Thank you. My parents are "boomers" and I hate the way the internet treats that age group. My father was drafted during Vietnam, and those guys were not treated with welcome arms once returning to the U.S. People forget the 1970s with the gas lines, out of control inflation and very high interest rates on mortgages. I am Gen X and watched my father's factory job get shipped overseas. Then my mother "had" to take a job just make ends meet. I don't like wine, either. hahaha We have all been "brain washed" and poisoned. Once you understand the social engineering, behavior science, think tanks, and biological effects of what has been done to all of us, it completely changes how you think about the world. Its an evil evil place, and I pray to God, I never have to come back here, once I am dead. Knowing what so-called humans will do to each other for a dollar makes me sick.
This a wonderful comment, thanks. I put in the wine comment in just to show how silly all the stereotypes are - in all generations. We are all unique gypsy souls of creation - at least until the evil ones hook billions up to the AI cloud. I posted this magic Christian short video to highlight just how far the so called humans will go for a dollar.
Meanwhile, here is a graph showing how much all the age groups complied.
Considering X Geners are 45 to 60 now, they complied pretty darn high I’d say. You know, there’s complete justification for hating people of every generation. I don’t think the boomers deserve a disproportionate amount.
Nicely written. The most important point is that EVERY SINGLE GENERATION since 1945 (does that ring a bell?) has been led by the "elites" (yeah right) by the nose, in following the current "thing", plus, most importantly, antagonize each other, so the named "elites" can carry on with their business. Admittedly, it's going on since much longer, yet 1945 was a booster. And since the scamdemic they are brazenly doing it in public, so much dumbed down is the current state of mind of the "western" population.
This is a wonderful, and so true, comment. You punctuated my point of how this has been going on forever, and how the “elites” use us to antagonize each other to meet their goals. Thanks. All these people boomer bashing are so myopic, playing right into the “elites” game.
73 yo. Parents owned mom and pop grocery store in far east Texas. We lived behind the store and I grew up checking oil, pumping gas, bagging and stocking the store. We made a living and not much more. Worked my way through college at a steel fab operation, nights and weekends. Never took a student loan. Graduated with no debt and enough extra to move to Dallas and get a job. Worked 16 hours a day 7 days a week (112) hours a week was normal for us. All nighters when necessary. We were all happy for the opportunity. We saved every penny, bought our first house in 1976 for $28k - 30 year fixed 12.5%. (Less than 7% today) Paid the mortgage off in 2006. About 10 years before we paid off the mortgage, we started making pretty decent money. Saved the extra, started building our nest egg. Retired in 2019. Still live in the same house, drive old cars, been developing a 2nd career in commercial real estate for 5 years. Save every extra dime. Formula for our Boomer Success: go to church, get right with God; learn a valuable trade; get married; stay married; buy a house; pay it off; live free, save the extra. Stay happy, stay optimistic, love your wife, love your God. If it can happen for me and mine, it can happen for anyone.
Wonderful story. I think you call folks like yourself “salt of the Earth”. The average boomer has a similar story to tell. It’s people like you with these principles that helped build America into a strong country. So sad that a fake narrative has been put out there that the boomers were the exact opposite of this, and destroyed the country. Ironically, that narrative is being spread by the very people who really are destroying the the country now, and everything people like you built.
Thank you for liking this, and thank you for the link. Looks like a great article. Funny, I just sent to someone the quote millionaires don’t use astrology, billionaires do.
Huh. Interesting synchro. Thanks for sharing that.
Here’s the bottom line for me: socioeconomic groups are fictions invented by academic eggheads and journalistic paid hacks.
There are just people making choices, judged good or bad depending on the results. The basic unit of society is the family, and every one’s family is dysfunctional to a greater or lesser degree. Every generation blames the one before… I think that’s in a song.
My husband and I are boomers. Been totally awake since reading None Dare Call it Conspiracy at 18 yrs old. Unvaxxed, unmasked, protestors, non compliant throughout Covid, treated like crap by people of all ages for not complying, especially by younger people. We don’t trust government, politicians, media, health professionals. Don’t like being labelled because of our age. We’re more aware than most people around us.
This perfectly describes my husband and me as well. Where is all this crazy, opposite from truth story about boomers coming from. It’s like being a tiger and having a hyena costume pasted on you. Strange part is it is so obviously not true to anyone with half a brain.
Thank you for this fun..fine..thoughtful..intelligent well focused article . Who is it..that puts a sword between decent older and younger folk..who revises current affairs only to distract from their super predatorial..super criminal networked crimes.?...Not one generation..only.". Who?....**
We never tolerated falsely accusing innocent older or younger people....**
Oh how I tire of the "ok, boomer" meme, good on you for your critique. In the UK, there was no consumer society for the masses until the late 1980s. To coin a phrase, we had nothing and could have done with a little bit more. We used to have a concept of "enough", what happened to that? When I mentioned to a manager that my salary was "enough", his response was that they must be paying me too much! Thank heaven I'm 67 and on the way out.
How timely! I was just wishing someone would write this article showing that the “BOOMER” thing is a contrivance to foment yet more division in our society. One of my daughter’s friends is a 36 year old near-do-well, and blames Boomers for his problems. I’ve seen a lot of “boomer” hate on substack. By the way, I sent this article to the daughter’s friend and he blocked me!!!! Talk about denial!!!
Thanks for this comment. I find an interesting conflict on Substack. Tons of younger generation types are waxing nostalgic and making posts about how wonderful the 50s lifestyle was, and want to know how things went wrong. Well, that was the boomers lifestyle. Next the same people are bashing the boomers mercilessly. A lot of the bashing is about what boomers choose to do now that they are retired, like RV touring. So, they were supposed to work all their life, and have no right to retire? What are these younger geniuses going to do when they retire? They tour around in vans, but RVs are bad. They smoke pot, but booze is bad…and on the nonsense goes. Hypocrisy and denial.
Why the need to categorize people based on age? I call it ageism. Promoted by the controllers of course. Years ago, one could clearly apprehend an approaching period of resentment towards retirees by the socioeconomic trends. I just didn’t think it would be this severe. A lot of us are really part of “generation jones,” and are mistakenly called boomers. We had a very difficult economy as young adults with unbelievabley high mortgage interest rates. It was a struggle to raise children in a rapidly changing world with the overwhelming influences of an increasingly dictatorial education system, medical system and computer gaming influences!!!
I found myself battling the drug-pushing education system at every turn. It was the beginning of what by now has become government boot camp.
Again, thank you for your article. Let’s unite to fight the real problem, and it isn’t “BOOMERS!”
Ageism is indeed the real term. I’m part of the generation Jones. Never thought of it before, but same as you I was battling a drug pushing education system, I struggled terribly financial and to get descent work, never could afford my own home until I was 45 (and that was only because of the cheap mortgage giveaways after 911) and am very cynical as a result of all this. I felt like the hippy fad just passed me by. I always felt different then the older boomers, but not quite like an X - now I know why.
Boomers have nothing to do with our current state of economics. They are doing better than younger generations because they were born during a time when everything was expanding. That's life...
I got so sick of seeing horrible boomer bashing posts on this site from normally intelligent people that I just had to do something. How easily they condescended into, as you said, divisive, myopic stereotyping insults to get some attention.
New sub.
58 raised by old WW2 vets.
I actually don't know what gen I am. Red neck and angry at all the stupid shit I am seeing.
Same
How about bite me with your nastiness.
I thought Gen Redneck and Fat was funny
As far as you seeing your dick. I couldn’t care less.
Seems you need to see someone for that nasty chip on your shoulders.
💯
I love it 👉Gen Redneck and Fat.
Check out Gen Jones.
Ok I'll bite the bait Chantel.
Fat? Nawww.
I can still see my dick when I piss
In fact I'm probably in better shape than you are.

Nah, but some of the Boomer Hate is completely justified. Like how Boomers all mostly complied during the Plandemic. Meanwhile Gen X:

Satans Bolsheviks always use hatred to divide the people so no one is looking at them while they murder you in various ways.
Perfect comment** BINGO! God Bless.God Speed** Don't go quietly off into the long dark road to Genocide* REARM NOW**

These principles were basically the same that Booker T Washington taught the “Freedmen” at Tuskegee. They are universal.
As a member of Generation Jones, I really appreciate your balanced objective view.
As the middle child, I kind of thought hippies were weird. And I never caught the punk wave; I was married and working and in college.
For a metaphysical take on this, take a look at this article.
Remember: millionaires don’t use astrology, but billionaires and the Nobility do.

The Bolsheviks are masters at teaching people to hate one another while they steal, kill, and destroy.

“Tenet” not “tenant”. So many people get that wrong.
