You are overlooking that humanity is subjective. I am human but that thing with a different skin color isnt.

So i can say “All Humans are equal and free and bla” and simultaniously enslave that differing colored creature over there.

Eventually someone who hast not shit for brains comes to Power and sees that the enslaved are just differing colored humans and have the motivation to truly make “All Humans are equal and free and bla”

Now since History exists some people are more “equal and free and bla” since some people just became Humans yesterday and need to some correcting Treatment so they can be “equal and free and bla” just as much as the other Humans. And correcting means giving them the same rights and bla.

But for some reason some people think that If some other group gain some rights (that they themselves already have) that they deserve a participation trophy as well.

Wow, equating a child’s coping mechanism and trauma escapes with giving them drugs is a low that’s genuinely impressive. And infuriating.

Why? Because to me that is very equatable.

Drugs are an escape from trauma just as well. Social Media is just as addicitve.

Why is it in any way wrong? (You did not call it that way but that seems to be the Message)

which entertainment, games and social interactions via internet that are used to cope are NOT fucking part of

Only If you ignore the science, especially for social media.

And of course you know there are games that and movies and serieses that shouldnt be consumed by kids. I hope we can agreed that kids shouldnt watch Breaking Bad and play something like Postal.

Implying that a phone is inherently damaging

I never said inherently.

and taking it away if it’s their coping mechanism / outlet completely from a traumatized child will lead to either estrangement later or suicide earlier.

Probably as likely as suicide when they still have it.

How come suicide rates did not drop since the advent of the phone?

You seem to imply that the phone is spmehow aiding psychological Regeneration (probably with all the Fake News, the constant barrage of negativity, sexialized Advertisement etc. I bet that is curing)

But somehow the rates are as High as the 1930s

So the “escape” and “coping mechanism” does not work as such. The mid 30s need to accept that.

So the if the Phone is an escape and escapes are a-okay, when are we arguing in favor of drugs for children?

Shouldnt it be both: limiting or prohibiting escapes for children and therapy?

Otherwise you are adding a damaging coping mechanism to untreated trauma.

Edit

The Argument that the Smartphone causing Depression is wrong. Sometimes. But most things on the Smartphone are essentially malevolent in some way.

Yes, but how come the government spends not enough Money in education?

Because they were convinced that saving Money (ie Generating Profit - financially working like a private entity) would be more beneficial for future generations than stuff like education or a stable climate or streets that do not crumble under our feet.

The government acts like a big Corporation for some reason…

Maybe it hast something to do with the fact that big Corporations have a far greater sway on government officials, by bribing of multiple kinds or that many politicians are straight up corporate rich boys, that just continue to operate in government like they did in their corporate environment.

The rich steal money, so the poor cannot afford to live.

The poor revolt, but since the rich control the media, the rich tell the poor that other poor people are at fault (foreigners, trans, leftists).
