[COPY] Who's to Blame?
Revisiting a post about "Boomers" and Division I wrote in 2021. Edited a bit, but still poignant. Written during the "covid" years, same tactics being used right now. Diversions to divide us.
November 20th 2021:
I have had several days of stewing about a comment I saw on a post some where. It’s been bugging the heck out of me. The blurb went something like, “boomers are the only ones who are complying with this stuff (masks and shots) and it’s their fault we are where we are”.
Wow. That is a pretty bold statement.
First, I am a “boomer”. I was born in 1963 which is the last year to “qualify” as being part of the “boomer” generation. I’ve been awake to the horrors of bloated government since I was around 14 years old. Have their been times of “compliance” in my life? Oh, most definitely. The tyrants have been able to trick me quite a few times over my lifetime, and I’m always pretty disappointed with myself upon discovering that they “got one over” on me.
That being said, I don’t think it’s fair to blame most people for the madness going on in the world. I know just as many boomers that aren’t going along with the insanity as I know that are going along right now. I also know a lot of the younger generation that are and are not. It’s kind of even across the board. In fact, if we use the “compliance diaper” (mask) as a metric, I see lots more younger people embracing something that depletes their oxygen intake, can cause mouth diseases and bacterial infections (just to name a few) at a much higher rate than us “boomers”. The younger people are even making “the mask” an article of clothing, thinking it’s cute to match with their clothes etc.
So who is to blame?
It’s all of us.
I hate to say it, but if “boomers” have dropped the ball anywhere it’s been trusting all of the institutions set up in government and, of course, trusting the mouthpieces of said government previously called “Mainstream” media. Trusting that schools were doing their jobs. Allowing materialism to become more important than family. Trusting, trusting, trusting. Not questioning. Being duped into thinking that if the right “R” or the right “D” was at the helm everything would be fine. Yes, we messed up in those regards, and I’m guilty of that sin a few times many years ago. Even though I knew what is happening, I kept my mouth shut, embracing oppressive things as they were slowly placed on our society like an electric blanket or the old boiling frog scenario. Don’t worry, be happy. Just ignore the bad stuff because in another 2 , 4, 6, or 8 years we’ll get a break from it. We’ve been wrong, and for that, on behalf of “boomers” everywhere… I apologize. We thought we could just lazily go along and the system would work.
Who is really to blame? Has anyone seen but a handful of these politicians be brave enough to say anything about… anything? Regarding this last 18 months, have you heard about the astonishing number of politicians who have Pfizer and J&J stock? Has anyone seen who our government is in bed with? Has anyone followed the money trail on all of the horror in our world right now?
I could ramble for hours and not make any sense, but I think my point is that we need to stop pointing fingers at each other. I dearly love the young people I know and I want the best, freest and most amazing future possible for them. I can’t blame them anymore than I can blame my Grandmother who died at age 102 and had a zeal for America and life that I can only wish to emulate. I can blame myself and other “boomers” some but, even then, with all of the propaganda, misinformation (lies), and busyness in the world, how can one possibly keep up with everything?
No, it’s time to start pointing fingers at these evil institutions. It’s time to start cleansing our nation politically. Not by getting the best “R” or the best “D”, but getting the best, and the right person. The right person who decides that their philosophy is one of Liberty and Justice for all. (Sorry for the Americana cliche’, but it’s important)
I’m not sure what the future may bring. Right now, I’m not feeling too warm and fuzzy. A world where a government can justify forcing people to take things inside of their bodies and a population that is starting to embrace things like holding people down to inject something into their body and even camps for the “dissidents” who don’t want to conform to the herd is scary as hell to me. A world where a person has to carry their papers everywhere to get a cup of coffee, buy groceries, or even work! A world where a government decides what the next “shot of the month” is, and by God you better take it or you are no longer safe to be in public. Think about it! Please. It makes me glad that my life is nearing it’s apex.
I don’t think it has to be this way. I know we laugh at the saying, “can’t we all just get along?”, but that’s really it. In a nutshell. Division is our greatest weakness. A house divided against itself cannot stand. It will fall if we don’t start saying no to the system that is corrupting our very nature. Corrupting that desire to come together to solve problems. A system that teaches people they have nothing to learn from each other. A system that uses propaganda and “approved” narratives to keep us from talking to one another. A system that teaches young people that if someone says something you don’t like they are hateful and you should desire to shut down their ability to speak. A system that tells us we must point our fingers at an entire generation of people and say, “that’s the enemy!” instead of pointing our fingers at the real enemy. The real enemy is any entity which would steal our joy, use media and other propaganda to divert our attention from what their other hand is doing, destroy our money, spend us into oblivion, bomb the hell out of anyone “just because”, tell us we are just a bunch of “kooks” because we believe a sexual predator who has (at last count) upwards of 1000 victims should be exposed for who they are, and whoever was in cahoots with them should be named. Use religion to try and convince us that killing children and starving them (regardless of what we think about those being killed) is okay just because.
Whatever or whomever that entity is telling us all of these things, they are enemy. That’s who we should be focused on. Not on each other, and certainly not on an entire generation who really believed the system was working.
“Boomers” are becoming rare my friends. We are dying off. And guess what? We are the last generation who still know what it’s like to live in a Constitutional, Representative Republic. The last generation that knows how to do all kinds of things and make all kinds of stuff without a machine or a computer. Young people, don’t squander your chance to learn from the “boomers” who are on your side. In the end, we may be your last hope.
Oooh, I'm the first to comment! Wah! Hi, Rob D. ^_^
Yeah, so, I'm a boomier boomer than you are! ha ha I was born tail-end of 60. But I think I'm more of a punk rocker, really.
Anyway, I am rather surprised by the way we're talking about blaming the boomers or the X's or the Y's or whatever else... It's the BLACK NOBILITY (using their term) that's to blame here. And they're to blame for MOST of the lousy stuff, and ALL the wars, as well. Dog only knows how many things they've lied, lied, lied about! Seems like damn near everything! How can it be the "FAULT" of anyone who has been led to believe that "this is as good as it gets"? That what we were led to believe about almost everything is actually total BS? Seems like nearly every day we find out yet another thing we've been told that turns out to be complete horse pucky.
Nooooo, I blame the Nasties that are so bored with their filthy rich, struggle-free, workless, worthless lives that they feel they should get rid of the rest of us.
I've noticed something about these people: They project all their self-loathing onto WE, the People who are most disgusted with them and their wish to torture and kill everyone, even children. Rape, murder, savagery, theft, destruction of beauty, destruction of innocent animals...
I could go on and on. If anyone fit the description of "Useless Eaters," it's these Oligarchs from HELL.
And what's funny is, we're trained to believe that we can eventually? carefully? magically? find the right politicians to make our "system" work. Well, it already WORKS, exactly the way it's meant to work, which is not on our behalf. I am strongly recommending a book by Larken Rose: "The Most Dangerous Superstition." He talks about why our current infatuation with government is ludicrous at best, and extremely punishing at worst. Okay, yeah, I'm a real anarchist! ^_^
Anyway, a lot of this comment is for others who read your page, Rob D. Cheers.
As people get more backed into corners, sometimes of their own making, they often look for someone, something to blame. And I think I am seeing it pick up in frequency as more and more people are finding themselves backed into corners.
It is frustrating, trying to lend a hand, lend an ear or lend a shoulder when the cornered animal/human lashes out at whatever comes near, or falls into view.
The boomer v millennial civil war will have no victors, only casualties, the biggest of which is trust.
