"The children are our Future." Never has a sweet sentimental adage been more abused by its utterers by adults with visions of their own dangerous and demented futures, than when Hitler's Youth was in existence from 1922 t0 1945.

As the mother of a 10 year old, I often look at my child's future, and my stomach cramps with ulcerated fear. Global warming, no economy, Constitutional shredding... yes, he will be up against so much, but nothing scares me more than the cultural acceptance of violence as part of life that ingrains every part of his world. Nearly every video game made and marketed, the most successful of these, are always military and murderous in nature. Our children weren't suckled on sandlot baseball games in the neighborhoods, they were nursed on "Lets blow the bad guys away!"
And they are now taking the next rational step in creating a Paramilitary Nation of Citizens who hate, and are dying to kill "Bad Guys" in real time.
This is what the Boy Scout affiliate, Explorer Scouts now looks like:


From encouraging little girls being "EXCITED" solely by the gun aspect, to dressing actors for them to fight in traditional Muslim garb, to telling them to slam suspects in the ground and grind a knee in their backs; we are training these kids to ENJOY the degradation and killing of anyone their superiors tells them is the "bad guy."
They are training them to support border control and take out Mexicans as well, hoping to create the perfect agent: Bloodthirsty and on a Jihad to take out immigrants.
I fear for my son. I know I am raising him right. I do. But when hundreds of his peers run off to play paintball every weekend when he turns 13, and I ostracize him from his own society in order not to glorify that violent bloodlust, will he rebel against me?
They are playing this by the tainted book that Dictatorial Societies always try when Empires collapse.
Divide the people. Create scapegoats. Teach them killing for their country is "Just" and "Good." Insulate the police and military societies into siege mentality that "civ's and perps" just don't get it, that they are the Real America and the Insiders.
Make it "FUN" to kill.
Even should he turn out a young man of whom I am eternally proud, what society will he be living in when he and his peers come of age?
A polarized paramilitary society, where privacy is treason, you are either "for us or against us" and brutality is the norm.

Technology has long surpassed humanity, and propaganda always beats education, especially in a society where real education is suppressed, and questioning is akin to treason. This society is proving in real time that the rules we have made for ourselves no longer apply, and that those who wield the power will blatantly break them anytime they choose with no repercussion.
Uneducated masses with no way out are easy prey for indoctrination. Are they taking violence-suckled babies and creating soldiers or monsters?
You see, I do believe children are our future.
I for one, have had the absolute shit scared out of me.
