I always knew Western "children's cartoons" were insulting to my intelligence:

So much of Gen Z culture is a product of this filth (which is why even the "leftists" are Westernized). Thank God I at least had alternatives.

"So much of Gen Z culture is a product of this filth (which is why even the "leftists" are Westernized)."

You are not being logical. From your link:

Quote
After nine minutes, the children did four tests to tap their "executive function" — such as attention, problem-solving and delay of gratification —  which allows people to set goals and implement them. Executive function is important for helping children to learn and function in school and be creative, the researchers said.

"Just nine minutes of viewing a fast-paced television cartoon had immediate negative effects on four-year-olds’ executive function," Angeline Lillard and Jennifer Peterson of the psychology department at the University of Virginia concluded in Monday's issue of the journal Pediatrics.

"Parents should be aware that fast-paced television shows could at least temporarily impair young children’s executive function."

High executive function is a Western educational objective. A show that reduces executive function is therefore de-Westernizing, not Westernizing. This is why it is Western medics who are complaining about it!

I myself am not a fan of Spongebob, but I would not discourage children who like it from watching it. If Spongebob leads to less machinism, we should avoid attacking it at least until machinism has ceased to be a threat.

Why not attack Western classical music instead?

Mozart effect - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org


Quote
The Mozart effect is the theory that listening to the music of Mozart may temporarily boost scores on one portion of an IQ test. Popular science versions of the theory make the claim that "listening to Mozart makes you smarter" or that early childhood exposure to classical music has a beneficial effect on mental development.[1]

I was a victim of this as a child. (I'm guessing you weren't.)

Quote
Zell Miller, governor of Georgia, announced that his proposed state budget would include $105,000 a year to provide every child born in Georgia with a tape or CD of classical music. Miller stated "No one questions that listening to music at a very early age affects the spatial-temporal reasoning that underlies math and engineering and even chess." Miller played legislators some of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" on a tape recorder and asked "Now, don't you feel smarter already?" Miller asked Yoel Levi, music director of the Atlanta Symphony, to compile a collection of classical pieces that should be included.

Why do you think there is no equivalent of the above but with Spongebob? Answer: because Western classical music aligns with Western educational goals, whereas Spongebob does not. So which is the Westernizing filth?

"I was a victim of this as a child.  (I'm guessing you weren't.)"
I remember going to Piano lessons as a kid, but I don't remember being forced to. I liked playing the piano if I'm being honest, even though I'm not a fan of classical music (I was mostly taught songs like "Twinkle Twinkle" and "Mary had a Little Lamb" (I would later use it to play video game BGMs). I felt compulsory schooling to be more of something that was being forced on me.

"I myself am not a fan of Spongebob, but I would not discourage children who like it from watching it."
I was discouraged, but not prevented. I agree that high cognitive function is a Western objective. But don't you agree that poor delayed gratification leads to loss in attention span, which cultivates "ADHD" type behavior that is antithetical to Aryanism? But I agree that we should attack machinists more than Spongebob fans.

For the record, I would not prohibit children (or adults, for that matter) who spontaneously like Western classical music from listening to it (to do so would be initiated violence). However, those who spontaneously like Western classical music should without a doubt be prohibited from reproducing sooner than those who spontaneously dislike Western classical music.



"But don't you agree that poor delayed gratification leads to loss in attention span, which cultivates "ADHD" type behavior that is antithetical to Aryanism?"

I agree that ADHD is inferior:

https://trueleft.createaforum.com/human-evolution/non-aryan-adhd/

Delayed gratification is a separate phenomenon. It is emphatically not a trait we should worship in itself, as it leads to future-oriented thinking, which at best reduces empathy for victims in the present moment and at worst leads to progressivism.

Childrearing is in itself a product of future-orientation by parents/teachers who justify disregarding how children feel right now in order to benefit the adults that will take over their bodies in the future.

Non-Aryan farmers will tell you that the key to successful farming is delayed gratification, and hence willingness to do the work during the growing season motivated by the harvest later in the year. I of course disagree. Successful farming should proceed from empathy for the crops themselves in each present moment, which alone already suffices to motivate the Aryan farmer to tend them at least as diligently as the non-Aryan farmer motivated by the harvest. As I keep having to remind everyone, farmers are not necessarily Aryans! If anything, it was the non-Aryans who (after learning farming from us) corrupted subsistence farming into commercial farming (the latter requiring more delayed gratification and at the same time less empathy for the crops than the former).

(If you think about it, hunters also delay gratification when they do not try to pursue prey as soon as they spot it, but wait for the timing that will give them the best chances. Thus I would contend that delayed gratification is a Gentile trait.)

While it is unfortunately a strategic necessity in the material world for us to delay our gratification in order to defeat enemies who are delaying theirs, if along the way we start worshipping delayed gratification, then we have become what we set out to defeat.

I see. A similar point could be made (as I have earlier) regarding impulsivity.

Free to learn: the immorality of compulsory schools
Christian Dean
“The school system isn’t wrong in the sense that it’s further from the truth than Karl Popper. It’s wrong like the Catholic Church was wrong in refusing to accept Galileo’s heliocentrism and in locking him up so as to protect their worldview. It doesn’t capture any part of reality, and because of this it doesn’t solve any problems. In fact, it causes more problems than it could ever hope to solve.”
– Christian Dean


     

A peculiar meme seems to have dominated throughout human history, namely, that there always exists some demographic that is less than human. First it was race; then, women. Now, the final demographic desperately waiting for equal moral standing is children.

Today, the institutional instantiation of this meme, of course, is the education system. From the age of five, children are placed on a conveyor belt—tedious for some, torturous for many—until they alight in possession of what authorities have deemed “an education”.

Most would agree that a state of ignorance never justifies coercion, yet for reasons I shall explain below, this courtesy extends only to the point of puberty.

A false theory of mind

Rather than analyse the history of the school system, I think it more fruitful to analyse the current philosophical ideas that are justifying this treatment of children in the minds of adults. After all, we are all prone to err, but something is preventing this error from being corrected.

That something, I believe, is what Sir Karl Popper called, ‘The Bucket Theory of Mind’. The theory is as follows:

Knowledge can be transferred with high fidelity from one mind to another. In other words, the mind is like a bucket into which knowledge can be poured.

As a child, I remember teachers and parents telling me that my brain is like a “sponge”, so it’s important to be exposed to as much as possible during these critical years of my life, because after this, learning becomes slow and arduous.

This theory of mind, then, is the life-raft of the otherwise foundation-less education system. It justifies shuttling batches of thirty kids from classroom to classroom for the entirety of their youth. Exams, curricula, and age-based learning are all natural extensions of the belief that there is a critical age at which kids absorb knowledge. So too, is coercion. As it turns out, this theory of mind is entirely false.

Here we go again with False Leftism. False Leftist anti-racism/anti-sexism was based on claiming that "white" supremacists/patriarchists are wrong in their assessment of "non-whites'"/women's ability to maintain Western civilization if allowed into positions of power, instead of arguing that the death of Western civilization ASAP is what any ethical person should want. Now on schooling, its claim is:

But what if it isn't? Do we then accept compulsory schooling? This is why I can't stand False Leftism. A convincing rejection of compulsory schooling must begin by assuming that all the benefits of compulsory schooling posited by rightists are true, and then arguing that all these benefits do not justify initiating violence. This is True Leftism.

The inferiority of Western scientists (compared to the prestige they receive from Western society) never ceases to amaze me. Why not simply think back to when you were a baby? Were you afraid of snakes? That is all you need to arrive at the same conclusion!

Instead, I am worried about what violence was initiated by the Western scientists against the snakes in the experiment (were their teeth removed?) prior to them being placed in proximity to the babies.

And why snakes in particular? (Not that I am requesting similar experiments involving other animals!!) The whole thing is just Western scientists projecting their own biases.

I saw this anarchist post on reddit:
from r/Anarchy101


Commenters calling the OP out:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarchy101/comments/11azwcl/comment/j9wrgj9/
Quote
1.) Everyone, including those who are not anarchists, think that the authorities they support are justified. This is a terrible definition of anarchism.

2.) It's not absurd to suggest that child is entitled to autonomy any more than it would be absurd to suggest that adults are. Why should someone be able to "assign" duties to a child any more than I could "assign" you duties? Should I be able to tell you what time to go to bed? when and if to go to school? you give these examples as if it's just plainly obvious that children are the exception.

"it seems obvious" doesn't seem to be "justification" which is what you said you would require to have authority. You wouldn't allow someone to have arbitrary authority over you with simply "it seems obvious I should" would you? so why do you accept this in the case of children?

The critical commenters are trying* to become consistent anarchists. But even if they themselves do so, how do they deal with those who do not?

(* A genuinely consistent anarchist would not reproduce in the first place, of course.)

Quote
Should I be able to tell you what time to go to bed?

You should not. So if you have a child and do not tell the child when to go to bed, so far so good. But then you hear your neighbour telling their child when to go to bed. Now what? In a stateless society (which is what anarchists want), you would have to intervene personally. But what if your neighbour does not answer the door? Do you keep a battering ram ready for such scenarios? But if everyone has a battering ram, it would also become possible for anyone to enter neighbours' homes for unjustified reasons. No one would feel safe despite having a door. Everyone would then start reinforcing their doors to withstand battering rams. And then everyone would have to keep explosives to overcome the reinforced doors. And so on. Would it therefore not be less absurd to have a state, so you can just call the police instead (or better yet, the state provides alternative food/lodging/etc. for children in the first place)? This is why we are not anarchists. Preventing parental tyranny is most efficiently achieved by the state.

What about those who do not want to live under such a state? They can choose to leave whenever they want, provided their reproductive potential is surgically removed first. Anyone concerned about parental tyranny, even those themselves not intending to reproduce anyway, should agree to this, since they would be aware that without this others would leave and then reproduce and then practice parental tyranny.

Welcome to National Socialism.

Eventually this would lead to a scenario where capitalists/machinists (mostly "Whites" btw) end up getting away with parental tyranny while the poor/non-machinists (mostly "non Whites") do not. Which is why "Whites" (including Jews, such as Chomsky as the OP mentioned) support anarchism.
