And it hit me that we are the Capital in the Hunger Games. The metaphor does not extend to the fact that we took anything from anyone (which of course is the core argument the Left wants to make for why our society and cultural order should be destroyed), and we do in fact work hard to help other nations develop, but the fact remains that even ordinary people in this country live like kings compared to most of the world.
We have roofs that don’t leak. Astonishingly, we have machines to heat and cool our homes. We have clean running water. We have indoor plumbing and reliable sewers (in much of the world they shit in the street or in holes somewhere without toilet paper, which can cause disease). If we have insect or rodent infestations, we can call somebody to get them out.
We have shoes. Most of us have multiple pairs of shoes, and socks. We have clothes, many clothes, and miraculous machines to clean them.
A great many of us have cars, and in cities there are buses and trains for those who don’t.
Our world is safe, by and large. There are no marauding gangs shooting and killing people.
Our grocery stores are FILLED with food. We worry a great deal about eating too much, and hardly at all about too little. You have to be pretty stupid and lazy to go hungry in this country.
Anyone born in this country has already won the lottery of life. Even if they are born poor, they can work hard and become wealthy. This is still true.
It is astonishing how the Democrats have been able to brainwash so many people into thinking they have it hard, when half the world lives in huts, surrounded by shit, at the mercy of the heat and cold, and is forced to drink bad water, and endure hunger and disease.
Whining is undignified in all cases, and entirely inappropriate in the face of all the misery in this world.
