They’ve been raised in a Godless culture, self-absorbed in soulless media.

They are living contrary to how we are supposed to live.

Because of whom we have taking up residence in the White House?

They sit and stew in a bath of fake news driven to them by media company algorithms that only push the news items and advertising indicating that society is broken. I just spent a few hours with 18-25 year olds in a situation where the phones were packed away in watertight bags and all but one was happy about it. Since the real peer group was face to face, the language was real, emotions were high, loving and funny and not fitting the monitored speak of what they do online. That not drowing on the river was a task for them, they were normal. Everyone needs a bigger opponent than status.

Paul Harvey, from 1964:


If I were the Prince of Darkness I would want to engulf the whole earth in darkness.

I'd have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree.

So I should set about however necessary, to take over the United States.

I would begin with a campaign of whispers.

With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whispers to you as I whispered to Eve, "Do as you please."

To the young I would whisper "The Bible is a myth." I would convince them that "man created God," instead of the other way around. I would confide that "what is bad is good and what is good is square."

In the ears of the young married I would whisper that work is debasing, that cocktail parties are good for you. I would caution them not to be "extreme" in religion, in patriotism, in moral conduct.

And the old I would teach to pray — to say after me — "Our father which are in Washington."

Then I'd get organized.

I'd educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull, uninteresting.

I'd threaten TV with dirtier movies, and vice-versa.

I'd infiltrate unions and urge more loafing, less work. Idle hands usually work for me.

I'd peddle narcotics to whom I could, I'd sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction, I'd tranquilize the rest with pills.

If I were the Devil, I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions; let those run wild.

I'd designate an atheist to front for me before the highest courts and I'd get preachers to say, "She's right."

With flattery and promises of power I would get the courts to vote against God and in favor of pornography.

Thus I would evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, then from the Houses of Congress.

Then in his own churches I'd substitute psychology for religion and deify science.

If I were Satan I'd make the symbol of Easter an egg

And the symbol of Christmas a bottle.

If I were the Devil I'd take from those who have and give to those who wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. Then my police state would force everybody back to work.

Then I would separate families, putting children in uniform, women in coal mines and objectors in slave-labor camps.

If I were Satan I'd just keep doing what I'm doing and the whole world go to hell as sure as the Devil.

The mind rebels against being compelled to discard reason and rational behavior. There is a great deal of psychological trauma in forcing people to accept fantasy over what their eyes and intellect tells them is true.

It’s not that progressives are depressed and unhappy. It’s that depressed and unhappy people become progressives. Being a Progressive is a symptom of having a mental illness.

I have a hard time seeing how this gets turned around.

It's the classic situation of an alcoholic -- you can't be helped until you want to be helped. And these mentally ill, deeply unhappy people seem convinced that they are fine, they don't need help -- you're the problem, not them. You need to change and stop being so racist, so sexist, and so uncaring about Climate Change.

Communist indoctrination is dependent on the cultivation of envy.

Once you eliminate a person's capacity for gratitude for the things, relationships, circumstances they do have and replace it with an obsession over the things they don't have, you have virtually removed that person's ability to ever be happy.

Why Are Young Progressives So Unhappy?

Because they are all Democrats and their beloved Democrat party is one huge depressing, hopeless, negativity dumpster

Because the women’s section and their magazines are now the culture of America and the daily news.

Everything is about neurotic health concerns, crime, dangers, celebrities that you can’t live up to or date, neurotic, high-strung, fearful, and constant emphasis on blending with the herd.

Read a 1960 Time magazine or newspaper, they were mostly focused on the male’s real-world interests and concerns, the kind of news we need if we are going to vote on serious nation-preserving decisions.

Millennials are unhappy because of college debt and a lousy economy. Gen Z is unhappy because they think the world is going to end. Neither had the growth economy that the WWII Generation or even the Boomers had, and if they did, they wouldn’t be equipped to succeed in it, and wouldn’t like it (concerns about the environment, dislike for capitalism). Somewhere out there on the internet, there’s an article about how to be a socialist if you really don’t like people. Two generations of unsocial socialists out there.

Why are young liberals so UNHAPPY? They know some young people didn’t get indoctrinated by the public indoctrination centers, so they can’t take control, yet.

My parents came of age during the Great Depression.

Hard times, hard times.

As a baby boomer, I came of age when times had never been better.

Some called the last stages of the baby boomer generation as the “me” generation.

If you believe evolution is social not physical, then the current generation is the me generation to an exponential power.

A decided lack of moral, responsible adult role models, starting in their family. They have to be very strong to fend off those who are immoral and irresponsible.

America has by and large tossed God to the side. We are being judged. Children are being taught a culture of victimhood that teaches them no matter what, you are a victim or an oppressor because of your skin color. Allowing men to infiltrate everything women. Children especially are angry and upset because there is nothing but confusion everywhere.

Because they are entitled narcissists who don’t know how to be grateful for the blessings they have.
