objected i was yelled at, thrown out of class and publicly shamed.
Elementary school use to be really brutal, with physical punishment and daily assault by classmates. But it does toughen you up. You young guys have just gone soft because you weren’t beaten on a daily basis.

FTFY
Older generations love to talk about how hard they were because they were beaten, mistreated, and given brain damage but were too cowardly to standup against it, and can’t stand that the younger generations have the spine to tell you to go back to your home and wait for your children to never visit you.
I’m probably younger than you. Had a severely fucked up childhood. I can say I’m not afraid of much because I was locked in a dark unfinished basement for multiple days well my mom had “friends” over.
Do I want to do that to my kids? Fuck no. Sure it would be easier to scare the shit out of them until you’re so scared and hopeless you just give up those feelings. But there are gradual and healthier ways to deal with a child’s fear of the unknown that don’t make them unable to connect with other people on an emotional level.
I have many more examples, but the point is I have been abused and left to take care of myself. It did build independence. But I also spent most of my life even into adulthood trying to destroy myself and everything around me because I took that darkness in. I can recognize the cost was not worth it.
Everything i said I experienced in this thread is true.
I deal with it by using dark sarcastic humor, just like in this thread.
But no, i am not advocating torturing children.
On the other hand, the current generation is so sensitive, and so fragile. i don’t think 30 years of helicopter mom’s created people capable of dealing with the brutality of adulthood.
So they just withdraw into addiction, drug, gaming, alcohol…. what ever. I don’t have a solution, but i don’t think the fragile hyper sensitive political correctness is the solution either.
Can’t take the younger generations calling yours out for being too weak to stand up to the bullshit that beat you down while they fight against it to be who they really are.

Physical abuse of children isn’t the answer.
I wish everyone agreed.
Don’t knock it till you tried it.
PTSD has made me the man i am today.
Your downvoters are still in denial
Yeah let’s beat those children into being stronger.
If they ain’t cryin’, they ain’t learnin’
/s
Not a shitpost, a political meme
I’m not treating it like a shitpost.
Advocating for physical punishment of children is advocating for abuse.
No one here is
Ah but the younger generations are just so weak and sensitive, right? They need a beating, right? Makes them stronger, yeah?

I see a generation that was handed a shitty position to start from and they are still here, still pushing, still existing. Still demanding better.
Punching down on the generations that are younger than yours is a tired trope.
Like i said. Overly sensitive.
You sure are.

Overly callous.
As if you’re the only old person here.
Really!!! So you get daily flashbacks from your childhood too?
I’m with you, guy…
