People think that Socialism is a way to live a good life off of someone else’s dime. But the reality is Venezuela or the Soviet Union — the elites live the good life and everyone else ends up literally starving and losing even their basic necessities like a decent, safe place to live. Looking at Venezuela or North Korea today, I can’t think of a more apt definition of Evil.

a new poll examining the political leanings of the next generation of leaders found 31 percent of millennials identify as “democratic socialist” or “socialist” while 40 percent of men in that age group say the same.

so.....Millenial men are more Socialist than the women?

That right there is a civilization death spiral.

What a change from all those government propaganda pieces that touted the benefits of every system except a Constitutionally limited Representative Republic....

lefties will tell you how great Norway is.

None of them will admit that Norway does not have open borders and you have to earn at least $47,000 per year to immigrate there. note apparently it was lowered, the reference here shows 30827.03US. however none of the horde approaching our southern border earn 30827.03 per year.

https://www.udi.no/en/word-definitions/income-requirement-in-family-immigration-cases-/

Income requirement in family immigration cases
When someone applies for family immigration, the reference person must document that they have a source of income. In some cases it is possible to be exempted from this requirement

How much must the reference person have earned last year?
You, the reference person, must have had a total income of at least NOK 256 256 (30,827.03US) per year pre-tax in 2017.

This must be taxable income stated in the tax assessment notice, or income which your employer has reported to the Tax authorities in your statement of pay and tax deductions (lønns- og trekkoppgave).

He who is not a liberal by the age of 20
has no heart, it is said.
But he who is still a liberal by the age of 30
has no brain in his head.

The problem with millennials is they were taught that they are the protagonist in their own story and that they would do great things. So, they graduate with a degree in gender studies, fifty-thousand dollars in debt but a profound knowledge of essential oils. They find themselves living in their parent’s basement and each day they wait for something amazing to happen that will propel them into the limelight as the hero they know they are. Robbed of any connection to church or patriotism they desperately search for relevance. The only path that appears open to them is Social Justice Warrior. So, between gigs as a barista at Starbucks and getting tattoos, they go out and avenge injustice by roundhouse kicking young women protesting abortion.

Beyond retaking the education system, I don’t see a solution. These people are doomed to an unhappy existence. I expect that millennials will be committing suicide it far higher numbers than other generations.

There is a problem targeting attention-deficit-syndrome millennials with a 42 page report. They will read the first two sentences and toss it in the round file...forgotten forever. It is easier to say “free health care” than wade through a 42 page report.

This is an EXCELLENT publication, but I seriously doubt ir would have an affect in millennials.

Rush Limbaugh’s short, historically correct story about the first Thanksgivings is far more powerful and should be read in every school every Thanksgiving. It should become a Thanksgivung Tradition.
