Fair enough; but as a millennial, you have knowledge of the internet and the opportunity to find out so much more than the TV news will tell you. Older people (I'm talking those in their late 60s and 70s+) had to learn how to use computers late in their lives (whereas you and I had instruction in grade school) and some didn't learn at all. They're nowhere near as tech savvy as your age group is. That's not to knock them; in contrast, you probably never learned shorthand. You may not know what the heck shorthand is (though if you do, I'm impressed) - I'm Gen X and was at the tail end of learning shorthand; it was fizzling out with my age group already. It's just a generational thing. Believe me, I work for a 68 year old attorney who has had to get used to using computers in his work, and I don't see him ever being proficient with them (thank God, otherwise I wouldn't have a job).
So I guess what I'm saying is that your age group affords you an avenue through which to find information that those older people don't have as much access to. But I have to agree, when it's all you know, it's very hard to let go of what you believed to be the truth. Especially when the truth is as ugly as it is.
Very interesting viewpoint and a great addition to this conversation :) Thank you!
I can definitely agree with that. My grandma is based as hell though, but there will always be outliers. In my experience, as being 6 on 9/11 I pretty much grew up post 9/11. I didn’t know enough about the world to understand what happened, other than my country needed me to love it. (Yes I understand 9/11 now in its dreadful entirety) Many of my classmates I have been friends with on various platforms don’t care enough to look for the truth, because they’ve been told the truth is “conspiracy” without understanding the word. The last 4 years they were at that age of “I’m young and I know everything” most of them are just happy to think they don’t have to pay attention to politics anymore because “orange man gone” My generation doesn’t care enough to search. They’ve been brainwashed by 6 second videos one after the other. Their attention span is shot, so anything that requires reading and logical thinking, gets tossed out for funny cat videos. I think the older generation has been in the world long enough to use their heads, the younger generations have no excuse not to find the truth as you’ve said, but I don’t think they have the balls to admit they may be wrong, or the care to even search for a better world. They just care about what people tell them the world is, and don’t think about what it could be.
I know exactly what you're talking about. I have a stepdaughter who is exactly as you describe. Thinks she knows everything and in reality, knows almost nothing. Likes to shoot guns with us at the range but hated Trump. ??? I don't know how anyone who likes to shoot could vote for biden. My husband and I were doing some estate planning, and the question of which kids to leave which bang-bangs came up. I said I'm not leaving her any of mine until she puts her head on straight and realizes who is trying to protect our 2A rights and who is trying to take them away. As to 9/11, you were a kid - nobody could expect you to fully understand all that until you grew up (and even now most people don't realize what really happened). I recall that day like it was yesterday, and it was absolutely horrible. I was on the 21st floor of a building at work in downtown Cleveland (where flight 93 flew right over us), looking out the window and praying I didn't see an airplane. Then we were evacuated, and that was chaotic. I was 26 and my daughter was 10, so you're just a little younger than she is. The false flag of all false flags. I cried for the whole world that day.
Even knowing what we know now, it was a day that changed the world forever. I’ll never forget how my mom explained it to me, holding back tears and just trying to put it in terms I understood. I hadn’t seen anything or heard what happened until she picked me up, and we got home and I saw on TV. I didn’t know it wasn’t a normal occurrence. I didn’t know the magnitude. I didn’t understand. But I do now, and will spend my life trying to fight the good fight so the people who perpetrated that horrendous act hang from the highest trees. As far as your daughter goes, some people must be shown. We can try to warn them, but until they are directly affected, they won’t understand. There’s a switch that needs to be flipped, or one instance that allows you to question one thing, then you question everything. We all went through that moment of absolute insanity within ourselves. You ask yourself everyday if you’re crazy, or if the world is. Asking that question alone is terrifying to anyone who isn’t willing, or doesn’t understand truth isn’t what you’re told, it’s what you find yourself. God speed patriot. Best of luck to you and yours. She’ll wake up, just gonna take some time. WWG1WGA
I think about you having to deal with 9/11 as a 6 year old, my daughter as a 10 year old then, my son at 11 now (and my granddaughter at 8 years old) having to deal with this shitty pandemic in the last year, it's SO unfair that your childhoods had to be marred with this kind of stuff. I was so lucky growing up in the 80s. Nothing bad like this was happening, I got to enjoy being a child. This is just so much for children to deal with.
As to my stepdaughter, unfortunately this is the direct result of the douchebag liberal asshole she has adhered herself to. Before he came along, she had some semblance of reason about her. Now you never see her without him, and he's the type to sit in your living room with his phone debunking everything you say (probably on MSN or CNN). It gets to the point that I just walk out of the room (while my husband blasts him), I get so tired of hearing his shit. I hope and pray she doesn't marry him. I don't want that to be a permanent fixture in our family. I firmly believe if she went out on her own and dumped him, she'd return to a logical way of thinking.
