What I find most fascinating is how these kids are gravitating to socialism with such ease. It cures all their mental ills by packaging every thing for them so neatly.
Meanwhile those of us who grew up with out the internet had to learn by falling off of our bikes, getting scraped up climbing trees, making real mistakes with real consequences. Yet, we are entitled. We were just given things.
Our money was earned by taking from others. We are supposedly a generation of “me, myself, and I,” but they think that by taking from “the 1%,” they are going to earn their way to prosperity.
No skinned knees, stubbed toes, or broken bones required, but the deaths of millions at the hands of socialism and communism don’t count because those generations were “doing it wrong.”
And the gods of the copybook headings, with terror and slaughter, return.
The problem is: The Gens after the Boomers expect to immediately have everything their parents have. Our generation has WORKED for everything we have. And those who want Government to cure all their ills will be sadly disappointed when the Government says ‘I’m taking half of your possessions to give to those who don’t have as much. No, it doesn’t matter if you worked for them, it just isn’t fair to those who haven’t bothered to work to get ahead.’
It will be a shocking comeuppance. And probably too late to change course.
