shit like this being run by amateurs (meaning people who don’t respect kids’ needs and distress signs) are SO dangerous. children die doing these kinds of things because they’re rooted mainly in the leaders ego and have nothing to do with actually increasing grit or stamina or endurance or whatever

Come-on Tori, you don't think these totally qualified manly-men white Christian Nationalists should be in charge of 28 kids for a 7-day "meat grinder" alpha-male bootcamp?

5 young white men in suits. Text: The type of friends you tolerate are absolutely shaping your children's future. Surround yourself and your children with the type of leaders who dare to ask the hard questions, discuss the relevant problems affecting our cities and bring tangible solutions followed by continuous actions to bring necessary change. We are shaping our nations future. #TheSpartanChallenge #JuniorWarriorTraining #Instructors

Here's some of the older instructors. They've got a certain, a certain, I don't know... Patriot Front aesthetic.

Families and environments don’t turn kids LGBTQ+. But if they did, it would be crap like this, not liberal parents, sex ed, and drag queen story time. Like some religious environments, this is the sort of stuff that turns kids 180 degrees away (for survival, for individuating, for love, for spite).

Yep, hardcore religiosity is a pretty dependable way to produce atheists (and damage queer kids who happen to be born into those families). My guess is these sorts of things will also have conversion camp threads, unfortunately.
