Neither does making your son get on the floor and clean up trash with his bare hands.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, basically. I'm not going to deny such parenting works, although its results vary depending on technique and the children themselves. It's unlikely that your father will ever change parenting styles - even if he wanted to.
The only thing that can change your situation or improve things is yourself, Chagen. I know that's unpleasant to hear, but it's basically what you are stuck with. Teaching and parenting styles develop over a great period of time, and are very difficult to shift around. The best that most people can do is swapping styles for older people and little kids (and even then the change is more cosmetic than anything).
The best sort of person for teaching with such as style is often one who is stoic and mature in personality; preferably beyond their years. Until that is achieved, the ENTIRE GOAL is to toughen you up, make you more mature, and *FORCE* you to be more dependable. You know the hardship and all that jazz? IT'S THE ENTIRE DAMNED POINT.
Nothing will change until you *fit* that mold. Teaching usually is meant to grow a young plant, but in this case, it can only do so once it is the kind of plant that farmer John wants to grow.
Take from this what you will. I can't tell you to do X, Y, and Z, because you will gain nothing from me doing so. Instead I give you a rundown of the information available - thus allowing you to come to a conclusion.
