"My generation will start a revolution! Socialism will rule!"

Every generation believes they've got everything figured out, eh? 

When people have different income or wealth, it must be a plot by duh rich to oppress duh po'!  If nations want to control their borders, it's a plot by raaaacists!  

When old fogies (anyone over 25) claim there are only two genders, it's a sexist plot! 

When taxpayers say "We oppose giving people who were never slaves tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars apiece for being great-great-grandchildren of slaves," it must be a raaaaacis' plot! 

When citizens of a country want illegal invaders to go back to the shitholes they came from (i.e. to be deported, it must be a raaaacis' plot!   

When 80% of the citizens of a country want to pass a law that will establish rules to ensure that only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections, it must be a raaaacis' plot! 

 

Of course there ARE conspiracies--most of which are designed to make fortunes for the conspirators, or to destroy a country so those who triggered the destruction can pick up the pieces.  The hard part is telling REAL conspiracies from tales told by people who wanna destroy a country.

And the number of people in that last category is HUGE.

Member of the DSA:  "We have NO idea what you're blathering about!  Cuz we do NOT wanna destroy the U.S.  Nope nope nope!  Totally absurd!  Just a 'conspiracy theory!'  All we wanna do iz replace duh eeeeebil capitalist system wif faaabulous communism, under which no one is forced to WORK more than they want to!  But they can have anything they want, eh?

Cuz see, dat how communism work!  "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need!"  Dat inspiring phrase is right from duh pen of duh great Marx himself!
