Why are young progressives so unhappy?

Today, it’s magnified via social media by a factor of 10X - and on a daily basis!

Their only friend is a cell phone.

You are both spot on.

I have despised the dam pocket entertainment device since its inception. It destroys lives in many ways. Just think about how many vehicular deaths have been brought upon by this scourge. There is no doubt it is destroying the psyche of impressionable youths. I know this first hand as a parent who has (and had) kids growing up in this toxic generation.

They are unhappy because they don’t know Christ as their Lord and Savior; therefore they have no hope.

You nailed it.

No Jesus, no peace.
Know Jesus, know peace.

[Mr. Jeeves]

"Man's standard of value, say the mystics of muscle, is the pleasure of Society, whose standards are beyond man's right of judgment and must be obeyed as a primary absolute....His reward, say the mystics of muscle, will be given on earth - to his great grandchildren." -- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Our schools and media tell young people they can only live for others - they are guilty of Original Sin for being born white, or male, or straight - and must spend their entire lives paying for those crimes. Many believe it and try to live as they are told - but of course become desperately unhappy in the futile attempt to redeem themselves in the eyes of their collectivist judges.

‘Dead End’ is correct.

I would add that these progressives recognize that everything they believe is a lie.

• Men are not women.
• Global Warming is false: Civilization's last days have come and gone multiple times.
• Throwing money at the underprivileged isn't lifting them out of their conditions.
• Raising tax rates does not increase tax revenue
• Appointing people to positions of authority based on race, sexual orientation, LGBTQ status doesn't make them effective.
• Defunding police doesn't make people safer.
• Allowing shoplifting doesn't make products more available.

And the list goes on.

Because they are so full of hate.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

More where that came from.

“Why are young progressives so unhappy?”

Who cares? As long as they remain so it’s stunningly good news!😀

Because they have no hope.

Because they have no hope.

“I was pretty happy but remember the insecurities, envy, anxiety, and rejection that most kids faced.”

Graduated high school in 1957. Witnessed absolutely zero “insecurities, envy, anxiety and rejection”. Probably 1/3 of males went into military, another 1/3 into gainful trades...welding, carpentry, auto mechanics etc for which high school had pre-trained them, and the rest for a variety of careers. Young ladies at the time were big on nursing, teaching and starting families. I think many of the various educational systems have subsequently criminally failed, mis-led and abused their charges over the years.

They have absolutely no joy in their hearts whatsoever.

Mark.

[Fledermaus]

If they truly believed in my body KY choice they’d stop telling others what to do.

Miserable being must find more miserable being, then is happy.

[sergeantdave]

Pure, unadulterated Darwinism. We’re witnessing a mass extinction event.

Gen Z plans to kill themselves.

[who knows what evil?]

I don’t care what Dr. Seuss says...there is NOTHING beyond ‘Z’.

[logi_cal869]

Let them embrace the suck.

I hope it hurts and results in long term, persistent physical pain.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yep.

But they do not believe it.

They do not believe you are in control of your body and so they will tell you what to do with it.

It is why they support abortion after all. If they do not want you to have a live body they want the right to just kill you.
