      No they don’t.

      They learn that pain is a valid motivator and consequences only come from being caught.

      They don’t learn to follow rules.

      Like, it’s 2024, this has been widely studied…

      Did nobody tell you? I have a degree in psychology so maybe my expectations are too high, but you’re honestly the first person I’ve seen in at least the last decade say child abuse is an effective strategy

      Your inconsistency is that you thought my comment was a hissyfit, and needed your tough and immediate response, but you don’t think someone illegally interfering with an election is a hissyfit, or needs an immediate response.

      You’d prefer that this election interference be allowed to happen, be left to effect the election… And only be addressed later - after the election has been interfered with.

      You want to walk on eggshells because you’re scared of what your abusers might do. It’s battered woman syndrome (no it’s not gendered happens to lots of people, particularly kids).

      The desire to stay quiet or not make trouble out of fear of what might happen if you speak up, or get outside help.

      Might explain your focus on corporal punishment, maybe you’ve seen stuff like this happen on a personal level.

      You seem like you’re in a bad place. Try to focus on the good things in life, things that make you happy, and make you want to move forward and keep going.
