Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z, especially the White Men, got the short end of the stick. They were told that a degree is the only thing that guarantees success. The stigma is so powerful, and the grade schools do nothing to guide kids to find their passion or explore careers in meaningful ways. Years of children’s lives are wasted learning generalities without sufficient direction. Critical thinking is not encouraged while simultaneously children and teens are punished for wanting to have fun after being stuck in a desk for 8+ hours a day. This is a failure that won’t be solved in a bureaucratized society like the one we have now.
They did what they were told was best, and tried to do what they could with what little information they had to work with. Not all of them are able to succeed in STEM majors (even though now the value of STEM is questionable in terms of employment), and that is ok.
Not all people are meant to be hustlers, nor should they be expected to be hustlers. It is not natural for humans to compete on a global scale, and this “hyper-competitiveness” shouldn’t be seen as acceptable. It’s important to emphasize the values of hard work in younger generations but also to show compassion in a system that is so clearly against them. Merely telling them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps only reinforces the notion that the globohomo systems we see now, where everyone EXCEPT whites have significant in-group preference, is normal and should remain in place.
Some behaviours should be shamed
If you want to help white people, you don't do them any favours by not shaming them for spending thousands on a useless communist indoctrination. Of all the things we need to end, this is right up there. Give it a social cost and it stops.
You're right that it also shouldn't be all about the hustle and all getting an medicine or engineering degree, but that doesn't mean that damaging behaviours shouldn't be shamed. There should be a lot more shaming, it needs to be brought back for a lot of things.
Yeah, it's fine to not be cut out for STEM. Spending thousands to be indoctrinated into gay communism isn't though.
It's a trillion dollar manipulation machine. You should blame the people who did that spending. It was your tax dollars anyways.
It's a pipeline that starts when kids are 6 and continues until they are 24. They didn't stand a fucking chance. If you want to save them you have to forgive them this first. Otherwise the cognitive dissonance will keep them attached to the hand that keeps them down. They will never even be capable of hearing you.
Mostly I'm pissed about how this has destroyed small businesses, ruined competition, not only for products and the market but for labor and for wages, and turned the legal system into a weapon of the elites.
We all suffer from this. These people don't understand yet. People yearn for freedom. They need to know what they've lost. You won't even need to tell them what to do next. They will revolt on their own.
Should we have an amnesty for covid vaxx pushers too?
I want to save the younger ones more. And if shaming the older ones who are set in their ways and indoctrination, and increasing the costs they bear, letting the young ones see how bad an idea it is, if that helps the younger ones see, then I'm all for it. I'd love to save both of course, but that's a very optimistic ideal, that may be best achieved by saving more young ones first.
And forgive them first? No. Why. They can come ask for forgiveness first. You know, the biblical way.
Vax pushers are adults, bro. Bit different from blaming children for the fact that near every trusted adult around them gave them the same bad advice all their life.
Kids by nature are ignorant and gullible, on account of having very few life experiences. If you want to blame someone, blame the universities, who know damn well how poorly the overpriced papers they sell do on the job market, yet keep hiking up the tuition every year.
You can blame the parents too. The average tradcon parent is STILL pushing their kids into college.
It's like you hadn't read my comments, I was focusing the idea of shaming on the older ones, with shit degrees. OP was talking gen z, millennial, and gen x(!)
