The “American Dream” means many things to many different people, but it generally meant; work hard, do right, live comfortably, and live better than your parents and leave a better world for your children. For the millenials that dream is dead. It is, and they are to blame for a good chunk of it because they don’t have the “work hard” component.
In the history of civilization, America has been an anomaly, because the American Dream was attainable to so many who sought it. For most of human history, society consisted of three tiers: one-tenth of one percent of hereditary aristocracy, who ran everything and lived in luxury. Then there was about 10% literate “scribes” who served the aristocracy and made the society work. They were allowed to create the wealth and touch a little bit of it, but were not allowed to actually own it. Finally, there was everyone else; a mass of mostly ignorant and illiterate people who were more or less seen as expendable things rather than people. They tilled the soil and in times of war, were the fodder for the army.
The America of old was not like that; we had mass education, where literate, and prosperous. But not anymore. It is the deliberate plan of the globalists to return us to that “state of nature” that so long existed. The real American Dream among the millenials to translate their parents middle class status into the 10% scribe status, because once you fall into the “masses,” you aren’t getting out of that pit.
I’m going to be blunt and say that if someone isn’t willing to take initiative and pick up a book to read and learn, that is not the fault of the global elites. In the past, things were laid out in profusion and we had a lot of freely shown opportunities. now, things are no longer so easy and we have to take more initiative and I wonder if that is the root cause of a lot of discontent. Things are no longer handed to our youth, like direction and so many other things. Now they’re freaking out because it’s no longer so simple and straightforward and they can’t take too much time out of life to find themselves.
