Help a Hipster - Guiding the misguided
I was at the gun range the other day with my friend Blake. We were talking about World news, what's going on with our Country, the economy and where we are headed. You know, the things concerned Americans talk about. Blake's son Trevor was with us. Trevor is a young millennial of let's say the "Hipster" persuasion. Trevor is a bit socially awkward. He's wearing sandals at the range, kinda' feminine, has no interest in shooting and generally doesn't fit in but Blake wants nothing more than to do father-son things with his boy. So in the hopes of connecting with his son, Blake attempts to create these bonding moments.
The problem is Trevor has a very difficult time building rapport with people and always has his face in his phone. So, as the conversation evolved into the topic of our Constitution Trevor chimed in and started to tell us how right-wing religious tyrants created the Constitution. I was shocked to hear him speak at all, but even more surprised by what he was saying. His dad asked him where he heard such a thing and Trevor told him that is was common knowledge and that his Dad should really bone up on a little history once in awhile. Talk about losing connection with your own son.
Trevor didn't know a thing about the Constitution but had a lot of opinions and this started to make Blake a bit concerned. I could see fear and embarrassment in my friend's eyes as he attempted to talk some sense into his son. The mood quickly went down hill and we wrapped things up and went home.
I couldn't help but think about what happened for the rest of the day and I wondered how it is that our young people have fallen so easily for the left-wing propaganda. My thought is that it is easier for them to latch on to that group and ideology because it promises many things that they would otherwise have to work for. Things like an entitlement mind-set, which is needed to convince oneself that it's ok to live with your parent and not work for a living and a feeling of being smarter and superior to others. Being liberal also allows you the ability to feel like a victim and constantly complain of being offended while demanding everyone else accommodate you on social issues and pander to your whining. It has it all, you would think. But what the liberal movement really does is rob some people of their own self-respect. It takes away their power to recognize their own self-worth, their ability to be proud of a job well done and the empowering feeling of standing up for true American values - values that made this Country great. So while these young liberal men are pouring lattes, working to perfect their feminine demeanor and demanding that people stop recognizing gender, there are other young men out there who aspire to be men - strong, confident, proud men. Those are the guys who will grow up to understand accomplishment and pride. They are the ones who will take over management of this great country. They are the ones who will run the major corporations and actually do the hard work that will need to be done to succeed.
I am scared for these "liberal boy-girl-whatevers" because I think they are being badly misled by a movement that does not have their best interest in mind and will ultimately leave them facing a cruel world without the tools necessary to make it. Its time we get back to recognizing the fact that men are men and women are women. It does nobody any good to blur the two. So while the "liberal boy-girl-whatevers" are rallying against big business and not having sex because they think it objectifies their female counterparts, the real men are running away with the prize. It's kind of sad that they think they are doing the right thing based on what their ideology dictates but the rest of us just view them as strange little characters that seem to be missing the point.
As Americans it is our responsibility to guide this lost group. We need them to be productive. We need them to be proud. We need them to be men.
