Our Youth’s Infatuation With Socialism Has Been Both Swift and Deep

Andy Kessler looks at the disturbing trend: What’s with the rash of socialists inflaming our politics? Didn’t socialism die in Berlin in 1989? Yes, but awful ideas are eternal for the power-hungry…. America’s youth are infatuated—almost two-thirds of those under 30 have a “favorable view” of socialism. They are told artificial intelligence will destroy jobs; they worry about never-arriving climate disasters and are seduced by universal basic income (aka welfare for all). Oh, and they hate the filthy inequality schemes and unfathomable riches of billionaires—but they sure enjoy iPhones and Starbucks’s Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. Young voters help elect oxymoronic democratic socialists. The effect has been swift. In April, Seattle’s socialist mayor, Katie Wilson, declared, “I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are, like, super overblown. And if—the ones that leave, like, bye.” Starbucks announced a $100 million expansion in Nashville, Tenn., and former CEO Howard Schultz moved to Florida. As in, like, bye(Wall Street Journal).

Well, we quit teaching world views, we quit talking about God, salvation, faith, hope, love, equality, and finally, right vs wrong. So, everyone made up their own standards.

And the worst part, is, once they made up their own standards, they made up their own definitions, too.

Take out the word 'sex.' Invent 'gender.' Take out the fidelity of the union of one man and one woman in marriage.
Take out the word 'republic.' Now, take out the word, 'migrant, or alien.'
Take out Natural Law, and finally, take out God.

So, in return, we received these words— 'gender, affirming, non-binary,' plus, they multiplied their own inventions into a monstrosity world view built from hell:

LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBAL
L-Lesbian, G-Gay, B-Bisexual, T-Transgender, I-Intersex, Q-Queer/Questioning, C-Curious, A-Asexual, P-Pansexual, G-Gender-Nonconforming, G-Gender-Fluid, Female-to-Male (FTM/Fluid), N-Non-Binary, B-Bigender, A-Agender/Aromantic.

So, how did this happen?

We refused, or the COURTS refused to define Marriage, Sex, Binary, Pregnancy, Life, Death, Abortion, Assembly (J6), Borders, Right, Wrong, and more.
Nor did anyone tell SCOTUS that 0care did not belong in a Republic set upon Freedom and Liberty, and private property.
And now that we are tracked and traced, every thing is multiplied coast to coast, border to border. What is privacy NOW?

It's a tough fall to the bottom when someone forgets to watch their steps, because their steps are going to TAKE them SOMEWHERE. And we let them take steps they never should have taken.

Results? We got what we let happen, or got what we asked for. And, exponentially, the deviance escalated to the top of the chart, with Adrenochrome, and the rape drug, and with children and even babies, sold like barter on the open market. We got rape trees in the SW marked by underwear, we got children missing, and who is involved in it—but Child Services. And gangs. And some illegal aliens. And some American citizens, both women and men. We got children drugged in order to be smuggled through into cities and towns. USA.

What can the righteous do when the foundations are destroyed?
Does anyone see the courts re-establishing right vs wrong, in any case? Do you? I don't.

When the right acts like words DON'T matter and the left acts like words DO matter, then there is a problem. They fight for their words.

And of course, the problem is also the R's. Finger in the wind. Money under the table. I looked to find morality and I couldn't find it. I looked to the left. I looked to the right. I looked up. I looked down. I couldn't find it.

“The fundamental basis of this nation’s laws was given to Moses on the Mount…If we don’t have a proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the State.”

This should be most alarming, this is how we get defeated from within!
