Leftists Have Low Rearing Urges

I think of this whenever I see Jimmy Kimmel mugging with his baby son, like he is daddy of the year:

It’s getting to be that time of year again: when jack-o’-lanterns glow and mummies and witches roam the streets. But there is one Halloween tradition that really gives me the chills: Jimmy Kimmel’s annual candy prank.

Every Halloween for the past six years, ABC’s late-night talk show host has encouraged viewers to tell their children, on the morning after the holiday, that they have eaten the kids’ entire candy stash. Parents record their children’s reactions and send the videos to Kimmel, who broadcasts some of the clips on his show. The audience laughs at the children, who variously throw tantrums, go into silent shock or collapse in sobbing heaps on the floor — before the parents let them in on the joke and give back the candy.

Isn’t this all in good fun? What are a few tears, when the kids realize soon enough that it’s just a gag, right?

I have a different view. In my opinion as a longtime child psychiatrist, the children in the clips — most of whom appear to be between 3 and 7 years old — are reacting not so much to the temporary loss of candy but to a sense of betrayal that will linger long after their parents own up to the joke…

But they are still very young. Their bonds with their parents are built on trust — trust that Mom and Dad would never do anything to hurt them. And it can feel like a violation of that trust to hear that Mom and Dad have stolen and eaten all of their hard-won spoils, the stuff they went to bed dreaming about…

Of course, this isn’t exactly child abuse. But many kids will feel this particular prank as an emotional gut-punch, a breach of their parents’ love. When we consider that the sole aim of this betrayal seems to be the amusement of other people, in this case millions of strangers watching on TV, we’ve got to question the values of all the adults involved.

Mark my words, Jimmy Kimmel’s son will view him as an asshole someday, because he will do shit like this to him and think it is funny. Either that, or he will contaminate the child with evil and the child will derive amusement from tormenting children himself when he grows up.

Leftists really don’t see the world through the eyes of those around them. Only a pack animal, designed to war alongside beloved comrades develops that ability to empathize honestly and be willing to sacrifice for others. A rabbit only ever sees his own hungers, and the grass right in front of him. Everyone else, even offspring and children, are nothing more than an opportunity for another dopamine hit, or a rung on a status ladder to be stepped on and pushed down.

For all Jimmy’s tears about caring for others and morality, he is still the guy who thinks nothing of making children cry over being betrayed by their parents, to hype his own show. The empathy is an act to make even more money. In reality, he’s an even more selfish and callous asshole than he claims all the Americans who want freedom from shitheads like him are.

I see these videos, and feel what the child is feeling. They just expect their parents to be loving and nice, and as concerned about their happiness as they are about their parent’s. It is interesting that the child is feeling the beginnings of group-centric urges, and love and loyalty to others, and is more hurt by the betrayal. It is almost as if the rabbit’s goal is to destroy that specific aspect of the child’s psychology, and make them see a world where everyone is out to screw them, so they are freed to screw everyone else. Evil is often more focused and strangely goal oriented than you would think.

As the God Emperor would say, “Jimmy Kimmel – So sad!”

Spread r/K Theory, because liberals are shitbags, no matter what they pretend

My 12-yo daughter does this sort of thing to her 7-yo brother all the time, and he falls for it all the time. I sometimes pile on, saying e.g. that I just scored a great deal on some food he hates so we won’t be eating anything else for a month. But I always make my lies wildly implausible and then admonish him not to believe anything his sister says.

I understand why people think its funny on tv but i dont see the point where the child is “let in” on the joke. I mean, where is the point where being straight up lied to should be funny for the child? A practical joke, on a kid at least, should be something they would also find funny. If i told my kids i ran over their dog and filmed the reaction then let the dog in the room for then to see its alive people would see the heart of the joke was cruelty. Yes, its only candy but the heart of the joke is betrayal against an innocent child with limited understanding of the situation. I wouldn’t call it abuse but its not something i want to see encouraged by a tv personality either.

Children will do what their parents teach them. Teach them to be clowns and liars, don’t be surprised when they turn out to be clowns and liars.

Apparently it’s quite the fashion for people these days to do similar things to their children and then post video on FB. (I’ve seen just a bit of it, as I don’t frequent the place, but I’ve heard it’s quite common.) It’s despicable and maddening.

These assholes using their children for their own entertainment and social status need to be shamed; but they’re mostly shameless so that’s not going to work well.

Degeneracy. Many forms.

Wow, thanks for sharing! I’ve always wondered why child free women were so into shaming people like the Duggars, who have several children. Spiteful mutation totally makes sense.
