So, as I watch around the country, it seems there is a faction of the populous who have completely lost their minds. These nutters are not your classic liberals. There was once a time when a liberal had actual tangible values and some modicum of integrity. They were peace loving, tolerant people, who were willing to listen to opposing views.
I remember, as a kid, seeing my neighbors post yard signs of their favorite political candidates, both republican and democrat. This was a time when everyone had respect for everyone else's choices and didn't mob up and attack others because of their political beliefs. There used to be healthy back and forth and discourse. We no can no longer just agree to disagree. What the hell happened?
The world they want simply is unrealistic and will not work. Socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried. Yet, we have an ever increasing collective of youth that think and are being taught that this is a good idea. We have people who are entirely emotionally driven, devoid of facts to back them up. When presented with facts, or information that differs from their beliefs, they throw temper tantrums, get violent, want to shut people up and attempt to insulate themselves from that which they don't want to hear. Yes, there is a difference between classic liberals and these radical, anarchist extremists. How do we communicate with such people?

And the youth are eating up because they are only being shown what looks good on paper when it comes to Socialism. They aren't shown the horrific results from history. That is why they are keen on wanting Socialism as a model for government. Add to that for several decades now children have not been taught about living in the "real world". They have been taught that you can have anything and everything you want in life. Hence the entitlement syndrome that has taken place. The constant attacks on the traditional family model and values hasn't helped the situation either. In fact it may play a bigger role then making Socialism look like the answer.

Not sure who here is familiar with Stefan. I think he is one the best when comes to looking at things logically and using philosophy to address things. If you wish you can check him out here and he has a channel on YT as well.

i'm most of you have heard about the anti toxic masculinity commercial Gillette put out. I'm seriously considering not buy any of their product anymore as well as anything owned or made by P&G. They basically insulted the intelligence of ever male on the planet.
