Kids who question the media or government could be extremists

[strivingobserver98]

Isn't this everyone with a brain? :hiding:

What does it mean when your child starts questioning authority and criticizing the government? Is it typical youthful rebellion? The awakening of a political conscious? Or a sign that he or she is on the path to violent extremism?

Parents in London have been warned that it could be the latter.

An anti-radicalization leaflet recently distributed by a local child protection agency cautions parents who are worried about their children’s ideology to be alert for signs of typical teenage rebellion: changes in friends, dress, or behavior; acting secretive when parents approach.

Then it lists other signs that could indicate a potential extremist in the making. These include: Mistrusting mainstream media reports, supporting conspiracy theories, and criticizing government policy, particularly foreign affairs.

It sounds like they would live in totalitarianism where it might be fatal to criticize the leaders.

Lol they call people radicals left right and center just for speaking the truth, and people are naturally gravitated towards truth and therefore fall into the anti-falsehood camp - i'd say it's good sign that the falsehood mongers are desperate and people are continually waking up to the ridiculous nature of the attempts by the criminals in the murderous NATO syndicate to attempt to maintain moral high ground through stupid accusations.

Maybe they still want kids to believe the operation northwoods lie, or the lie about saddam's wmd and the wtc7 six point five second collapse at no blow story. They're more imaginative than grimm's little tailor and the king's new clothes.

This labels anyone who would even cross-check a story in a negative light. RT reports one thing and the BBC reports another, now you are suspect for questioning which news is accurate/true?:hmm:

So if anyone disagrees with 20% VAT they are automatically extreme
Same, if they disagree with tuition fees

There is a difference between 'questioning' and being outright dismissive or 'anti'.

Being secretive is something else altogether. I think these kinds of 'surveys' are too narrow and totally misleading.
