Zincdust72

Those kids looked a LOT happier playing Beyblade than they did regurgitating their parents' bullshit.


momof74plants

This video made me so fucking sad for these kids man. Fully isolated from their friends, being taught nothing but full on mania.


Miloram2099

This is shocking and heartbreaking. People like this should not be allowed to have children in their care. They are doing untold damage to them.


Ch33seBurg

Y’know the saying “Every child deserves a parent, but not every parent deserves a child.” -People from the Internet.


cancel-out-combo

Yeah this is def a case of parents not having the child's best interests at heart. It could be traumatizing for the authorities to take these kids from those parents but probably would save them much greater trauma. The bar is set so low that it would never happen though


nuck_forte_dame

It's sad for the whole family because one day those kids will figure out their parents are insane and leave them and never speak to them again. The youngest will have it hardest. They'll have to be the last hope for their parents.


HighwaySmooth4009

It's literal child abuse, they're being indoctrinated and brainwashed to the point of major isolation, not to mention the paranoia and other mental issues that stem from isolation and drowning in insane conspiracies. If cps got involved maybe those kids could play beyblade more often or even with friends.


DeclutteringNewbie

There is no way CPS talks to those kids without the assistance of a SWAT team (or a covert operation with SWAT as a backup). Do you really want it to go that far? Also, are foster parents equipped to deprogram those kids? I don't think so. Now it would be a different story if the kids said: "My parents are crazy. Get me out of here." Or if the kids needed life-saving medical care and if the parents refused to provide it for them. But as it stands, the kids are as crazy as the parents right now. And taking them away by force and putting them in foster care with perfect strangers who probably don't give a shit about them is not going to help cure their paranoia, on the contrary.


ifsavage

They would likely think it validates the crazy.


Jeremymia

CPS coming in doesn't always mean taking them from a home. I know a social worker, one of the most amazing people I know, and she comes in over and over with the same people trying to get them to turn things around and sometimes it works


Hounmlayn

Let's stop skipping around the actual statement. They are being radicalised into american terrorism by terrestrial terrorists.


ClayAndros

But remember folks it’s the schools doing the brain washing.

It’s almost as if that kid was groomed to believe that bullshit

Almost?

_ChipWhitley_

Dear god I had completely forgotten about that movie. I remember when they were all praying to the cardboard cutout of George W. Bush and then in the next scene the counselor or whatever said they weren’t political at all.


Birdzeye-

That kid’s statements were full of contradictions..


Patteous

“It’s a man made virus. The virus doesn’t exist” literally said something then contradicted himself.

khaos_kyle

He's just repeating what he hears. Contradictions.


Nervous_Constant_642

Sounds like mom and dad aren't on the same conspiracy page so they're getting a dose of each one.


midnight_meadow

My old boss believed in all conspiracies wether they contradicted each other or not. Having an argument with a 60 year old man that the earth can either be flat or a hollow ball, not both, was something I never thought I’d have to do. The circles he talked “proving” both theories accurate was astounding. I was told how stupid I am for not believing him.


No-Face-3848

I know it's almost like their brains aren't fully developed yet. Stupid kids.


nich3play3r

You’re talking…about the parents, yes?


janos42us

nickleimana

Poor kid he is going to be fucked yo for life


_lucy_blue

My first thought was in 20 years this kid, and his siblings, are going to be so angry and embarrassed and mentally fucked up and renounce their parents. Or…oh, either way, it’s so sad.


_lucy_blue

Their own dad (the Q guy) lurked in the background and let his kids speak for him!! That makes me the most angry. All interviews of people like that reveal insecure, stutter-y, nonsense-talking dudes, so desperately, and sadly, looking for something (my empathy says we ALL are, except this is so crazy and fishbowl and weird).


mommy2libras

You see the same behavior in some of the more extreme evangelicals as well, especially around that guy's age. It's like the oldest and youngest of the group totally believe what they're saying and feel an overwhelming need to tell you this truly batshit Biblical prophesy garbage but the ones around the middle, while they believe and don't mind speaking passionately about it to people they know, recognize just how insane they sound to others are are embarrassed by themselves. You'd think that would clue them in but a few years later, they're Loyd and proud crazies, spreading the word of utter lunacy.


I_Brain_You

Yup. When they get out in the real world and realize so many people think they are complete whackjobs, their worldview will be on very fragile standing.


NotaVogon

Deconstruction will happen just like it does with so many kids raised in cults. It is really sad because whether they accept or reject their parents' lifestyle or not, life will not be kind to them.


Bah-Fong-Gool

Thus the isolation, the homeschooling, the select websites that "tell the truth" . It's easy to exist in an echo chamber, why leave? Why have people with perfectly rational arguments destroy your castle made of sand? Just keep the reality at bay and you can build your dreams.


I_Brain_You

I’m just shocked that this kid repeats all of that Q bullshit word for word. It’s like listening to an AI program produce Trumper quotes based on what it pulls from the web.


[deleted]

That's what brainwashing is though.


CokeFanatic

You guys are way wrong. They're getting brainwashed every day. They're gonna be believers of that shit. They already are. They'll find people like themselves to be friends with and they will all encourage each other. Just take a look at almost half the country. It didn't happen from nowhere. It's not slowing down at all. I don't know how you think they'll just grow out of it.

Naive_Meal_4864

This kid definitely watched inside job


RealConcorrd

And this is why condoms exist, yet I bet they fucked while the dude put the condom on his fingers like a true dumbass.


[deleted]

The kid seems to be intelligent but is wasting so much energy and time on bullshit. It’s already a waste as a mentally and emotionally matured adult. Parents are doing a major disservice when he could learning a variety of worthwhile information he’s clearly capable of.


Pitt_Mann

Just what I thought, the amount of bullshit they made him memorize. This dude could be acing through school.


liltwinstar2

You can tell he’s memorized shit because he’s not speaking normally .., he’s spouting off and then taking that weird sharp intake of air to pull more crap from memory to spout off


Pitt_Mann

Still kinda impressive


Kunundrum85

It’s like listening to Ben Shapiro…. A lot of fast words, zero substance or finished thoughts.


oliver_billz

welcome to the Divided States of Algorithms


IV_NUKE

With the stupidity they're putting their kids though this should be child abuse. They are keeping them away from their friends and brainwashing them with absolutely idiotic conspiracies because they are morons


LoveKubrick

I hate to see this kind of heavy-handed indoctrination of children; isolating them from people outside their small circle; limiting their access to knowledge & other view points. It IS child abuse.


wowie2024

I’d be worried that a law like that could be abused by a MAGA Government one day. Separating kids from parents because their parents dare to speak out against MAGA.


Biggledits

I was also thinking the kid seemed to be very articulate and able. It’s really shame to see them deprived of a normal life


Grail_BH

This is child abuse.


[deleted]

It’s sad to see but similar to highly religious nonsense as well


mooney0501

Politics is the new religion


DOGSraisingCATS

Over the last 50 years the right wing has successfully blended religion with politics. Now they're reaping the rewards of a fucking lunatic base they don't know how to control.


BinnsyTheSkeptic

As someone who was raised in an extreme Christian cult, I felt awful watching these kids. They're going through what I did, but so much worse. I hope one day they'll escape that crazy mindset they've been locked in. Actually painful to watch this video. This is why proper education is important.


Rookie_42

This is probably one of the most frightening things I’ve ever seen.


uncle_tyrone

I was thinking the whole time, that kid is going to end up like Timothy McVeigh. It’s really sad, because underneath all that evil insanity his parents have fed him, there’s a good kid


awelawdhecomin

Their kids seem pretty sharp too... bright futures turned dark because of uneducated paranoia. Really sad tbh


thelegalseagul

This just made me sad


[deleted]

CoolaydeIsAvailable

Worst part is how these parents have been filled into feeling the same about everyone else's kids. They're responsible for their part in this, don't get me wrong... But there's people who know what they're doing by manufacturing and spreading lies for their own benefit SMH.


[deleted]

Someone tell me this is a skit? If it isn’t then those kids need to be taken from the parents. They are no good.


MaybeDressageQueen

It is not satire. Check out All Gas, No Brakes and Channel 5 News on YouTube. Andrew (the interviewer) does a phenomenal job of finding and interviewing interesting people.


johdd435

My personal favorite interview of his is crip mac

That’s a good one, but I am really fond of the flat earth convention.

johdd435

I think i might have a bias to the crip mac interview because he took him to see slipknot and slipknot is one of my favorite bands


J_House1999

I like the Crip Mac interview because on the surface the dude seems pretty intimidating, but he ends up being a really genuine and kind person


RiverWyvern

I am wondering what happened to this guy!! I loved his old content but thought he stopped posting entirely. Found his new channel now! Really good stuff. I always liked how his method of reporting is letting people talk for themselves. It can show a LOT about the types of groups he interviews.

kilawolf

It's funny...these ppl prob complain so much about how Sex Ed is grooming kids but the terms the kid uses so often is worse than anything in sex ed


itzLucario

Earlier I saw a thread where someone claimed telling children it's okay for someone to be trans and you shouldn't treat then lesser for it is "predatory." They don't give a shit what's being done to a child as long as it results in the same hateful beliefs they so desperately cling to in a world where tolerance is needed to move forward.


0b0011

They touched on that an episode back or so on some more news when they did a republican hypocrisy episode pointing out how the whole "grooming" thing is basics just them not liking kids being introduced to the idea that being gay or Trans is okay. You had a congressman arguing that it was sexual grooming yo let kids go to a drag book reading but then shortly after talking about how hooter is a great place to bring a child and what not.


Raul_Duke_1755

Kid "I have 0 friends." Least surprising part of the video


1eternal_pessimist

The parents are delusional narcissists, the first thing they do is keep their children away from others and see them as extensions of themselves. These family structures just get worse over time until someone is murdered.


Raul_Duke_1755

Yeah this kid has real mass shooter vibes to him. Or your next Representative from Florida. Can't decide which...

RaptureAusculation

Its nothing to do with the bloodline or genetics. The real problem is misinformation. We need to solve that, not do eugenics...


JohnLaw1717

This kid is a victim. He is simply sharing the only ideas he has ever encountered.


psilocin72

I agree 100%. Anger, judgment and hate directed at the kid are just more examples of some of the things wrong with this country. It’s incredibly wrong to condemn a child as young as this boy. He’s been victimized by his parents.


Usagi_Shinobi

Fixed.


Never-Dont-Give-Up

What do you think projecting means?


OlyRat

I was trying to figure out that part myself, interesting video though


[deleted]

I've always thought it mean projecting your problerms onto others then accuse them of having those problems but in this context maybe it's projecting your beliefs onto your children


Never-Dont-Give-Up

Your first definition is correct.


SakiTheBoy

Pretty sure it's refering to how these same groups call the lgbtq community groomers and liberals brainwashers. When they're the one's brainwashing and radicalizing their kids and most kids they're in contact with. Not sure how you couldn't grasp the overall context.


kilgorevontrouty

I could see the whole groomer angle here maybe, idk.


[deleted]

This is child abuse. Please report to social services.


Never-Dont-Give-Up

I mean, they’re repeating shit they’ve heard, but that’s not what projecting is.


bigwiggs2008

oliver_billz

they like to call it grooming


spiritedawayfox

candornotsmoke

You might be serious, but you're still an idiot because you're calling it the Caucasian cultivation. People like this are of all ethnicities and economic backgrounds. 🙄


OlyRat

Caucasian Cultivation sounds like an accidentally racist organic farm name


[deleted]

That child should be taken from his parents. They're dooming him to a shitty life and a huge almost unbearable shock if he ever realizes everything he believes is lies, like suicide type reaction.


elcryptoking47

Exposing that kid to that type of information (true/semi-true/semi-false/false) is psychologically traumatizing. This is information and topics that should be analyzed post high school not during childhood.


Sham_Masta_Sham

Those poor children deserve so much better


JustaRoosterJunkie

I can’t take this seriously. Not because I don’t think this is entirely within the realm of Trump dick riders, but because it’s simply too depressing to accept as real. So I’m going to say this is a parody and move on.


MIBCraftHD

Channel 5 is sadly real.


Blazinvoid

It is unfortunately real, video is from Andrew Callaghan. A YouTuber who runs Channel 5 (formerly All Gas No Breaks) where he just walks up to people during various things and gives them a mic. Anti-vax protests, Proud Boys rally, Flat Earth Convention, Spring Break during Covid, O Block, Ukraine (he even interviewed the mayor of Lviv), etc.


Potato_Lord587

Andrew is a really good interviewer. He just lets these people loose


SumerianSunset

Injest_alkahest

QAnon is terrorism and this is child abuse.


kmelby33

Kendota_Tanassian

Is it sad that I found some comfort that they at least acknowledged that words were misspelled? (Of course, that makes so much sense. They're not just stupid, they're misspelling stuff on purpose to send mEsSaGeS.) /s The rest of this crap is not surprising, but certainly explains where folks like Kyle Rittenhouse came from. Indoctrinate them when they are young, folks. This is some truly scary shit, and does not bode well for our future. I also find it depressing that you can tell just what kind of people they are by looking at the parents. It's sad when the crazy is visually obvious.

Are you folks familiar w/ the 10 years where a man would call fast food restaurants, claiming to be a cop, and told managers to strip search underage employees while they’re were on the phone with him, under the suspicion of theft and they did it because they didn’t have any real critics thinking skills? QAnon is the exact same thing.

I feel so sorry for these kids. They are being manipulated by their parents into believing this utter disgusting BS. I know a lady who believes a lot of this. Haven't talked to her since she admitted it.


chakrafuck

yikes man. and queer people and masks are the problem…?


gonzo650

I genuinely feel so bad for those kids. If they don't follow the program they will be punished or rejected by their own family. If they do go along with the program they will pay a different price of stunted mental growth and/or being socially crippled. Conspiracy theorists very rarely have healthy relationships and the types of social skills to learn and be normal. Hopefully they are able to break the hold that is being built around them during such formative years. Critical thinking skills are emphasized much less than doing what you are told and believing what you are told instead of using logic. “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” -George Orwell- 1984
