This is hilarious! I laughed out loud several times. Talk about a generation suffering from arrested development. The snowflakes are alive and well, and coming to take your shit just cuz. The audacity, narcissism, and utter arrogance of a generation of people who think they're suffering more than anyone else ever has is beyond the pale. The cries of "just look at what you've done to us...given us a planet that's dying, doomed us to low-paying jobs, no universal healthcare....." and their disgust for "white privilege" as though all those complaints about their hardships don't smack of just that. Whiners. Read some history people -- you aren't the first and won't be the last generation to face epic problems. And shame on their parents' generation for creating these monsters because they gave their offspring no coping skills for when times get tough and now we all have to suffer for it. The "everybody hits, everybody wins," generation appropriately throws themselves on the floor and kicks and screams like petulant children when it doesn't go their way because that's what you get when people think it's better to be your kid's friend than to step up and do the hard thing and actually parent and set appropriate boundaries. And teach kids that sometimes life isn't fair and no Vicky, you don't always get what you want even when you think you can just take (loot) it. Boo hoo. They should learn that a little humility goes a long way and grow the fuck up.

So you're fine with forever war and corporate looting is what you're saying ? Everyone should accept the double standard and play by the rules no matter what ? You shouldn't ever stand up to authority and just roll over and accept your fate ?

I'm not sure you read it, as nothing I said even remotely suggests that. And the either-or choice you present of we either get corporate looters or we get common looters aren't the only two options. I dunno, how about NO looters? Are the common people rioting and looting right now in favor of corporate looting? If not, they've got a funny way of showing it. Standing up to corporate interests by doing the exact same things you accuse them of because you can't think of more productive ways to "fight the system" is ironic in the extreme. And sad. No, scratch that. Pathetic. THAT'S what my post is about....people who should stop navel gazing and more productively use their time to fight back rather than simply mimicking that which they detest.

"nothing I said even remotely suggests that."

Skutch, and his fellow Lefties, know what they're doing.

They consistently use straw man, because they know that most of their flock is, not educated, but pseudo-educated.

Those who have no idea about straw man, and still pontificate about the ideas of others, should be dismissed as we do barroom drunks.
