The Youth Want To Work- They Just Cant

 The Youth Want To Work- They Just Cant 

As of the beginning of 2024 outcry has emerged among taxpayers

over the excessive use of the benefit system by young people. The

outcry has been as expected from the baby boomers which is taking the easy route

of blaming young people for being lazy and lacking discipline without actually 

analysing the deeper problems affecting young people. We can see this reflected 

by politicians who threaten to cart children off to there death in foreign wars. 

who spout platitudes about getting young people back into work but never actually 

do anything to allow that to occur for example freeing up the market and regulations

which stop young people from getting into work and pursuing entrepreneurship. The 

truth is young people do want to work in fact they want nothing more than to work. they

want nothing more than to contribute to society in a strong and meaningful way on there

own terms in a truly free and self sufficient way. But here is where the problem lies

due to government money printing and over-regulation of the free market opportunities 

for young people dwindle leaving them only to ever hope for working to produce 

someone else's company and someone else's dream. To be stuck in a 9-5 for the rest of 

there life working to build someone else's dream and leaving there entire 65 years of 

working with nothing to show for it but a pittance of a state pension which barely 

covers the basics. In truth what young people want is economic freedom something which

to this day has been nearly obliterated by the state. Young people live in a perpetual 

prison of bureaucracy either under the foot of the state at the hands of the benefits 

and welfare system or under the prying eyes of a corporate boss who sees them as 

nothing more than a dollar sign. Working a 9-5 has never been the dream of any one person

instead when people are children and thinking about there life they dream of aspirational goals

to be a an astronaut for instance or to start there own business. But throughout the 19th 

century working a 9-5 has been seen as a necessary evil and one which was encouraged in 

school and by parents this makes sense given that throughout the 1970s one could easily own

a house and a car by the time they where 20 years old. However this utopian dream of the 

white picket fence and suburban life has quickly died upon the alter of government money 

printing and economic mismanagement. Now life for young people true life that is in a sense

true freedom is completely dead and no amount of back breaking work or college degrees is 

ever going to free young people from there economic prison. The economy as it stands means

that the average amount of time someone has to work for in order to ever own a house is 

exactly 25 years. We spend one third of our lives asleep which is already a dramatic 

amount of time wasted adjusting that to the average lifespan which is about 60-80 years and then

add on top of that the 65 years you will work in a job which you most likely hate. The problem

is young people are fully awake to this depressing reality as they have grown up in an environment

where they are exposed to the damaging effects of living such a life. Many young people my age 

would of heard there parents say that they wish they could of done more with there lives. Or

would of seen arguments break out over finances or in the worse case scenario could have been 

exposed to marriage break down and not only that they would have seen how despite working all the years

since that young person was bourn those parents still have nothing to show for it and worry about 

money day in and day out and the little money they do make almost half of it is confiscated 

by the hands of the state in the form of income or council tax. The real tragedy is the fact many of these 

parents dreamed of giving there children the lives they never had and in most cases they where unable too.

that's not to mention the dreams and aspirations they have had to give up in order to take care of there children.

So after being exposed to all of this why on earth would any person belonging to the younger generation

ever want to work a conventional job. The post war dream is dead and it died a long time ago and they can see this.

This leaves two routes most young people go down the first is one of self destruction and welfare slavery

remaining for the entire lives subservient to the state and stuck in the welfare system destroying there mind 

and bodies with drugs and social media. This is however not directly the fault of these young people 

they have been conditioned by the state and the education to live this way. They have been told from day one 

that they can be children for there entire lives and never have to grow up and that the system will always 

provide for there every need. Schools constantly condition them to believe that all that matters is a piece 

of paper and that all life is about is pursuing short term pleasure we can see this demonstrated in 

such empty platitudes as being told constantly that they are perfect the way they are and that if 

society rejects them for who they are it is societies fault not there's. They are never warned that 

at some point the ever so pervasive and nannying school and college system will eventually drop them and that

they will have to choose there own path for themselves and grow up. The school system sells them lies and 

then chucks them off of a metaphorical cliff edge and right into the deep end. And a young person who has 

never been taught to think or do for himself suddenly being in a position where he has too leads to what you would 

expect which is a desperate search for meaning in any form be that drugs, alcohol or pornography usually accompanied

by promiscuous meaningless sex as the idea of forming a true relationship has also been beaten out of them in school

as traditional relationships are seen as antiquated or in some way "oppressive". However some young people 

take the much more healthy route and use the extraordinary access we have to modern day tools to separate themselves 

from the state and forge there own path through the use of social media or other money making schemes such as 

crypto-currency and some even go on to start successful businesses where they are there own boss a theme which

in the coming years will become more and more common that is of course if the state doesn't totally legislate against it

which unfortunately is a distinct possibility. In short young people do want to work but they want there work to be

meaningful and for themselves and be able to show themselves and others the fruits and accomplishments of said labour 

not just working as a worker bee to build someone else's dream.
