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.
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.
When life gets hard again, people will get hard again.

“Infantile Nation: How Breeding Overgrown Children Begets the Nanny State”
Or does the nanny state breed overgrown children?
College kids are products of OUR generation, not their own
Excellent - thanks for posting...

Destroy MEANINGFUL Education and replace it with liberal indoctrination.
At the same time, destroy American Energy and Manufacturing industries.
Regulate and tax other business out of business.
The result is 95 million Americans out of the workforce, and no entry level access for the ill-equipped.
There you have multiple generations dependent on gov’t handouts and no sense of shame.
The "Greatest Generation" largely grew up in agrarian communities where even the children had to work in order for the family to do well.
WW2 moved many of these families into urban areas because of the jobs and manufacturing created in our war effort. We lived in the suburbs and children had no real chores other than homework and making one's bed. These were the spoiled, indulged, bored brats we saw throwing feces at soldiers returning from Vietnam.
It's gone downhill ever since.
