I don't understand

I don't understand.
nothing is made to last-
in a world that prides itself on being sustainable.

I don't understand.
when something is thrown out-
[ even if it's not broke]
because it is last year's model.

I don't understand.
people saying they are against hate-
when they shout a violent  chant.

I don't understand.
those that say they`re for free speech-
but shut those down that speak against their narrative.

I don't understand.
why the entitled think they deserve something,
when they have not earnt it.

I don't understand.
the theory of hours of working less-
produces more.

I don't understand.
when near enough is good enough-
what is wrong with striving for excellence?

I don't understand.
when it's said "oh, I'm offended by that comment"-
don`t they remember the old saying-sticks and stones?

I don't understand.
 when you make a mistake-
and all you just get is a condescending reply.

I don't understand.
you show inexperience -
you get laughed at and no helping hand.

I don't understand.
when you need to be educated and want to gain knowledge-
but those that can give it, sit high on a pedestal and judge!
