Exactly right, use to be that doctors had to transition from robotic thinking to independent thought, once they received their bachelor's degree. But even that is now robotic under the Obama bureaucratic.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

I’m curious as to what part of socialism sounds good to you even in theory. Serious question, not just being argumentative. I am genuinely curious what part sounds good to you or anyone for that matter?

Because they've never felt pain. That situation is going to change here, but soon.

Socialism isn't all bad, it's just that every good thing comes with a vastly disproportionate number of bad things.
It's good to have no poor people, no people inferior to others, no one goes hungry or can't afford their medication. But that's like having Florida break off and sail into the Atlantic and talking about how wonderful it is to have that new beachfront property in Georgia.

I stopped at RaceTrac yesterday, and bought a large fountain drink. It rang up at $1.59, and I handed the 20-something democrat $2.00.
I could see the confusion on her face. She couldn't make the change. She called the manager over and asked how to make 41 cents in change.
Folks. If this was an uncommon occurrence, it would just be funny. The sad truth is our "schools" are graduating certifiable MORONS that are allowed to vote. They can't make goddamn change, but they are expected to form salient opinions on issues and vote? No. No. No.
I may be back today and see if I can BLOW HER MIND. I might hand her $2.09 and see how she handles it.

Go read threads on here about preserving and defending Social Security and Medicare. They defend the theory of redistribution programs in great detail.

He's the one promoting socialist programs heavily and spent a ton as President
As many Trump fans have argued on here for years, he's never claimed to be a conservative spender.

It is the tendency of youth to rebel. The radicals feed this tendency by continually pointing out the failures of their father's accomplishments, ignoring the huge successes.
But ultimately, the rejection of their father's wisdom is the rejection of Truth - God.
For many, God and religion is a crutch, an opiate, a silly notion.
Our Founding Fathers said it best.....
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other". - John Adams

Could be more biology than ideology; how many in their late teens, early 20s are overly concerned with 50 years down the line.
Add a still thin cerebral cortex contributing to a life of spontaneity resulting in choices, reactions done with little to no consideration for long term consequences.
Then the ever-present peer pressure from other lefties.

Well, the world they reside is in fantasy land where everyone should feel good without any ramifications of their actions...
We created this weak generation and allowed it to thrive to the point that the end is nigh for this once great country... Instead of stopping the bullying, we should have told these kids to toughen up and deal with it...

I agree. Republicans abandoned public education 30 years ago and look at this mess. It’s time we take back public education. That start with local school boards. I’m glad people are waking up

I understand that younger people are being propagandized in schools and colleges, but shouldn’t they instinctively know that their woke causes will ultimately doom society?
Everything that seems natural or logical, they take the opposite side.
They even support policies that will eventually harm them and any future offspring.
It’s like they are under a spell!
The first thing you have to remember is that kids are highly impressionable because they simply don't have enough life experience. Whether they'll admit it or not, they count on the older people to teach and guide them.
The next thing is that two of the most simple and common lessons taught to young children are that being mean is bad and helping others is good. Leftist policies, when stripped away of all their fluff, basically come down to "help others by stopping mean people". Therefore, anyone not agreeing with these policies are the mean people who need to be stopped.
Now add to this the amplification effect of social media.
In this example, kids now see someone their age they believe (and are told) is making a difference. That's fuel on their shallow-minded Leftist fire.
Without being taught a pragmatic approach to life and a strong support structure constantly reinforcing it, they simply don't have (and are taught to shun) any knowledge or thinking which would question these ideas (they don't want to be considered the mean bully, after all, see also: Comrade Snowball). It's not until something or someone causes them to dig below the surface that they begin to realize how wrong they have been.

And remember, most of the academics and establishment bureaucrats in D.C. didn't WANT Reagan to end the Cold War. His State Dept. kept trying to get him to remove the 'Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!' part from his speech at Brandenberg Gate.
That should have been a signal to EVERY American that our 'government' isn't really working for us, the American citizen.
Never forget who we are.

It's programming.
They have been verily conditioned to be fully capable of seeing something with their own eyes and fully NOT believing it. Their riots were peaceful when they burned cities to the fking ground. "Our" "protesting" was the worst event since the Civil War. The list is endless. They can see and not believe. It's amazing. Seeing really isn't believing.
