Who doesn't like the idea of free shit raining down from purely beneficent, industrious and self sacrificing government entities? Self recognizance and personal responsibility are horrifying concepts to be delayed as long as possible.
The spoiled, callow sucklers think Mommy's tit will never dry up.
Young people are not only penniless and powerless, they’re also ignorant as hell. They think of wealth as something that’s limited, like the number of Hostess Ding Dongs on the 7-Eleven shelf. They think rich people got to the 7-Eleven first and gobbled all the Ding Dongs, leaving poor people to lick the plastic wrappers.
Young people don’t know that more Ding Dongs can be produced. They don’t know how or why more Ding Dong production is possible. And they certainly don’t know how to get the cream filling inside.
When you have a worthless education and can only do shit jobs socialism looks like a good idea.
It is really laziness and lack of ambition. I have seen high school grads become very successful with a lawn care business, a beauty shop, a mulch company, taxi and limo companies, and to the bane of some of you here, a Realtor or two. I am sure others of you have acquaintances with only a high school education that are owners of HVAC or body shop companies.
Just found out PJ O'Rourke was a Remain supporter. Because apparently, a few decades of Britain being in the EU, which began about the same time O'Rourke was at National Lampoon and not some ancient tradition, is one, so they should have stayed (that's his argument). Nevermind Thatcher was gotten rid of precisely because she reversed her thinking on it.
O'Rourke lives in his New Hampshire hermitage, harkening back to another age where Democrats aren't telling people what to do, CRT is not being taught in K12, "Back in the 60s, Mannnnnn" references are still funny, Vaccine Mandates don't exist, that's there's a huge difference between what two guys do with each other in the privacy of their own home, and pushing Gender Confusion and Demon Drag Queen fiends on K-6 kids in taxpayer paid public schools, with the FBI and DOJ threatening moms at the behest of the National School Board Association if they object, and where the "Internet is CB Radio, with Typing".
The latter being funny, and was true until about a decade ago. That's what was cool about it.
Now it's becoming a Factchecking Newspeak & Memory Hole Control Machine. Imagine if Archive.org didn't exist.
