I feel Gen X was sort of a bifurcated generation. Like one stereotype of Gen X is the “John Hughes movie” Gen X who probably thought Reagan was the best and always dressed in a preppy manner. Then there’s the set who idolized Hetfield, Staley and all the others who were sort of the “goth types”. I feel that’s equally a part of Gen X.

A couple of perhaps tangential points:A. The decades have stopped. While there was a big change in technology, culture, fashion, behaviors, entertainment, etc from the 1920s-1990s, with each decade having their own unique set of culture/fashion/tech/social attitude changes [With the Sixties perhaps being divided into thirds] there is an “Endless Now” that has descended from say 1999 onwards. [Maybe Prince was right]. Look at a car, pair of jeans, TV show, etc. from say 2000 to now, and other than phone tech and a few minor hairstyle changes there have not been many major changes [save one very big one*].B. HBD applies to White people too. “Oliver Anthony” the singer of “Rich Men North of Richmond” might as well have been a character out of David Hackett Fischer’s “Albion’s Seed.” He encapsulates the entire Redneck Nation ethos: (1) Leave him alone, don’t micromanage him, (2) wants his own land where he answers to no one but himself, (3) Wants a workingman’s share — honest pay for honest work (4) Struggles with alcohol, drugs, (5) Hates/loathes those who don’t work (since he works plenty) either big shots or fatties on welfare loading up on fudge oreos. (6) Willing to live in a $750 camper shell with a tarp over the roof just to live by himself.All the social media, infotainment, sportsball is not going to dent those desires because they are genetically based, and these guys (love the outdoors, like to hunt/fish, etc) are always going to be what they are; and IMHO their ranks will grow because:*C. Since 2012 the wokeness, anti-White male stuff has just accelerated every year, to the point where there are basically NO White male heroes left at all any more, by design. As Hollywood descends into POC/Alphabet people/Girl Boss. These sorts of stories (Beowulf, King Arthur, Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes, James Bond) act as the social glue generating sacrifice and cooperation where otherwise there will be none. What legitimacy does the Regime have with heroes being nothing but strong, empowered Girl Bosses who don’t need a man, or strong empowered POC Alphabet people? [The WGA has demanded quotas to have basically no Straight White male writers/characters and various DEI groups as writers based on floors set by the industry. One can imagine that will be reality in any settlement.] Into this gap, something will move. For now its been grifters and charlatans, at some point genuine men of talent forbidden from Government, Media, and Corporate life because of the color of their skin and sexual orientation (the “wrong” one).

Z Man’s main complaint about generational infighting is that it is always used to divide white people and only white people. I interpret this infighting as a sign of our lower level of tribalism.To what extent is generation infighting among whites encouraged by the media? I’m not sure. For example, were the “OK Boomer” tee shirts an organic phenomenon or part of an intentional plan to isolate and atomize whites?Even if the media was not encouraging it, it still would happen somewhat due to our unique interest in the truth, even when the truth is unpleasant. (I’m not saying that the criticisms of the Boomers are correct, only that at least some of it comes from honest attempts to explain our sorry state.)

Always great observations. Wildly talented man.I’m 68, a boomer. Began to understand the outrageous lies I’ve been indoctrinated with over my entire life, beginning some 20 years ago. Americans live in a horrible, continuous web of lies. As Z has previously described it, the country is a pirate cove.The future is not good in America. But as has been stated by many, the future is not “mad max”. Rather, it is a slow descent into totally incompetent systems, where nothing quite works anymore. Over the years, no one will remember what normal was. Dysfunction will be normal.It will be against the law (similar to holocaust discussions) to discuss the past.

Millennial/Zoomer Reader nearly wrote what I wanted to write.While it is true that generational conflict means hating your ancestors which can easily loop into self-hatred, and while it is also true that generational conflict is a tool the usual suspects are using against white people, limiting your perspective to those points misses the bigger picture.Dissidents may be defined as those in opposition to the system, but that system was generated as an extension of a specific set of people who now use their power to protect it. FedGov was built by the victors of the Civil War who put up the framework for this new system around the time of the World Wars and then codified the spirit of it during the Civil Rights era. Much of what came after can be seen as defensive or fortification actions. Greatest and now the Silent Generations wholly own the system at this point. It is an extension of their ruling class.You can say that blaming the system on the Boomers is a useful bit of misdirection per the usual suspect, and that is again true, but that is not the real reason why younger generations are hating on the Boomers. The heart of the generational conflict is that the Boomers have been remarkably passive and uninterested in the sins committed against their children. College debt is the favorite example, followed by public education at large, the great replacement, dissolution of the family, atomization of white society, etc. The list is quite long.Boomers are the ones who are suppose to be addressing these issues. Of all the generations, they now have the bulk of all social and economic capital. It is their war to fight, and they are not fighting it. It will be poetic justice for GenX to inherit the Boomer title from the young since I do not see them fighting against the sins committed against their children all that much more than the Boomers did. Speaking to the generation as a whole, recognition of these sins is a positive step, but not enough to absolve you of the Boomer marker.The young have been subjected to a system that has destroyed their families, their communities, and their very identity; a system built by the victors of the Civil War, defended and solidified by the Greatest and Silent, and is generally approved of or ignored by the Boomers. A century worth of problems are crashing in on the young, and their champions are half-hearted slaves to the system at best. More often completely absent and uninterested. More often in denial of the blatant and obvious because it did not happen to them, merely their children.So when you tell a young person that generational conflict is a form of hatred for your ancestors, the answer from some will be “Yes”. It is the correct answer too.

What are they using as generational markers now? A generation used to be around 20 years (18 years and 9 months, actually). Now they are saying Millenials started with the mini baby boom in 1980. I don’t think there were a bunch of teenage Gen X having babies then. It was late Boomers. Should this constitute a new generation?Certain cultural shifts have definitely affected how certain cohorts turned out. I’ll grant that anyone who grew up with the Internet is different from someone who was in their late 20’s when it appeared. But “Generation Alpha” seems like a construct. They’re late Zoomers. You don’t get your own generation because you don’t like the older kids’ memes or whatever.

Great show, I definitely feel a bit better about being a mid/late boomer – clothes and all – even though the really gay fashions were not my style…

A little late to the party and I haven’t posted in a while because I’ve been so busy. Wife and I are on our way back to Texas after a week long vacation in the outer banks, NC. We flew to Norfolk, VA. What an interesting experience. Every single employee at the airport aside from the pilots and a few airline clerks is a knee-grow. Absolutely amazing.In the OBX, there were nearly zero of them. It was all white, affluent white people. The few blacks I saw were restaurant workers. The neighborhoods are all really nice and people can leave their doors open. My wife and I literally forgot about what was happening to our former country for a short bit. It reminded us what kind of place we could have with an all White country. It all came crashing down when we went to the airport to come back home. Lots of ferals. Every black woman had a baby and was grossly obese. Contrary to how some, including Z, I hate them. I don’t merely tolerate them, I despise them and can’t stand them. In the airport they’re all talking on their phones on speaker phone, no mind disturbing people. The dudes all have super expensive headphones and 300.00 Nike sneakers. Their pants are hanging below their ass. I’m fully convinced they were God’s accident. They were created from the leftover, defective shit after making decent people was completed.In the early part of the podcast (around 13 minutes), I nearly spit my water out in front of everyone here at the airport.“…what are the odds of this happening? I mean he’s not going to be palling around with him unless they’re in jail together. You’d be better off making ads with unicorns and Bigfoot.”God bless you, Z.

“At one point, it seemed ‘everyone’s’ parents in our subdivision got divorced with all the resulting BS, ‘with my dad this weekend’ and the rest.” I definitely remember this shit starting around 1972 where I grew up. Thank god my parents were older (father mid WW2, mother first of the Silents) because their marriage was rock solid and so was those of all their friends. It was kind of weird. Most of the people in my classes who had older siblings generally escaped the divorce revolution. Nearly everyone where the first-born was my age did not.

Coming off my ‘victory’ during Zman’s last post — 85 Upvotes, 0 Down — I am sure this one will not fare nearly as well. Posting it late, and due to its content makes that a certainty.My parents, Silents, were married in the late 1950’s, and during the divorce wave of the 1970’s-early 80’s, caught that wave. At one point, it seemed ‘everyone’s’ parents in our subdivision got divorced with all the resulting BS, ‘with my dad this weekend’ and the rest.That makes my cohort ‘late Boomer’ or early Gen X, take your pick. It really does not matter much, only the effects. As a kid in grade school I swore to myself I would NEVER put my own through what my parents put us through. And approaching 90, they really have not changed all that much – self-absorbed. When I was growing up, the only metric of “success” was the big house. Like they had.Only problem was …. their 5,000 sf center hall colonial, in a top suburb of the major shitlib city of the USA … cost $85 grand. Brand new. On 6 acres. Even with high interest rates, blah-blah, the same house recently sold for $1.85 million.That brings us to THEIR progeny, the Boomers. It is more accurate to combine late Silents (did not serve in WW2) with early Boomers, as they are really the same cohort, since ‘late Boomers’ born in 1964 had no say in the country, and what took place in years 1965 (you all know), 1968 (Summer of Love), and nearby. So here I will refer to them as the “Soomers”.That is not to exonerate my peers, born in the late Boomer years. By no means, they embraced all the usual cultural BS. Two new car payments, Disney cruises, get the bigger house… while also embracing that ‘everyone’s kids borrow money to go to college these days’, their one gay child, their mixed, non-marriage grandkids… piping up with virtue the entire way.While their kids were stuck with six figures in ‘college’ loan debt, almost half of those not even getting a worthless degree sheepskin, they could not stop with the vapid platitudes. Never admit that using your growing home equity is not the same as “success” even though it gets you on the golf course, or equips you with an Audi to flash your overly-bright headlights at motorists that dare get in your way doing a mere 80 in a 65, left lane.These Soomers all jabbed. Kept their mouths shut as all the bad things were allowed to flourish in their muh giant corporation jobs. Cannot “understand” why some young people seem to die suddenly. Why their 30 year olds son have breasts. Why their 33 year old daughter are not married.The ones that work in government, law enforcement…. while watching it all happen live these lives where they pretend it IS the 1980’s and Ronnie Reagan is right around the corner. Try and tell a Soomer you have no intention of vooting.The Soomers did not get off their asses every Sunday morning and get their kids in a pew. Now, their godless selves are in the majority where I live — they cock their Soomer heads and look at you funny, “you go to church?” Their kids, cast astray into this world while they did what on those Sunday mornings? Golf? Watch CNBC?I can go on but no hero story intended. Just facts. My wife and I raised 4 kids, and bootstrapped hard. No new car smell. No borrowing for college, which at this point looks like a waste, but years ago was still part of that thing called ‘The American Dream.” Got kids to adulthood, as they stand now, embracing our ethos so they have no debt whatsoever and we collectively reject the ball and chain intended for one and all forever: debt. Two married off in the church, and not some trans flag/blm/rainbow statement sign display church.The Soomers let ‘the school’ tell them their sons need to be on medication(s). Note I way plural as I know Soomer parents that have sons on multiple meds, one for ‘ADHD’ and another, an adult SSRI. Dad comes home from big city job, arrives home at 7:45 after commute (yes, they dragged them back into the office) and I never see him outside doing ANYTHING with the kid.The Soomer fucked over their kids to make their lives more comfortable. More interesting. To have more sexual partners. More fun. They might as well have sold their children into slavery.Fact is, they did.

There is an old Roman saying that people carry their faults on their back. Others can see them but the person can’t.It is amusing to read younger generations complain that Boomers are stuck in the worldviews of their youth. For the most part that is true of all generations. There was a professor at Stanford who studied this topic. He found the vast majority of people formed their worldviews and tastes by 27. The ones who continued to evolve on their outlook and tastes tended to have a lot of change in their lives: jobs, marriages etc. People with stable lives were pretty much formed by 27. I have noticed this with nearly everyone I worked with who had a stable marriage and lived in suburbia.The only thing I have experienced that caused a shift in this dynamic was the election of Orange Man Bad combined with social media. The society is truly different now. People to the left of the divide, whom I could have a rational discussion with, are now deranged.The right, even the hatred boomers, have opened their eyes to a large degree. I grew up in the Vietnam War and have always viewed the American Empire and war machine as evil and the FBI as a threat to our freedom. I thought Reagan was a fraud. This made for some very unpleasant conversations with many on the right. Now even normies on the right are opening their eyes to this after the way Trump has been and still is being treated and the hatred being spewed by the Good Whites and our replacements. Seeing the DOJ and FBI become the secret police arm of the Democrat party has been a real eye opener for a lot of people who used to pride themselves on being law and order types.

Funny that the hippy father from Family Ties went on to play the reactionary gun nut on the Tremors series.

“And you know what? They are not starving.” You’re setting the aspirational bar too low. The coyotes in my local storm drain are not starving.

The reason that ad companies don’t portray some negress and her grandma and kids the same way as white people is because blacks don’t matter. Neither do Asians or anyone else. This is a white country that’s soon to be non white. White people matter and they attack what matters. What matters is what they have to destroy.

Let’s not give the boomers too much credit. They’re old enough to know by now that they’re fu ck ing us. I think they enjoy it. Nothing more pathetic than someone pushing 80 whose a juvenile piece of sh t. “You had to have been there” doesn’t wash with me and hasn’t since circa 2004. Most of them would fuk you over in a heartbeat, much like their millennial children. And fuk The Bee Gees.

I think you nailed it. This is another method for divide and conquer. The future doesn’t gs up the roots and the past burns the acorns. Enough of it.For some time I had a building maintenance guy who was from Montenegro. I talked to him often as he was cool and he told me his story about coming to America when I asked.He was in the Montenegrin special forces the equivalent of their green berets. During tue Balkan civil wars of the 90s he fled. One night his platoon was ambushed. They were thrown into a ditch. He heard shooting and screams all around him. Someone got a flashlight on. Looking up they all saw their nephews and sons shooting and killing them after pushing them into the ditch. He said he was lucky to scramble away and escape. He came to America via Albania and Italy.We need to stop this. Our posterity face a tough future and there is no brake on this runaway train. All signs point to second class citizenship and complete dispossession. We can halt this, but not if we are in fighting over what decade we were born in.Tue check kiting economic system does promote inter generational economic war via debt. However the real war has been inter racial as whites still balance the budget if it were not for the Great Society racial wealth transfer. We need to lead the way in stopping tue in fighting and pointing out just who is waging the war against whom.

It’s interesting how the “evil” or narcissistic generations are the ones that were targeted the most by media and advertising. As Z said the small generations tend to get ignored by advertisers. The small generations also tend to come of age during periods while new forms of media are forming and haven’t yet been fully locked down by the cathedral.The boomers have essentially been prisoners of television their whole lives, and the hippy to yuppie pipeline was just their version of the millennial bugmen. One funny aspect of boomer TV is how frequently the show itself will go on about how important television is. Homer Simpson’s life revolves around watching TV. At every point in their boomer lives, TV was pandering to them and telling them that they’re special and important. Right now it’s those incontinence ads where the old people are running around partying and leading improbably active lives because now with Pissentrix they no longer smell like piss.The millennials also grew up right about the time when social media metastasized and the internet became more or less censored for normies who didn’t know where to look. Same routine as the boomers: you’re special and important and people really care about you taking pictures of your food at a restaurant. Same witless social activism for narcissistic supply.I have no idea about the Gen-Z stuff like tiktok because it’s largely incomprehensible. Their youtube content seems to largely consist of effeminate rich kids jumping around squealing while engaging in conspicuous consumption. I honestly don’t see a huge difference between them and the later millennials aside from a higher tendency to dress up as anime characters.

Well actually punk rock was a thing in America until around the late 80s, long after it had disappeared from England. Z missed it because he didn’t smoke clove cigarettes and couldn’t figure out how to dance to Flock of Seagulls but instead spent the decade (and all subsequent) pining for Mx Nicks.Most of it was was fucked-up kids from fucked-up households with no musical training banging on instruments as hard as they could. But it was a thing.Black Flag, Minor Threat, Husker Du, Minute Men, Butthole Surfers, Dead Kennedys, The Replacements, Suicidal Tendencies and so on.How much of it was a forced meme is an interesting question, but no one made any money off of any of it. That didn’t happen until the ethos was married to arena rock chords by the grunge people, who had no being called sell-outs if it meant shekels.Putting that aside, the Alt Right was the most truly punk thing to hit American culture since Johnny Rotten called his American audiences a bunch of “cowboy faggots”.

You know you’ve truly made it when you have a crater named after you!https://www.rt.com/russia/581421-luna-moon-polar-pictures/“The image taken today at 08:23 Moscow time shows the south polar crater Zeeman on the far side of the Moon. The coordinates of the center of the crater correspond to 75 degrees south latitude and 135 degrees west longitude,” a Roscosmos statement confirmed.

Well Z dropped a generational conflict turd in the punchbowl just in time for weekend at the pool reading.

The appraisal of the Boomers is right on target but ever more of them are taking the red pill. Higher suicide rates are evidence some are taking the black pill. It used to be when I’d say “vote harder” or DR3, most of them didn’t get it. Now, in the face of the anti-white racism and irrelevance of elections they see around them, they’re far more open to these ideas.Furthermore, guys born c. 1980 are even more resIstant to race realism and more enamored of the blank slate, probably because they were more aggressively infected with the equality virus than prior generations. The curriculum of the the 60s and 70s was far less woke than that of late 20th century. The conquest of the Americas by Europeans was still celebrated, the cultural and scientific achievements of the West were still praised, and it was widely understood that ‘the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.’Once the march through the institutions was complete, all the means of cultural production were in the hands of the lunatics. Gen Xers and Millennials were exposed almost exclusively to postmodernist ideology. I’ve had even greater difficulty getting those guys to cross over to this side.

I don’t have anything particularly original or insightful to say about generational differences or the lack thereof. But I like to share good news on a Fridayhttps://www.al.com/news/2023/08/irs-agent-shot-and-killed-fellow-agent-at-phoenix-gun-range.htmlBeing the solidly “X” child (chronologically) of one “Greatest” parent and one “Silent,” my outlook is probably different from the typical X. Whatever that is. I remember sensing that the world they offered me was there for the taking, if I wanted it, but the pressing question was, why should I want it? The song lyric from my youth that encapsulated this: “Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes, contestants in a suicidal race.”

My portion of Gen-X (born around 1970) was full of damaged kids who are now damaged adults. It’s not a coincidence that the emo thing came about during Gen-X’s childhood and the rise of heavy metal. When I was a child, almost every single kid I knew came from a 2 parent household with a stay at home mother and a father who worked a full time job of some sort. By my teenage years, almost every single kid I knew came from a broken home and came home from school to an empty house. .Thankfully, I never even heard the term Gen-X until I was in my late teens. It was usually in the context of boomers complaining about us being slackers who wouldn’t make nuisances of ourselves in public with our lack of protesting. While Gen-X isn’t the worst about money and bootstraps, it is by far the worst of the SJWs. It is mostly the Gen-X woman being called “Karen.” It was Gen-X strategic bankruptcies that made student loans nondischargeable. It’s also when black Gen-Xers started naming their kids made up names that are supposed to be African. Through busing and “integration” I went to school with a lot of blacks, but at least they all had normal American names. They were still black, but at least they (their parents) tried being American.

Part of what makes the Boomers so unbearable is their shocking disregard for the well-being of their children and grandchildren. My Boomer mother lives in a 95% white community where construction workers are still mostly white guys.She was visiting me in a different state a few years ago and heard Mexican music coming from a nearby construction site. When she asked about it, I explained that it’s Mexicans doing a roofing job and that almost all of the roofing crews are Mexicans now.BOOMER MOM’S REPLY: “Oh wow, that’s really nice.” She meant it. It made her smile, feeling all warm and fuzzy that hard-working brown people are getting “good jobs” here in the United States.ME: “Well, actually it’s NOT nice because American white guys like your (Boomer) cousins ‘Bob and Randy’ are being squeezed out and can’t compete. If this keeps up, guys like Bob and Randy won’t be able to find jobs. The whole thing is actually pretty sad.”BOOMER MOM (said with a reassuring smile): “Oh, don’t worry. Bob and Randy are almost ready to retire. They’ll be fine.”ME (doing a slow burn): “Yeah, but what about Bob and Randy’s kids? And their grandkids? What about THEIR jobs? The younger generations aren’t getting ready to retire. What about THEM?”As usual, she had no response other than vague irritation with my apparent racism. Everything we discuss, from health care to employment opportunities to safe schools, she has absolutely no concern for how it impacts people who aren’t boomers.It’s pretty shocking, actually.

the coup that took out JFK was truly crossing the rubicon . IF whacking the president wasn’t off limits to the deep state , then nthing was off limits for the deep state. they have meen metasticizing untill they spread into a global entity . and here we are with open mass murders like covid shots and maui. the prior generations were dis-empowered then, 60 years ago. so bleming them for anything is pointless. BTW , you can’t make thids up, the police chief in Maui wes the police official in charge of the las Vegs shooting task force.

Nature and nurture.Nature is your DNA; it’s the hand you’ve been dealt by virtue of genetics. Nurture is the programming you receive post-birth that gets hardwired during the years when your brain doubles in size. Language is an obvious example. Religious inculcation is largely about instilling local and effective wisdom. Same for broader cultural traditions that have proven to “work” in your community.And for most of our history, nurture was the province of local influences; family, church, schools, and civic leadership figures. Then broadcast radio and television invaded home life and introduced an entirely new form of indoctrination that has come to augment traditional nurturing. Fast-forward to the internet and smart phone revolutions and external nurturing indoctrination has now become supercharged and overwhelming.At first it was advertisers that commandeered these new communications platforms and the goal was simply higher profits. However, seeing this success story, nefarious bad actors (think people like George Soros) seized upon this phenomenon to exert directed control over this programming and have changed the species fundamentally.We are at a dangerous crossroads in our evolutionary development. If we continue as is, colony collapse is unavoidable. A course change is therefore imperative. And there is a smart way to go about it that results in the highest probability of success.

The Zoomers are waking up from the horror of whiteness. They realize they don’t have to lord it over colored people and abuse them to have a positive self image. They focus on holistic fitness and personal growth and don’t hide behind white supremacy for economic advancement. And you know what? They are not starving. They are comfortable and know the difference between having enough and having it all.

14:10….”..I mean, he’s not going to KNOW him unless he’s pallin’ around with him in jail….” SPIT TAKE. LOL LOL

As far as I know Gen X comes from _Generation X_, the novel by Douglas Coupland.I read the thing back in 91 and I know that I had never previously heard the term.He was born I think in 62. His point was basically similar to the one you make, that late Boomers are not _really_ Boomers but a lost after thought.I was born in 61 and as a kid found the 60s kind of disturbing and weird, because as a kid nothing the older people were doing made much sense. And as Coupland pointed out in his book, there was the Viet Nam war always hanging in the background like a big black cloud, even for us Canadians.The book was not that good. Whiny and self-pitying. Mostly a bunch of short stories strung together to make a “novel”.He also indulged in a lot of this gen talk, and seemed to invent some terms of his own. He had one I can’t recall that he applied to the kids that came a little later after Gen X. It was something like International Daycare Kiddies. I guess these became the Millennials. He harped on how they did everything together, in groups. Hive-minded little buggers.This way of thinking I don’t find all that useful.

If you’re ever in doubt about who among us are true Baby Boomers, we’re the ones who still watch old Roy Rogers movies.

Off topic All due respect to elected officials from insignifcant Baltic statelets, but AmRen should try to get guys like Javier Milei. He has clout. But more importantly, he appears to understand that we are actually in a war and we are not going to win by treating the enemy with dignity or respect. We need fire, not hot takes, silk ties and bon mots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzEwtGpVULk

I think generational politics and generational differences among the obsolete farm equipment isn’t a thing because for well over 65 years, that demographic have been raised as wards of the state, as well as being culturally stuck in permanent adolescence. A “ghetto” Afro-Boomer is virtually the same as a AfroXer or a AfroZoomer “hood rat” in all the things that matter to them-1. Gibs.2. Violence, criminality, malt liquor and weed.3. Fouling their nest with stupid, self destructive idiocy.4. Blaming Whitey.

I understand your dislike for generational politics, and the point about hating your ancestors is sound.As a younger guy, and younger than your typical audience, I don’t hate my grandparents or parents, however I find their views on the world incredibly frustrating. Coming out of college I couldn’t find a job right away and though I eventually landed one I had to deal with these ridiculous platitudes from my parents and grandparents about how I just needed to “pound the pavement” and “have a good handshake”.It was a total disconnect and a lack of understanding that this isn’t the 60s or 90s anymore and the job market is extremely competitive if you didn’t go to a top tier college.Fast forward a few years and my wife and I are getting the same goofy comments about why we haven’t bought a house yet “you’re throwing your money away in rent”. They just assume that we are being vain and don’t want to maintain a house. Even when I show them how much a house costs in their neighborhood they pull up Zillow listings in the ghetto as an alternative!At no point has anyone offered to let us live with them to save up money, just like nobody offered to try and leverage their contacts in their businesses to help me find a job.I think that’s where the resentment comes from. The older generations had life on easy mode in terms of these basic life milestones. That’s not to say they didn’t work hard personally, they all did work very hard. But they have never had to deal with half the BS my wife and I deal with navigating modern America.

Generations were historically 20 years for a pretty good reason. This was around the average age of a woman’s first pregnancy. A woman born in 1905 would have, on average, begun having children in 1925. Using this as a metric, generations should be getting longer, not shorter. In my mind, the first “Gen-A” has yet to be born and Nick Fuentez is a Millennial.But “generations” have been turned into a gay identity and a fashion statement and became somewhat prescriptive as opposed to descriptive. Since everything is fake and gay, the younger generations is having a hard time building a traditional identity and will embrace the gay stuff.Whatever generation the high school kids of today are, they are going to be worse in every way than even gen-x. These are the most confused kids who think autism is cool and cutting off their genitals is hip. I’m sure other mental illnesses are going to find their way into the fashionable accessory by the cool kids of the current generation. Maybe they will start identifying as schizophrenic or bi-polar non-binary furry. There will be a new diagnoses for the inherent contradiction of being bi-polar and non-binary at the same time. Just imagine what they will be like in the workforce.

It’s an index of Leftist cultural barbarism that “diverse,” insteading of meaning “variegated” (the correct definition) now means “non-white.”

“Nothing screams the glorious future like a young mentally unstable genetic dead end.” Pure gold.

As a parent, I’m around the high school generation. Granted, my kids’ school is fairly (but not completely) well off, so I can only give my first-hand impression of the kids who are going to do well.First, while our school is still pretty white, other “good” schools are becoming very heavily Indian and Asian. The Hispanics of Northern Virginia are something sprinkled in the good schools but usually cluster in a few bad, but not particularly dangerous schools. (Most drop out over the course of high school anyway.)What you notice with this upcoming generation – at least from the perspective of the DR – is the noticeable lack – both physically and culturally – of the two main non-white groups of our time: Jews and blacks.At the top, you have the white, Asian and Indians kids. You’ll particularly notice the Indians and Asians at college. Jews are just not a dominate force like they used to be. In fact, you don’t see them much at all on debate teams or math contests. On the low end, Hispanics have pushed out blacks.It’s hard to say what will hold their society together. The white, Asian and Indian kids at the top seem to get along pretty well and they mouth the multi-culti stuff but seem to not much believe it or care about it outside of avoiding trouble. The Hispanics openly dislike blacks but, generally, don’t care about them as long as they’re not in their neighborhoods.And none of them care a whit about colorblind civic nationalism. (Sorry, Steve Sailer and crew.) Culturally, the Asians and Indians act white. While they may be more ethnocentric than the whites, they’re not a culturally distinct group and, certainly, the inter-dating (which, admittedly, is mostly Asian or Indian women dating white guys but not always) shows that they’re not that ethnocentric.As Z notes, our rulers and, even, many in the DR are stuck in the 20th century. What’s coming is very different. The Jewish influence likely will wane, which isn’t good news for blacks. White liberals will be overtaken by much more pragmatic Indians and, to some degree, Asians, who are not true believers in Wokism but are more than willing to use it to benefit themselves and, if possible, others of their tribe.But underneath it all will be a simple question left unanswered: Who are we?

The generational stuff is just a reflection of our decaying families. Yes, we do hate our ancestors. They hate us in return. I can’t see any other reason for this.

I’m an X, and the kids are Zoomers. I’ve already prepared them for being squeezed out of the culture early as you mentioned, Z. Told them to have one ‘old school’ skill or trade, and one more contemporary skill to adapt as well as possible.I’m planning on no Soc. Sec. check, but I think it is possible TPTB will just crank up the payroll taxes on Millennials to kick the can down the road. There may be just enough Boomers left along with us to make enough noise about it to delay the inevitable. Since there are so many Millennials, they can probably cover the cost of X, but will almost certainly get shafted on Soc. Sec. in the end whether we do or not.

The one group of people that was born at almost precisely the right time were those born between 1946 and 1950; They entered the work force or secondary education between 1964 and 1968, when times were very good. I don’t think that it’s an accident that three American presidents were born in 1946. If you were born, as I was, in 1954, things were still pretty good in 1972, but not nearly as good as they had been earlier. A person born in 1960 entered the work force or secondary education in 1978, which was genuinely a different world than that of 1964.As Z-man mentioned the catastrophic policy mistakes of the 1960s were the product of the “Greatest Generation” (WWII era veterans) and their parents. Historians will be puzzling for centuries about what madness seized these people!

Fashions – I hated the bell-bottoms and other 70s fashion no sense. Started high school in 79 and always wore normal jeans. I think we were all relieved to see it go away. I did sometimes watch Family Ties and despised the parents (although I often noticed that Mom’s body in my teens).

How can there be 6 generations out there (“Greatest”, Boomer, X, Millennial, Zoomer, Alpha) which adds up to 120 years (going by 20 years per generation). The human life span is normally <90. Methinks the media-industrial complex is too eager to find new generations. Soon we'll be decreasing generation size to 5 years so TIME Magazine can put out an issue about the consumer tendencies of 3-year-olds in 2035.

Should be required listening for anyone with limited or retarded opinions on generational culture or even warfare. I understand our European brothers have much less than us on this of course that may have changed as they mimic everything else American do.

Two weeks with no show. It’s going to be a rough three weeks waiting for the next show. Without the Power Hour, is it even Friday?

Born in ’66 I was always glad to not be lumped in one of these named generations. Somebody has probably rearranged the dates to include me in one of them. Whatever the label, I don’t accept it.

1974 model year here. Whether by culture or calendar, I believe that puts me squarely within gen X. I e been reading, daily, here for years and I’ve noticed overlaps in shared experiences. For example, a Holocaust memorial was built around the corner from my house a few years ago. I never heard anyone asking for such a memorial but there it is. As Z man describes, I was oblivious to the world around me in high school. However I remember something teachers were saying at the time and have since heard it mentioned once here. “We are transitioning to a service economy” I am wondering if this was repeated everywhere and if so who do I get to hate for doing this?

It will be interesting to see how Generation Alpha turns out. If they succeed it will put to rest a lot of the debate regarding diversity and multiculturalism. Things that will affect Generation Alpha will be the dominance of the Democrat Party, war with Russia, the reintroduction of universal military service and nationwide war mobilization, restrictions on dissemination of information, mandatory fitness training, and the equivalent of de-nazification in the south. The above are predictions but I’m pretty sure they will happen in the near future.
