It's a pretty straightforward take—parents have absolute power over their children and having absolute power over another human being is a priori oppressive. It's not even hot unless you think this would be the ideal model of existence even if there could be any other way.

Yeah it's one of those silicon valley "professional clever person" takes where they're like "we should aggregate knowledge in a free at point of access location" and people are like "yes. You're describing libraries." He's saying "water is wet" in the form of a hot take.

you are the one projecting this as a “hot take” while seemingly having bo idea what the “hot” in “hot take” means this is a thought-out position, not an off the cuff reactionary post and if it was as acknowledged as “water is wet” then why the hell are so many people arguing?

Replying to @juxtapositionT
"Parents have power over children" is obvious to anyone who has been a child so I think it's perfectly fine to lightly make fun of someone who thinks they've just cracked the case by paraphrasing that truism with the terminology of dialectical materialism.

Parents have power over children, this is bad, and we should try to think of a world where a technological/social/economic reorganization makes this no longer true That's obviously not a truism, it's a radical statement most of the world finds shocking
