A brilliant review of our current dystopia that ends with “there is always hope.” As has been said many times before, however, “hope is not a strategy.” The fact is that World War III began in the 60’s when the education industry embraced the works of Karl Marx as a framework to indoctrinate the young into a Manichaean world of oppressed…
A brilliant review of our current dystopia that ends with “there is always hope.” As has been said many times before, however, “hope is not a strategy.” The fact is that World War III began in the 60’s when the education industry embraced the works of Karl Marx as a framework to indoctrinate the young into a Manichaean world of oppressed and oppressor. In the pursuit of better profits, the business community shipped the future of the working class young overseas, effectively eliminating hope in vast parts of the country. The creation of the internet and social media destroyed the guardrails of community standards as guides to acceptable behavior and personal responsibility. Worst of all, meritocracy as a criteria of electing those who run the government disappeared, producing demonstrably incompetent individuals selected because they represented an “oppressed” community. We live in a time best described by another as one of “intellectual sloth and moral cowardice.” This will not be addressed by arguing over who is more dangerous: Biden of Trump. It will require far more drastic action. We must stop electing and appointing demonstrable idiots, we must stop supporting business that utilize slave labor and fill their management ranks hoping to gain approval from the DEI believers (who will never approve, thanks the point). We must recognize that social media has resulted in far more deaths that drugs or guns, which are prohibited to those under 18. Most important of all, we must stop allowing our children to be indoctrinated and stupefied by a demonstrably Marxist education system. The real question is whether we have the will to do this. That remains to be seen.
I think you prove my point, Steven. Prior to the spread of social media, Tik Tok, WhatsApp, etc., teenage suicide was rare and young kids going on rampages and killing schoolmates was unheard of. Sneaking a beer with your friends was really stretching the boundaries. Today, kids are gobbling pharmaceuticals like breath mints and dying of fentanyl overdoses. This is not due to the internet itself, it is due to the alternate reality that it creates.
