Big difference between discipline and abuse and you can bet that the antifa/BLM folks were all encouraged to do what they do w/o any adult leadership/discipline.
When necessary to correct "problems", it can be most effective.
You’re conflating “lack of discipline” with “the absence of spanking”.
“BLM folks were all encouraged to do what they do w/o any adult leadership/discipline.”
Actually, blacks tend to be vicious and relentless in physical punishment - the least little thing gets a beating, and that means frequently. Usually by the woman, because OTOH, they don’t have a man around.
So, they are the opposite example. The weenies vs. the vicious parents often end up with the same basic results - uncontrolled brats with no respect.
The middle road is the best, as always.
