      this is literally the problem. parents don't even face minimal moral disapprobation for most abuses. people think the very idea of parents having power over children is funny, much as John Adams found it funny when his wife suggested men had power over women.https://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1338634504697749504 …

      responses to that tweet are split between a majority of people being giggling asshats and then a smaller number of people telling me about the horrific abuse they experienced as children.

      parents can take their kid's phones; spy on them; lock them in the house; forbid them to see SO's (queer or otherwise); refuse to help them with college; kick them out of the house. there's hardly even a social consensus that any of that is bad.

      I think ”Lord of the Flies” addresses what happens when kids aren’t provided structure and discipline. I guess it’s fine Piggy got his skull crushed by a rock as long as the kids are able to do whatever they want unencumbered by their parent’s oppressive tyrany🤦🏻‍♂️

      Fiction books don't actually "prove" anything about psychology and social science because - brace yourself - they are made up

      What people make up, and what stories are popular tells us *a lot* about psychology, almost by definition. It's expressed thought. The error you're describing is in treating what happens in stories as data representing what happens in life. That's totally different.

      Sure, and Lord of the Flies reveals a lot about what Golding and his audience thought about kids Not about some revealed truth of what kids are like

          The Lord of the Flies is a deconstruction of The Coral Island (published 1857), a book where shipwrecked white boys demonstrate their moral superiority over Pacific Islanders. There is a reason The Lord of the Flies is set during a massive war.

          I've seen one reading of LotF where it's very specifically about British boarding school culture, and what that kind of environment does to little kids. (Wait this might have been you)
