— An age of agency awaits us – IAN ROWE
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/faith-freedom-self-reliance/an-age-of-agency-awaits-us
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two popular visions have risen to answer this question. I call them “blame the system” and “blame the victim” narratives. The “blame the system” mindset argues that impediments to young people achieving the American dream are primarily due to systems of oppression, which create institutional and systemic barriers around race, class, and gender. In this worldview, any undesirable outcome in a person’s life has nothing to do with their individual situation but rather is a result of oppressive forces rigged against them. . .While “blame the system” places the entire focus on society’s oppressive forces, the “blame the victim” mindset suggests that roadblocks to realizing the American dream are due to an individual’s bad choices or lack of effort. America isn’t the problem if you are unsuccessful; you are the problem. “Blame the victim” accuses young people of being the architects of their own shortcomings, and the exhortations that accompany this mindset are all too familiar: “Have fewer babies outside marriage, and you won’t live in poverty.” “Commit fewer crimes, and you won’t be abused by the criminal justice system.” They are familiar because they are true at a surface level. They encourage behavior we want to propagate and discourage behavior we want to lessen.)

(COMMENT: What do you say to Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for opposition research? They reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. They destroy individuals (including me), organizations (including TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Center Right Coalition), companies, and governments that they cannot manipulate/dominate, that refuse to glorify and praise them, that refuse to pander to them, that refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, that refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or that refuse to give them money. I should write a book about the aforesaid plants and RINOs.)
