Globalism is a failed experiment, but Millennials are too darn brainwashed to see that. A staggering 75 per cent of people aged 18 to 24 voted to “remain” in the recent Brexit referendum.
Since then, painfully irritating declarations, and whiny memes have littered my social media threads by folks in that age very cohort, blaming baby-boomers for their supposedly sad state.
Tonight, I tell you why millennials should be thanking boomers, even looking up to those they demonize. Lucky for Europe, boomers understand something that has been beaten out their youth's psyche: the concept of the individual.
Then, InfoWars.com's Paul Joseph Watson joins me to talk about a post-Brexit Britain and the justified war against globalism.

Ron, most liberals grow up to become conservatives. Time to put down the soother. "
Actually, this phenomenon is actually more a matter of people staying the same, and society changing around them. What were “liberal” views in 1975 are considered quite anachronistically conservative now. People’s beliefs tend to remain fairly constant over their lives – in fact, there is evidence they actually become slighlty more liberal as they age, although more slowly than society in general. This is particularly those with higher education levels and/or careers that required constant adaptation, which is why modern conservatives are so overwhelmingly blue collar.

“Conservatism is the blind and fear-filled worship of dead radicals.”

I have to agree that the leave side has to be extra vigilant now, this is where the other side turns to their principal argument, yelling, accusing, fear mongering and on and on.
The EU is a Failing Entity . . . you can hear the tax-sucking despots from here . . .
“O brave new world that hath such people in it!” – Shakespeare, The Tempest
If the younger ,pampered, and more ‘educated’ feel leaving was the wrong road they can move to a European country still in the wonderful union. They are lucky they were reeled in from their youthful ignorance. It would have been the end of Britain.
They’re separate variables. Younger people were more likely to vote to stay. More educated people of all ages were more likely to vote to stay. Wealthier people of all ages were more likely to vote to stay. Less educated, poorer, and older were more likely to vote to Brexit, but all three variables are again independent.
If you think things are tough with an education in Europe right now, try not having one. As few jobs as there are for educated Britons, there are none – literally, none – for those with no education.
Common sense and “real world matters” are a matter of experience, and if an employer has a choice between similarly common-sensical individuals who do or do not have a degree, they’ll hire the educated one (the whole idea that “common sense” is the predominant domain of the uneducated is bizarre). That’s a major source of the resentment behind Brexit (but also the resentment behind the hostility towards immigrants, and the increasing aggressive anti-intellectualism). It’s unclear how a Brexit will actually solve that as globalization is not a root cause of labour obsolescence.

Andrew if EU is so great why is Europe in the dumps when it comes to their economies? Oh sorry did i bring up reality. "
Demographics.
That opening monologue may be the single greatest thing you have ever committed to video. How do we reach the rest of this (your) millennial cohort?
What was it that woke you up? I am Gen X and this same drivel was being hammered into me all through my formative years. Point being, this goes back a lot longer than most people even know. Can’t imagine what it must be like in the public school system these days.
As for globalization, they aren’t even really that. They all like the idea of shopping at city farmer’s markets. Eat local is a faddy term they throw out with ease. Climate changers (& they’re always globalists) haven’t thought out the stupidity of flying apples in from Chile instead of trucking them in from an orchard 300 miles away. When everything is imported, including the plug in their kitchen sink, it just means there’s more jet fuel exhaust out there that carbon taxes don’t remove.
I am just sorry that the people of Britain will have to suffer so much, with the lower currency and fewer trading partners.
Still, that have had worse before. In suffering the people have strength.
The youth which were the ones who voted overwhelmingly to stay in the EU are not the more economically successful people. Check the youth unemployment in the EU. It is staggeringly high. And as to their education, that is questionable. Having a degree does not necessarily mean you are more educated, at least in common sense and real world matters … the things that really count.
The socialism indoctrinated into the youth today has nothing to do with collective and societal responsibility.
