Kids today think the word “cope” is a Hate term. If you tell a kid to “learn to cope”, they will come unhinged. Everything gives them “crippling anxiety”. They need therapists and psych drugs to survive.
So the agencies that were built to police individual vocations are now being used to warp those vocations to exert someone’s idea of control over all of us.
The only thing that gives me hope is mother’s theory of the pendulum swing of societies. Society is at its most rational for the shortest time as the pendulum of opinions passes thru the middle. When it reaches one extreme or the other, it stays stuck there for a while until the extremism of the other side forces it back and, again, for an instant, it will be normal.
Surely we’re getting near that time when our own right extreme will be pulling back the left extreme so that we might see another short time of rational normalacy in this country.
