Consumerist grandson inveigled and finagled his way into getting a Switch 2 for Christmas. Now he's drawing Plustikas over everything and says Treatler did nothing wrong. What do I do? (hexbear.net)

With a smirk he just says "oh, but that's just the Switch 2 Plus button." But I know. I know what he's up to. This is what gaming does to children? I tried engaging with him intellectually by debunking him and the Consumption Demon Treatler in front of the entire family but they all said it wasn't good nor dialectical grandparenting. I said he was allowed to debunk me back but they said "he's seven" as if that's an argument.

My family said if I try to do prefigurative politics again they're putting me in a home.

You should, over the years, build trust with this boy. Be there for him and lead him into becoming emotionally dependent on you. When he’s spouting these views at 18, withdraw all communication from him without explaining anything. Create such emotional trauma he will be left broken, a whimpering mess.
