30. They all missed the boat of life

Now they're forever on the dock dismissing the vanishing boat like "I didn't want to be onboard anyway".
A simplified explanation into a demographical disaster, but they're clueless as to a raison d'etre for their idiocy - and it is idiocy.
They don't understand government, religion, history, or freedom to name a few of their favorite things. So they make shit up and call it "libertarianism" because they saw that word somewhere and thought it sounded smart.
Like a school of diseased salmon, they are committed to forever be swimming against the tides of history and progress, oblivious to the damage they cause to our environment, our government, our countries, and our world.
Signs of the end times, they are fond of saying. End times which they will create.
