Here's the thing...
It began with the idea you couldn't spank your children. When a kid did something wrong, they would get a nice painful swat across their ass to let them KNOW they did wrong, and that when they do such, there is punishment. Pussified liberal douchebags took this away.
Then they put an end to the practice of "Failing" students. Someone who didn't meet the requirements for advancement used to be held back until they finally could meet said requirements. Thus, all high-school graduates would be comparable in skills and knowledge, and we had an educational standard we could bank on. Mentally deficient psychologists robbed us of this with the bullshit notion that holding a child back is worse for their development than pushing them forward into higher education well beyond their retarded little brains. Now, a high school diploma is worth nothing save proof that you sat in a crowded room five days a week for twelve/thirteen years.
Along comes the "Can't Say No" crowd, who whole-heartedly believe it's bad for a child to tell them no. Before this, you had two options for every query, Yes and No. This more than anything, robbed parents of their authority over their children. As a parent, your word is to be law, not a request. "Honey, please don't touch that" is NOT how to speak to a child. "No! Don't touch that Casey!" is the appropriate response. No, Don't, Stop, Forbid... An entire generation of children being raised with no concept of these words, it can't be good. New Age fuckwits with faith in tabloid psychology caused this one, may they rot in the nine layers of Baator for it.
Moving forward (in time, not progress), we hit the more recent trend of "Participation Trophies". The hard truth of the world is that Second Place is the First Looser. Life is not the Olympics, it does not grant Gold Silver and Bronze, there is Win or Lose, Pass or Fail. Most of the time, you get nothing for second place, less than nothing for being 34th in 100. But telling children that results matter more than effort, that victory is important, is "shattering" to their self esteem. You can't tell a child they lost, so trophies for everyone. The problems arising from this; first is that victory becomes meaningless, if you get a trophy for no effort, why bother trying? The second problem is that those losers who got participation rewards grow up thinking they should be rewarded every time they fail, and rewarded for every thing they do. This trend is the fault of spineless coaches and educators who felt it easier to give everyone some small prize than tell the losers that they are losers.
At least people can do things for themselves... Or they used to be able to. Now we have "helicopter parents" who assist and manage every aspect of their childrens' lives. If Johnny doesn't do his homework, mom will do it for him. If a coach doesn't give Stevie a place on the football team, dad will have some words with him. These kids grow up, and don't know how to do anything themselves. This is the parents' fault, no doubt about it. Creating a scene when their precious fucking snowflake doesn't get the entire world on a silver platter, may they all die of some horrid ass fungus.
So where does all this leave us? These children are the future employees of all the companies in our country. How can we let the baby boomers retire when the oncoming generation is so fucking useless? They have no education, can't even do simple math without a calculator or computer. They expect high pay for minimal work, and a reward every time they complete a simple task. You can't deny them anything or they'll quit, can't ask them to DO anything, or they'll quit. And the businesses are going to be in such short supply of workers, that they will actually have to hire these fucking wastes of skin.
If I could abort the entire upcoming generation, I would. It's a scary prospect that in less than thirty years, liberalist bullshit and hippie psychology have undone centuries of progress and social growth. And these children will raise their children in much the same manner. Idiocracy is not just a film, it's the future. Humanity is going straight to hell, and it's riding the short bus to get there.
