Thanks to leftists, we are doing lasting harm to our children: we are making them into weaklings. It is an insidious form of child abuse, done in plain sight. We are denying them the most important trait necessary for living happy, successful, and meaningful lives: courage.
Life is difficult. It's impossible to sail through life on smooth seas. Loss, frustration, heartbreak, struggle, disappointment, and suffering happen to everyone.
We see widespread panic on college campuses these days about "micro-aggressions." Students openly admit they can't tolerate things that even they grant are micro.
At our local university (Humboldt State), students are provided therapy dogs to help them cope with the stress of finals week. I was born too soon.

Jordan Peterson says, "If you over-coddle people, you make them dull and narcissistic."
Unfortunately, it's easier to make children spineless than to make them brave. "Tough love" is much harder to give than wimp love. Wimp love isn't love; it's cowardice.
The left's efforts to weaken our young people have been going on for decades. Why? Weak children become weak adults, who willingly obey vaccine and mask mandates and other senseless dictates meant to crush our freedoms.
A power struggle is raging between America's ruling class and individual Americans. There's only so much power to go around. It's a zero-sum game. For the left, power is what it's all about. It's a fight to the political death. It's a fight we must win and one we can win.
Thankfully, individual courage is the enemy of the ruling class, as are freedom, the family, religion, and truth. They are the keys to victory because they all empower the individual American at the expense of America's ruling class.

Leftists are greatly helped by parents, weak themselves, who project the same onto their children.
Weak children will not become adults who will take up arms to resist and overthrow tyranny.
Problem solved
Good article and perfect image for it.
Up here in the mountains where I live, kids are still taught to be fiercely self sufficient, courageous, and resourceful. They swim in freezing creeks, not heated pools, they drive Jeep’s and pickup trucks, not Ferraris, and they sing and strum Blue Grass, not Rap. Our boys wear jeans and Carhartts, not skinny pants. Girls can climb trees, mountain bike, and paddle the rapids, but still cook, and be gracious southern hostesses.
Believe me, kids are always going to be kids. Many are a lot more perceptive than we think. Our 12 year-old got in trouble earlier this year for writing “Confused gender bathroom” on the schools newly designated “All gender bathroom”.
because they think 1984 described utopia
Thanks. Of course the different tiers of society mandate college education to make you a full fledged Democrat.
Those that attend college on-line or not at all will be the one’s to pick up the pieces. Will we feed them, the useless ones who caused the damage or will we abandon them and their city-states by denying tax dollars for subways, parks, and the arts? Shall we really wish to make a show of the difference, we might stop the trucks and derail the trains, and wreck the Interstate Exit Exchanges.... and force them to fend for themselves as they have been doing to us in the country side’s.
This began back in 1968 after the murder of Bobby Kennedy. It was decided by “the powers that be” that boys needed to become less masculine and more feminine to make them “less violent”.
I believe that was when the schools started giving active boys pills to “calm them down”.
A most excellent article. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
