So I take it that “swiping left or right” is not doing it for them?

Good.

There’s a lot of young folks that are aware of the commie propaganda. I’ve met them and have seen them in the media. Let’s not give up hope people. We have to help them to have courage.

CS Lewis, in “The Four Loves,” writes that authoritarian control becomes easier when men lack true friends:


And there is the echo to the 2nd amendment.

“A well regulated militia......................

the 2nd is not about guns.

Men,

Put a fridge in your garage, fill it with beer, light the fire and find the other warriors around you.

NOW!

BS. They talk to each other 24/7 on their cell phones when they’re not “hooked up” together. This is crazy.

Hint: This isn’t a pandemic issue. It was bound to happen. The ones that don’t feel lonely probably have terrible parents that made them do egregious things like making them go out side and play with friends instead of sitting on the couch texting each other in the same room.

.......according to recent articles I’ve read Harvard is now seen as near 100% PURE WOKE ............so any “study” with Harvard’s name on it should be used to line the bottom of parakeet pages not taken seriously.

Fauci knew that these masks were useless against the Coof. He stated so at the very beginning. Yet he changed his tune and pushed for mask mandates anyway. It was a matter of control.

I have a couple of teenage relatives who won’t remove their masks at any social gatherings. I find it very disturbing. Yet I’m more concerned about how the mask and isolation mandates have impacted the socialization skills among the children than the teenagers and young adults.

This aptly describes the situation students find themselves in; lots of talk about togetherness that is really a facade for conformity. You must agree—or become an outcast.


There is their talking.

Fauci March, 2020- masks do not work, they just make emotional people feel better… like sucking your thumb.

Fauci privately advised Obama staffers to NOT wear masks: as ‘Not Effective’. February 4th, 2020.

Agree, let them suffer with their self imposed lifestyle. Their drug of choice is the daily propaganda feed coming from their cell phones. Swipe Left, Swipe Right. Other than that they have ZERO social skills or basic mechanical ability to even screw in a light bulb.

The funniest thing I saw a while ago was a Wokester on his cell phone looking up instructions on how to change a flat tire. Best part was when he asked his partner, “what does the jack look like and what are the lug nuts?”

Surely, the mask mandates were stupid and insulting - but to argue that they emotionally crippled a generation is hyperbole, if you ask me.

Most healthy-minded people, young or old, resented the masks, and ripped them off their faces the minute they left whatever building that required them.

Anyone who did not, and happily wore them in their cars, their homes or outside, was a moron - already an emotional cripple long before Covid ever came along.

Children from normal families, who played maskless outside with friends, and enjoyed their family time without the face diapers - these children had plenty of normal mask-free social interaction.

Frankly, the masks were an outrage - but there are far worse outrages being forced on school children and over-compliant citizens in shops and workplaces.

The real threat to our young people is Marxism - woke gender confusion, cooked-up racial division, America Last border and energy policies, globalist economic suicide, war mongering, stolen elections, wholly corrupted media and academia - to name just a few.

Feb. 24, 2022 — A union representing flight attendants called to extend an illegal rule requiring passengers to wear useless face masks ( that do not block a virus ) on planes.. Association of Flight Attendants.. because not all of the youngest passengers have been forced to take the experimental / vaxx / bio- weapon. Poison.

I have 4 kids—when the pandemic hit, they were 23, 21, 17, and 14. The older ones have jobs now but have never worked in an office, and long to. The two younger ones have been in “remote” school for a year each and then masked for an entire year after that. Their lives changed entirely.

Last week the now 16 and 19 year old have finally unmasked. It’s agonizing. Teens and young adults have been hit hard. They sacrificed a lot for those who are 85+.
