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.

Boomers were the HVAC techs, diesel mechanics, electricians, etc. They were the Gordon Gekkos that powered the late 70s and 80s. Some were the young energy during the financial boom then. Boomers grew up without socials and their daily crack wasn’t likes on a selfie. I would be very late Gen X so not a boomer but near the last of the hands on generation. Where are the young boomers now? Wonder why this immigration problem is necessary? It’s the elephant in the room. MAGA cheers “deport them all”, that’s neat. With no young people entering the hands on fields and opting for useless degrees or satisfied with the Starbucks job living with mom and dad, while bitching the boomers f!@$ed it all up, no one is left to do the work. By no means do I support or condone unchecked rampant immigration but let’s face reality, if your home AC units stops one day, it likely won’t be Billy the happy go lucky kid. The young today do not understand starting at the bottom and putting time in, they instead want top pay and respect because they simply exists. Boomers and Gen X obviously not free from sin, if anything we are culpable in letting this happen, instead of holding our ground we let the following generations just do whatever and shake our heads.

As a boomer, I didn’t fall for the propaganda. I can’t explain why I didn’t. It was a slow process over the years that led me to doubt those who were in control. I believe the ideology of Marxism is behind the scenes and is planning the downfall of Western civilization. It seems that most people don’t see this and I am just another crazy person predicting our doom.

I’m not sure why some people are more compliant and unquestioning than others, but I don’t believe blind obedience belongs to one particular generation. All this fighting among generations, and among different races or religions, has been orchestrated by the powers that be. As you said, Rob, a house divided will fall. That makes it easier for Marxism to step in.

I forgot to include the “battle of the sexes” and transgenderism in playing a part in causing havoc in our society.
