| New Socialists: Entitled, Ignorant, Virtue-Signaling Turds Make Destruction En Vogue |

| h/t Instapundit [VictoryGirls] Ever since the 2016 election, the worship of an old, white, messy-haired man has become en vogue among the young, hip socialists. No, they aren’t genuflecting at the altar of Karl Marx, although my educated guess would be that half of them have a shrine to the worthless, freeloading, adulterous pud in their parents’ basements. Bernie Sanders is their socialist of choice, although if you want to be technical, they worship the almighty state, with Bernie just the crazy-looking personification thereof. And then came the rise of the 29 year-old bartender with no economic sense, no experience in public policy, and an ego far surpasses her actual skills and knowledge and who got elected by blathering, wide-eyed, self-aggrandizing, snotty cognoscenti, who consider themselves much more educated and worldly than the rest of us blue-collar types who think that working for a living and increasing your own value ‐ whether to your employer or to your customer ‐ is the only moral way to advance in life. How bourgeois and uncouth! When did everyone become socialist? That’s the question the New Yorker magazine posed recently to its readers as it worked to transform the culture of indolence, entitlement, and state-worship into a cool, hip movement of educated, self-aware young people who are finding one another and creating a political powerhouse in this country. ...The problem is these ignorant children have no actual understanding of socialism, what it means, how it destroys societies, and how it erodes individual freedoms. They don’t know history. They think that socialism in its historical sense simply wasn’t implemented correctly, and that a planned economy is all there is to this destructive ideology ‐ an economy run by government bureaucrats ‐ but only bureaucrats of their choosing, of course! They have no firsthand knowledge of privation, starvation, and government force, because they’ve grown up in the best of privileged societies, wanting for nothing. They think Venezuela and the former USSR are nothing but anomalies that implemented socialism incorrectly instead of the logical conclusion to their socialist dreams. The concept of individual rights is their kryptonite. "What, you don’t think doctors will get paid, or something? Health care is a right, you know," said one snotty socialist in a social media discussion, when I informed them that anything that obligates another person to use their skills and abilities to provide a service to another at the point of a government gun is not a "right." Worse yet, these naive, immature, blase little shits, who have never seen a world outside their soon-to-fail socialist coffee house, are pushing a philosophy they have never actually experienced, because they like to come across as caring and unselfish even as they accuse you of being selfish, hateful, bigoted, and misogynistic. The Barbarians are at the gates |

#1 Possible retort to:Health care is a right, you know, YOU have a right to remain silent. Why not use it? |
