Why Are Young Progressives So Unhappy?
New American Prophet ^ | June 11, 2023 | Joseph Backholm

We know America is experiencing a mental health crisis, but the Youth Risk Behavior Survey recently released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) illustrates just how serious the problem has become for America’s young people. In 2021, almost three in five teenage girls felt persistent sadness.

Communist indoctrination is dependent on the cultivation of envy.

Once you eliminate a person's capacity for gratitude for the things, relationships, circumstances they do have and replace it with an obsession over the things they don't have, you have virtually removed that person's ability to ever be happy.

Why Are Young Progressives So Unhappy?

Because they are all Democrats and their beloved Democrat party is one huge depressing, hopeless, negativity dumpster

Because the women’s section and their magazines are now the culture of America and the daily news.

Everything is about neurotic health concerns, crime, dangers, celebrities that you can’t live up to or date, neurotic, high-strung, fearful, and constant emphasis on blending with the herd.

Read a 1960 Time magazine or newspaper, they were mostly focused on the male’s real-world interests and concerns, the kind of news we need if we are going to vote on serious nation-preserving decisions.

Millennials are unhappy because of college debt and a lousy economy. Gen Z is unhappy because they think the world is going to end. Neither had the growth economy that the WWII Generation or even the Boomers had, and if they did, they wouldn’t be equipped to succeed in it, and wouldn’t like it (concerns about the environment, dislike for capitalism). Somewhere out there on the internet, there’s an article about how to be a socialist if you really don’t like people. Two generations of unsocial socialists out there.

Why are young liberals so UNHAPPY? They know some young people didn’t get indoctrinated by the public indoctrination centers, so they can’t take control, yet.

My parents came of age during the Great Depression.

Hard times, hard times.

As a baby boomer, I came of age when times had never been better.

Some called the last stages of the baby boomer generation as the “me” generation.

If you believe evolution is social not physical, then the current generation is the me generation to an exponential power.

A decided lack of moral, responsible adult role models, starting in their family. They have to be very strong to fend off those who are immoral and irresponsible.

I sure miss Paul Harvey. I used to listen to him every morning on the way to work.

I'm betting Paul Harvey, Bob Grant and Rush are in heaven doing talk radio for GOD and the angels.

America has by and large tossed God to the side. We are being judged. Children are being taught a culture of victimhood that teaches them no matter what, you are a victim or an oppressor because of your skin color. Allowing men to infiltrate everything women. Children especially are angry and upset because there is nothing but confusion everywhere.

Because they are entitled narcissists who don’t know how to be grateful for the blessings they have.

There is no logic to anything they believe. They have to suspend all logic and rationality to live in their world. Women can be men and vice versus. You can go all electric, but shut down coal, gas and nuclear power plants that produce electricity. “Climate change” can be stopped without involving China, India, or Brazil in the effort. It’s never ending. And in addition, what they are forced to believe can change daily based on the political whims of the moment. It’s no wonder they are all angst ridden and depressed. They have no solid foundation for their lives other than the requirement to be woke.
