In the freest country on earth, young people are the primarily tools of mob violence, terrorism and anarchy. Young refers to teens and adults in their 20’s. Yep, get it out of the way — there are exceptions. This fact isn’t shocking to anyone. By far, young men commit most of the violent crimes in America. By the time an individual reaches 35, his taste for criminal activity lessens dramatically. When the older generation commits crime, the motives are generally pragmatic, thoughtful, reasoned. Cheat in business for money, murder parents for money, murder a spouse for freedom and money, murder a lover over jealousy. Yep, get it out of the way — there are exceptions. Teens and young adults are much more haphazard and spontaneous in their criminal behavior — b&e, robbing, raping, drug-related killings, gang killings, etc. Hormones raging, today’s rioters have an agenda rooted in racism, resentment, political ideology and simple anger. They operate under the authority of justifiable violence as many of America’s reputable institutions endorse their alleged “grievances.” Just as “the poor are always with us,” so are young agitators. To be fair, you have to cut them some slack. You remember agitating in 10th grade biology, leading the entire class* to go on strike, protesting an unfair test. Child’s play for sure, compared to blowing up buildings. But there’s still a connection. Teens and young adults are by nature afflicted with a brain disorder brought on by two interrelated “infections” — ignorance and arrogance. Yep, get it out of the way — there are exceptions. To adults who have toiled for a lifetime, there is nothing more annoying than hearing the blathering stupidity of young “intellects” who believe they invented knowledge and truth — who don’t have the common sense to know that everything they ever thought was thought a thousand years ago. The ignorance is dizzying; the arrogance vulgar. You can forgive youth their unbridled passion until the age of 16. By then, they should be tried as adults. But few reading this rant would agree. After all, college students now must have access to “safe spaces.” Sportscasters refer to 26-year-old athletes as “kids.” Parents decorate their vehicles with stickers that read “I have a great honor student.” There’s no mention he’s a 29-year-old living in the basement. As unseasoned as young Americans are, their supreme ignorance is in not grasping that they own the greatest gift in human history — their Individual Sovereignty (IS). To be fair, you can’t blame them, because most Americans don’t get it either. They think sovereignty simply means “free.” Sure, its does, but more profound than that. IS is the polar opposite to Group Identity (GI). Look around. GI owns the playing field. Almost everyone identifies with a group, thinks like a group, acts like a group and pays homage to a group — or “gang” is more like it. Political parties are gangs, Mafia-like. Nancy Pelosi is the Godmother. Dem House members obey the leadership or kiss their careers goodbye. Ditto the GOP. BLM is a gang. There are thousands of others, extreme left and extreme right. They have two things in common — (1) members identify with and are obedient to the group narrative, and (2) the goal is power. All wars depend on GI. The Nazi Party, circa 1930’s, represented the classic example. BTW, the goose steppers are still stepping. America is certainly not immune to despotism. She has been fractured by GI. Black Americans are black first and always, defined by their group. Yep, get it out of the way — there are exceptions. LGBTQ is a group knitted in the mosaic of its sexuality. The Aryan Brotherhood is dedicated to white supremacy. You can count over 130 feminist organizations. Evidently, NOW couldn’t cover the depth of female discrimination. The Anti Defamation League keeps Anti-Semitism on the front burner. Okay, you get this thesis — GI is a virulent malignancy that infects this country and others. It will not go away because human nature remains fixed. Nonetheless, you look for the day when the true spirit of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States makes a bold move and authors a comeback — when individuals avoid “group think” and associate as individuals — one to one — when individuals may honestly discriminate without fear — when they can love and hate as they see fit, say what they think, be responsible and individually bear the slings and arrows aimed against them. As a sovereign, you have the right to accept or reject anyone or anything — that freedom is America’s true essence — the astonishing story behind Her wonder, bounteous history and audacious tribute to the Rights of Man.
