Hitting your kids is in the same category as circumcision, iPads, strict adherence to the CDC vaccine schedule---it is for Ns, goyim, and walmart pajama people. It lowers IQ (Straus, 1995), increases aggression (Gershoff, 2016), is less effective than a timeout, and requires escalation to keep working. The replies to articles like this are filled up with the Dumbest People Who Ever Existed saying "it worked for me" and then genuinely malicious and hateful morons dropping reaction gifs of like daffy duck swinging a belt "EVERY STATE IN AMERICA ALLOWS YOU TO PHYSICALLY CORRECT YOUR CHILD. It's legal. It's fun. Bring it on." -- profile says: Cat Sanctuary Dad. Unyielding steel. Workouts, keto, cat chaos, anime rants. Godzilla, Gundam, Mazinger, Ultraman, classical art, manga. If you hit your kids, you will create permanent emotional distance with the only person/people you could ever be that close to, not to mention sending them down the road of being as much of a lost fuckup loser as you are who will hit their own kids, or wont, but only after spending a decade figuring out why they reflexively apologize all the time.

If your child is too young to understand why their behavior is wrong, they're too young to understand why they're being spanked. If they're old enough to understand, then spanking them is both unnecessary and, at best, a shortcut around some other method that would actually help them understand. There's no real argument against this. Every single "valid situation" people offer is retarded. "My kid was going to run in the street/they were hitting their sibling/they were going to pull boiling water on themselves." All your fault, all your responsibility, whether they are old enough to understand why these things are wrong or not. If you fail to prevent these situations, you turn to your inability to correct your child without blaming them for YOUR mistakes. So many of you have been oneshotted by lead-brained Boomerism. You make retarded, invalid analogies to war or criminality. You imagine hypothetical scenarios in which you feel morally righteous about hitting your kids. It's no wonder so many of these people bought into COVID hysteria and have now become Talk Radio Americans with the intellectual depth of Clay Travis and Benny Johnson. You are failed normies who just want an opportunity to exert frivolous, unearned authority over a person with no ability to resist or counter you. You would be right at home in the HR department or the public school teacher's lounge or a civil rights law firm. You would be cozy and comfortable in the unempathetic, narcissistic Boomer generation, who just got done lecturing you about how you should eat saltines with a squirt of ketchup on them to save money and never experience joy so that you can afford a house in 20 years. And these people will call you a "liberal" for noticing.
