You’ve
never struggled
You
whine and riot.
Your
life is not hard.
The
Gleaners Jean-François Millet
This
is when life was hard in France
And
in America:

Those
were generations that were poor but great in spirit.
They
knew drought, dust, dirt, hunger, homelessness, and poverty.
They
slept in fields, roadsides, on city streets.
Their
clothes were worn, often rags.
In
France they heard Nazi soldiers march though their streets.
They
were afraid but did not whine.
They
endured and fought a real enemy.
How
ironic that you’ve become the enemy
destroying
communities.
You
set fires to business, firetrucks, cars, motorcycles, everything.
You
are the arsonists, not the cops.
The
cops don’t break, destroy, set fires, or loot.
You
do.

You
are not your ancestors.
You
never heard the Nazis marching through the streets.
Their
lives were truly hard, deadly so.
Instead
of enduring suffering
and
struggling to overcome suffering
as
your grandparents did
you
whine and cause suffering.
That
is why they are the greatest generation
and
you’re not.
They
struggled
day
after day
month
after month
year
after year.
Coming
from the Mill L.S. Lowry
They
did not seek to destroy their cities.
The
Germans did that.
They
were your Greatest Generation
because
they sought to preserve their homeland
not
destroy it.
They
didn’t smash and loot (steal!).
With
your violent destructive outburst and anger
you
may think you are like them.
You’re
not.

Yes,
it is true.
You
have been betrayed
by
politicians blinded by ideology
who
pursue personal wealth
and
to be celebrities.

Then
get rid of them
instead
of burning, destroying, and looting.
You
live in a democracy.
Macron
is a poor politician
but
not a monster such as Putin
who
can’t be voted out of office.
You
have no enemy as your grandparents did.
You
didn’t value schools, teachers, or books
before
you deserted them.
So,
I must ask
why
the change of heart?
When
you had teachers
you
disliked them.
You
ignored them.
When
you didn’t have them
you
still had books.
But
study is work.
Ruckus
play is fun.
Study
requires discipline.
Rioting
is an easy form of self-expression.
Freedom requires neither knowledge nor wisdom.
Creativity
is hard.
Destruction
is easy.
Breaking
stuff makes one feel powerful
like
a frustrated child
who
breaks a toy
given
to him by his parents.
Great Depression Mom and Her Children Dorothea Lange
When
a little hardship enters your lives
I
say a little because you still have a home.
You
have food on the table
and
most likely a television, computer, and cell phone.
Judging
by images smartly dressed.
Great Depression Mother, Father & Child Dorothea Lange
You
are not homeless.
You
do not sleep in alleys or on doorsteps.
You
need not beg for money
to
buy something to eat.
When
sick or injured
you
will be cared for
by
the state you so much hate.
Your
grandparents endured far greater hardship
with
dignity.
You
whine and riot and destroy.
Your
ancestors struggled.
Your
parents may struggle,
but
you do not.
You
only whine and destroy but have homes to go back to,
food
to eat, medical care if sick or injured.
You
didn’t value schools before you deserted them
so why now?
ö ö ö
And
immigrants
why
do you remain
in
a country you hate,
among
a people you hate,
whose
culture you hate?
It’s
all alien to you.
You
hate Western Civilization
its
arts, philosophy, and science.
You
reject Christianity as I do,
but
you also reject wise man Jesus
who
would have also rejected Christianity
had
he lived.
You
reject Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu
because
they prefer peace to violence
and
harmony to suffering causing disorder.
You
thrive on disorder and violence causing suffering.
So
why stay in a place you hate so much,
a
place you do not want to belong to,
a
place that is alien to you,
a
place you will not call home ever?
One
wonders why your people came
to
Europe. Why was your home country abandoned?
Could
it be because European nations
consistently
dominate the top spots
for
healthcare, safety, and economic stability?
You
want the healthcare, safety, and economic stability
but
hate the people and the culture that created
the
healthcare, safety, and economic stability you want.
You yourselves repudiate multiculturalism
as much as your critics do.
So why not return to monocultural homeland?
ö ö ö
A
country can only do so much for its people.
Yes,
ask what your country can do for you,
but
also ask what you can do for your country.
Rather
than just whining about what you don’t have,
you
can begin by being thankful for what you do have
rather
than destroying it for yourselves
and
for others who are thankful rather than hateful.
