Branding The Youth Vote: 'Social Justice'

[PoliticalChic]

1.The very Liberal HuffPo was quite concerned with the youth vote in 2014.
"The election of President Obama in 2008 showed record numbers of young people turning out to vote, ... The 111th Congress elected in 2009 by a highly engaged youth electorate ...

This Congress is in stark contrast to the legislature we elected in 2012, a congress which only 45 percent of young people aged 18-29 actually voted for in the 2012 election.

John Zoby wrote in Forbes magazine of the growing might of the millennial generation, declaring "millennials could determine the fate of the Senate."
Millennials make up 14-15 percent of the electorate ..."
Why Millennials Need To Take Back the Midterms Matthew Keating

a. "21.5% of young people, ages 18-29, voted in the 2014 midterm elections, .... a slight increase from the 20.9% youth voter turnout in 2010....13%of votes cast in the 2014 midterm elections were cast by young people, ages 18-29.

Overall, young voters in 2014 favored Democratic Congressional candidates over Republicans.... by 55% to 42%. Young voters also backed Democratic candidates in most Senate races." CIRCLE Youth Voting






2. Younger voters are important to the Liberals, the Leftists, largely because these younger voters don't know anything.
With limited life experience, they can be told anything...and they believe same.

Now....It is my considered perception that older Liberals, Leftists, really don't know much more...but have had far more time in the 'indoctrination tanning bed.'

This is what I mean:
Young people support Barack Obama, in spite of the fact that his policies have caused youth unemployment to skyrocket.

a. "Young America’s Foundation has released its Youth Misery Index (YMI) numbers for 2014, and it’s a record high of 106.5. The Youth Misery Index (YMI) is calculated by adding youth unemployment, student loan debt, and national debt (per capita) numbers.
Youth unemployment in 2014 was 18.1 percent (18.1 on YMI), with almost six million young people between the ages of 16 and 24 not in school or work. "

3. How did it get this way?
Youth are a captive audience under the direction of their teachers and professors. Joseph Schumpeter explained that these intellectuals speak knowledgeably, yet have no actual experience. This, in itself, is laughable…unless one of them becomes the President.

a. “Intellectuals are in fact people who wield the power of the spoken word and the written word, and one of the touches that distinguish them from other people who do the same is the absence of direct responsibility for practical affairs. This touch in general accounts for another- the absence of that first hand knowledge of them which only actual experience can give.”
Joseph Schumpeter, “Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy,” p. 147.


Get that???
Teachers and professors who know nothing influence the youth under their control....
Talk about 'the blind leading the blind.'



And what those 'teachers and professors' 'speak knowledgeably ' about to the youth is the bogus concept called 'SOCIAL JUSTICE.'

How Liberals Ruined College - The Daily Beast

How Liberals Ruined College
College should be a place of new ideas and challenging views. Instead, liberals have made it a place of fear and intimidation.

The root of nearly every free-speech infringement on campuses across the country is that someone—almost always a liberal—has been offended or has sniffed out a potential offense in the making. Then, the silencing campaign begins. The offender must be punished, not just for justice’s sake, but also to send the message to anyone else on campus that should he or she stray off the leftist script, they too might find themselves investigated, harassed, ostracized, or even expelled. If the illiberal left can preemptively silence opposing speakers or opposing groups— such as getting a speech or event canceled, or denying campus recognition for a group—even better.

In a 2014 interview with New York magazine, comedian Chris Rock told journalist Frank Rich that he had stopped playing college campuses because of how easily the audiences were offended. Rock said he realized some time around 2006 that “This is not as much fun as it used to be” and noted George Carlin had felt the same way before he died. Rock attributed it to “Kids raised on a culture of ‘We’re not going to keep score in the game because we don’t want anybody to lose.’ Or just ignoring race to a fault. You can’t say ‘the black kid over there.’ No, it’s ‘the guy with the red shoes.’ You can’t even be offensive on your way to being inoffensive.” Sadly, Rock admitted that the climate of hypersensitivity had forced him and other comedians into self-censorship.

This Orwellian climate of intimidation and fear chills free speech and thought.

Now I see those 'young voters' at school in the classes that I am taking. They are damned smart, and most of them are onto the bullshit you 'Conservatives' dish out. Of course they vote mostly Democrat or 'Rhino' Republican. They are intelligent and sane. Something you people are not.

4. Liberals, Leftists, operate and control the education system, and 'educate' youth the way mushrooms are raised: Kept in the dark, and fed.....manure.


And, about 90% of American children attend public schools. (Fast Facts

And, in public schools, the children are fed a huge dose of "social justice."


The short definition of 'social justice' is the agenda of Alinskyite revolutionaries.




a. "The radicals of the sixties did not remain within the universities…They realized that the apocalypse never materialized. “…they were dropping off into environmentalism and consumerism and fatalism…I watched many of my old comrades apply to graduate school in universities they had failed to burn down, so they could get advanced degrees and spread the ideas that had been discredited in the streets under an academic cover.”
Collier and Horowitz, “Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About The Sixties,” p. 294-295.




b. A perfect example is the man who launched Obama's political career, and wrote his 'autobiography,' Bill Ayers. -''I don't regret setting bombs,''Bill Ayers said. ''I feel we didn't do enough.... he participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, the Pentagon in 1972.'' (No Regrets for a Love Of Explosives - In a Memoir of Sorts a War Protester Talks of Life With the Weathermen - NYTimes.com



The salient point here is that his resume still earned him a tenured position as a college professor.


His motto: "Education is the motor-force of revolution" is an update- on the view of communist John Dewey, the man who changed the name of the Socialist to Liberal.




What sort of 'education' do you suppose folks like this will provide?

Yup.

'Social Justice.'

The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment
The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading.

Right now, we're hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall Street about how unemployment is "down" to 5.6%. The cheerleading for this number is deafening. The media loves a comeback story, the White House wants to score political points and Wall Street would like you to stay in the market.

While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you arenotcounted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren't throwing parties to toast "falling" unemployment.

Right now, the U.S. is delivering at a staggeringlylow rate of 44%, which is the number of full-time jobs as a percent of the adult population,..." The Big Lie 5.6 Unemployment



a. "....the number of Americans not in the labor force rose once again, this time to 93,194K from 93,175K, with the result being a participation rate of 69.45 or just above the lowest percentage since 1977, will merely catalyze even more upside to the so called "market" which continues to reflect nothing but central bank liquidity, and thus - the accelerating deterioration of the broader economy."

As I stated earlier, the youth vote that went for Obama represents today's know-nothings.
And the reason that they know nothing is that the wholly-owned and operated Liberal education industry keeps them that way.
"Social justice" is neither education, nor factual.


5. The National Academy of Scholars explains that “social justice” today "generally equates with the advocacy of more egalitarian access to income through state-sponsored redistribution. The phrase is also frequently used to justify new entitlement rights for individuals and whole categories of people, i.e., legally enforceable claims of individuals or groups against the state itself.


The concept of social justice to meliorate the unequal outcomes of capitalism became the basis for twentieth-century American progressivism, which flowed .... from Herbert Croly’s The Promise of American Life(1909). The progressive state redistributes wealth and other resources to achieve economic and social justice for the disadvantaged."
Social Justice and the Academy National Association of Scholars




6. Perhaps the most influential thinker in terms of his effect on both Wilson and TR, was Herbert Croly. He was the intellectual bridge between these two Presidents. All three were devotees of Bismarck, whose top-down socialism made the middle class dependent on the state.


a. “…almost every single item on a checklist of fascist characteristics can be found in ‘The Promise of American Life.’ The need to mobilize society like an army…spiritual rebirth…the need for ‘great’ revolutionary leaders…Reliance on manufactured, unifying, national ‘myths’…contempt for parliamentary democracy…non-Marxist socialism…Nationalism…A spiritual calling for military expansion…the need to make politics into a religion…hostility to individualism…”
Goldberg, “Liberal Fascism,” p. 98.




It is fascism, filtered through the prism of 'social justice,' that children are taught.

Nothing could be less American than the 'social justice' farrago drilled into the heads of our youth.

[g5000]

Remember Hillary whining about Exxon's "record profits" in 2008 when the price of oil hit the highest price to date?

It's the same kind of innumeracy as the right whining about record numbers of workers not participating in the labor market.

As the size of the labor force increases, the number of non-participants will rise if the LFPR holds steady. That's why the dipshits manipulating rubes like PC will use the NUMBER instead of the RATE. They absolutely depend on the innumeracy of the herd.

Guess what? The LFPR has been holding steady for over a year now.

Guess what else? The LFPR had been falling steadily for about 15 years. Long before most people even heard of Obama. And now that plunge has been halted for over 12 months.

Guess what else? U1, U3, U4, U5, and U6 have all fallen in the past 12 months. And these are measured using the same metrics that were used before the assholes woke up from their comas in January 2009.

So the whiners' complaints about the "discouraged workers" and the number of non-participants are growing exceedingly thin, especially in the face of continuous reports month after month of six figure job hiring which exceeds the rate of new workers entering the labor force. They are full of shit at this point, and are rehashing obsolete memes.

So have fun with your fervent wishes for dire outcomes and economic despair, assholes, and your party-before-country attitude. You are transparent as vodka.

Now I see those 'young voters' at school in the classes that I am taking. They are damned smart, and most of them are onto the bullshit you 'Conservatives' dish out. Of course they vote mostly Democrat or 'Rhino' Republican. They are intelligent and sane. Something you people are not.

For some reason I don't believe a word of this tripe. I have no doubt they vote left but big doubts about their common sense. Most of today's youth vote based on slogans and misinformation. Very few are knowledgeable about current events or government.
