1) Laziness
2) Envy
3) Anger at capitalist institutions behaving like buttheads
4) Utopian immaturity
5) It’s hip and cool, want to be with the “in” crowd.
Its basic human nature to seek to do nothing.
So of course most people think socialism sounds good when they first hear about it, the thought that they could sit around and do nothing and have someone take care of them (the government) is very appealing. Like a lifetime of being retired without earning it.
that’s what we tell young people. “Oh, you’re OK the way you are.” … There’s nothing worse … you can tell someone who’s young than that, especially if they’re miserable.
Lots of them, if they’re miserable and aimless, it’s like, “Oh, I’m miserable and aimless and sometimes I’m suicidal and I’m nihilistic and I don’t have any direction … in my life.” It’s like, “Well, you’re OK the way you are.” It’s like they don’t want to hear that. They want to hear, … “You’re useless. You know nothing, you haven’t got started. You’ve got 60 years to put yourself together and God only knows what you could become.”
But I was never told specifically what, so I tried to do better in everything.
“You can do better than this” is a hate message in todays world but say it anyway...………………………..
Everyone should watch it.
46 minutes you would probably just waste anyway.
This part is worth the price of admission "We all know that: it is better to live courageously then cowardly, better to live truthfully than in deceit "
