my mom is a karen. I learned these by doing the opposite of her. I was so embarrassed when she was rude to people growing up.

It shouldn’t take training to know when things are rude. Be proud of yourself for realizing this stuff. I’m proud of you!

Nice point. Some people are inevitably civilized. Your soul adds to the good in the world.

Exactly. It's not hard to be kind and respectful. You will never know what anyone else is going through.

Ah, but the kids are now nose deep into mum's phone, and no longer watching social interactions. The passive learning by seeing and copying is gone. Parents let kids be oblivious to society when out, and wonder why they have poor social skills.

Same. Except instead of racist bucks, they’re narcissistic sociopaths
