Our young people are being poisoned by wokesters and the country may never be the same.
Have you read George Orwell's perennially popular and spookily prescient book Animal Farm?
Written in 1945, it is recognized as one of the most foundational books of the 20th century and the book's satire vs. the reality of today is striking. The story tells of farm animals who collectively decided they would no longer give their productive efforts for the benefit of the farm family. The animals drove out the farmer. Then they divided up the "profits" of the farm to each animal, purportedly according to its needs. After the overthrow of the farmers, the pigs ultimately became the new overseers and enslaved the lesser animals.
Animal Farm addresses the problem of who believe society is unfair and are convinced in their own minds that there must be a better way. Except there isn't. The moral of the story is that collectivism and socialism do not work.
It takes intellectual rigor to avoid making the same mistakes repeatedly. It is challenging especially for the young and those who:
a. Did not acquire a good grounding in reason or academic discipline through education
b. Have never experienced real suffering or failure
c. Have been deprived of appropriate role models
Yet, warts and all, since our country was created, we've seen an unbroken string of generally successful adults, until recently.
Where did we go wrong, and how can we fix our shortcomings?
We all want our children and families to enjoy happiness, health, and success. Yet too often, there is no good life plan or clear direction. What has changed for so many who don't seem to be able to make a go of their lives anymore, while most of us over 40 made it?

This is how mass formation psychosis happens. People need to openly reject it and ridicule it because it has no way to fight reason.
I’ve noticed that even the definition of socialism has changed. Some of the younger generation have been told that socialism is simply the govt paying for things like libraries, etc. Nothing about transfer of wealth.
And we puzzle over how the Germans could fall under Hitler’s spell. Human’s are infinitely capable of irrational delusion. Especially when they’re bullied into it.
Our world has become a strange mixture of 1984, Animal House, and Brave New World.
They no longer read this book (or 1984) in school. It should still be required reading.
Hard to change the definition of “Hunger”. If you can’t grow food, buy food, find food and the world governments are successful at eliminating all current sources of food supplies, you WILL know hunger. What little food there will be is surely going to be reserved for the ruling class....but not you. IF you join a gardening club or online social media site that shares gardening tips and ideas, there will come a day when government will not just be looking to take your guns, they will be looking to take your food too. You know...because “you didn’t grow that...somebody else made that happen” is the mantra of barack that made it so and it will be confiscated for the good of all mankind. Wondering now how “hunger” will be redefined so it sounds more palatable to the huddled masses. At least more palatable than “you VILL eat ze bugs!”.
Hunger has already been redefined with the Terri schiavo(?) case as euphorically compassionate way to die
I have seen people define Socialism as being socially active.
But I live next to a college town
For Germany very easy. The NSDAP delivered on every major item on its domestic policy platform. All of the things the other non revolutionary party’s kept stumbling around and mumbling about ‘difficulties’ and ‘complexities’ and opposing ‘impossible simplicities’ happened like ligtening. The economy stabalised, large scale public works and remilitarization programs boomed the capital goods sector, general public immorality was squashed (the throngs of whores of both and trans types that made catching a train a bad scene vanished,) schools changed to emphasize good citizenship, common brotherhood, and decent behavior. The ‘new Germany’ quit apologising constantly and became a clearly assertive national power. The problem of perpetual illegal immigration from the east and south east was clamped down on and virtually ended. Hitler also proved himself to be the most formidable national leader since Bismarck and by results of his foreign diplomacy the man who was creating the ‘unbreakable super nation’, Some traditionalists and liberal civil liberties types and some Christian types didn’t the harsh subtext of the Reich but they were numerically insignificant. In the words of an American observer,’The people of Germany feel they have a real future not mere survival, and that is what none of the other countries in Europe with the possible exception of Italy, have.
For decades Americans have been a partially fake narrative about WW2 and its coming. Americans were told the German’s obeyed out of fear not at all they obeyed because they strongly identified with the NSDAP as the savior of the country. German’s didn’t fight as really well as they did at the squad level out of fear as the Soviets often did, they fought hard and well out of conviction and patriotism. We should our ‘woke’ military would be a quarter as brave and well motivated.
One reason why we have so many developmental problems now is the pervasiveness of substance abuse such as the massive amount of fentanyl crossing our borders which has become proof of an undeclared war against us. And so is the sedition, subversion, and treacherous behavior of those knowingly subverting our young and our institutions. These destroyers possess the complete knowledge and foresight for the destruction of our society they hope to achieve. We’ve endured these attacks for so long that we never seem to understand that our way of life is under a relentless and violent attack. By the hundreds and thousands, our people die at the hands of these destroyers each day through suicide, drug overdoses, and by making other tragic life decisions. Millions more never reach their potential.
We should understand that the people behind these actions commit prosecutable crimes by advocating for our country’s effective overthrow and dissolution. Advocating the overthrow of the United States is a high crime, punishable by 20 years in prison. ( 18 U.S. Code § 238.) We dare not let this stand.
We are witnessing the destruction of our country daily. Where is the national debate on what to do to defeat the destroyers? I support a national debate on the legality of wokeism, which is destroying us as surely as if we had been nuked. We must unmask those who intentionally sell what amounts to intellectual fentanyl before our young are all gone!
The siren song of social media is almost as destructive and deadly as shooting someone in the head. Wokeism is not just wrong or misguided; it is promoted by treacherous individuals, organizations, and countries that have deliberately invaded the psyches of millions. It takes away their independence and their American legacy, replacing those principles with a belief in false prophets. With fentanyl easing their pain, unearned money to keep their bellies filled, and leisure time spent in aimless pursuit of social media acceptance, their lot is misery. Those who knowingly did this to our young must be punished within the bounds of our Constitution. We must have the guts to recognize the treachery and respond before it’s too late.
The conspirators win if we remain passive and disbelieving in what we know to be true and correct. The other side understands what they are doing. They rely on our system of liberal government and maintain that their work is nothing more than protected free speech. It is not. This is no ordinary thief. We have been infiltrated by a cabal of unknown origin who work daily against us, using our protections to hide in plain sight while daring us to hold them accountable. They take our money as consumers. Universities and NGOs take grant money from our government and use it to sharpen their knives. They celebrate how they have manipulated so very many of us. They are like fleas you can’t get rid of for fear of killing the host.
Think I’m over the top? If you are over 40, remember how we used to live. Put aside the mistakes we made but recall the successes, achievements, and good our country has been able to accomplish in the past: all that is now a quickly receding memory.
There is no easy way forward, but there is one legitimate way forward. We must stop those hiding in our midst from continuing to destroy us under the guise of free speech. Are we farm animals, or do we wish to be Americans again? The choice is ours.
Leftists are elitists, and they can’t help themselves.

This essay doesn’t post on the transnational ruling class that is determined to break the normative American people as a key element in their goal of creating a new universal empire that has absorbed all the advanced states of the northern hemisphere, for starters.
They have figure out that you can cheat much easier if you are the gate keeper and or rule maker.
Especially if you have a group of like minded chests.
Plus you can keep anyone out who would or could get in your way.
Speak the truth loud and clear even if it makes them cry. If that fails, be like Sean Connery and biotch slap them, https://twitter.com/realNateEwing/status/1609024461843623939
I am 78 — that’s important, as it tells you something about the world I grew up in.
My granddaughter is a freshman in an ivy college; her brother is finishing high school this year. They are muchly head-down, pecking on their “devices,” most of the time. They are deferentially polite enough, but they don’t “connect” very deeply — hard to characterize... They’re both pretty smart.
Two years ago, for Christmas, I gave the both four books.
Brave New World, 1984, Animal Farm, and Fahrenheit 451.
This year, before Christmas gift-buying season began, I asked my daughter, their mother, how they had reacted to those books.
She said, “Oh, I confiscated them. They never saw them I substituted other things as gifts from you. That stuff is way beyond them, and is inflammatory and has a bad attitude — very dark and unhealthy.”
(I did not react well to this.)
This year, I gave the kids nice tool kits, and I gave my daughter a gift-wrapped box of strike-anywhere blue tip matches.
(I’m waiting for a response.)
(I’m gonna have a long wait, methinks.)
(I’m trying to figure a way to reach them — and not having much luck. The shields are up and strong.
Well, this is certainly one area where the Republican = Nazi allegation breaks down. :)
Yet whites are cowards and refuse to stand up and protect themselves or families.
