I remember those days, not fondly!
I also remember how the SWINE episode ended. The Universities caved and sold out to the MOB. When the SWINE protested the Hippie front tooth attacked the MOB ENFORCER'S brass knuckles. Peace returned to campus.

‘Raise up a chld in the way they should go and when they are older they will not depart from it’. And to think these mush heads will be our future.
Buncha sad sacks of wasted young lives of leftisms.
Please, somebody please construct a couple of giant bombs filled with water or cream pie filling to drop on just one of these protests. The satisfaction I would feel from something like that taking place would be immense.
We have a winner. This is obviously being orchestrated from the White House. His OWS was a bust because it was concentrated at Wall Street so he now is trying to spread the turmoil nationwide. We’ve been suffering from his false racism claims too long to be fooled anymore.
When they go apply for a job, they will find their social history online researched.
I think only left wing NGOs and the like will hire these people.
How about a giant vat of molasses or corn syrup?
A large part of the problem!
When I ask them what they want, a typical response is "radical transformation of the economy" to reduce income inequality, racism and sexism and, of course, to end climate change.
If these young skulls-full-of-mush get what they want, people will die in the tens, even hundreds of millions.
Exactly! And they define what the greater good is!
These are the symptoms of Critical Theory, a school of Marxism:
In sociology and political philosophy, the term critical theory describes the neo-Marxist philosophy of the Frankfurt School, which was developed in Germany in the 1930s. Frankfurt theorists drew on the critical methods of Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud. Critical theory maintains that ideology is the principal obstacle to human liberation.[2] Critical theory was established as a school of thought primarily by five Frankfurt School theoreticians: Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Walter Benjamin, and Erich Fromm.How this withering, non-stop, attack against every aspect of Western civilization will bring about the dictatorship of the proletariat is unclear.Core concepts are: (1) That critical social theory should be directed at the totality of society in its historical specificity (i.e. how it came to be configured at a specific point in time), and (2) That critical theory should improve understanding of society by integrating all the major social sciences, including geography, economics, sociology, history, political science, anthropology, and psychology...
[The updated version below is where they pass through the looking glass]
While modernist critical theory (as described above) concerns itself with “forms of authority and injustice that accompanied the evolution of industrial and corporate capitalism as a political-economic system,†postmodern critical theory politicizes social problems “by situating them in historical and cultural contexts, to implicate themselves in the process of collecting and analyzing data, and to relativize their findingsâ€.[12] Meaning itself is seen as unstable due to the rapid transformation in social structures. As a result, the focus of research is centered on local manifestations, rather than broad generalizations.
Please, the ‘know it all’ 20-something has been since the dawn of time. IMO, ALL children think they are better/smarter than the generation before...until they get their first job/house/car/etc.
Unfortunately (again, MHO), those before the Great Depression began the process, aided by a Fascist/Socialist govt. (SS/income tax) Boomers expanded (medicare/welfare), and it’s been downhill since.
IF We had stayed true to the Republic, these discussions, and problems, would be moot.
Taking God and corporal punishment out of schools.
These brats were created by parents who followed the Liberal concepts for their kids
Actually, they were inevitable, given the fact that their early education has been given over to an angry, vindictive group of women...irrational hatred combined with fuzzy logic doesn’t normally lead to good results...
“The BABY BOOMERS that listened to Dr. Spock and didn’t SPANK their kids.”
My mom was pre-boom. She read Spock. She must have missed the part that said “don’t spank’. Either that, or she read it completely wrong!
Truthfully, in the 1960s, the government traumatized young people with its irrational and unfair military draft, that left many of them easy prey for a leftist media and anti-war college professors.
Though the truth was that only a fraction of the men would be drafted, only a fraction of that number would be put into combat arms, and only a fraction of that number would be sent to Vietnam, the great majority remaining in the US or sent to Europe. And only a tiny fraction of that number that were sent to Vietnam were killed in combat, the first major war in which slightly more died of combat injuries than died of disease. Some 58,000 died, about 29,000 in combat, averaging out to about 1,500 a year over the 20 years of the war.
An average of 800 a year died in the 5 years of Iraqi occupation, and over 10,000 a year died in the 3 years of the Korean War, to put this in perspective.
But the screams of leftists to the young men were, “You will lose your deferment, get drafted and be sent to Vietnam to diiiiieee!” Some leftist professors went so far as to order their students to protest the war, under threat that if they didn’t, the professor would flunk them and they would lose their college deferment.
In any event, the propaganda worked, and young Americans turned against the war, the situation not helped by the politicization and “stalemate”-attitude of those in charge.

What created them? Low entrance requirements that allow the retarded into colleges. College is a HUGE trillion dollar industry, so many colleges were created to capture that revenue. There are more than 4,000 colleges today. There aren’t that many intelligent people to fill 4,000 colleges so many stupid people have been admitted to college.
Attention Whoredom.
“My mom was pre-boom. She read Spock. She must have missed the part that said “don’t spank’. Either that, or she read it completely wrong!”
LOL. Actually your mom was SMART ENOUGH to know that Spock was full of shit when it came to raising a skull full of mush. Impressive woman!

Sad...but they will have to be turned around in their adult years. It is doable, but not always easy.
