“...once opposition is eliminated.”

That’s Boomers and Christians.

Wait until the late Boomers retire in a handful of years. All the infrastructure and production jobs they’re now doing, quietly and effectively, will all be in the hands of Xers, Millennials and Z’s. The Boomers’ great store of knowledge, experience and skill will be gone. Will be interesting to watch.

If 60 is the new 40 then 35 must be the new 15. Raise the minimum ages for POTUS-VPOTUS and all of Congress and do it soon!

That’s because they were “educated” under the Obama regime.

These views did not arrive in the heads of youth by chance. They were put there primarily by the government school system.

If one is still OK with allowing one’s children to be brainwashed in that system, one is part of the problem.

There’s nothing wrong with capitalism
There’s nothing wrong with free enterprise
Don’t try to make me feel guilty
I’m so tired of hearing you cry

There’s nothing wrong with making some profit
If you ask, I’ll say it’s just fine
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to live nice
So tired of hearing you whine
About the revolution, bringing down the rich
When was the last time you dug a ditch, baby

If it ain’t one thing, then it’s the other
Any cause that crosses your path
Your heart bleeds for anyone’s brother
I’ve got to tell you, you’re a pain in the ass
You criticize with plenty of vigor
You rationalize everything that you do
With catchy phrases and heavy quotations
And everybody is crazy but you

You’re just a middle class, socialist brat
From a suburban family and you never really had to work
And now you tell me that we’ve got to get back
To the struggling masses, whoever they are
You talk, talk, talk about suffering and pain
Your mouth is bigger than your entire brain
What the hell do you know about suffering and pain you dumb ___?

There’s nothing wrong with capitalism
There’s nothing wrong with capitalism
There’s nothing wrong with capitalism
There’s nothing wrong with capitalism

That’s what you get after 30 years of commie indoctrination in the public schools. 🙄

I find that this is the ultimate lack of self-awareness. Complete cognitive dissonance.

Never has a generation of young Americans been so tied to material things and "stuff". Their whole self-identity is tied to Facebook, Amazon, what their friends are doing, and what brand of gear and swag that they tote around. They prostrate themselves before the altar of capitalism with every breath they take. They are the ultimate consumers of all which capitalism produces, and yet they disavow it. Cognitive dissonance.

If they couldn't have their "stuff", provided by a capitalist society, they would be lined up in front of psychiatric clinics seeking emergency treatment.

That is certainly true. Nobody alive in the US has ever enjoyed capitalism.

The younger generations have grown up under cronyism, bailouts and typical lobbisim, artificial interest rates, massive debt, etc. The idea of accountability and sound money, norms in a capitalistic system, went out of favor decades ago.

There is always Capitalism, because there is always Capital.

They question is how is the Capital distributed and controlled. Is it controlled by the State (Communism), or is it consolidated in the ends of a few Oligarchs.

We advocate “Free Enterprise” which is a distribution of Capital amongst private individuals that rewards personal initiative.

Young adults wouldn’t know a capitalist from a Seventh Day Adventist. They just say stuff they think they should say without giving it any thought. The tragic part of it is that they love their cell phones, internet, junk food and video games but are throwing it all away to create a world of privation, suffering and oppression. Then it will be too late to save anything.

#1 this is proof that brainwashing and propaganda works.

#2 the country will not survive this and subsequent generations.

How about getting rid of current corporatism capitalism with monopolies by trust busting and establishing a reasonably regulated Free Market economy encouraging entrepreneurs, small businesses and access to private property?

That’s what they’ve been taught. And, that’s what they’ve texted about on their $1000 phones...

Idiots. We are so far down the rabbit hole...

As another poster said on another thread....

Me and Bobby McGee by Kris Kristofferson

....And I’d trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin’ Bobby’s body next to mine

Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose
Nothin’ left is all she left for me
Feelin’ good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
And buddy, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
