Is This Something? Audio of Old Documentary on Mentally Ill Children Repurposed as Narration of Video of Social Justice Warriors

Let me spare you the trouble of answering: Yes, this is something.

As this isn't much of a post, let me link an article I've had open for a while: Monster Babies should be neither seen nor heard and certainly not obeyed.

Let's Stop Treating the Young As If They're Political Sages

by Clare Foges

We should be challenging the naive, unaffordable views of many under-25s, not kowtowing to them

"Respect your youngers," tweeted the pop star Lily Allen after the shock election result driven by a high youth turnout. But have we come to respect the youngers and their opinions too much?

Recent years have involved increasing youth worship in politics. Come election time, TV producers fall over themselves to put together panels of young people to offer up vacuities about “choosing hope over fear” and other quotes they may have spotted on Instagram. Grey-beard presenters nod deferentially at every complaint offered up by youthful contributors, however inane or ill-informed (the passion of youth requires no substantiation). Millennial mouthpieces on social media rouse the tribe with talk of reclaiming their future and how dreadfully they have been let down by older generations.

Well, that's all they'll let me see without paying, but you get the gist.

This video (also embedded below) should be ample proof that we're respecting the young far too much.

Thanks to Max Power for finding that full version of the video.

23 The youth of today are spoiled rotten. But I am sure every generation of adults since time began say the same thing. Only now they are doing things of a violent nature. What we used to call juvenile delinquents who sooner or later would be shipped off to reform school. Which the progressives have managed to eliminate so the youth just get worse.



And I won't even talk about the welfare babies born out of wedlock and turned out in the street, their purpose being to increase the amount of welfare obtained. They are not even civilized and remain savages until they are struck down either by the police or some rival gang savages that they run across.

26 So a salesman is driving a country road and sees a sign that says "Free Talking Dog." Guy pulls over and a framer and this dog are there. He asks if the dog can really talk? The dog says "Of course i can. I was also in combat and got a Silver Star. After I got out I ran a medium sized design and development lab. Then I went on to produce some great movies." The guy asks the farmer why he's giving a dog that TALKS away. Farmer says "He's a liar. He didn't do any of that shit."

27 "choose hope over fear" means accept our BS as we destroy you, stay asleep as we slit your throats.

Even though everything is worse (e.g. health care declines, while costs skyrocket) ... keep buying into our bull shit promises of "five year plans" and "communism is great, just surrender all your rights, then we will take care of you, after the world falls apart".

31 Even as they probably know more than previous generations they seem more immature than previous generations.

The problem is what they know is so meaningless and trivial. They know things of no import or worth, while previous generations learned common sense and basic life skills. How to cope with trouble and disappointment, how to change a tire, how to keep a job. Things that get you through life. All these guys know is just enough about every subject to get themselves argued into a corner and start to throw a fit.

57 Families find it too painful to admit that their kid is an idiot, obnoxious, ugly and has severe behavioral problems. It is seen as a failing.

I think things are tangibly worse. "We" have been removing consequences for bad behavior. The country has been enabling and rewarding infantilism for at least a few generations post WWII. And once these cretins reach chronologically-defined adulthood with acquired authority, they perpetuate the problem and expand personal corruption. And let's not even get into unabated Narcissism.

My exact experience in STEM in the early 2000's. Completely different when I went back in 5 years or so.

It probably also has to do with their parents and schools pandering to them to the point where they can't handle disappointment. When I was kid, if you complained to your mom that something "wasn't fair", her response was, "life isn't fair."
Another common phrase was, "we can't afford that."

You learned to accept reality.

You're right. I knew a kid in grade school, late 1970s, who had severe problems. I think it came from his father, but I couldn't say for sure. One day he had a meltdown in class and I'm pretty sure the whole school heard it (we had those retarded open air rooms that some 60s retard likely came up with) so sound traveled. No one said anything but you could tell everyone was cringing inside. He was in there screaming, throwing shit around, cursing at the teacher with the f bombs even. It was horrible.

He had almost no friends and no one wanted anything to do with him. I actually remembered this incident the other night and once again wondered whatever happened to him. I hope he got better.

Posted by: rickb223

Right. And maybe add some of the intent of the founders, who said something about property owners voting, people that had "skin in the game".

Welfare as we know it now was not even a concept back then. That a communist infiltration force could bring in aliens to vote for free stuff, and overwhelm the majority population, and thereby ensure their destruction ... was NOT a part of the vision of a Republic.

That an incompetent welfare state 30% (47%?) population could have a vote to undermine the productive force of a nation ... is insanity. It was the intent to have the producers vote ... the makers, not the takers (including the 300:1 leveraged, too big to fail too big to jail), not the commies using force to make the producer the slave of the "powerful forces" ... the producers rule, not those that buy guns to force them into submission and servitude.

These are simple concepts, but the world is busy explaining why servitude to the commie mob bosses will be grande. FU (dem commie basturds) ... WAR.

85 Look these are young people who had everything go right, were protected from every problem, had parents that let them "make choices" for everything they wanted, and were given whatever they desired. They faced no challenges, no disappointments, no failures, ho hardship.

When they got to college, they had to face them, and found out life wasn't all they wanted all the time. They have zero skills or wisdom, no learning or experience on how to deal with this. So they throw screaming fits and attack people. They turn into enraged chimpanzees. They throw a tantrum. The world will not submit and make things the way they always used to be.

How the hell are they supposed to know how to act? Their parents guaranteed this would happen.

Yes, it's disrespectful to go to a dojo and demand to be called anything, but isn't the honorific for your teacher usually "sensei," and maybe even "dono" (though that's a bit archaic)? "Sama" is probably too high an honorific to use. Because "san" can also be used for equals and strangers.

123 81 Right. And maybe add some of the intent of the
founders, who said something about property owners voting, people that
had "skin in the game".

Welfare as we know it now was not even a
concept back then. That a communist infiltration force could bring in
aliens to vote for free stuff, and overwhelm the majority population,
and thereby ensure their destruction ... was NOT a part of the vision of
a Republic.

That an incompetent welfare state 30% (47%?)
population could have a vote to undermine the productive force of a
nation ... is insanity. It was the intent to have the producers vote ...
the makers, not the takers (including the 300:1 leveraged, too big to
fail too big to jail), not the commies using force to make the producer
the slave of the "powerful forces" ... the producers rule, not those
that buy guns to force them into submission and servitude.

These
are simple concepts, but the world is busy explaining why servitude to
the commie mob bosses will be grande. FU (dem commie basturds) ... WAR.


Posted by: illiniwek at June 21, 2017 06:53 PM (Uh5GM)


IIRC my old SC History book (college text that someone borrowed and never returned) you had to own at least 200 acres of property or a business in town worth so much money to vote. The reason being that you had to pay property taxes on that property and had skin in the game. You could not vote yourselves free shit from the public treasury. But that went away even before the colony became a State after the revolutionary war.

San is basically "Mr./Mrs." with some slight cultural modifications. It's for strangers, people of roughly equal social standing, and people of slightly higher standing.

As an example, if you were trying to flag down a middle age-ish woman to get directions and you're younger/around the same age, you'd call her "Oba-san" - basically "auntie." Though you have to be careful because holding the a longer would be "obaa-san," which is 'grandma'.

I think it contributes. A civilization has to have a binding, objective code of behavior and shared ethical structure to survive, and that's all been torn down by the left. They ripped the bones out of our civilization and gave us nothing to replace it with.

They're trying to, with political correctness, environmentalism, and social justice, but the problem is it keeps changing. Every year or two, the rules all shift, and that means there's no structure to build a culture around, no civilization, no understood, shared cultural values.

169 I was ignored in school, except by the teachers. Nobody seemed to know I existed, I could ghost through the hallways like I was invisible, nobody seemed to see me. Or maybe I just wasn't paying any attention to anyone so I didn't realize they noticed me. But I never got into trouble except the one time a buddy and I goofed around like we were fighting and the teacher thought it was real, so we got sent to the principal's office.

That was the kid who told me, the year after Star Wars came out, that Luke and Leia were Vader's kids. How on earth he knew it I cannot even guess to this day. He didn't say it as a suggestion, he was absolutely sure like he'd heard it from Lucas himself.

175 Kids absolutely crave structure and order and discipline. It's not always easy to stick to but it is so worth the effort. As a mother of five, and homeschooling to boot, we laid the law down early in my house and enforced it often.

We have a lot of fun in our house but the kids know the rules, and follow them. Years and years of training. It pays off nicely.

it did, but I think the intent of the founders was clear, as was the problem of denying a vote for some that had no property. They wanted "informed" voters, not "vote for self serving but community destructive" voters. I can say owning land comes with a large set of responsibility, as they must have clearly known.

this is one link ... but regardless of what they understood as they emerged from King/Pope rule ... the concept of responsible producers versus "give me more free shit" is abundantly clear.

True. I had a roommate for one semester who went off the deep end with hard core hippies. At one point she had gone somewhere where there were some SDS members from U of M. The more radical people she hung out with were cynical in their radical views. They knew exactly what they were saying and doing. But they not emotionally out of control.

Yes. I'm just old enough to remember that time and you'd always hear stories of local kids running away to join communes or "Hare Krishna" or the "Moonies' or whatever. Hell, even leaving the parents house at 17 or 18 without going off to college, joining the military or getting married was a big deal back then.
But like you say, they weren't emotionally out of control. Most were also very resourceful and ended up okay.

I've said this before, however-

the Internet is an insanity generator...in this sense.

Before the Internet, if someone had crazy ideas or an odd fixation,

the people around him or her would say "Hey, stop that. You're talking/acting crazy."

and social pressure might pull them back from the abyss.

But now, no matter how crazy, how creepy, how flat out kookoobananas insane your thoughts are-

you can find 10,000 people worldwide who have the same thoughts and who's support and validation of your nuttiness push you further and further into the pit.

This is what we're seeing.

It could have been great. A classic for the ages.

But instead a selection of rather uninspired, obscure videos of SJW protesters were chosen for the video portion -- there are zillions of better, more appropriate, more hilarious ones out there that could have been chosen.

Also, using the same clips over and over seems like you have a paucity of material, so it undermines the joke.

With the exact same audio but better production values, it could have been a classic video for the ages. Instead, it is a passing chuckle, I'm afraid.

Thank you, public high school.

Oh, and he would have everyone write an essay for the final exam. Topic was always "what do you want to do in 10 years?"

Kathy Griffen comes to mind here. There she was, ensconced in the Hollyweirdo Progressive Sandbox, thinking the rules were, "You can do literally anything to Trump and it will be OK." ALL the rhetoric was nasty, pointed, and extreme, so, naturally, she was going to coast on the kudos and try to make a living on one set of rules.

Oops. The rules changed on her (or at least her current understanding of them) and she instantly became toxic. Now, I agree with her that her bubble should've embraced her because, let's face it, the trendline was in her favor. I certainly thought her fellow travelers should've been throwing awards at her for her "edginess", but the rule changed and she was destroyed.

She went from an obnoxious know it all smart kid to the Mary Sue of every leftist writer on the show, always right, always good, always the voice of lefty conscience, becoming a Buddhist vegetarian in a show about how wonderful that behavior is and how awful Christians are.

If they succeed? Its just the effect of their privilege...

And sadly, my Generation of Men, have let down the next generation of Men... as we became wimpified.... as we let women and beta males control more and more of the agenda...

Hell.... even our DIET contributed to less manly men.... the Diet our government was telling us was right... ie, less red meat (a needed precursor for testosterone), more chicken (which they were injecting estrogen into to make them grow)... more carbos... less protein...

And don't agonize over it. Just make the fucking decision, do your best to implement it, and then move on. Don't beat yourself up over the ones that didn't work out. The criterion isn't whether a decision worked out: it is whether, in the same situation, with the same information, you'd do the same thing again. You can't beat yourself up over factors at work of which you were unaware at the time.

For my students I used to distinguish between incorrect decisions and bad decisions.

You step outside and get hit by lightning. Incorrect decision. Reasonable at the time, but it didn't work out.

You go up on your roof to adjust the antenna during a thunderstorm. Bad decision. Stupid at the time, but it may work out, by God's grace.

311 shooting star, cont'd:

Johnnie died one night, died in his bed
bottle of sleepin' pills, bottle of whiskey by his head
Johnnie's life passed him by like a warm summers day
If you listen to the wind, you can still hear it say...

spot on. Where does the rage come from? I don't understand. That one chick is seriously deranged and needs help.

I suspect at least some of it, if not most, is peer signaling. And from a guys standpoint, trying to get laid, as is the objective of most of our behaviors.

314 The middle-aged are the most respectable. Old enough to have some experience under their belt without being so old that they lost their grip on the way society is changing and how to deal with new and novel challenges. The yoof are brain damaged and ignorant. The old are vile boomer scum with no grip on reality. The fact that I passed 30 a year or so ago is completely unrelated to this wise and true opinion.

315 I will say reading /pol these days in surprised to hear some younglings rejecting leftism more then we. Example: They talk about porn and drugs as a sedation/control device. Anything that disrupts the nuclear family should be hit with a hammer. Easy women should not be trusted instead of viewed as sexy.

In short they believe good and healthy must always be on no excuse offense. That's very different from my generation who were shamed into silence and blind tolerance.

I'm sure they are nowhere near a majority, but like that old testament story where the army was drinking from a stream. With good quality>quantity.
