Social media
Those fake news “comedy” shows

-—What exactly has birthed the Pajama Boy aristocracy — our overclass of pretentious, inexperienced, and smug 30-something masters of the universe?-—

The feminization of America; the emasculation of the American male.

All things LGBTQ has relegated the USA to low-T status.

-—explains why a nation $20 trillion in debt envisions the battle over transgender restrooms as if it were Pearl Harbor.-—

Actually it does not. All the current efforts by the regime to implement the leftist wet dream list are in fact political cover to detract from the biggest theft ring in the history of the world. The whole purpose of the current government is to drain as much money as possible from the public treasury to be distributed among the favored political class.

There are thousands of complicit criminals that should be brought to trial and then death or exile

From the article, they list out three of these idiots who substituted fakery for policy. Ethan Krupp, the original “pajama boy”, laughs about “winning” arguments with sarcasm and insults; Jonathan Gruber, who outright admitted to gulling the liberal voting public into supporting the Obamacare fiasco by making it look like something it wasn’t; and Ben Rhodes, who just revealed how he literally lied to the press in a way that would reinforce the delusion that the White House had scored a diplomatic coup over Iran.

Lamppost, rope, beltway insider, some assembly required.

My sons usually get guns or knives for most gifts. One is on summer break form college and working a construction job. Neither would be caught dead in plaid jammies.

"Most men in Dayton or Huntsville do not lounge around in the morning in their pajamas, with or without built-in footpads, drinking hot chocolate and scanning health-insurance policies. That our elites either think they do, or think the few that matter do, explains why a nation $20 trillion in debt envisions the battle over transgender restrooms as if it were Pearl Harbor."

I wish I could write like this.

What exactly has birthed the Pajama Boy aristocracy?

Elitism, defined by families who make their kids study and get good grades in order to dominate every aspect of ‘SCHOOL” at the expense of developing character and work ethic, which leads these Pajama Boys to expect that they will go to Ivy League schools and get jobs governing over people because they are “better” and “smarter” than the “great unwashed”. They are unprincipled and not well-rounded, greedy, and small-minded folks.

D’Souza meets Hanson.

VDH did not address the biggest lie and scam of all... Global Warming transformed (within the lie) to Climate Change. Just like ACA, another way for the political class (Al Gore and Carbon Credits) and their allies in academia (government funded studies) to spend our money to enrich themselves. The question is how do we stop them. Will Trump understand? Does he even care? Maybe the Tree of Liberty needs to be watered.

Ditto.

The failed, fake “self esteem” movement
The ensuing gynocracy where biomom has all the power in the “family” court grist mill.
The elimination of fathers parental authority and relegation of such to walking wallet (search: parental alienation)
The coddling of the resultant “emo” children; giving them the status of mom’s best friend and confidant
The substitution of pharma for discipline
The modern feminazi view that childish behavior that is normally subdued by parental authority is some sort of disorder/syndrome.

I think the prime reason is government subsidized post-secondary education. College has never been cheap, but unless you were extremely wealthy, it was an investment that needed to lead directly to a marketable skill. As “everyone” can now afford to go to college, even though many are not bright enough for traditional degrees, we see the rise of pseudo-scientific, “social sciences”, and other worthless degrees and the dumbing down of traditional degrees and curricula. The disaffected recipients of these degrees, long unemployable, are now the members of the Pajama Boy aristocracy, who finally have the power to have their “superior” views aired and executed.

Prolonged adolescence? Affluence? The disappearance of physical chores and muscular labor?

Yes, yes, yes and yes.
