Not a pit stop on the way to communism, but more like one of those giant stainless steel amusement park slides to communism, and it’s been freshly waxed.

The only reason kids today don’t trust capitalism is because the socialists run the schools, therefore they haven’t taught the kids how capitalism works because they themselves don’t actually know.

Remember folks, you can vote your way INTO communism, but we have to (we GET to) shoot our way out.

AFistFullOfGizzards's avatar

Ah, but has it been freshly waxed, or is it super-heated by the sun and burning you and ripping your skin off on the way down to an even more hellish end? But as you are descending, you are really looking forward to the end of the slide, little knowing there is worse to come.

KatWarrior's avatar

Indeed! I know it’s going to get much worse because I just witnessed the rigged jungle primaries rip a clear second placement right out of Spencer Pratt’s hands!

But, folks, watch Pratt closely as the phoenix rises and exposes more fraud. He is on a demolition mission straight out of the Bible. Godspeed, Spencer! 🙏💯❤️❤️❤️

Obviously you had metal slides when you were a kid too!

@Fist- ah, a fellow Boomer. You have to be with that slide description.

Here’s a solution: TuttleTwins books for all the kids!

Lo_retta's avatar

The author of these books (and animations) was just interviewed by Mike Rowe on "The Way I Heard It" podcast. I wish these were around when my kids were younger...waiting for the grandkids!

NotaBot's avatar

A series for kids and teens, teaching them about free-market economics, civil liberties and more. Introduces them to classics and authors like Murray Rothbard, Ludwig von Mises, Hayek, Bastiat, Hazlitt, and more. Wish I was still an affiliate!

David Nelson's avatar

I visited:

www.tuttletwins.com

and immediately ordered (2) Tuttle Twins Combo packs (for 2 of my 4 sets of grandchildren's libraries; the other 2 sets don't have reading-age kids yet).

I was just about to post the same comment - look at our socialist school system to understand why the youth of today think the way they do.

Juju's avatar

First you create an economy that requires both parents have to work just to provide bare necessities, then you indoctrinate universities for educators, then when parents have to place kids in the public schools you can indoctrinate them/raise them any way you want while the parents are overextended elsewhere; requires coming between them and their faith - so you rip Christianity from the public sphere and schools but allow other religions, like Islam, to have free access to their children and undermine anything they do manage to have time to teach. This has been in the making for several decades.

Today’s young adults have been indoctrinated by Marxists teachers to not trust the establishment. Turns out the Marxists were right as we discover most politicians are just criminals in suits. The only real political option to dig out of their serf lifestyle, is to support MAGA. But, TDS has been effectively infected everyone on the Left. So they support algae vandals, Mangione, Mamdani and the Mullahs

nancylee's avatar

so you trust the establishment?

Bruce Coary's avatar

I think what we are witnessing is the power of information control via the media and education. You can get many people to believe anything. Vaccines are good for you. Communism is good. Humans cause climate change. Your gender is flexible. The list is endless. The only solution besides eliminating the delivery of the falsehoods is getting folks to see the lie. All cons are vulnerable to truth.

Dena's avatar

Simple question for those illiterate about world history - how did these politicians who love socialism/ communism become multi millionaires? On a politicians salary? And what have they done besides denigrating America while fleecing taxpayers?

Russell Schierling's avatar

Great freaking memes (me bowing down)! If you haven't seen El Gato Malo's latest (https://substack.com/@boriquagato/p-202847417). The video is worth the price of admission. Keep em coming, Jenna!

Yes, I thought about stealing that one too…. Maybe I could post them side by side with no comment. 😆

The el gato malo strikes up some brutal truth about the entitled midwits! 💯❤️😆🔥💥

Pat Wetzel's avatar

OMG. The midwits are everywhere! I think I need to go full Thoreau just for a bit of sanity.

kittynana's avatar

@Russell- I have to be in the mood to read him. His writing is more intense.

KatWarrior's avatar

Really?! The bad cat lays it flat out. No messing around. I love it!

kittynana's avatar

@Kat- Oh, don't getme wrong: he's a brilliant writer! But I save his works for when I have the time.

KatWarrior's avatar

Indeed, Russell! Love me a bad cattitude! Checking it out now!

I could have guessed as much via your name.

You describe the classic slide into Communism. A dictatorship of the wealthy-elite to create their view of a perfect world to advance the views of the few by government forcing everyone else to pay. Cognitive dissonance on steroids!! It has many associated titles. The one I prefer is sociopathic or psychopathic dependent on how loudly they are yelling. These are individuals unconnected from logic, from reality, from common sense and themselves They are schizophrenic in their thinking and psychotic paranoids in their actions in pushing this agenda.

They are as, some observe, suicidal in hating themselves for being a member of society which so disagrees with them on human basics. They make up for their disconnect by blaming everyone else for forsaking their neediness to feel insulated from the challenges of life. Challenges like making a living, getting groceries, and paying for rent having to brush-up against views with which they are uncomfortable. Even Musk feels this and forecasts universal basic income is needed. An utterly stupid idea to place everyone on welfare!! Might as well call it universal poverty which UBI concept truly is.

The Dems represent that part of society demanding the nipple of a baby bottle and a warm cuddly place be supplied to them for doing nothing. Taking personal responsibility is concept far outside their comprehension.

🌱Nard🙏's avatar

Free copies of Animal Farm, 1984, and Atlas Shrugged for all! Yep. That should do it.

John Wright's avatar

First you have to teach them to read (and think).

Frontera Lupita's avatar

Thats what I said…they can’t read!

Jewell's avatar

That's because they talk in SMH, LOL and other short hand. They can't read, spell or write.

arrotsevni's avatar

Some schools are implementing learning how to write in cursive as required. This does wonders to activate the brain's learning patterns of what the meanings are of what one is writing.

arrotsevni's avatar

Both very good reads and educational if one can truly understand. But, for Dems these great books have proven useless. There is no correcting mental defects which is what I believe we are seeing. The internet has made their voice louder. We have been slow in responding. Lately, many of us have woken. We need to speak clearly, with conviction of logic and often. The only cure is to flood the Internet with common sense and demand individual responsibility be the standard.

KatWarrior's avatar

Again, thank you for articulating my opinion.

How about adding that people stop listening to the midwits and start thinking and seeing with their own minds and eyes? I know this sounds trite, but what if?

I will be having a conversation with our son when he returns from much needed, get the feck out of SoCal multi-state, midwest road trip!

kittynana's avatar

@Kat- some people want their thinking done for them, for a variety of reasons.

arrotsevni's avatar

Good luck with that. In my experience it takes a period of life experience to gain commonsense. Like 15yrs of life experience!

Jewell's avatar

15 yrs of life experience! By the time I was 15, I was an old soul with lots of common sense.

KatWarrior's avatar

Come to think of it, so was I. Smart as a whip and buckets of common sense!

Mike Lee's avatar

I agree, but sadly, to co-opt an alternate observation, "give em books and send em to school and what do they do? Chew on the corners!"

TriciaandHerDog's avatar

Yes! And don't be afraid of the size of Atlas Shrugged. You can skip a lot of the speeches after a page or two (one goes on for 60 pages). And pay particular attention to Reardon's rich, parasitic wife and her friends who despise work but love money.

Frontera Lupita's avatar

Oh there is a little problem here…these “kids” can’t read, so forget that avenue of knowledge.

🌱Nard🙏's avatar

Audio books? Where there is a will…

Frontera Lupita's avatar

Ha!Ha! Audio Books? They can barely sit through a Tik Tok video!

🌱Nard🙏's avatar

We must not know the same students…

KatWarrior's avatar

Brilliant analysis, Arrotsevni! Sociopathic or psychopathic depending on how loudly they are yelling is on point.

"Young people don’t trust Washington. They don’t trust Wall Street. They don’t trust corporations. And increasingly, they don’t trust capitalism to deliver the American Dream they grew up believing they were entitled to."

And it's not just young people!

As I say when I can't resist, "Before we reject capitalism, maybe we shoud try it." And with our fake money system, we haven't tried it in the last hundred years or so.

John Wright's avatar

The fake money system is a serious problem! I don't think most people realize just how fundamental that is to our troubles!

Tim Pallies's avatar

Yep. We pretend to have capitalism, but then turn around and fix the most important price—money. And couple that with predictable bailouts for the big banks.

SHug's avatar

"the American Dream they grew up believing they were entitled to."

And that right there is part of the problem. NO ONE is entitled to a house, car, good jobs etc.

What you are entitled to as an American is "life, liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness". If to you, that means a house, you are entitled only to the opportunity to EARN one.

Seems they all forget the EARN it part.

And these people keep voting for liberals, who want to soak up their money, so they can give it away to others who do not earn it, and get rich themselves from skimming the top. No such thing as "Free" anything in this world. Someone, somewhere had to earn it, then have it stolen. There's your free healthcare, your free college, your free housing, free basic income. Someone else earned it and it was forcibly taken from them, so someone who wasn't willing to earn it could have the same thing you earned.

And big corporations buying up single family homes should be illegal. I don't care that it supposedly is a small percentage of the market - people live in houses, not companies. If they want to invest their money, they can purchase apartment buildings & hire managers.

I wish we could go back to the Gold Standard. Fiat money and the way it can easily be manipulated sux. That right these tells you why crooks enacted it.

Tim Pallies's avatar

I agree totally that "entitled to" is the wrong way to look at things. On the other hand, I think our young today face an economy that makes earning the things we all want much more challenging than it was when I was young. And I, like you, believe that fiat money is a huge part of the problem.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". Thankfully we're a country of 50 states and there's refuge from the communist slide in at least half of them.

Pat Wetzel's avatar

But they are infiltrating everywhere. Even in ID.

kittynana's avatar

@Pat- because they're leaving expensive places in the PNW and moving to ID. My sister hasbeen in her Portland suburb house for 50 years. She said things have changed dramatically in the politics department. While she's a Dem, she's a moderate Dem- old school if you will.

Worthy of sending this out to many….yes, Jenna you have a great following, I can attest because my tip of my finger is ‘red’ from liking these smart comments…

And a side note when I send out to family and friends I ask them to like and read the comments…

The biggest problem with all of this is that the narrative is controlled on both ends. We do not live in a truly capitalistic or socialist society. What is ostensibly capitalism is corporate fascism. The criminals have taken control of the prison and they want us to argue and debate about which criminal is going to rob us less and treat us better.

Neither party cares about the average American because they are all captured and beholden to outside forces controlled be a small group of psychopaths. The broken record of Vee is always here to remind everyone that this isn't left vs right, democrat vs republican, capitalism vs socialism, etc. It's not a horizontal problem, it's a vertical one. It truly is the 1% vs 99%. The sooner we acknowledge this, the sooner we can all unite and start discussing real solutions to the real problems of today.

Doc Malik's recent conversation about the systems that control us very relevant to this topic. Check it out! https://rumble.com/v7bmpay-488-escape-key-understanding-the-systems-that-rule-our-world.html

Statism is still the most dangerous religion!

🤣: “Somebody should open a museum dedicated to failed socialist experiments. The gift shop could have one mug, three pencils, and a six-hour line.”

And of course I clicked on the bonus meme. 🤣😂🤣😂

I stinking love your Light and I will miss seeing you tomorrow night. 😢

Bad ass, BTW. 🤬🍑😘

TriciaandHerDog's avatar

I liked the cleaning the bathroom meme. That really sums it up.

David Resnick's avatar

Government used to know that every family needed property. Family used to know to stick together. Community used to be more important than social media fantasy. We are headed somewhere; I just have no idea where. If Trump doesn’t fix housing things will get worse. All it would take is interest rates subsidized to 3% for the bottom 30% of housing. Cheaper than a war. And a media that cared about family values more than social and medical control.

Chuck's avatar

The idea of "a museum dedicated to failed socialist experiments" is actually a great idea. Given the amount of money spent (wasted) on political campaigns, a few million thrown at the museum would be a great investment that could be built on. Plus, it would be funny on multiple levels. I will go on the record now and commit to a donation for the museum project.

David 1260's avatar

We have a Museum of International Propaganda here in San Rafael, CA. It is full of Stalinist and North Korean posters and exhibits. The really fascinating part is there seems to be no awareness whatsoever as to how profoundly propagandized Americans are. Example: the massive TV fear campaign during Covid.

Chuck's avatar

Many of us are very aware of it. I had no idea about that museum. Let me guess who’s paying for it.

David 1260's avatar

Someone with an anti-communist hard-on.

Bob Brown's avatar

A big part of the problem is that Trump and team keep saying that the economy is great because the stock market is up. Most people know the economy is not great for them, only for the rich, so they look for an alternative.

When the stock market bubble bursts that alternative will have an even stronger appeal, as it is the small investors who will take the hit hardest.

Heather B's avatar

Haha on the shower scene meme! And yes to all the rest. Perhaps because I spent 4 years in Europe as a young child listening to all the adults discuss the perils of socialism and communism along with the horrors of WW2 I've never been a fan of either. I feel sorry for Gen Z though. Not only do they have little hope of owning a house, they have little knowledge of how any economic system works and very little hope of a happy life. At least that's what I see among my granddaughter's friends who are 15-16 so tail end of Gen Z.

kittynana's avatar

@Heather- my granddaughter and her husband are older Gen Z. They own a home, have new cars, teo toddlers, all the bells and whistles. Capitalism at its finest and yet....We don't talk politics.

Heather B's avatar

I'm glad they are doing well. I wish everyone would.
