	[[Authoritarian]] parenting is different from helicopter parenting in that the helicopter parent is doing it more out of [[love]] and [[empathy]] rather than pure disciplinarianism. However, both reinforce [[authoritarian]] behaviors. When kids of helicopter parents need to resolve conflicts, the ever-present parental figure is always there to step in. Kids don't learn to negotiate with other kids, they learn deference to [[authority]]. Helicopter parenting ~~trains~~ kids to be [[wikipedia:Karen_(slang)\|Karens]].

			[[Authoritarian]] [[societies]] rely on militarized police that impose discipline, and the [[bootlicking]] snitches that tell them when anyone steps out of line. Overparenting in the home leads to overparenting in [[society]].

			Some have criticized his stances on [[social media]] as a bit alarmist or narrowly focused to the exclusion of other factors. Of course everything isn't [[social media]]'s fault, but it's a huge problem that nobody is doing anything about, leaving the majority of adults and children alike hopelessly [[addicted]] and [[brainwashed]]. So, maybe some focus on this issue is warranted. [https://www.anxiousgeneration.com/ His book] also has several chapters dedicated to the loss of [[Freedom\|free]] [[play]] in the name of [[safety]], so many of those criticisms come from people who haven't finished the [[book]].
