Because those are your grandpa's and your dad's causes, respectively. The operative word for this generation is "consent."
Manipulate someone into giving Consent and you can do whatever the hell you want to them. They asked for and agreed to the abuse!
It all starts with clicking "I accept."
My skin crawls anytime I see someone bring it up; it's a red flag that someone is trying to apply BDSM protocol negotiation to an otherwise-simple interaction. Attorneys do this shit too. People only ever do it at all when they're trying to rewrite the rules in their favor.
In all honesty I think grandpa's and dad's causes were getting home
with all their arms legs still attached, but I hear you. Once the
sound of trumpets fades and the flags are folded, it's hard to get out
of your head what has been internalised so deeply. Yeah they're just
words, usually uttered by men who've sacrificed nothing.
But hey, this thing about "consent". Jolly interesting. Because not a
single person I've met born after 2000 really has the capacity
I do not mean that in a disparaging way, but I do mean it in a serious
legal sense. I don't think that in the 21st century the vast majority
of adults have the capacity to consent to digital contracts. It
started with EULAs, and has since plunged the entire legal profession
into degeneracy. It's total failure to protect the lives of common
people from technology predators is shameful.
