In the end, we get the government we deserve.
around 30 years of ritalin and participation trophies...
Friday ping.
Don’t have to read to comment. Young people tend to be liberal. Liberalism is an unhappy movement. It’s fuel is angst, victimhood, worry, crisis, and predictions of impending doom.
How can followers of such a philosophy be ‘happy’?
Young people are unhappy without Jesus in their lives, without patriotism and love of country, and without the love and discipline and good example of a Christian mother and father.
That’s why.
All salient points.
When these next few generations are dead and gone, it’s going to be very interesting...but I’ll never give up all hope for America. We’re still the best game going - ANYWHERE on Earth! :)
Send them back to 1960. They would have no video games or cell phones, but they could walk to school on their own, play outside without supervision, dive off diving boards at swimming pools, use teeter-totters, merry-go-rounds, jungle gyms and metal slides at parks, etc. And in 1960 "play dates"--arranged appointments for children to spend a few hours playing--were unheard of and the concept would be considered lunacy.
Were I to be transported at the age of nine from the Eisenhower era to today, I would almost certainly quickly become depressed despite all the electronic gee-whizzery available.
I was going to say that they’re so unhappy because they have so little to be truly unhappy about.
Sign of the times now, for a generation and more. Somehow, I think it’ll get even worse as AI begins serious ascendancy.
When they are surrounded by hate, of course, they’re unhappy.
The irony is that inventions have made so many things possible and come true, and made life easier because of it, yet at the same time they have made people into ever bigger exaggerators and complainers.
The more spoiled the more complaining and thinking you’re entitled to things, demanding things and then complaining about micro-details.
The inventions that solidify genius into being also create the worst spoiled and implacable assh0les that ever walked the planet.
Gee, what could it be - almost from kindergarten now, adults are threatening to cut off your body parts, turn them into new fake ones or oppressing you for being “straight”. And when they’re not doing that, the weather is coming to get you (”climate change”). Or they’re going to make women responsible for being mothers again! OMG! Orange Man bad! USA horrible!! Nothing but hysteria every damn day of your young, very impressionable peer-pressured life. DOH!!
Because they don’t have God and Church in their lives.
How about children abandoned by their fathers?
At the same time these people have relished in bad activities that people giving real warnings based on real numbers were stating.
Abortion - 60+ million people dead before being born
STDs - now over 110 million us adults have at least one
Drugs and alcohol - killing people across the spectrum for a whole host of reasons, addicts, criminals, innocent people
Homosexuality/Lesbianism - the worst sickly demographicsaround, self-inflicted
immigrants who don’t assimilate - self explanatory after decades and decades of obvious problems
It’s not the same. Small children need their mothers. It’s not a coincidence that the children born before the ubiquitous working mother didn’t have these problems even if the family was poor and the father had to have long absences because of putting food on the table.

Sadly, these kids are being told not to listen to sources that will give them decent accurate information.
