If man has learned to see and know what really is, he will act in accordance with truth. Epistemology is in itself ethics, and ethics is epistemology.
— Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man (via philosophybits)
A generation is being lied to and manipulated by bad people, and parents can be damn near powerless to stop it. I honestly don’t know what to do, when kids who are raised by their parents to be kind, empathetic, and gentle, are seduced by racists and misogynists.
Not being able to reach your children, when you know they are being manipulated and lied to, is the worst feeling in the world.
