Excellent analysis.

I am sure these so-called educators would be just thrilled if the student had taken down the Stars and Stripes and stuffed it in a garbage can. We have our work cut out for us, don’t we?

Yes we can all find examples of idiots.

The larger point is that these idiots are actively arguing a false promise of socialist utopia while daemonizing capitalism. The young people to whom they appeal are often alienated by what can be an intimidating capitalist ideology that demands one be productive. They are missing that this ideology also allows the productive to own the fruits of their productivity.

I’d wager that most of those in that video were US citizens being subjected to the seductive false promise of social utopia. I contend that the best weapon against this lie of socialism is the truth of individual liberty and private property. If we start from the assumption that every person of Latino descent is unwilling to even hear the truth - we’ve created a self fulfilling prophecy.

Conservatives freed slaves, and ended segregation - yet allowed Democrats to define them as bigoted racists. After 50 years of lies, there is a bit of evidence that the black coalition may be in danger. This election cycle there are 35 black Republican Congressional Candidates - each of them is more conservative than the “typical” Republican.

I’m hopeful that the left isn’t successful in defining
Conservatives as single minded bigots who view All Latinos as welfare hogging enemies of the state - and I certainly wish we didn’t make it so easy for them.
