Kids without a clue

Back in my early headmasterish days, the older breed would recount tales of when they were at school, of how they'd escape from the dorm window, slide down and head off for a wicked smoke and [gasp] even some alcohol.

 Then there was what Evelyn Waugh wrote, what Agatha Christie wrote about how girls 'slouched these days', reminiscences to the effect that they were all so naughty, yet there was still an innocence to it, deep down. Then in my yoof, similar substances, similar shenanigans before we had to be home by a certain hour - there was the dad factor to contend with.

There were definitely feckless kids around, gangs, there was one particular housing estate we'd avoid, there were authority figures we'd be cheeky to and run away, we'd put nails on the railway tracks. But the core values were still there, not because dad lectured us at home but because every which way you turned, there were certain things ... well ... you just observed. The messages were universal.

Mid 90s in London and I saw a new crop who were anything but that - surly, inarticulate, utterly without respect, a priori, irrespective of how they were treated. Back again in the late 2000s and my first day home - attacked by a yob who felt I was in his way at the tube train - the thing which stayed with me was how completely out of control he was and the eyes were drugged, beady, but at least he did not pull a knife. Sometime later near where I live now, shopping centre, gaggle of girls bumping people, plus me. 'Do you mind?' I said, they swung around and made to attack as a pack, don't know what stopped them, maybe the look you need to give snarling dogs - but those couple of minutes said so much about what it was like now. 

No need to continue with the examples - just a complete vacuum of any decency towards other humans - what the hell values were these teachers teaching? Any humans with no constraints, fed the drip drip of kool aid by ideologues who should not have been in those roles. This is not about bad behaviour, it's about zero compunction, no socialisation.  Britain was always more feral that way, over in the States, the place where kids would get up before lessons and pledge to the flag - now it's this:

 

I'd venture to say the contrast might be far more stark than in downtown areas where they'd play Ringolevio with violence. These are middle-class left liberal family kids, this lot, even kids from better families who got out to join the fun.  And this constant thing about 'racism'?  What's that about? 

But even that's cream puff when you look at Allison Mack, the Pizzagate post, the spirit cooking  - seriously sick stuff beyond any form of civilisation.  And many of those adults were just as bad. 

Do I mean none of those kids at all were 'good kids' inside? There's a double answer.  First - of course there are good ones inside who've just been led astray but even the evil ones fully believe it's for a Greater Good, just as Muslims think chopping bits off people, whipping and throwing people off buildings is a fine way to act.

There've always been leftists in places of 'education', it's a breeding ground but what tipped it over the edge as it is now? Short answer of course is evil muvvers of the global push. 

And so to tomorrow, around 5 p.m. our time.  How utterly bizarre is it that there are people who could possibly think gaining power this way is ok?  The words 'morally retarded' and 'without principle' readily trip off the tongue.

And finally there's Jim Hoft himself, Gatestone, Mossad ... let's just say I'm as circumspect about that as I was about Nethanyahu in London town on 7/7.  Ben Shapiro is another.

And the bunnies are our kids and even their parents now.
