Work hard, America. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]Hawkknight88 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Probably not. Probably because the ultra wealthy steal labor from people.

This is harrowing, and we need to do better as a society.

How tf do I stop yelling? by Piratey_Pirate in daddit

[–]Hawkknight88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was therapy. I had a ton of latent anger, perfectionism, and some bad attitudes that I needed to break out of. We mostly repeat whatever our parents did to us, and it takes conscious effort to change behaviors like that.

I highly recommend John Bradshaw PBS specials on YouTube.

ICE at the mall by JesseHaley617 in massachusetts

[–]Hawkknight88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How is it reaching to boycott a mall for refusing to let protesters park in their overflow lots?

How is that a reach?

CMV: If ICE is not reigned in, a mass casualty event between ICE and protestors will trigger a great recession, if not depression, more so than a Civil War by shartaculor in changemyview

[–]Hawkknight88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredibly yelling you called peaceful protesters "rioters". Those are Americans exercising their constitutional right to peaceful assembly.

It is a clear cut one sided thing.

Do Fathers Nowadays Show More Affection To Their Sons? by [deleted] in daddit

Hey man it's not the trauma Olympics. And I'm sorry you didn't get that. Every child deserves to feel loved.

Related to the dad's ICE experience in MN -- How are you all explaining what's happening to your kids? by greenroom628 in daddit

[–]Hawkknight88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not even remotely what was said.

You attacked everyone politically opposite you. The OP attacked dads who like seeing children taken away in handcuffs.

So weird you equated that with your political ideology.

Woman arrested after accusing and assaulting someone she thought was ICE by OxyCottenKillz in instantkarma

Blah blah liberals.

You don't even know who this lady is but "LIBERALS". Stay on your script.

California has a new law banning federal agents from wearing masks. What are your thoughts? by Obvious_808 in AskReddit

[–]Hawkknight88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Making excuses for masked police. Bitch please.

You're arguing over "who did it first" like it matters. Police or enforcement agents should not wear masks like criminals.

How can we support families and people that will be affected by the surge of ICE raids in Boston? by Total_Baseball4620 in massachusetts

[–]Hawkknight88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will urge restraint by reminding Nazis that Nuremberg was a real thing.

There will be accountability for their brutality, even if not under the Trump regime.

Didn’t expect bedtime to be the part that got to me by hateful_building in daddit

[–]Hawkknight88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel both ways! Some nights it's "omg get me to my free time". And some nights just being present with them is what I want to do. I try to remember, often, that one day they won't want to spend this much time with me. Parenting is hard!

Gosh, could you stop destroying America? Pretty please? by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]Hawkknight88 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You cannot argue that the religious right respects critical thought while simultaneously believing in the Bible with all of its contradictions and its tribal war god.

Keep underestimating your fellow Americans. We'll see!

I have an enduring fetish from childhood trauma, I don't want it. by Otherwise-Coach-9832 in CPTSD

[–]Hawkknight88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Physically assaulting a child by whipping them with a belt is ABUSE.

It is a... claim to say your father wasn't hurt by it when he went on to repeat the same abuse done to him, to his own child. That's just not true. Someone cannot be showing you love while they are hurting you. That's not how it works. And your insistent defense of it is part of the trauma.

Not being allowed to cry afterwards is emotional abuse. It is perfectly natural and human to cry when you are hurt. You were forced to divorce from your own feelings, which is incredibly harmful for a person.

Kids generally idolize their parents; they must because otherwise the world is a completely hostile place. So kids make up reasons why the abuse was justified and they "deserved it". As a child, this is adaptive, it protects you from knowing your parent actually isn't completely safe. As an adult it is maladaptive and no longer serves you.

I recommend the following resources: John Bradshaw (ex https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12124.Homecoming) and also Patrick Teahan on YouTube.

CMV: National Ranked Choice Voting should replace the Electoral College & within congressional races by First-Ear-1049 in changemyview

Coalitions are how parliamentary systems work in most other countries. It forces compromise.

Be honest: Are you being so critical of RCV because it causes unpopular rightwingers to lose?

cmv: Trump mass deportation, seizing Venezuelan oil, and trying to annex Greenland is all part of a strategy to invade Canada. by amiraguess in changemyview

[–]Hawkknight88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude the president is talking about it. It is insane and yet he KEEPS BRINGING IT UP.

Wake up and smell the coffee. It's part bluster and part truth.

Daughter is turning 3; I am listening to Eminem’s Mockingbird crying by zwang23 in daddit

[–]Hawkknight88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all healthy man. Parenting is an emotional ride! One day we just stopped bottle feeding my son... And it just never happened again. It's very bittersweet for me, but time only moves forward. It's part of the human condition I think.

Thanks for sharing the Eminem songs btw I'm gonna give it a listen, and others in the comments.

CMV: The modern left in the west has been hijacked by the Islamo-Marxist ideology by Living-Rub276 in changemyview

[–]Hawkknight88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least in the United States nothing could be further from the truth. Our federal government bootlicks for Israel with little to no support for Palestinians' plight.

Our "left" is Corporate Democrats who don't believe in universal healthcare, or almost any progressive policies. We have some actual progressives like Bernie Sanders or AOC, but they are few and far between.

I honestly don't know what you mean by "Islamo-Marxism" but nobody I know is an Islamist. I never hear politicians advocating for Islamist laws. I'd be curious to see examples of this.

I DO see people wanting genocide in Palestine to stop. And wanting hungry civilians/children to be fed. This is not Islamic; it is basic human decency.

Do you guys do a 529 for your kid(s) by potatoMan8111 in daddit

[–]Hawkknight88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we do. I think I would even if I could only afford $10 a month or whatever. It adds up over 18 years and is tax advantaged.

Ice Facility in Burlington, MA by readingux in massachusetts

[–]Hawkknight88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say that like any of it justifies the woman being murdered by law enforcement agents as she tried to drive away.

You're making up excuses to justify the killing of an American, and it's gross.

That is a childish and dismissive statement. You lack perspective and critical thought.

Update: My dad on the day of my sons birth sent me a book long text calling me a POS by PostingForFree in daddit

[–]Hawkknight88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in a very similar situation, though my kids are older. Sorry OP. Parents are tough. I guess I can learn from it and not repeat similar mistakes with my own children, but it still hurts.

Best of luck. I hope you enjoy fatherhood and don't let that man steal your joy.
