I'm not talking about legislation of anything. I'm not even offering a solution. I am merely saying that it's not just one source for radicalization. You are seriously overthinking and overanalyzing every fucking thing that I've said. Chill out.
Well, when the topic is "We should prevent the media from instigating these things", legislation is the only serious means, since the media companies don't give a shit about our personal disapproval.
But mainly, I think being contrarian without offering a solution is essentially a form of defeatism, and if that's all you can offer you'd be better off not saying anything. I don't think that's all you can offer, of course, so I've basically just outlined what the logical implications are for a non-defeatist to make the observation that enculturation isn't just media consumption. I've obviously been talking past you a bit from reply one, but I'm sure you can forgive me for that.
... pointing out something is bigger than just one thing is contrarian and defeatist? I think you need to lay off the Debate Bro youtube scene for a bit. And maybe throw out your thesaurus. Seeing as how you think my one simple statement deserves paragraphs of drivel showing that you're not actually paying attention, I'm quite over your drivel. Take care, and I hope you find a worthy interlocutor some day.
