What is left selling to kids:
Sex - (feels great) Drugs - (feels great) Horrible Music - (these dumbshits like it) Violence - (feels great) Your gonna go to mars! - (carrot dangle) You can be anything including a woman or a man - (feels great) You can make money any way you want, even for nothing! - (feels great) Everyone is the same - (feels great) Ultimate Inclusivity - (feels great)
What are we selling to the kids: Get out of debt (hard but satisfying) Get married - (extremely difficult, and lots of maintenance) Have kids - (extremely difficult, expensive, but the literal point of life)
We either need to have more enticing offerings, or breakdown the spells cast by zee grabbler. I think we have to smash them over their head with the Reality-stick.
We’re failing because our government rewards failure. Have kids outta wedlock? Government will pay for them? Don’t feel like working? Government will subsidize you. Don’t feel like saving money? That’s okay, Government punishes that kind of responsibility anyway. We need a near total economic collapse to actually “win”
We are definitely heading towards that
