    Lots of people come out of boarding school with PTSD. Shit sucks, especially because you would think that if there was one thing people would agree on it’s that we should take care of our kids.

      Not even going to talk about the “culture” and “socialisation” around woman teachers at these boys only boarding schools. Honestly half of those teachers need a visit from libertarian-alert. That is all I will say for now.

      It’s easy to agree in principle, but various traditions as well as the logic of the system of capitalism weigh extremely heavily on us, so intergenerational abuse like this keeps surviving if left alone.
