And by wild we mean institutionalized child abuse.

Saving someone from choking is abuse?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world -3 points 4 months ago (5 children)

Doing that is causing more harm than good. The logic that lead to recommending such action is derived from the institutionalized and abusive corporal discipline of the time. 'I beat my kid all the time, this can't possibly be bad for them. They can take it.'

It's like a cartoon where someone is being held upside-down by their ankles and shaken. Also, commentary of the time.

If you honestly believe in 2024 what is pictured is helping, do not help.

Here we have a great example of being confidently wrong.

Letting kids choke to death is the lesser harm here? Aight.

My homie, go take a first aid/cpr class. You are wrong for so many reasons, and taking the class would remedy this one tiny section of that.

And, seriously, go take the damn class, everyone should know how to perform basic care like this, period. It should be taught in schools imo.

I'll believe medical professionals, you believe whatever you want to.

Medical professionals and guidebooks from the present day, not from 74 years ago. At the very least, stay away from my kid.

What started as a throwaway comment had to become a legitimate PSA.

[–] null@slrpnk.net 0 points 4 months ago

Somebody sure got real quiet all of a sudden, after talking a lot of shit...

Guess the PSA was actually for you, huh?

This is the wildest take I’ve heard in a fuckin’ age. Dude, I never say this, but you in particular need to duck out quickly and touch grass.

You don’t get to use the language of facts while just warbling your own uninformed opinions on a subject. It’s gross.
