with other groups, even if you grant the assumption that these electeds want to do something about them, they can actually push back in various ways, some more than others. kids, of course, can't even vote on what's being done 'for' them here. no vote, no money, punishing them costs nothing.

goes far beyond the internet too, it's all the things that lead to here. everything in response to school shootings that was ultimately just stuffing schools with cops who can and do brutalize and exploit the kids. or gang panic and loitering laws that cracked down on youth public existence.

whatever ill is afflicting kids, none of the actions are taken to affect *adults*, especially powerful ones, and what they do with kids, because they can push back on it, they can do something about it. it's always targeted at limiting what the *kids* can do, because they have no influence here.
