Wow, the attention-seeking in this blog post is really something. "Piss-weak parenting", "-ism" and "-ist" bait. And the point is presented with no nuance, just "TikTok bad, other parent bad, I am good." I suppose a certain degree of edginess is needed to stand out from the many discount-bin opinion pieces like this online.

There's hardly any substance to it if you take away one guy's strong opinion and snark. He has a point, but argues for it with one anecdote. This article could have been written so much better if it just focused on the importance of telling your children "no" and why that helps in general. Now it reads like Jordan Peterson's advice on parenting - very situational, clever, but also very opinionated and superficial.

Other articles on the blog are, of course, about crypto and hustle culture. Par for the (edgy internet personalty) course, I suppose.
