I really think this is wrong.
Today, there ARE people who remember being kids, playing outside until dark, one parent working, one parent at home. Penny candy. People fixing stuff and having basic skills.
But those memories are dying.
The kids who grew up with social media, inside all day, afraid of terrorists, afraid of sex predators, afraid of COVID, afraid of carbon, two stressed parents who hate their jobs but need to constantly consume the new trends. All products disposable — if it stops working, buy another.
Those kids are going to dominate society real soon. They will have no memory of any other time. They will increasingly look to government to Build Back Better in stronger and more comprehensive ways. Maybe constant surveillance will help. Perhaps Digital Currency is the fix we need. How about Social Credit?
Where have all the flowers gone? I don’t remember any flowers.
Thanks for the post. That is probably the best post I have read on FR.
Yes. The older generation and baby boomers are dying and being replaced with a couple spoiled, brainwashed generation of kids/young adults that have no real idea what made this country great. I think they are being taught that this nation is bad and needs to be redone...reimagined. Because of this, I am glad I am old.
You’re right, and those are the ones that were fortunate enough to have been born here. Toss in the millions who have invaded this country without any prior knowledge of what this society was, or is supposed to be, and have never been given any incentive to care. As the saying goes, Import 3rd World, Become 3rd World.
I’ve said for a long time, the Left “wins” mostly by attrition.
