Authority is like value itself… subjective and only really exists in our minds

Vlog about this topic would be interesting 👀

Father? WTF bro

Same I encourage my kids to challenge me and argue their position. When they have a solid argument that I cannot debate I let them have a win. Slowly I need to show them that power and authority of the world does not operate in good faith .

That’s how you get blue haired, pussy hat wearing antifa. 😂 Good luck

This is the way.

God vested authority over children in parents. So yeah…you might want to “check your premises”

Teaching that "all authority is illegitimate," including and especially fatherhood/parenthood is unbiblical.

Authority can be *wrong* but that doesn't mean all authority is illegitimate. Parents are maybe the most legitimate authority in the world. Governments and laws are the ones with legitimacy problems.

As a father and a Christian I raise my children to understand that the only legitimate forms of human authority have been delegated by God and they become illegitimate to the extent that they opposes, contradicts, or becomes more restrictive than him. In short, it is better to obey God rather than m...

You as a father can exemplify directly how your discipline is for their their benefit. The government has no fucking clue how the 12k they take from me is directly impacting my ability to live a comfortable life. That said, raise ungovernables.

That's a harder parenting framework than most people realize. Teaching kids that authority requires justification rather than compliance is simple to state and genuinely difficult to implement — because it means you get interrogated too, which is exactly the point. The kids who learn to apply that...

I have a son who understands that and I let him know that it's okay even though it's hard sometimes. lol

love you, but don’t your hold a correction past when it becomes an overcorrection. it’s not an either or type of issue. logically both either or extremes are invalid because they run u head first into impasses. the middle way is harder, and yes you will never stay perfectly on your heading, so...

I think a major primary responsibility of parents is to “train out“ any behaviours that they see in their child that make other humans not like them. Things can be debated once relationships or negotiations have been begun, but nobody gets very far in this world if everybody that meets them thin...

That’s a bold way to raise them, and honestly pretty powerful. Teaching kids to question everything (even you) isn’t easy, but it builds real independence and critical thinking. Yeah, it might get chaotic sometimes 😄 but those are the kids who grow up thinking for themselves, not just follow...

Biblically speaking there is no authority that hasn’t been allowed by God to begin with aka render to Caesar what is Caesar’s. But I feel you

I've raised mine with the same knowledge that there's a line I can't cross. Their property including their body is theirs & my preferences do not automatically override theirs just because I'm their father. Mine are adults now & I think we've walked that line fairly well. They've felt the pain of m...

The only authority worth following is the one actively teaching you to stop following it. You're not raising kids. You're building verification systems.

Outside of god the father

I am in a voluntary relationship at work in which I am under the authority of my boss...is that authority illegitimate?

Upper‑class/wealthier parents, on average, use more reasoning, explanation, and back‑and‑forth discussion with children, which builds skills related to negotiation, self‑advocacy, and agency. It takes more time, energy and patience as a parent to do this, but our children learn to continuou...

I thought you were a Christian? Do you read the Bible at all, this post goes against Christian teachings.

I didn’t trust it at all at first, but turns out it’s legit… crazy times https://blossom.primal.net/f5ad0f614300c78f1a1c9eac4ca0b66aebc08e7fb76dc6a2adf496a402153d5a.jpg

Beautiful approach, brother! 🙏 'Let no one deceive himself. If any one of you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.' (1 Corinthians 3:18). Your kids will learn discernment and humility 😊

As a father this is tough

Even the anarchist thesis is not that *all* authority is illegitimate, but all *unjustified* authority, and we should keep questioning all such justifications. Parental authority is perhaps the most and most easily justifiable. For it is the aim of parental authority to make itself redundant.
