re: How did today's 20-somethings get so effed up?

Have you seen the world since the Patriot Act? I graduated into a shite economy, managed to make something of myself, and now that I can buy a house I had to move to do it even though I am a goddamn CPA and dating another CPA. The older generations fricked this country up and raised these idiots, yet keep asking what is going on.

But the marchers are weird as Hell, regardless of the words on the sign.

Not me… I was dragging a 7, 5 and 3 yo to tea parties and brought them each to DC for several events. Including Jan 6 as young adults

Among the more destructive ones were the theories that produced the Spock babies.

Many of them came of age helping to produce the turbulent '60s when the nexus of Spock babies combined with other rudderless, entitled young people, many of whom were never told "no" in their entire lives.

This was the raw material for Marcuse and his fellow-travelers who in their short time here had already positioned themselves tactically well enough with full malice aforethought to effect the maximum damage to an unaware, unsophisticated populace.

Neo-marxian behaviorists who must've been in their glory with stars in their eyes when they realized what they had been gifted with to experiment on using their carefully crafted methods.
