“You Will Own Nothing and You Will Be Happy”? – The Great Reset
One reason I am quiet about my libertarian politics when my faculty lounge progressive daughter and commie son-in-law are around me... They are not yet 30. If they persist in such foolishness for longer than 3 more years, I will have to accept the bitter truth that I raised a moron.
LOL!
Yea, I was raised in a very conservative home, but rebelled when I went to college and embraced a very liberal outlook, maybe due to the people I was around, or the age. As I slid into my 30’s and saw how the world worked, or when it failed to work, I gravitated back to the middle, and then even further right. By my 40s I was back to pretty traditional conservative, like my parents.
Wear a mask. Socially isolated. Get all your validation via TikTok. Use electric uber cars. Recycle your cans. And vote for Bernie. The government will keep you alive forever.
Communists infiltrated government schools, MSM, colleges and the Democrat Party decades ago. None of this leftist stuff just happened suddenly, it was organically grown.
It is how they have been taught. They sit in pods instead of individually at desks and every project is a group project.
From pre k through grad school
That generation are known as Moronials for a reason
Kids today collect mental illnesses like we collected baseball cards
Want to bet it was done by anyone other than a Trump voter(s)?
Or, as someone once said... “Youth is wasted on the young”
I missed where he said what the psychological disparities are.
The ideas which led to the clash of individualism vs. collectivism in America were imported from Germany by intellectuals in our universities over a century ago.
Ideas move the world, slowly. To save this country requires an ideological change in the philosophy departments of our best colleges. But those departments won’t hire philosophers who believe ideas even matter. That’s how rotted the system is. Rotted to the root.
“Maybe if human beings lived longer lives they would realize how common such conflicts are and view the repetition with less panic.”
That is one of the aspects of living nearly 70 years. You are fortunate enough to see several cycles.
...and looking forward to getting out of them.
God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. If people want a Godless society, then they get a Godless society. People get the kind of government they deserve (because of their behavior).
This exactly why we get such evil people as Obama, AOC, Rachel Rollins, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Acosta, Chris Cuomo, Brian Stelter, Rachel Maddow, etc., ad nauseum.
There are plenty of leftist Gen Z’ers; I know, I used to see their leftist crap on Facebook before I dumped it. Leftists are adolescents who never fully mature to the point that they realize someone other than themselves sets the rules.
That I am not too concerned with, AP...
We had those mental illnesses too! Just un-diagnosed and only treated with the psychotropics we had available at the time... My preferred was weed, Jack Daniels, and driving motorcycles really fast... I would have preferred girls, but finding a friendly one didn’t happen for the first 10 years I was looking.
Kids self-diagnose these days. Some of them collect more than one. Kids today get PTSD because they had to ride the bus to school.
