It appears that some don't understand, "Special Snowflake" Syndromes. Also interesting that some clearly understand.
 
The special snowflakes in the news lately are on prescribed meds and playing 1st shooter video games 24/7. They are snowflakes because someone is supporting them, and they probably feel justified in that. They are special because they are training to be drugged up killers. But will the video game companies or pharmaceuticals be held accountable? NOOO. Let's medicate the younger generation and stick them in front of screens. They will shoot the heck out of some gun free zone and then yell, "Game Over".
I personally am staying away from crowds and gun free zones.

I would also like to hear from @VirginPrepper for his idea of a "Special Snowflake" Syndromes an what it means to him, so we all can be on the same page.

Special Snowflakes are made by parents. I should point out that the parent is doing what they think is best, they raise the child the way they think is perfect for the child. It starts before birth, with long loving conversation telling the unborn child that it is special, that no harm will ever come to them, the best of everything is what they deserve because they are special.

Fast forward........if the child gets an A- grade when they should have gotten a D- grade, the parent will race to the school and demand their child be given an A+ grade. Everything the child does it gets a gold star. The child is constantly told they are special, and mommy and daddy will see that nothing bad ever happens in their life. If some kid hurts their feeling the run to mommy and she goes to that child's parent and demand their child apologize, or they will sue them. Essentially the child is raised in an altered reality. The child is constantly told they are special.

Special Snowflakes, are so easily offended, that everything you say will likely offend them......well the exception is if you tell them they are "Special".

At some point the child discovers they are just another young human, just like thousands of other young humans. They are not special, they can't hold a job because they expect a gold start, and a half hour of praise for everything they do at work. Then are totally unprepared for work environment, social environment, pretty much unprepared for anything other then staying home with mommy. They are even unprepared to date. They expect to be praised for how the kiss, dress, walk, everything they want to be praised.......and the expect everything to be given to them. When they were growing up everything they asked for was given to them, because they were special.

Now......it is my opinion that they can't handle any rejection. And it is my opinion that is part of the key to the mass murders in schools. Also my opinion that when they are exposed to reality.......some kill their parents.

Now here is where it gets frosty in a post SHTF catastrophic event. They only ever had to ask for things and it was given because they are special. They totally believe they are special, they should never be cold or wet or hot or hungry or rejected or humiliated, etc..

They are also skilled snakes, a tool they use to get what they want. Now these very nice, clean, polite "Special Snowflakes" knock on your door and ask for food, or shelter. They are not likely to just walk away if you say NO. And in my opinion, God help you if you let them into your home in a Post SHTF event. You are trusting and living with a snake. I think they will be some of the worse to deal with. Largely because they as so deceptive, and delusional about reality, then add that they are special.

Now remember that you could also get a visit from their parent, who will do anything to get what they want for their "Special Snowflake".

If you have not figured it out......all snowflakes (the ones that fall from the sky) are unique, there have never been two exactly the same......each snowflake is unique and special.

How tragically true.

To add insult to injury, schools perpetuated and compounded the problem with participation trophies and ribbons, from Kindergarten on up.

Looking back on history, I don't think there has ever been an entire generation of children who have grown up with a strange sense of entitlement. Once upon a time, that was reserved for wealthy or privileged classes of people, but never an entire generation like we see now. They are beyond dysfunctional.
 
VP & Grizzleyette :Very well stated and right on the mark. The special snowflakes are the most dangerous in my opinion. 10 percent of the population will be the wolves. 10 percent will be the sheepdogs and 60 percent will be the Special Snowflakes and sheep. Now you wonder if I can't add or missed something. The missing 20 percent are preppers. I speak for myself but I do think most preppers fall into this category. 20 percent will be preppers who stay off to the side and rebuild the country. They will eliminate any wolves coming into their area but will not go out in search of them. No militia types, scouting patrols, or Armed MAG's. They will not attempt to save the lost sheep or Special Snowflakes. They will do what is required and simply move forward. The Snowflakes and sheep will likely perish. The majority of wolves will perish. Some of the preppers will perish but in the end, the preppers will be the one's left standing and building.

Pretty good assessment. I think they will be most dangerous in the beginning and mostly to other snowflakes and their parent snowflake creators. They will be manipulative and subtle because as you stated they have been collecting those skills their whole lives. Long term (a few months at best) they will perish. Many of them with a more competent core will turn into more obvious wolves and last longer while making life "sporty" for the rest of us. Lots of the soft hearted are gonna be hustled by these snowflakes.

Yes......true.
Being a good "Christian", and helping your fellow man, will be up close to suicide as primary cause of death.
 
That was funny.......sad.....but funny. Now imagine that of the 50 people in the survival group 20 are like her. OK.....OK... lets try 10 are like her.....Hmmmm.....OK let's say that 5 are like her......could you handle one....like her in the survival group. I'll bet she would be all kicks and giggles after five days of no food, no shower, no double mocha coffee.
 
@VirginPrepper thank you and yes i feel your a right, they feel thay need everything handed to them on a silver platter, for example



I enjoyed that, thank you. I have to admit I really do not run into many Snowflakes, and especially Special Snowflakes in my life. They just do not seem to enjoy the same things I do, like working, fishing, gardening, being outside....

This came up as a suggested video after I finished the one above. It presents another Special Snowflake ( I admit I also did not know there was more than one kind of Snowflake) running into issues while trying to run her business.

 
Doubt most will last weeks, forget months or a year.
By the time the dust settles, only the strong, armed persons will be a problem to any homesteader.
If you have never made bread on an open fire, then planting wheat & corn might be beyond you scope.
Forget growing, harvesting, storing,milling & baking.
The little red hen.
 
We had a snowflake to deal with today. She was reminded to not leave her 2-3 year old child alone (out of her line of sight). That child then put up a fuss, screaming and crying because now mommy had to hold or hold the hand of the child and it was now the fault of my boss who had given the reminder. My child wouldn't be crying like this if you had let her be there alone. Seriously. I see it EVERY DAY.
 
The only problem with all the Snowflakes melting, at th beginning of a SHTF event, is the flash flood that will wash away some good folks too.
 
Here is a Special Snowflake reacting to a Trump banner that she saw on May 9, 2017 at Western Washington University at Bellingham, Washington, USA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PNvLESU0EE



Here is another Special One at a Trump rally:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ec8XZLAckA


I'm still laughing at some of the comments on the Youtube video page for that second one...

I happen to be fluent in Snowflakian. Allow me to translate- "I'm MELTINNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!"

Satan kicked her out of Hell for keeping him awake.

this is why aliens don't visit us.

Now that's the strongest Liberal argument I've heard. Very consistent.

Eventually she'll tire out and need a binkie.

she only wanted someone to take her to the toilet

give her a participation trophy

they do this more often than you would think. Youtube "sjw cringe" "or sjw meltdown" or "sjw compilation" you won't regret it.

It Is amazing how actually SAFE she was in this group, when, if she was ONE Trump supporter among a hundred antifa, she would be VERY UNSAFE.

Wow! Notice how she wasn't silenced, beat down, hacked with signs, kicked with jack boots, shot, raped, or stabbed among all the intolerant, bigoted, hate filled racist Trump supporters! Instead she was joyfully mocked and drowned in a sea of awesome!

Tantrums. Not just for toddlers anymore.

OK, those two are young Snowflakes. Here is an older one. We have all seen this kind floating around the internet:



G-A: (shortened you I.D. --- too easy for me to do typo's). I have know folks like your video, unfortunately. BUT the video was very funny and so very true. Thanks for the post.
 
Ha ha! I first saw that video on another forum that has a couple of resident SJWs who were so loud and obnoxious that more than a few people were leaving the site because of the constant draaaaama their threads were causing.

Out of exasperation, someone started a thread with that video, saying. "I know someone like this..." It had so many "likes" that I thought the internet was going to break from the excess load.

What was so sad: the resident chief SJW didn't see herself in that video at all. I don't think any of them do. They seem to be like horses with blinders on, with a limited range of vision. Therein lies the danger of Special Snowflakes: one track mind and oblivious to reason.

Come to think of it...many are almost as bad as drug crazed zombies.

When the SHTF, I have a "Special Program for the Special Snowflakes. It is called NO PRISONERS, NO HANDOUTS and NO ASSOCIATION. They need to just stay out of range and we will get along just fine.
 
In an SHTF scenario, will the gangs survive the urban warfare, or will most of them be wiped out fighting each other? I doubt there will be many gangs left....but the ones that do survive will be very dangerous. The question is, are they going to leave the urban environment and hit the countryside? I would think they'll stay in the cities for the most part....out in the country they would be out of their element and the good ole boys would pick them off like flies.

I do think a few, not many, gang will survive and will stay in the cities / urban area. They will collect slaves (snowflakes and semi-liberals) to plan and harvest food (grown in the parks). I also think the Snowflakes in the Rural areas will be the biggest danger. The small drug /dealers and low grade gangs will be eliminated quickly, because all the locals will know who to shoot first. It will be the sneaky Snowflakes the folks won't be prepared to deal with. In the past they were just folks to shake your head about and go along your way. After the SHTF, they are going to want and feel they deserve your stuff and they will back-shoot you to get it. For many, this discovery will come too late. JM2C

Judging from everything we know about Snowflakeism...Their strange sense of entitlement, strident whining, horse-with-blinders mentality, and their naturally obnoxious modus operandi will anger the Bad Guys so much, that they may not live long in the absence of law abiding citizenry. I cannot fathom any gang putting up with Snowflake behavior for more than a few hours. I also cannot believe a Snowflake will be a reliable worker for any kind of gang, even under the threat of death (remember the mindless traits discussed earlier). I believe gangs and other armed Bad Guys will think the most useful part of SFs will not be labor, but as food, and will eat them.

I listened to that for about 22 seconds (video of screaming snowflake). WOW.

Those two are not isolated cases. They are legion... You can enter the search term "screaming snowflakes" or "sjw cringe" or "sjw meltdown" or "sjw compilation" and there are many more. Not to mention those who were at marches, etc. that were not individually filmed...

I think that would leave a bad taste in your mouth. Since they are also basically cowards, they will only have to watch a few people get BBQ'ed alive and they would become very docile workers, sex slave and anything else the gangs wanted to use them for. They only get away with their antics because it is against the law to back hand them. The gangs will not have those constraints. In the evil days of child labor, the children learned to be reliable workers. These "Adult Children" will learn even faster. Severe pain is a great motivator and the gangs will be happy to demonstrate their talents in that area. The tactics the Drug Cartels use to stay in power, during normal times, will work even better during a SHTF event. I would not be surprised if the Snowflakes became the trustee's for the gangs and helped persecute the sheep. They feel they are Special, so what ever they do, is okay, as long as it works for them. Every invading force has had their collaborators. The Special Snowflakes fall perfectly into this category. They will toss everybody under the bus in a heart beat.
 
Those tactics may work on normal people or a few Snowflakes possessing an unusually strong sense of survival. I suspect that the BG will need to sift through a lot of SFs to find a handful of suitable "slaves." Throughout history, POWs and Holocaust survivors had these things in common: strong coping skills, resilience, emotional stability, and the ability to maintain a positive attitude in the face of defeat. Because these traits are not hallmarks of the entitled Snowflake generation, many of them will likely melt under the heat of oppression. A normal person will do whatever it takes to stay alive. The generation that Virgin Prepper spoke of are woefully ill-equipped mentally and they have never learned to process opposition/oppression, at home or at school. Many of them will likely melt-down mentally, and be too weak to do what it takes to survive, or even to cooperate with their captors in a useful manner without crying and generally breaking down.

They are doing it now, during "good times." They are also the most medicated generation in history because they cannot handle the rigors of daily living.

I fully understand your point and probably agree but it is really hard for me to visualize anybody that weak. Curling up in a ball and allowing somebody to just do what they want, is just too far beyond my comprehension. I can understand subservience to survive or even being a traitor / collaborator but to just roll over an die, is way beyond my ability to understand. I have to believe the survival instinct will kick in at some point, prior to fading from life. I can see suicide but not having these complete mental collapses. Either way, they will go the way of the DoDo bird. The prep groups are not going to take them in and if they can't survive the gangs rule, then they have not place in the future.
