I don’t disagree, CNN, but as an observer of social decay, I can tell you definitively that a majority of this generation’s kids are completely disconnected from politics. These people can be easily cowed and turned into socialist Liberals.
Think about it, Liberalism is very attractive to most people in the world. It means you don’t have to work. You can play video games and get fat. You can live with your parents. You can go anywhere you want on public transportation. Everything you want to do can be subsidized and nothing you do will be held to account for anything. You won’t be judged or criticized. It’s utopian.
One problem: money. As soon as the producers among us decide we’re no longer “putting in” to the system, they suddenly have nothing. So long as they get what they want, like a spoiled child, they won’t cry.

Point you made is so true, my generation don’t want to read good books, analyses, probability of if and what, all they care is get with a girl or a man, nice TV show and watch sport. I like sport, but I know my limits, for them is just game.
Serious geo political issues are around us, have been for many centuries, but game is changed. With Thermo Nuclear, biological, chemical capabilities, we are in state of ... who pushes a switch first.
With agendas as important to push abhorrent behavior, with hate attacking those who believe in truth, with armies getting ready, all they want to do is have some fun.
While politicians and ambassadors are talking of peace, armies are preparing for war.
Merci.
