The problem is that kids can't be expected to prepare for problems they don't know exist. Schools and parents should be teaching financial literacy, but I think we both know that public institutions are training young people to be Consoomers and their parents are too busy being wage slaves to teach their kids any better. It's a vicious cycle, which is why I like Andrew Tate and (for the most part) "hustle culture" that at least gets Zoomers thinking about money and financial independence. Regardless, it's absurd that financial literacy isn't a part of American culture, seeing as we pride ourselves on our alleged, purported, rumored, so-called "Capitalist" economy.
The problem is that "Hustle Culture" is actually still operating in the system and not rejecting it outright and building something independent.
It's like working to get a higher wage, rather than starting a business. More good (and potentially more money) can be done by the later, but if you keep focusing on the former you'll still end up a wage slave.
You're right, they can't be expected to prepare for problems they don't know exist, and that's really the level of revolution they need to take. You have to abandon all current ways of knowing and traditions and start from scratch, assuming all known opinion is wrong. That's pretty fucking crazy, especially coming from the political right (since it's an inherently anti-conservative & anti-traditional argument), but it is what they have to do. Oddly enough, because the technically conservative stance would be to follow along with the guidance given by the leftist institutions, the kids would end up as Paleo-Cons.
