@socialscoregame @AndyM1928 @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 You couldn't find the topic of this conversation if your life depended on it lol.

@6MilDlrMantis @AndyM1928 @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 Offshoring gutted Boomers even b4 NAFTA. Trump, a Boomer, is the first major candidate to run on reshoring. His base was/is Boomer and GenX men. Millennial and Zoomer men have too many screen addled social issue crybabies. Fix your own and we win. Culture. Stop gaming and listen.

I’m seeing, yet again, this surge of hatred for the Boomer generation. I’m a late season Boomer, born in 1961; I’ve worked for nearly 50 years, have been in the same profession for 37 years, I’ve routinely worked 45-60 hours a week. I don’t get why we are so vilified.

@mattyglesias It's not that elaborate. If you want to demoralize a people you make their day-to-day existence ugly.

Highbrow center-right people are surprisingly open to elaborate conspiracy theories about architecture.

@christopherrufo You think the persecution of white men is a myth like trans genocide? Is that what you're saying?

This is the same kind of hysterical and apocalyptic rhetoric we've seen from the transgender activists, who, likewise, say they're at risk of an imminent "genocide" and that their very survival has become impossible in a deeply oppressive America. They're both wrong.

According to this oracle of the oppressed, young white men in America must choose between "compelled labour under illiterate black women in HR" and "living in a homeless shelter with black drug addicts who will either rape or murder you." As an empirical matter, I'm skeptical.

@socialscoregame @AndyM1928 @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 I can't believe you think that has anything to do with what we're talking about. We're talking about "free trade" and the other boomer era policies that doomed us to our current state.

@6MilDlrMantis @AndyM1928 @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 Politics are downstream from culture my friend. Millennials and Gen Z didn’t have to accept the self-centered delusions their parents fed them. They don’t have to follow psychopaths like Candace Owens, AOC, Nick Fuentes, or any of the blue haired TikTok screamers. Yet they do.

@socialscoregame @AndyM1928 @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 Do you really think we're talking about recent changes and not policies that were put into place decades ago?

@6MilDlrMantis @AndyM1928 @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 Clever

@nhmncndtn @cstoudt @Kingofbrunch @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 I hope you're right.

@6MilDlrMantis @cstoudt @Kingofbrunch @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 oh there's going to be a future

@socialscoregame @AndyM1928 @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 There's lost and then there's... whatever this is

@AndyM1928 @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 All the fucked up changes? Like outrage for clicks? Staying home and playyng videogames? Eating Doritoes like it’s a meal?

@AndyM1928 @lispyboy22 @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 I blame the previous generation too. They're just not around to yell at.

@lispyboy22 @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 Yeah, I hear you. Their general narcissism prevented them from seeing how those changes might be bad in the long run, but my point is, they didn't start the fire. The bulk of the blame should be laid at the feet of the arsonist, not primarily the bystanders who watched it burn.

@PatrickClowes @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 10 likes on an entirely incoherent post. It's nice to see boomers supporting each other.

@Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 The boomers were individually powerful and personally responsible for “that society” in which you find it impossible to “become an adult.” You are a perpetual child-victim, individually powerless and personally responsible for nothing. I get it.

@GeorgeE34743660 @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 Maybe you should'nt have let your enemies interact with your children at all. Did that ever cross your mind?

@Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 Our flaw was we did not recognize that a bunch of libtard hippies had started taking over academia. Child psychology was one of the first places. That is the root of it. We coddled you just like they said. oops.

@cstoudt @nhmncndtn @Kingofbrunch @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 What are you laughing at? You did this. It's your fault that there's no future.

@nhmncndtn @Kingofbrunch @Devon_Eriksen_ @ChrisMartin1961 Hehe... IF there is a world in 30-40 years even.

@ChrisMartin1961 @bienhaseyo Why didn't you preserve the conditions that made your life possible for your descendants?

@bienhaseyo I made 14,500 in 1984; my home cost 33,500 and was 980 square feet. I raised three kids, and it’s bullshit to think I EVER had it easy. I worked two, sometimes three jobs, 60-66 hours a week. I delivered newspapers to post offices at 3am, and got up and went to work by 8.

@ChrisMartin1961 You still somehow fail to realize you didn't steward society. You were supposed to plant trees you would never sit under. Instead you reverse mortgaged the whole forest then mocked your descendants when they complained about the loss. The Trial of the Boomer has only just begun.

@indietronicaone @DissidentSoaps @GregTSargent Everyone on earth has a right to systems they could never create because...why?

@DissidentSoaps @GregTSargent Access to opportunity is what matters. It’s been that way and it will stay that way because America is about pursuit of success despite the circumstances that hold you back. Shutting the door on kids who just want to learn is deepfully cold hearted and shameful

Awful: Stephen Miller is privately floating the idea of restricting funding for the public education of undocumented kids. This has long been a right-wing dream: They want to get SCOTUS to reverse Plyler v Doe and further chip away at 14th Amendment. New: newrepublic.com/article/208114…

@indietronicaone @DissidentSoaps @GregTSargent The only way they can have opportunities is by stealing my money, apparently.

@TagnBags @Womp_Tomp Seems obvious that female domination would correlate negatively with bookkeeping.

@Womp_Tomp Right. We obviously don’t know all of human history. But we have seen several empires fall because of them. I’m sure there are many unknown examples throughout history that were lost in the fires of destruction they left behind.

the increasingly obvious reality is that every other society in human history was correct about women and we were wrong

@AbsyntheDeath @uubzu Do you think like this whenever anyone proposes a general rule? We can manage exceptions. No reason to assume you're going to be shot out of a cannon.

@uubzu What about women who are alone? Widows, conservative. Put us out on the streets? Prison? Kill us?

The unwillingness or inability of most women and some men to understand that saving the world requires disempowering women does not relieve us of the responsibility to do it If you would rather be murdered than hated, then murdered you will be

You didnt have to the country was majority White People ignore the majority of the demographic warfare agaisnt us was done from say 2000 - 2026 with 2020to 2026 being batshit insane levels of migration from complete shitholes while our govt stole trillions of dollars and just gave it away to brown people while we were working paying taxes building and struggling to carve something out to start fams the american dream was literally stolen from genz/millennials and given to foreigners people should die for the crime (quite literally treason). our nation was looted and plundered and then the currency inflated to worthlessness almost overnight

@DiggingInTheDi1 @_17_one_seven_ @j_fishback Are you unfamiliar with Islam? They're not gonna leave us alone. The path to the fewest Americans dying goes through facing them now while they're at their weakest, instead of waiting for them to pick the time and the place.

@_17_one_seven_ @j_fishback Oil prices climbing to $200 a barrel at the cost of hundreds/thousands of White lives is not worth whatever we would gain But there isn't even anything to gain in this instance

Would you rather spend $200 billion to bomb Iran or…? A: give every teacher in America a $62,500 bonus B: provide downpayment assistance for 20 million young families C: build 1,300 rural hospitals

@SeeingCicada @wil_da_beast630 Because divorced women in their forties don't have the same dating options as young women. She "chooses" not to get remarried because none of the men she wants to marry now want to marry her.

@wil_da_beast630 I was referring more so to the general ambivalence about the decline shared by most women – not just radicals. And why is it that divorced women, more often than divorced men, choose to not remarry? These are not just misled radicals but people with experience.

The language around this can sometimes get genuinely sexist and negative - but the idea that monogamous lifelong love relationships, where sex happens 1-2x weekly, women generally manage the money, and guys give up half of their/the assets if they cheat are a MALE fantasy designed to trap women is facially insane.
