Democrats fear fascists, Republicans think fascism is necessary.
to be clear: this poll kind of actually exists, but I want to know: did you edit any of that in, and if so, which part?
Imagine thinking decadence is a bad thing
“are children today too happy and well fed?”
Two kinds of people.
1
I suffered to get where I am, no one should have to go through that, we can do better.
2
I suffered to get where I am, everyone should suffer like I did.The conservative mindset is #2, “No one should have it better than me!”
You’re forgetting 3. If people who are in an out-group aren’t suffering more than I am, I feel oppressed.
Kids these days don’t need to suffer, but a bit of hardship and discipline can be a good thing. I like the idea of some kind of mandatory year of military service, like they used to have, but not necessarily in the military, because that’s bullshit. You should be able to do other community services like cleaning public places or helping the elderly or check train tickets. It should also not clash with any study careers or anything. I’m not sure it’s feasible, I haven’t really thought this out exactly, but I’m sure someone’s willing to point out everything that’s wrong with this idea.
Maybe a mandatory year in fast food or retail.
