This is what you get from kids who have been raised by parents who think Participation Trophies and PC’ness are the rule of the land. They are totally incapable of coping with the real world. Is it any wonder that these Snowflakes have the highest post-college live-with-parents ratio in history?
Good article.
Along these lines, the concept that “being judgmental is bad” has certainly been around for awhile, but I think it has noticeably ramped up since Nov 8.
I think the Left has really latched on to this — Trump has things he supports, and things he opposes (who doesn’t?) and the Left now says this is “judgmental” and the big — enormous — problem with the deplorable Trump supporters are that they are all evil, judgmental people. How awful! The special snowflakes know that avoiding any judgments at all is the only moral path — and that is why they so thoroughly condemn Trump and his supporters. The irony escapes them.
A lot of what passes for political science is the search for a structure that does not require a virtuous citizenry.
It doesn’t exist. A moral people can make almost any system work, and in the generalized absence of virtue any system you choose will fail. There is no substitute for moral character.
Libtards want the masses to be dependent on big government. So they purposely try to raise dependent children into incompetent, infantile adults by hampering normal development.
I read the article, and I’m sure most here on FR understand the problem and how these snowflakes got the way they are.
The question is....what in the world can anyone DO about this???
Are these pussified young males irredeemable? Is there any hope of making them productive members of society? Can the young women be turned into responsible ladies who can possibly become wives and mothers?
And...if turning them around is truly impossible....what is to be done with them?
The Great Gatsby was symbolic. I am shaking my head at how little brass some people have.
“Courage is the foundation for all the other virtues.”
The prison cell as a crib for adults.
Brilliant.
I love the bit that today’s men can’t measure up to boys of the past.
Obamacare codified infantilism. It promoted “children” as old as 26 being covered by their parents’ health insurance. Now that “benefit” is accepted by too many.

As to society itself turning around—the thing had to be severely pruned, and while it will happen sooner or later, I can’t imagine anyone pulling the trigger. An EMP, a massive war, or economic collaplse are the only three things I can envision ending this unsustainable spiral, and sooner or later one of them will happen.
This goes way beyond teenagers and 20-something year olds. The “adult child” phenomenon has been around since the dawn of the Welfare State. Before that, if you were lazy, you either mooched off your relatives or died. But gradually, over 85 years, Welfare State Socialism infected this country and more and more people thought it would be OK to live off of someone else’s money. Being protected from opinions you don’t like is just the logical conclusion of generation after generation gradually accepting the idea that its OK for a big chunk of the population — the 47% — to live off the productive as if there were overgrown teenagers.
I think it’s funny to see the “protestors” acting so smart and tough UNTIL the SHTF....Then they all cower and run for their “safe spaces”...LOL
When life gets hard again, people will get hard again.

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance.

“Infantile Nation: How Breeding Overgrown Children Begets the Nanny State”
Or does the nanny state breed overgrown children?
