>>>Hopelessness is setting in.<<<<

I have come to conclude we have lost the culture war. It’s all down the tubes now. The difference in values between the over 60 crowd and under 30 crowd are profound. We as a country have dropped the ball mentoring the young. Look at social media, video games, YouTube and the niche cable tv networks like MTV. The old geezers are getting what they have sown. Nobody really instructed the youth properly. Too many adults would rather have McMansions and comfort than sacrifice for the next generation. Too much obsession with ME in all sorts of ways.

I have decided to give up on any meaningful change. I’ll participate and stay abreast of current issues. But I’m not going to get too upset anymore. I (myself) and I think all of us a group here do not have the ability to counter the cultural shift.

With the broadest of all brushes, yes. But there is hope, if you know where to look for the under 30s who are not afraid to stand for what is good and true.

They are still here in numbers. Maybe not enough to carry an election one day but they still exist and have not given up doing what's right. I know quite a few of them. Some here on FR.

I am 30, but I would say that the problems that you described aren’t the whole story, there’s plenty of culture going on among the young right now, dictating that certain ideas are cool, I personally avoided a lot of the problems among my generation, such as unwed parenthood, or getting stuck in some stupid cohabitation agreement, and made it along. The only problem is that tons of people in the younger generations are going to be in deep trouble when SRHTF!!!
