The System Is Not a Failure, It’s Deliberate
We Must Raise Obedient Children to Keep the System Running
We live in a world designed to keep us in line, mindlessly obedient, and dependent on systems that have no interest in our well-being. The shocking part is that it’s no longer hidden or denied. It is smacking us in the face. From the centralized planning of society to the tools of control used to maintain order, everything is constructed to reinforce submission and erode freedom. It’s nothing new and has been around for centuries. It’s reinforced and allowed to continue when we raise our children to obey through fear, threats, manipulation, and coercion.
The hidden chains that hold our society in place can be traced directly to the mistreatment of children. It’s a sad and often overlooked reality, but the system relies on the early conditioning of children to remain compliant, unquestioning, and obedient. The subtle manipulation starts when they’re young, before they even realize it’s happening. We are raising the next generation to become pawns in the game of power and corruption. Get them while they’re young; this is how the system stays in control.
The Weaponization of Early Childhood
From birth, children are subjected to systems designed not to encourage creativity, independence, or critical thinking but to control them. Early childhood is the most formative time of their lives, and it’s when we begin to mold them into what society needs them to be. This isn’t an accident. Education systems, media narratives, and even family structures secretly aim to manipulate children’s behaviors by using the weapons of fear and shame.
Parents stressed and overwhelmed by the high cost of living and restrictions on freedom inadvertently adopt controlling parenting styles that mirror the structures they themselves have struggled against. Yelling, punishing, and correcting children becomes a normalized way to establish order and ensure compliance. The child is conditioned to see themselves as powerless and unworthy of making their own decisions. It’s a cycle that extends beyond the household and into the system, laying the groundwork for a life built on rules they never questioned.
This is where the mistreatment begins. Not with overt abuse but through methods that chip away at a child’s autonomy, their natural curiosity, and their capacity for self-expression. Constant reprimanding for small mistakes, limitations on free play, and restrictions on decision-making are all forms of parenting that rob children of their natural ability to think for themselves.
The system knows that cracking down on independent thought in those formative years ensures the future is already mapped out. A compliant child grows into a compliant adult, ready to fit into the framework built for their submission.
Creating Generations of Slaves
What we’re dealing with is not accidental; it’s a well-constructed system of control. If we didn’t intervene, children would naturally grow up to think freely, question authority, and find ways to challenge the status quo. But this doesn’t serve those in power. So, the goal of every part of the system, from education to work, is to snuff out that potential as early as possible.
School is the most glaring example of how this process starts. From a young age, children are sorted into categories and told when to think, all while remaining compliant with a set of rules dictated by figures of authority. There’s little room for imagination or out-of-the-box thinking. Little Johnny’s curiosity about the world gets shut down in favor of memorization and regurgitating what he’s told without questioning it. Children’s natural spark for questioning and learning quickly fades as they are taught to value order and conformity instead of curiosity and exploration.
The result is a generation of children primed to fit into the mold society has set. They’ll go through school, enter the workforce, and continue the cycle without ever stopping to ask, “Is this really the best way?” They are often too beaten down, both mentally and emotionally, to even wonder what’s missing. This is how a compliant, well-trained population is made. You break them down early and tell them that who they are, their ideas and desires, don’t matter. This will continue for generations unless we make a conscious choice to break the cycle.
Fear, Shame, and Obedience
The key to the growth of the system’s control lies in the hands of parents. But it’s not just bad parenting practices that cause this problem. It’s a collective societal conditioning that takes place in homes across the world, where even well-intentioned parents fall into traps designed to limit the freedom of thought in their children and punish them if they disobey.
We see it in the well-meaning but limiting advice given to children, the constant fears drilled into their heads: “Don’t speak out,” “Don’t challenge authority,” and “Don’t take risks.” This is often amplified by shame-based tactics. Children are made to feel that their natural curiosity, outspokenness, or boldness is somehow wrong, forcing them to conform to someone else’s idea of what they should be. It’s a delicate form of manipulation shaping a child’s worldview to fit a predetermined narrative rather than letting them discover their own path. By instilling fear and shame about the natural human impulse to grow and challenge limits, we tie them down to societal roles that will never lead them to fulfillment or freedom.
Parents often contribute to this by fearing the consequences of raising children who are too independent, too vocal, or too free. There’s an invisible pressure to conform to the “norms” where disciplined children are praised, and free-thinkers are silenced. These forces shape both how children are raised and how they grow up to operate in a world that wants nothing more than to keep them under control.
The Illusion of Choice
On the surface, the systems of education, work, and media promise us freedom, opportunity, and progress. We’re told we have choice and autonomy, yet we live in a world full of arbitrary rules and regulations. The freedom to choose our career paths or our place of residence may seem empowering, but it’s only when we recognize that very “choices” are influenced by the system’s restrictions that the illusion begins to shatter.
When you manufacture scarcity, create job markets that reward conformity over autonomy, and manufacture fear through media channels that tell us what’s dangerous, you train people to believe they are free even as invisible chains bind them. For the cycle to continue, it’s essential that the next generation never sees those chains. The key to the cycle is understanding that fear and submission create the perfect recipe for “well-behaved” citizens. Once people are conditioned to be obedient, this model of domination becomes self-perpetuating. They take it for granted, and it stretches its tentacles deep into all corners of their lives.
Reclaiming Our Children and Reclaiming Our Future
Breaking free from these systems requires not only personal change but also a shift in how we raise the next generation. From the start, we must teach our children that they are independent beings worthy of questioning, exploring, and carving out their own paths in life. We must make choices to raise our children, emphasizing personal responsibility, autonomy, and critical thinking, refusing to mold them into passive followers of a broken system. We must resist the urge to physically strike them or manipulate them to get them to conform.
The mistreatment of children may not always come from deliberate harshness but from the complacency of a society that has allowed control mechanisms to advance unchecked. To break free from these systems, we must raise our children differently. We must stop teaching them to fear and obey and instead encourage them to challenge and question authority. Only when we reject the programming of past generations and embrace a new way of raising children, one rooted in the principles of peaceful parenting, can we hope to break the cycle and create a world not dominated by control but liberated by the fearless pursuit of individuality and truth.
