No, that's where you're missing the point. In my world I acknowledge that adults are strong and have power over children. I want to live in a world where that power is checked and acknowledge that children need protection from abuse.

You understand this fundamentally with the child being hit by an adult. You react in a condemning way because you understand this power difference. I would react in the same way as you and physically intervene to protect the child.

You would also have a different reaction if you saw one adult hit another adult. You may first see this as someone starting violence; but will not react so quickly to protect the other adult as you will look at the other differences in power. Are they both the same size? Are they both the same gender? What happened before the violence started? All of these have power dynamics. But you already understand these power structures and likely don't even think about them. But, that's what I'm actually trying to explain to you with Trump.

You don't have to pretend I'm some evil person fawning over an adult hitting a child. We are disagreeing because you have an emotional attachment to the word "power" and I am using it for its material meaning to define societal structures.

You're giving away your bias and emotional definition here; having to pretend that acknowledging power structures means I am "fawning" over that power. I am not and have never once said something that should make you believe so.

You are for some reason arguing that the abusive adult is "not powerful" though? At least if I infer that from the conversation about Trump. That they are only defined by your judgement of them as "trash" or how the abuse makes you feel; and you should actively deny their power as if it somehow "takes it away" from them by not acknowledging it. But this is what I'm inferring from what you've said so far. Feel free to clarify.

Power has material attributes. Adults have power over children. Leaders of a state have power over the people of that state. Power is when Trump can command a military to bomb Iran. He has power. It is not being checked. It is not good. Acknowledging power does not give it lower. Acknowledging that that power exists and is being abused is the first step in recognizing it needs to be stopped.

In my world, I see a 30 year old bastard kick a child and I would react in bile condeming this behaviour

If all you do is condemn him then you're not making the world any better either.

They aren't "fawning" they are explaining the situation using accurate language. Trump is powerful because he can do all this corrupt shit and nothing happens to him for it. We had an entire presidency after he attempted to start an insurrection and he didn't even get a slap on the wrist. People love to talk shit about Trump but that isn't changing anything in reality.

So contributing to the problem is ok as long as its fun. Got it.
