You can thank the indoctrination of our children by leftist teachers from first grade to graduation for what you are seeing.
One benefit of the Covid hoax is that our kids have had months away from their indoctrination camps. I'm hoping some of the harm can be reversed the longer they are away.
These kids in Portland and elsewhere who are responsible for some of the strongest virtue signalling and SJW shit are between the ages of 12 and 16... THAT age is:
A: The MOST vulnerable period of a child's mind when they are just setting out to find their identity and purpose in life and is susceptible to all kinds of psychological swaying. This is also the age group that is the most vulnerable for being persuaded to abandon their families and become a sex trafficking victim or a mule for a drug gang...
B: When children are at their MOST idealistic stages. This is an age when kids think that all of the world's problems can be solved by a real life Emperor of the World, or a "hero" who fights and engages in activism hard enough. MANY social justice campaigns like "world peace" and "end homelessness" originate with this age group.
Children of this age are just old enough to see some of the world's flaws and be appalled by them, yet, they are still too naive and sheltered to learn just what causes these flaws and the vast internal mechanisms that make and sustain these flaws...
It is NOT surprising at all to see that children of this age group being persuaded to take up militant activist causes because they REALLY think that they are doing the right thing, and with some additional incentives like a class pizza party, they would not hesitate to participate.
Around the 'leaving home for college' and work age, many kids NATURALLY wake up when they begin to truly recognize the complex mechanism of the human species and that conflict and suffering just cannot be erased by strong activism or raising money for an "awareness concert". That is the reason why trust fund coddling and parents using wealth to buy their kids prestigious college slots and white collar jobs are so harmful for their continued mental development. These children MUST be exposed to the machinery of the world by WORKING their way up from the local gas station to Mike's Hardware and Construction Supply, dealing with rude clients, dealing with shitty managers, dealing with their coworkers who think differently from them, BUSTING THEIR ASS and putting in good performance so they can get more hours every week, taking that overtime, having to put down the XBox and gear up immediately because they are on call that week, and learning to DEAL with life's problems and finding realistic solutions to them. Whatever investments they desire in life, from cars, to homes, to hobbies, should be obtained with the fruits of the work that they had put in.
Ever realize the pattern now that almost ALL of the college aged and mature brats who got arrested for torching police cars or spouting militant leftist shit on social media are kids who had NEVER had to work their way up through life because their parents or somebody else had red-carpeted them right out of high school with bought-and-paid-for private college educations and comfy office jobs where they do not have to do SHIT? These young adults' drivers licenses may show that they are 20-40 years old but their minds are STUNTED like a psychological bonsai tree, still trapped in the idealistic mindset of the 12-16 year old bracket because the adults in their lives had never allowed them to grow further. They are in fact, ACTUAL adult babies and they do not even realize it........ until they get punched in the face for cutting in a grocery store line, get run over for fucking with motorists in the road, or receive a knife through their throat because they thought it would be funny to try to pull a man out of his car at a "protest"... As we had seen in numerous news articles, death proved to be the first, and last wake up call that many of these fruits of a failed education system ever received...
