Why are full grown adults acting like children?

[Anonymous]

A significant number of "students" protesting are not affiliated with the universities. It's also why this is more of an urban university issue.

Great post, OP. As it relates to our current political landscape, many adults are indeed not thinking and acting like adults. Over the past two to three decades and with very effective use of modern media, the wealthy and powerful people and entities controlling our two-party system have pushed nonstop toxic partisan political narratives to successfully divide the American public into two very distinct "sides" to a degree not seen since the American Civil War. Those seeking to remain in power have found that the "us" vs "them" mentality is a great tool for keeping the sheep in line and maintaining status quo. Adults of all backgrounds have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker. Partisan control in government has become more important in the minds of voters than a fully functioning government that operates in the beautiful manner in which it is intended to operate. Who cares if the long standing problems our country faces are never addressed and resolved as long as anyone with a pulse on our side is victorious over the evil other side? One day, probably sooner than later, the dysfunction in our Federal Government will have a noticeable impact on the day to day quality of life experienced by most of us and that's what it will take for adults to start acting like adults and for the American people to reclaim control over the process of determining who can and should be serving as our leaders in government.

Yes, agree 10000%. What I think is interesting through is that this domestic political manipulation is now also being weaponized by foreign adversaries. This is a whole new ball game. And it’s terrifying.

Very true and it is scary. The further divided our people are, the weaker and more vulnerable our country becomes and our foreign adversaries are absolutely doing their best to contribute to that division in manipulative ways. We need a once in several generations great leader to emerge and guide us back to unification with an understanding that 95% of our people share the same core values. If left to the people to figure this out, I'm afraid it will take a world war or a realized decline in quality of life before we regain that understanding.

Because there are no adults on college campuses any more. College administrators are chosen from the faculty ranks. So just a bunch of people who teach because they can’t do. So, so, sad.

Humans who lack a common enemy will always turn against each other. Civil War or Conquest - it’s your choice.

If the Uniparty gives away our power to the WHO (now in progress), it’ll be too late to reclaim anything. The globalist agenda must be immediately stopped.

We have infantilized an entire segment of the adult U.S. population.

Who do you believe did this to us?

Globalists don’t want truly educated citizens who can think for themselves. Their agenda is for the masses to become obedient cult followers who will own nothing and be happy.
We must now think twice before pushing kids to these indoctrination camps pretending to be learning institutions.

Thank you. I speak much more like OP. I wish I could speak more like this. I think the world needs both though. Part of the problem is people can't even read anymore. Its "too much work".

Writing in a unclear, meandering manner is not effective if you want people to understand what you're saying. Writing concisely is much harder for most people because it requires them to be more precise with their analysis and word choice. I still don't understand what OP was trying to say and OP doesn't seem to care to explain.

Not much of a scholar, are we? Just respond to RFPs?

Oh my. choked on my coffee.
The OP was finely written and it's v. early on a Saturday. We should all be stretching those brains and reading paragraphs, nay, VOLUMES of glorious literature.

Thank you. Appreciate the sentiment.

You are welcome and I would like everyone on here (capable of reading paragraphs) to continue to discuss. The college issue is a good one. If you find yourself rooting against college students and for "the establishment" you need to check yourself. But kids in college doing that they should be doing (learning! questioning!) aside, we need to be there, be stable, and be adult for when they grow up a bit. We are setting a terrible example.
