When Idiocy Becomes Hardwired | ZeroHedge

This is the "Ugly" about which we are fatally in denial, as it relates to seriously "Prepping for Survival".
I "Cherry Picked" some EXCERPTS.
At the same time as a generation of “snowflakes” is being created, the same jurisdictions that are most prominently creating them (the above-mentioned EU, US, Canada, etc.) are facing, not just a generation of young adults who have a meltdown when challenged in some small way. They’re facing an international economic and political meltdown of epic proportions.

Never in history has a crisis of such great proportions loomed and yet, never in history has the unfortunate generation that will inherit the damage been so unequivocally incapable of coping with that damage.

In Europe, where the Millennial trend exists, western Europeans have been growing up coddled and incapable, whilst eastern Europeans, who have experienced war and hardship, are growing up to be quite capable of handling whatever hardships come their way. Likewise, in Asia, the percentage of young people who are being raised to understand that they must soon shoulder the responsibility of the future is quite high.

Polls suggest that a majority of Millennials now favor socialism. And a growing number favor outright communism. Sometime this year, Millennials are expected to surpass Baby Boomers as the nation’s largest living adult generation. This is one of the reasons Bernie Sanders and other socialists are soaring in popularity. And when the next crisis hits, the situation will likely reach a tipping point.

Someplace on this forum we have a "great" discussion thread on "Special Snowflake Syndrome".
 
Don't respond based on my excerpts.........they do not cover the essence of the essay.
I read the linked article.

The book The Fourth Turning dug into the cyclical nature of generations and how about every 80 years, roughly for generations, there times of great upheaval.

80 years ago WWII
80 years before that cival war
80 years prior the revolutionary war
...
Goes back to the war of the roses.

"
Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” The quote, from a postapocalyptic novel by the author G. Michael Hopf, sums up a stunningly pervasive cyclical vision of history.May 2, 2020

I’ve apologized to my two boys who are now exceptional men on several occasions about how badly my generation has screwed things up for them. We certainly have squandered away what the Greatest Generation passed on to us boomers. We will have to account for the dark stain running down the backs of those who pulled through two world wars an the Great Depression.

Seeing all of this stuff unfold and the resulting societal breakdown is why I moved to the middle of nowhere away from the crap my generation ushered in.

I am a little bit behind you....

I worked hard to carry the load of the world but went Galt and let it pass to the next generation and beyond.

All this past generation being heros is bologna, everybody bought into the bankers bs for generation, and people having "education" from universities being more value able than those who could simply figure stuff out for them selves. There are a lot of 50 year old snow flakes, it is not just a milleniums thing,
the powers that scam have cultivated seperation and segregation for centuries through religion and bigotry this game isnt new, except for this time they seem to be getting exposed.
 
How many here are country folk?
Not counting the dedicated kids, the FFA, 4H and ROTC, even around the local towns kids are pretty squared away.
Is there enough of them to carry the day when everything turns to crap?
I don’t know.
 
The article goes a long ways, toward explaining why America and Western Europe, are rapidly migrating to Communism.

"Polls suggest that a majority of Millennials now favor socialism. And a growing number favor outright communism.

You are the first I've seen to use the term "Long Hunter" in a long time. My days of being a long hunter are passed. I wish I could train my nephew.
And I'm just a modern day , Long Hunter with outdated weapons and old fashioned Ideas. But God is in control , Stay Strong and Steady , no matter what kinda dragons come through the gates.

I like the old ways but use modern wpns. When I say out dated , I mean not the most popular according to the experts.
 
Some try to stay optimistic and try to convince themselves things will return to normal after the next election . I am not one of that group . Why would a communist group that have gained power by a corrupt election , relent next time and have an honest election and almost certainly lose their power ? Already those with the illegal gained power are looking at changing the election systems to require all states to have mail in voting , ballot harvesting , and not any Identification requirements . SHTF indeed has arrived but we are only entering the ever decaying living structure that we are descending into .
