I am totally amazed at the irony.
Students are free to voice their unhappiness with a “free and open society” then they also want to financially prosper due to capitalism.
Yet they won’t be happy until there are no more freedoms and financial freedoms.
Then and only then will they realize what that had.
“Then and only then will they realize what that had.”
Back in my college days at ESU I once attended a ‘Teach-In’ regarding planning for the (violent) ‘revolution’. Lots of talk back then about setting up logistics and communications, but one could tell that the students figured that after their ‘revolution’ was completed, they’d go order a pizza or something.
Kids that age are ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS as to how bad things can be, and how quickly things can go bad. Show them some scenes from the Ukraine War (either side, but particularly on the Ukrainian side) with people freezing in flooded, rat-infested, trenches, and then show a cafe’ scene in Europe (anywhere in Europe), and tell them that the difference between that cafe’ scene and hell they’re seeing in the trench is about 2 weeks of training.
