But don't you understand?
There was a way. There was always a way.
We had it within our grasp, because we had already grasped it. The childhoods that you and your daughter had were available because you and your daughter had them.
All that the Boomers, and their parents, the eldest of the post WW2 generations, had to do was...
Nothing.
Just live in the paradise that their ancestors won for them, and make the minimum, the bare minimum, of effort that would have been required to actually sustain it.
That's all.
Just keep things the way they were.
But they couldn't handle that. Their fathers and grandfathers, the heroes that won WW2, made them jealous.
They wanted to be heroes, too.
So, for the sake of their own egos, they had to become Social Justice Warriors. They had to be Champions of Progress and Change.
They had to see the world they inherited as a pile of problems to be solved, rather than a pile of solutions to be cherished and preserved.
So they could feel like they were doing something important.
Almost all of the elder generations, even the ones who call themselves conservative and vote republican, are, in truth, socialist liberal progressives. Because they looked at paradise, and wanted to fix it instead of protect it.
That's why the "republican" option was Reagan, the gun-ban guy, the social-welfare guy, the kiss-up-to-the-commies guy, the amnesty-for-foreign-invaders guy.
Reagan, the Hollywood liberal, the Obama of the 80s, instead of Joe McCarthy, Barry Goldwater, and Pat Buchanan.
Teens can't have a summer job because elders had to be Third-World Compassion Heroes, and give us Hart-Cellar and eleventy-billion barbarians who don't care about civilization, but will work cheap.
Teens can't have a car because elders had to be Climate Emergency Heroes and give us emissions control laws and Cash for Clunkers.
Teens can't have safe schools to learn at, because elders had to Anti-Racist Heroes and made it illegal to exclude violent thugs from our school districts. Just because those thugs generally come color-coded for your convenience.
Teens can't have safe public spaces to hang out in, because elders had to be Compassion for the Underclass Heroes, and release violent savages into society, again and again, with a lecture and a slap on the wrist.
Teens can't have a healthy economy to inherit, because elders had to be Equality Heroes and make sure every corporation that actually did anything useful was punished for not being Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive enough to suit the ideal universe that exists only in their heads.
Teens can't have dates, because elders had to be Anti-Sexist Heroes, and let feminists spend forty years diminishing the social value of men, until you had to a be a billionaire rockstar adventurer to avoid being an unsexy loser by default.
Teens can't even be fit, healthy, and pretty, because elders had to be Sex Equality Heroes, and move women into the corporate workforce in droves, leaving children to be fed by corporate industrial slop factories.
Teens can't have sane, well-adjusted, unspoiled girlfriends and wives, because elders had to be Champions of Sexual Freedom, and normalize unlimited female promiscuity, all in exchange for the largely unfulfilled promise of a little unshaven free-love yeti snatch.
And worst, of all, the crowning irony, the final dead hamster in the water pipe, is that all of this would be fixable, perhaps in three to five election cycles...
Except.
Except the elders don't understand that any of this of this is happening.
They haven't had a child in the household since 1997. They haven't looked for an entry-level job since 1973. They haven't gone on a date since 1981. They haven't been laid off... ever.
They are safe with their paid-off houses and their investments and their pensions from 45 years at the same company and their social security and their medical plans.
It's affecting the youngest generations first and worst. While the elders sit on their cruise ship, surveying the short with binoculars, wondering who all these ragged distressed looking people standing on the shore are.
And why they are holding signs that say "HELP", "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT", and "YOU STOLE THE LIFE I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE".
Then they shrug, conclude that these must be the whiny losers, and everyone further inland is probably just fine, and everything is fine, because they fixed everything and they are all heroes, and the Summer of Love was the end of the Problematic Era of History and the beginning of the Great Enlightenment.
And when I am 74 years old, and the elders are all safely tucked into their cemetery plots, I will be torn apart by an angry mob for having white hair, and therefore being "one of them".
And the mob will not care that I didn't get to cast a vote until 1992, for the Man Who Predicted All Of This.
He called it the "giant sucking sound".
Which is apt because it's why everything sucks now.
The Flock CEO is calling people that don’t want 24x7 government surveillance terrorists.
I have an idea - let’s put a public live feed camera outside his house. Let’s make sure we have drones and camera systems following him around. Or better - why doesn’t he make his cell phone data available to the public for 24x7 monitoring of his location and who is with him in a car?
I’m guessing this scrawny 12 year old nerd lecturing us on not wanting to be surveilled won’t share his data publicly so why should he be able to force us to?
Pure uncut Boomer slop, not being able to conceptualize the 2nd and 3rd order consequences of their own failures.
Why would a 16 year old get a learner's permit for a car he reasonably can't buy? Obama's Cash For Clunkers program killed 677,000 cars that would otherwise be affordable on the used car market. The car plants all got offshored.
The same regulatory bureaucrats made it so that a new or used car is prohibitively expensive because it's now just a computer system with wheels. It uses your house's Wifi to send your driving info to your insurance company to rat you out for speeding or braking too quickly. That's if the Flock cameras don't report you first.
Where are they going to exactly? To the mall inhabited by roving gangs of masked shoplifters or a sea of unaccompanied East African "teens" or fent zombies staggering through the streets? Most of the malls have closed anyway. Retail shopping is online. Are they going to see the next Marvel movie that has their favorite character replaced with a quippy lesbian black woman?
What money are they going to spend? The money they can't earn because all of the minimum-wage starter jobs now have to pay $18/hr and include full benefits so employers just eliminated the positions or automated them away? The ones that are still available have DEI requirements that make it illegal for them to hire a regular white kid, so instead it's going to a 70 IQ hood mother of 7 who is making "part time cashier at McDonalds" her lifetime career so she can still collect welfare.
Moms are no longer "taking kids out of school to take their driving tests" because the ones that are married and normal have to work some humiliating pantsuit career alongside their husbands just to afford a house (since they're competing with 50 million migrants and BlackRock for housing). Those jobs are also being stolen by Indians or eliminated with automation.
Then again, most moms aren't even married because no-fault divorce incentivized them to leave the first time they have a fight or get attention from someone else or "just don't feel the spark anymore".
That's of the women who are even having kids and not brainwashed into rabid pro-abortion anti-natalism and using progressive politics as a proxy for their normal maternal instincts.
Then the most ludicrous statement of all: "privacy on a date"? What do you think it is, 1962? Privacy on a date is how you end up with false SA accusation and a ruined life before 20. A date in 2026 requires witnesses. Sworn affidavits of intent and consent, signed and notarized by her friends. Even then, if she remembers your date unfavorably a year from now you'll have to prove your innocence.
If you can even manage to get someone out of the DM's and into the real world then the girl is going to insist on the most public venue possible anyway because her brain is filled with memes demonizing men as more dangerous than bears.
The micro-managerialism and Civil-Rights era progressive slop that boomers invented and enforced around every aspect of our lives are why the kids now don't leave their rooms. Because their grandparents created the panopticon.
"Why don't kids these days want to experience the manmade horrors we've created to torture and dehumanize them?"
I don't know man, you tell me.
Since Flock loves to track our locations, it only seems fair that we know theirs.
Flock Safety's new GA plant is located at 1885 Mitchell Rd, Smyrna, GA 30082
Flock went to great lengths to keep that address hidden.
That probably means it should be public info.
US Gov is deliberately classifying Indian criminals with names like Patel, Sharma & Singh as 'White' to hide immigrant crime rates and make actual Whites look worse
When an edgelord says "I hate niggers," what he means is that he's still going to help the little old black lady in a wheelchair get her groceries from a high shelf without her needing to ask first.
When a Leftist says "We just want free healthcare," what they mean is that they'll publicly cheer if you get murdered in front of your children for mildly disagreeing with Leftism on Facebook.
So, the day after Vance said they're looking into H-1B abuse, the Indian Xbox nepo hire that just cut 3200 Americans from their jobs just got a new gig as a Federal Reserve advisor on "productivity and jobs".
And they wonder why we don't trust the administration.
Ellen Page's breakout movie, 'Juno' was about a teenage girl who saw a girl praying at an abortion clinic because she had an abortion and prayed for her dead child, so Juno decided to not have an abortion. The Press took this as a 'pro-life movie' and went insane and ruined her life until she became a troon and had her ovaries ripped out. This is what Hollywood Jews want. It was a humiliation ritual.
Activist: "You keep them pregnant all year round. It's forced."
Farmer: "Nine months carrying, same as you. Then a couple of months clear before she's back in calf. There's a gap built in."
Activist: "But you make her. Every year."
Farmer: "Put a bull in that field and clear off for ten years. Every cow hands you a calf a year, same as the wild herds nobody farms. Annual isn't something I invented."
Activist: "It's the insemination that's forced."
Farmer: "A cow only stands to be mounted when she's in heat. That's what 'standing heat' means. The other twenty days of her cycle you'll not move her an inch. It's timed to the one window she's saying yes."
Activist: "She's got no say."
Farmer: "She's got the say her body's always had. A cow you never breed doesn't stand about relieved. She comes into heat every three weeks, roaring at the gate, hunting the exact thing you've come to save her from."
Activist: "..."
Farmer: "You've come to rescue her from being a cow. She's over there being one anyway. Ask her which of you understands it better."
A statement that can only be made by the historically ignorant.
Before Christians took over the Roman Empire, it was normal for Roman parents to dispose of unwanted babies (of which were mostly daughters) by simply dumping them on trash heaps. This was a practice known as 'exposure'. If babies didn't outright die, they'd be picked up by brothel owners or slavers to be turned into products for profit.
Many Christians adopted these unwanted children as their own. Because many of these children were girls, and because the conditions they grew up in weren't very fortunate, early Christianity developed a reputation for being a religion for women and poor people.
It wouldn't be until Christian Emperors like Constantine that the practice of exposure was finally equated to murder.
So yes, Christians did invent most of what we know as "Basic Human Morality" as we know it today. You stand on the shoulders of giants but are too arrogant to look down and see where your feet are planted.
One of my favorite ways of pointing this out is finding shitty inner city schools with a grade average of F and then comparing them to rural schools with a grade average of A-.
The rural school looks beautiful and brand new, and then you look it up and it has 1/6th the per-student allocation of budget that the inner city school has.
Turns out, shoveling resources into the gaping maw of the poor unwashed and chaotic crime-ridden masses actually doesn’t magically transmogrify them into functional people, it just wastes money.
Admin needs to designate a task force to clean up our FBI crime database tying names back to their country of origin as they did with the Rape Gang Inquiry in the UK.
Reminder that she had zero gaming experience when she was promoted to run Xbox, and she has zero finance or economic experience now that she's promoted to advise the Federal Reserve. Her one function is to purge white Americans and replace them with Indian cheap foreign labor.
The European Parliament voted AGAINST Chat Control. 314 to 276.
And it passed anyway.
Let me tell you how: they needed 361 votes to say no. On the last day before vacation. Every empty seat counted as a yes.
They lost the vote. They won the law.
That’s not democracy. That’s a trick. #ChatControl
