– What is inter-generational trauma, and how could people who have never experienced a conflict be affected by it via their parents?
In: 10
Basically it’s the idea that how you will raise your children is entirely dependent on how you were raised and that you are beholden to a system of oppression for eternity and that nothing you do will ever change that. It creates an easy scape goat for people who don’t want to actually improve their lives and can just blame the “system” for all their pathological human traits.
This idea is deeply entrenched in the unconstrained vision, and it fundamentally preaches that humans are inherently good, and it’s the systems they inhabit that cause them to take on bigotry, malous, sloth, etc. If only the systems were torn down and new ones created, then all humans will suddenly become generous, benevolent, and productive. To me that’s an insane idea and it has no real world benefits and only leads to muderousness. I opposite it wherever it lies.
