His entire class applauded when he completed that task. Since I knew how to do that when I was 5, this seems like a moron learning to do something that most of us take for granted.\u00a0I really thought the squirrels around here are smarter.<\/p>\n<p>But I realized, in watching that video, that those kids born between 1998 and 2018 have no clue on how to do anything, including feeding themselves. This is a golden opportunity to take a mind that is a blank sheet of paper and steer it in a more productive direction, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s my considered opinion that they are ripe for the plucking by those who like to corrupt people into doing stupid things. They are directionless, clueless, leaderless and nearly incompetent because they have been coddled their entire lives and will have to be on their own before long, if they aren&#8217;t already there.<\/p>\n<p>Now is the time to grab those empty minds and get them on the track that will keep them from becoming the gullible prey of people like Gore and other corrupt political people. They have enough followers, as we\u2019ve already seen.<\/p>\n<p>These young people aren\u2019t stupid. They are John Locke\u2019s blank slates, ripe for corruption by the most corrupt people you can imagine. They can easily learn how to do something as simple as opening a can of beans. They are simply lost souls.<\/p>\n<p>Note: My disclaimer is that the same generation of kids in my area are generally driven, ambitious, smart, bright, and hard working, and have specific goals for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>But\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5\">this generational naivet\u00e9 is the reason that they\u2019re falling for a strange political ideology called \u2018climate change\u2019 (used to be \u2018global warming\u2019). It\u2019s the reason that Mao Tse-Tung, Pol Pot and other corrupt creatures were so successful. It\u2019s the reason that Hitler\u2019s Brown Shirts grew and the Jugend movement he wanted was so mindlessly enslaved to him. \u00a0It\u2019s the reason that the quack Trofim Lysenko was so quickly accepted by Stalin and made the head of Soviet agriculture, and millions of people starved in the USSR and China because of him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The verbal attacks on climate skeptics and on political conservatives have some of the same characteristics as the Brown Shirt attacks on dissenters and other specific groups in Germany when Hitler was building his Reich.\u00a0 They also display that same kind of fanaticism that is evident in those films of Hitler giving speeches, where his Jugend followers look absolutely hypnotized by him.<\/p>\n<p>Therein lies the real danger: when anyone is misled by turning a branch of science into a political base for a new belief system, a new ideology or a new religion, it is corruption at its most obvious and insidious level, and it depends on the naivet\u00e9 and gullibility of the target audience.<\/p>\n<p>The issue is how to stop it before it gets so bad that it turns into physical attacks. There is no easy answer to that.<\/p>\n<p>This happened in Europe during the rise of the Roman church, which became the Roman Catholic church and gave authority to the Inquisition to destroy people who disagreed with its demands. You caved or you died.<\/p>\n<p>Therein lies the mistake made by these power-hungry, money-grubbing con artists: this isn\u2019t Europe in the 9<sup>th<\/sup> century. This isn\u2019t the Soviet Union under Stalin and it isn\u2019t Mussolini\u2019s Italy (which didn\u2019t last very long), nor is it Hitler\u2019s Reichstag or Mao\u2019s Red China, and it certainly isn\u2019t the Dork From Nork\u2019s Hermit Country. There is not and never has been a dynastic class in this country, no matter how much money those infamous robber barons of the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century made and no matter how much the MSM want it now. They and their families have faded away to a few straggling remainders. The foundations are slowly disappearing. In my view, that is all the losing end of what was once a sweeping grab of power in the European manner, and the world no longer works that way.<\/p>\n<p>We are not peasants with no minds of our own, and those millennials who seem so laughably inept aren\u2019t quite the mindless drones they seem to be, either.<\/p>\n<p>If you were around back in 1960, you may recall Jack Kennedy\u2019s simple message in his inauguration speech: ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. This is a message they haven&#8217;t heard just yet. It needs to be thrown at them now, today.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of letting them be fruit loops, point them in the direction of being productive, having something to show for the time they spend, and always clean up after themselves. That\u2019s a skill set they seem to have missed.<\/p>\n<p>In spite of what you may think, while the military can be a harsh mistress, it can also get lost souls to straighten up if it\u2019s done in a rigid enough manner. \u00a0I read up on the history of Women Marines. It seems that the USMC women\u2019s boot camp in 1967 was far harsher and more tight-assed than anything I saw at RTC(W) Bainbridge, right up to Carter\u2019s interference in the world, and a lot harsher than it is today. \u00a0But it certainly did build those women into cohesive units.<\/p>\n<p>And if you will recall, during the Depression, the Roosevelt administration started work programs like the WPA, PWA, and CCC to get people back to work. My understanding of the CCC is that it was run like a military program. What a way to prepare people to defend their country!<\/p>\n<p>Maybe this is what we need now \u2013 something that puts this clueless, directionless, leaderless group to work, gives them a purpose, and gets them to stop throwing temper tantrums at the Sky Gods.<\/p>\n<p>There is, of course, an alternative, which is that we send them all to Dave Hardin\u2019s house for pre-bootcamp indoctrination before they\u2019re shipped off to Parris Island.<\/p>\n<p>Just an idea I thought I\u2019d throw at you all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, I watched an idiotic video of a millennial trying to open a can of beans &hellip; <a title=\"Seems Like the Times That Try Men&#8217;s Souls&#8230;.\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=77206\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Seems Like the Times That Try Men&#8217;s Souls&#8230;.<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":653,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[209],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-teh-stoopid"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=77206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77206\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=77206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=77206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=77206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
