The Children Are Our Future
The themes fit so well that it took me a moment to realize there is a Photoshop involved.
Makes sense to me.
PS That is a very scary “photo” you posted. Well done.
Flashback: Hitler also used children to promote gun control
Reminds me of something I saw recently- “Children are our future. Not yours-better ones.”
My only comment is that he’d also make a good Hitler youth.
Good plan.
I want to find a Home Owner’s Association like @ejhill‘s ….
Once you install the land mines, what are they going to do? *BOOM* “Oh, they tried complaining again.”
Come get some.
Is that a random person with the raised fist? Or some celebrity that I’m supposed to know about?
The other main “leader” of these “students” gave her speech wearing a Cuban flag on her jacket. If you listen and watch closely you can find the truth.

Did you see the picture (might have come from a video) of her tearing the constitution in half? Sounds like common sense stuff to me.
Yes … you can be a useful idiot like me.
This fits so perfectly, that I would like to get it into the audio system at one of their rallies, and see how many of them sing along.
That, too was a manipulation. She actually tore a shooting target.
As someone who manipulates images for a living you know that the integrity of the process means a lot to me. I don’t believe in passing off an image I’ve worked on as real.
So be aware of a new program that’s floating around called “Deepfake.” It is scary good. And, of course, it has evolved from the world of porn. It is an AI program that has you feed as many images of a subject from as many angles as they have been photographed into it and it will map their image onto another person’s body.
“Emma Watson” does a striptease in a Deepfake video (BBC News)
This is a screen shot that the BBC posted of a Deepfake video “featuring” Harry Potter star, Emma Watson. Depending on the power of the PC the results are almost seamless. And I suspect that it will be used soon for political purposes instead of just prurient amusement.
His name is David Hogg. He is a student at the Broward County, Florida school that had a shooting while the police cowered outside. He is promoting gun control/bans to “address” the problem.
He’s actually a very accomplished recruiter for the NRA. Each time he speaks membership goes up.
Mattel is missing marketing possibilities.
Instead of endlessly recreating Barbie, they should come out with a series of New Ken dolls.
“Pajama” Boy Ken, is introduced first. Mild, sensitive, thoughtful understanding young man who has a plan.
But Hogg ….this would be “Activist” Ken, who energies a new group of dissenters united by students tired of being shot up in their schools who’ve determined the solutions after two semesters from their history course with Professor Whatizname.
Design note – The arms can be straightened and a strong fist can be presented on a rotating axis.
Next, they roll out “Antifa Ken”, with masks and defensive garb extra. (Aftermarket profits are generally higher).
My submission to Mattel of this proposal is free. It’s for a good cultural cause.
Toys and action figures are very important steps in development of children’s minds.
They need to act this out in a more virtual environment than the real world. Because the real world is dangerous as you have recently discovered.

These kids can’t have it both ways. Being overprotected in modern culture is tantamount to parents’ ability to protect them from reality.
One day, despite their study break in the cafeteria, where the worst that could happen is you’d be accused of bullying, or someone would micro-agress, reality presents itself. Macro- agression.
What I find interesting in this discussion is that the “youth” are telling the world that guns are the “problem”.
Any yet invariably, more often than not, it is these same “youths” that are firing such weapons in mass murder. And it’s the guns that are problem?!
There’s a difference?
Kids nowadays have severe emotional stability issues. I think it’s because they don’t play outside in the yard enough. When I was their age I played tackle football with the neighborhood kids to take out my aggression. They should try it.
You mean, as in molon labe?
Yes, that and Bruce Campbell:
Lindsey Naegle
Yoots are the problem. Let’s make school no yoot zones.
I get the sense this David Hogg is an out of control ego which has attached itself to this “gun control cause”.
Hogg’s out sized and growing ego is being germinated and fed by adult progressives/MSM who want to push gun control legislation
Hogg’s “cause” could have been any progressive cause it just happened that he was a Parkland survivor and wham now we have this creepy kid plastered all over the MSM. Little did the adult progressives/MSM realize but they just promoted the most obnoxious unlikable kid in world as the gun control legislation poster boy.
Just another case of progressives thinking this a great idea right up until they realize it was the worst idea in the world.
