The “radical” youths do not know how good they have it.
I heard a story that Boris Yeltsin visited an American supermarket and wept for his people. He couldn’t imagine such opulence being available for working people. My yellow lab has a higher standard of living than the majority of mankind. My house has electricity and hot running water. My family has never been hungry. I have never lost a child to disease. I personally have survived three illnesses that would have been fatal in most places in the world. I have two cars. Until recently, I have never feared my government. And yet young people are working hard to throw all of this way. It’s astonishing.
Leftist love to say “first world problems!” Yes, the first world, brought about by capitalism—though not the current corrupt crony capitalism brought about by leftists worming their way into boardrooms across the country.
Because the uniqueness and good of this country - the freest most prosperous country ever in the history of the world - are not being taught in the schools.
Instead, the Zinn version of history is being disseminated K-university that the U.S. is an evil, racist, homophobic and oppressive country - and now White children are being taught that to hate themselves and that they are irredeemable racists.
An evil, false narrative is being disseminated via Hollywood, the media, television, and most importantly, the schools. These fools have NO idea what is being destroyed and what we stand to lose...or maybe they do.

Do the youth have it that great today given what they are being taught and limits on what they can say in our schools?
Or as Shakespeare said, "There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life. Is bound in shallows and in miseries."
The thing is that even mature Americans don’t appreciate what they have, so we can’t look forward to people outgrowing their youthful ignorance when they grow up any more. Look how fast mature blacks were convinced that they were still really slaves when they thought they were doing just dandy.
