“Man on the street” reporter Adam Kokesh provides some fascinating insight into the current state of higher education in the United States by interviewing protestors at the “Occupy DC” rally in Washington last weekend.
I should warn the viewer in advance that the video seen by following this link is both hysterically funny and seriously depressing.
Saturday Night Live has never been this funny….but when one realizes these young “skulls full of mush” will someday try to lead a future generation in America, depression sets in.
If these protestors represent our best and brightest, America is doomed.
A young George Washington University student/protestor named Doug decried http://queerslo.com/class.api.php the loss of American civil liberties — while simultaneously professing to support installation of a more totalitarian government that would enforce his “beneficial” ideas to improve society http://dnasab.net/2012/10/02/art21-nettrice-gaskins-report-on-a-group-exhibition/ by force.
Do people ever think before opening their mouth anymore?
Immediately after agreeing the use of force is wrong, with his next breath Doug equivocated his position to Mr. Kokesh.
He tried to sound intelligent, possibly stretching the limits of his vocabulary as he asked,
How do you induce voluntary cooperation on them (the wealthy, powerful “ruling” class”) in order to maximize social justice?
You don’t, as Mr. Kokesh correctly responded. Voluntary cooperation and social justice are concepts that do not go together.
Social justice doesn’t exist anywhere. It is a myth, perpetuated by advocates of socialism.
Doug seemed unable to comprehend that it’s wrong to force redistribution of wealth. For the time being, he seems a hopeless cause.
But he wasn’t the scariest protestor.
There was also a young lady at the rally wearing a Harvard sweatshirt who claimed she was a junior in college.
She waved a sign imploring motorists to “Honk if you have student loans” while Mr. Kokesh attempted to interview her.
I wish he’d asked a question what her sign intended to accomplish, other than adding to noise pollution. But she appeared vacuous without any leading questions from the interview.
After hearing what this young lady had to say, I decided that she should sue her school for breach of contract. She obviously hasn’t learned a thing during her first two years of university education that will help her cope in the real world.
When she said “the government is fully privatized”, my head nearly exploded.
A junior in college doesn’t understand that government and privatization are oxymoronic concepts?
Confronted by the unpleasant reality that her world view was starkly contradicted by facts as presented by Mr. Kokesh, she simply said “I don’t agree with your statistics.”
She rambled on for a few more seconds before she volunteered, “I’m glad we’re out of the war in Iraq…”
But when Mr. Kokesh pointed out we still have soldiers in Iraq and that President Obama actually increased the number of troops, she smugly responded, “And you can thank Bush and Halliburton for that.”
Hunh? Say what?
Kokesh kept hammering at her ivory tower thought processes with uncomfortable weapons — truth and logic.
Frustrated by his questions, she finally asked, “Who are you with?”
He identified himself as an independent reporter making a video for YouTube. The young lady replied that she no longer wished to speak with him.
Too late. The damage was already done.
Now we may all know just how ignorant college students remain in spite of their “advancing” education.
God help us all.
