Pathetic

Lmao.

Make a Soviet version of Risk (if it doesn't already exist) and have the real meaning of 123 on it as a surprise learning expirience. Make sure that the cover is covered in Soviet propaganda and hammer & sickles.

Oh yeah. That seems like it would appeal to a lot of the kids nowadays.

Unfortunately

Sadly I think it’s a little bit the fault of those who came before. Kids nowadays grow up knowing everything is a lie or some angle someone’s pulling. They can’t have faith in education or industry or government or any of it. Someone is always trying to mislead them for their own goals. So while we may have seen what the Cold War was like, Vietnam, or the aftermath of WW2, they didn’t. It’s just something that happened before they were born and stories. So they see this “boogie man” that makes all these “old people” scared and upset and figure that fear is based on the desire to keep a system that they reject. A perfect tool for them to make change. But they don’t REALLY realize what these things are. They only see the parts they want to in history but never saw what it was actually like. We can tell them- but they’ll just think we are lying to manipulate them or because we were manipulated.

Yeah but that true for every generation. We were told continuously that all the manufacturing jobs would be gone. That is partial true and it did look very bad for a lot of industries . We never can predict what will happen , only guess. There are still core areas for kids to gravitate to, like plumbing , wielding ,nursing, and such that really can't be outsourced. It's scary becoming an adult , not really knowing jack shit and trying to make life decisions.

Well said.
