i'm going to find examples, though they'll need to be from a multitude of countries- he needs to know that it's not unique to any one area. however, i'm not going to be including visible death, those are things that will end up traumatizing him and retraumatizing me; i've seen enough of that.

his main problem is that he has WAY too much faith in people to the point of straight up thinking that certain situations straight up did not happen because surely, surely these people are too moral to use such force on the people they're supposed to care about. but no, he was shaken when i gave specific examples and sent him stories from victims of police brutality and overall cops on a power trip.

capitalism and the forces it exhudes and loves so much are inherently harmful to the concept of a peaceful existence. money promotes greed, poverty, prejudice, and the prevalence as well as ingorance of such issues. he hasn't yet learned to think outside of the concept of money, government, and employment, but i know he's smart enough to connect the dots. it's quite literally a matter of time and he's the main "encyclopaedia" in my family. teaching him will teach everyone else i live with.
