You don’t have to believe me about how unpopular the term Latinx is among Latinos. Listen to the largest and oldest Latino civil rights group in the country.
Latino civil rights organization drops 'Latinx' from official communication https://t.co/h6yArPbGpZ via @nbcnews— Ruben Gallego (@RubenGallego) December 9, 2021
The fact that the tranny agenda can’t work in Latin countries because it literally doesn’t make any sense due to the structure of the language is one of the funniest things ever.
What is even funnier is that the Jewish solution was to restructure the language to fit their anal agenda.
RT:
The oldest Latino civil rights group in the US is mulling dropping the word “Latinx” from its official communications. A fresh poll showed the term is perceived negatively by some 40% of Latino voters.
Domingo Garcia, president of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), sent an email on Wednesday to other members of the group’s management, suggesting that they should stop using “Latinx” because it was “very unliked” by the very people they serve.
He added a link to a Miami Herald editorial reporting a fresh opinion poll by Bendixen & Amandi International, a Miami-based Democratic firm. The national survey of Latino voters showed that they prefer to describe themselves as “Hispanic” or “Latino/Latina”.
The term “Latinx” was favored by only 2% of those polled, while 40% said it bothers or offends them to some degree. A whopping 30% said they would be less likely to vote for a politician using the word.
“The reality is there is very little to no support for its use and it’s sort of seen as something used inside the Beltway or in Ivy League tower settings,” Garcia told NBC News, explaining the decision. LULAC represents people “on Main Street in the barrio and we need to make sure we talk to them the way they talk to each other.”
2% support.
That means that the term “latinx” is even less popular than Kamala Harris.

RE: your last line, Andrew
Getting the boomers riled up about China by shilling Xi’s program is precisely what you should be doing with every article. This is a generation that’s never once been challenged on any opinion that’s ever crossed their minds.
I cut off my boomer mother and aunts long ago, and they died alone in their own filth. That is the alternative for many if they don’t change their ways.
Myself I’ve always preferred the term beaner or wetback.
It’s almost like the Hispanics in America might not want to become liberal stooges, people who fit into neatly described labels and who vote correctly.
“Lantinx: of, relating to, or marked by Latin American heritage —used as a gender-neutral alternative to Latino or Latina” — Marriam-Webster
Do you notice how these Boomers and ((Jews)) attempt to shove everything into a (P.C.) pigeonhole, so they can package them and make money off selling the package this or that, or the package itself?
It’s how their sick, warped, robotic minds go about “owning” people, and it eventually ends in slavery, as Globalism is driving down Christian and Western middle class wages and leading us into slavery. It also comes in handy for Globalist political purposes.
Oy! You’re Latinx! You must vote for Dem candidate X! Everyone of Latinx heritage is doing it! AOC is Latinx!
These ((Jews)) really played the arrogant Boomer jackasses for the fools they are. The ((Jews)) of course are just downright evil and poisonous. Notice how much Boomers love ((Jews))? They’ve been programmed to, just like ((Jews)) program their young to be automatons for the Tribe through all manner of emotional coercion, brainwashing, physical abuse and sexual abuse (gender mutilation).
So maybe it’s not entirely the Boomers fault. After all, the infiltrated British Empire fought WW2 for ((Jews)) and Zionists/Marxists, so the Boomers learned their rotten mindset from earlier generations who got suckered by ((Jews)) and their corrupted, greedy-pig collaborators.
Since no Boomer 9other than a Boomer in China) cares a fig about China, you sound like a crazed loon. As a Boomer I don’t get what the “joke” was. Some out of focus photo of a Mexican with no teeth laughing? Truly just more Gen-X kookoo stuff. Gen-X’ers are such flipping insane haters that they think an entire other generation has never been challenged? That’s truly ignorant evil, but, can it get even stranger, meaner and insaner?
You cut them off? They died alone? In their own filth? Were you married to them?? Did you have them shackled in your basement? What ways do they have to change or be doomed to being shackled in their own filth in your basement? Can’t you go down and spray them with cold water every week or so? Did you bury their husbands in your backyard?
Why does this column attract these Gen-X psychos?
Coincidentally, only 2% of Americans in 1965 thought we should switch to effectively open borders. But they were a very important 2%.
No generation did more damage to its own civilization than the North American baby boomers did. Not one. So ignorant, so hoodwinked, so violently fervent, so blinkered. And look at the mess they left for those who came after them. Useful goyim led around by their noses. So determined to show daddy up they were prepared to burn everything down.
There are plenty of idiots in every age group–boomers have no monopoly there.
I was born in the 1950’s, and we called them Tacos. What is this blaming Boomers for Millennial garbage?
Somehow the “Greatest Generation” that produced the Boomers did a piss poor job raising them. Don’t forget that the “Great Men of Western Civilization Who Fought and Beat the Axis” came home and raised their children to become hippies and communists.
Now that Latinos have political power, they must realize that they are on their own. They cannot depend on white people to constantly protect them in cities where they are the vast majority. Whites are under attack by the system. Police for example are no longer going to play the administrations game of “I am damned if I do and damned if I don’t”. Just a friendly observation. And as for most of the “boomers” of any race, including Latino’s, well, they are too brainwashed and politically stupid to act on anything, even if it’s in their best interests.
The “Great Men of Western Civilization” (Christendom) were pushed into the war by anti-Christon Mammonites and ((Jews))/Marxists.
The ((Jews)) hoodwinked the world into a massive holocaust of humanity, and have been instigating massive wars and death ever since.
So, when anyone is looking for an ally, they should avoid you at all costs (one that leaves his own family to die in filth).
Ridiculous. But good to know when the shtf.
Young people are dumb. Nothing can be simple-minded enough for them. Period. ‘Nuff said.
Greatest Gen who sent kids to Vietnam, blind to Termite psyops = TV, music, movies, major Holohoax ‘sale’, fell for corp’s cheap labor immigration strategy, etc, etc. Yeah, it’s us Boomers (b.1946). (But eyes started opening w/ JFK et al assassinations, etc)
I can understand white Latinos sticking with ‘Latino’.
But shouldn’t the brown ones(the Tacoans) be angry about ‘Latino’ itself?
https://dailyhammerandsickle.blogspot.com/2018/12/latino-or-latinx-is-insult-to-true.html
You might be right if you mean boomers voted for Ronald Reagan in greater numbers than their parents did. Reagan expanded the government more than anybody since FDR, so yeah, they became Red State Communists on that one.
There were not enough hippies to matter. Lots of them were faked by the television networks because they were all run by CIA operatives who want Americans to fight each other while foreigners destroy the economy and pour welfare-dependent refugees into the country.
A united people would not have allowed this. So those who purposely disuniting us are responsible, age and details notwithstanding.
It’s a plus for Arsyism that it’s not a supporter of the Sodomites, whatever else we might think of Arsyism. Full marks, Latini!
Or RC-ism or whatever it’s called.
Jews are somewhat behind us in this idiocy:
Yiddish derives a third from German:
Ladino, like other Romance tongues, makes do with two, masculine and feminine. This children’s song in Ladino is quite easy to understand:

That was Tip O’Neill. Read the Constitution.
I agree with much of what you said and why you said it. The so called Greatest Generation, had quite the time with endless barbecue and Tiki parties while all of this was going on. In fact, it was pressure from the boomers, who actually got handicap access to increase. The WW 2 generation didn’t care much before the boomers took up the issue.
If you recognize the ((Jews)) for what they are, which is an evil entity whispering in the ear of the nations, tempting them with easy money if only they’ll go in with the ((Jews)) on this one treacherous deal (for example, the 9/11 inside job), you can see how once you start down the road with ((Jews)), there’s no getting off the path to hell.
This is why NOBODY from either party will speak against ((Jews)) — because the country has been hip deep in evil since WW2.
I think Kennedy was going to turn it around, which is why the ((Jews)) took him out. ((LBJ)) quickly put us into Vietnam and then covered up the assault on the USS Liberty for his Zionist masters.
How could the Kennedys be so naive, especially given the “anti-Semitism” of Joseph Kennnedy, and their own Catholic background? I’ll tell you how: these vain fools fell for the ‘New World Man’ narrative (you know the Rush song, an anthem for Boomers) in its fetal stages, and thought they new better than 2k years of Western Civilization. And the ((Jews)) flattered that vanity.
The Kennedys were a foreshadowing of the Boomers, right down to getting mauled for their conceit, and refusing to see who and what mauled them.
Does every generation have to learn how treacherous and evil the ((Jews)) are for itself, or does the institutional memory of Christendomn do the job for them?
That is why the ((Jews)) are so hell bent on assassinating Christ once and for all.
“Generational Aggravation” is an American disease caused by the History That Is Not Written.
Millions of working class boomers went out on a limb during the labor actions all over the nation, from Southworks USS steel in Chicago to the Fontana mill in California. And not just the old industries, no. I could tell you the stories but there’s a better way:
This is happening now. Striking workers being replaced by scab bastards. And it looks a lot like the “scabs” they hired from Ohio are ringers and are sabotaging the facilities, God bless them. God also bless the Michigan workers who refused the bribe to replace the Michigan workers.
Don’t matter if you are Gen X or older, younger, whatever: If you put your ass on the line for the American Standard of Living, from the 1970s till eternity, you are in a big club. No tribe run media company will tell your story — EVER.
No. I mean just no.
I voted for Ronnie in 1980 and I will hate him till the day I die. Not one move he made didn’t make things worse. His blank check to the Pentagon created the climate for Eternal War we are now stuck with. Jump starting the War On Drugs allowed agencies to go nuts with everything from asset forfeiture to formerly illegal entrapments.
Tip O’Neill? They were ALL in on it. But Reagan set the pace and greased the skids for the tyranny we have now.
And ‘cis-male and cis-female’ gotta go, too. Can’t be banned, of course, but its use ought to become a sign of translunacy. Give me good old cislunacy, every day.
LaRaza came out today and stated, “Officially, we would like to be referred to as “beaners.”
Well, if they’re so big on being a part of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) — then let them all go back to latin america … this is the United States, which is NOT a part of latin america … now was it ever designed to be.
We got along so very well withou them for so very long … time to revisit those ‘thrilling days of yesteryear’ …
Save our Constitution and our Bill of Rights … save our Sovereign Nation … save our Culture … save our European Identity … save our Institutions … save our Heroes and our Traditions … save US from all of those who would destroy any or all of those our prized possessions …
Do like I do–refer to them as “Spix”.
I posted troll, and I really hope that was true. At the unz review though these days you never know for sure.
“I posted troll… At the unz review though these days you never know for sure.”
l0l – Indeed… But I think there are special allowances for any comments posted to an Anglin thread.
Latinx doesn’t make any sense, it’s stupid it’s not even possible to pronounce it.
That just means that Jews suck at Spanish. They really do.
“Latino” itself is a bad term, but “Hispanic”, which is related to language, is not much better.
I would just use “Latin Americans”, or refer to the person’s nationality (Mexican, Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, etc.). If they were born in the U.S., you can refer to their family’s heritage.
That’s “Risitas”, he’s Spanish and he’s hilarious.

Cause and effect. Equal and opposite reaction. We GenXers were cursed to both aspire to their adolescent rebellion and capacity for exaggeration, and simultaneously reject everything they supposedly stood for. That’s also why millenials are so characterized by both bland callousness and shallow virtue.
And yet we fall for their lies again and again and again……..
Dr. William Luther Pierce talks about this in his speech “Why we deserve their (The Jews) contempt”

Hey dumbass, the boomers were 8 when our civil rights were violated in 1964 and 9 when immigration violated the entire country in 1965. The teen boomers were sent off to die in Vietnam by the greatest generation and college age boomers fought the empire and got LBJ out and the war and draft stopped. What wars have your generation gotten stopped? Oh! What did you care, YOU weren’t being drafted, because of boomer protests. Dumbass. The Ww2 and Korean war generation fucked the world up, and they remain in power to this day, in the persons of Pelosi, Schumer and a hundred others of them up there, all too old to be boomers, so Fuck you. Dumbass. Your generation hung homolove, rap nigger worship along with other depravity around ALL our necks and your generation turned the internet boomers invented into a cesspool.
Lastly, your generation turned women into obese, pierced, tatted, blue and pink haired hamplanet warpigs. That’s the mark YOUR generation made in the world. Quit worshipping blaxx, get your women in shape, get rid of some. Then come talk about the boomers. Our sin, the boomers, was to allow succeeding generation to become the woke, depraved, ass-wrangling homos and trannies and slobs you are. Dumbass.
Great point. The ((Jews)), the Combine, the Media/Military Industrial Complex, ZOG — call it what you will — is adept at Divide and Rule, including pitting generations against one another.
Its important to keep focused on the Evil Ones wreaking havoc.
BUT… righteous and legitimate peacenik Boomers like ((Oliver Stone)), for example, was in bed with notorious Hollywood Zionist shill ((Arnon Milchen)) in the production of ‘JFK.’ No mention of the Israel angle in the movie whatsoever. This is not a coincidence.
So talented and ambitious ((Oliver Stone)) was unwilling to jeopardize his career by exposing the ((Jews)) in the woodwork? How many self-righteous Boomers made a similar deal with the Devil? And how many rolled over for the Zionist inside job of 9/11?
I would say the Boomers were willing to superficially oppose ZOG when it was in their interests to do so (ie the draft) but not if it was really was going to cost them $omething.
I guess the lesson there is to demonstrate how NOT opposing ZOG is ultimately going to cost everyone EVERYTHING.
I’m beginning to think you’re a DNC plant working to divide Whites by trying to separate Whites into different age groups, diluting their power. There are some boomers who are arch conservative, pro-White citizens and younger Whites who have been brainwashed to hate their ancestry.
“Boomers” were not (and are not) even aware of “ZOG.”
I’m convinced that boomer bashing is an IDF tool to divert criticism away from jews and onto innocent old white people, while also pitting young whites against older whites.
The other aspect that irks me is that while many young whites seem to be stupid as fuck, I don’t spend an inordinate amount of time criticizing them as it isn’t productive and I know they have jewbrain which is not their fault…..while every dumbfuck alt-right podcast rants about “boomers” non-stop and actually think it’s funny and edgy to do so.
It’s absurd.
The jewing is the problem…..not old people who rock to Led Zep and get thrown in jail for going to a Trump rally on Jan.6.
That’s great; For your next challenge: what does Risitas have to do with Boomers? Or with China?
Risa is laugh, btw. So Risitas would be laugher.
Yeah, that was tolerable when you were in your teens and 20s. I should know: in the early 90s all of my friends in San Francisco were Gen-X.
But now? You guys are in your 40s and 50s. And there’s still this hate nonsense?
Also, this psycho was talking about being happy his mother died in her own filth??? What kind of psychotic devil would be proud of that? Who cares what generation his Mom was from? She was your mother. I’m sick of these crazed zombies.
I’d say grow up, but this guy has grown INTO psychosis.
OK. But how many are aware of the Military Industrial Complex? How many are aware of the corrupt media? How many are aware that Hollywood/Big Media is controlled by ((Jews))?
This whole “I’m shocked…shocked!” act is akin to the mass method acting that goes on in D.C. and even across much of America comparing today’s Jews to Biblical sages, or pretending that Israel is an underdog, or pretending that Saddam had WMD, or pretending to believe the official 9/11 narrative, or pretending to believe in the God of the Bible, or in Meryl Streeps infamous words “Harvey Weinstein is God.” In Hollywood, he was God for awhile.
Crappy people believe what they want to believe, or what is most convenient to believe, particularly when there’s money or careers on the line, or national ego. The British and Anglos pretended to believe the Germans were evil but their Commie Allies were A-OK in WW2, ignoring the ((Bolshevik)) holocaust of Whites and dissidents that led to WW2; ignoring the British imperial imperative — in no small part because the ((Rothschilds)) and the ((Cousinhood)) had so much money and prestige. Churchill pretended to believe ((Commies)) and ((Zionists)) were polar opposites, even though he knew the truth of their kinhood, and their crossover agenda.
I think there’s a lot of mass method acting going on, and deep down, plenty know the truth, but are playing dumb.
When a mass of people play dumb long enough, eventually they become dumb. Or, when they ignore evil long enough, they become evil.
I think that might be what’s happened to America. It most certainly happened to the ((Jews)).
Some boomers escaped their generation too… but some just bought into it too deeply. Self-awareness is probably a part of maturity that the post-WW2 generations are getting less and less of.
Re-read what I wrote:
Are you really unware that WW2 was an Anglo-Zionist-Bolshevik knock off of Europeans? Are you really unaware that Anglo elites have been in bed with wealthy ((Jews)) for at least a couple of centuries?
And who let the ((Jews)) do that to them? The Anglo-elites in bed with them for so long, that’s who.
You still don’t get it, do you? These Anglo-elites have sold their soul to the Devil, metaphorically, and perhaps literally.
Are you really unaware that WW2 began as an Anglo-French attempt at preventing German dominance of the continent? That there were Jews who were supportive of the National Socialists and their plan of relocating European Jews to the Middle East? The Jews were smart enough to position themselves so they would have prospered whoever won the war.
Would that be the “enlightened” clique of Anglo-French who were in bed with ((Bolshevik)) mass murderers in Russia as well as the wealthy ((Cousinhood))? And what, exactly, was so great about preventing German dominance of the continent? Would the “enlightened” ((Cousinhood/Bolsheviks)) have been unable to set up their Globalist grift and finish murdering White Christians?
Yes, I’m well aware of the treachery of the double-dealing and triple-dealing Nest of Vipers and their reptilian “morality.”
So you’re a Judeophile who admires the reptilian morality of ((Jews))?
:How would you know about these or those boomers? Are you doing a 24/7 survey? For that matter, how would anyone know?
Also, what exactly was there to escape from? I just don’t get it. It is literally insane to boomer bash. And I’ve heard it for years now and it never ever ever made any sense at all.
Stacy Herbert of The Keiser Report used to boomer bask a lot (strange since her husband, Max Keider, is a boomer) and her explain was that the boomers reaped all of the benefits of the 50s prosperity and then hooked up on the real estate housing ladder of fake appreciation, which nevertheless was and is still real as long as it lasts.
But that wasn’t wrong or evil. it was just what was. She and other boomer bashers appear to believe that buying a home at a low price and selling it later at a high price is some kind of purposeful evil or something.
Not only is that clearly absurd and false, not all boomers did that anyway. Hating an entire generation? Come on dude. Cut it out. Stacy finally did. She got so much pushback she declared she was now an official boomer, only to have the gen-x listeners go wild on her and she kind of backtracked.
In other words, she realized how stupid what she was saying was. And it is. And by the way: using this same lingo with any other group (i.e., females, trannies, blacks, gays, mentally retarded, etc.) and you’d be doxed and run out of town on a rail.
It’s only white people and boomers that it’s ok (to some people) to say these nutty bigoted ignorant evil things about.
And most if not all is coming from Gen-X. Milennials and Gen-Z? I don’t think they care about the aging boomers that much anyway. You’ll have to remind me who that famous boomer basher is who has his own website and is wall known in the same type of right wing circles (vox populi? I can’t remember, help me out): he is such a gen-x boomer basher that he’s impossible to take seriously in anything he writes.
He seems to think that “the boomers” ruined everything. Yet if you look at ruining everything mostly what you find is the people born before 1946 (the first boomer year). And those people were in power for the past 4 decades even if they were not at the very top. Meaning that Bush II is a boomer but all the people surrounding him were of an earlier generation.
Millions of boomer generation people are poorer than shit and profited little over the past 50 years. In fact, wages started to GO DOWN in 1970 and have continued to go down ever since–my entire working life.
Don’t talk to me about boomers taking it all, ok? Stereotyping a group is stupid. And anyone who does it just doesn’t know what they are talking about.
Latinx – whether it’s pronounced as Latin-X or Latinx – is a useless term. First off, Latinx sounds like an animal.
“Have you fed your pet Latinx the day? Changed his water?” However, Latin-X almost sounds like a work or even a political project.
The fact that we’re coming into 2022 and have these ridiculous issues of labeling, calling out, cancelling, and spewing hate – and calling everything rayciss shows how far we’ve come as a country in the past five or six decades. Not.
Jus sayin’
If only that happened! Too bad the greatest subhuman got what he always wanted and birthed the boomers. How righteous is God!
Recognizing that a competitor is intelligent or clever doesn’t mean one is a “phile” or an admirer. Give the Jews credit where credit is due. They’re able to stick together whether one is a boomer or a millennial, they’re able to prosper while their neighbors are going hungry. Whites are divided and losing ground, stop underestimating the folks who are winning.
What you say has merit, but stereotypes exist for a reason. For a more nuanced view than simple ‘boomer bashing,’ try Culture of Narcissism by Christopher Lasch.
As far as my experience goes, it’s admittedly nothing but an anecdotal impression of just about every parent, teacher, or any other 20-30 something adult that I encountered growing up, compared to every other member of my own generation. My opinions may not be scientifically conclusive, but they’re based on a certain consistency of perceptions.
I understand and agree with you completely about stereotyping, but I believe Gen-X has a huge blind spot.
[Btw, no thanks on the book recommendation. For reasons you will soon understand.]
I returned to San Francisco in 1990 after an almost 10 year absence, only to find a completely different world. Gen-X had come of age and in the midst of that, all-night raves at hidden locations and a primitive internet had pulled that age demographic into a large group.
Luckily for me (or perhaps unluckily), I happened to look 25 years younger than my actual age. Soon, I had several hundred “friends” Since San Francisco can be a very small town type city this was an astonishing opportunity for me: a once in a life time opportunity to have a rich social life, simply be being at the cutting edge of these new developments and looking the part so to speak.
I found Gen-X to be extremely age conscious–continually playing age games, using generational markers (e.g., Schoolhouse Rock, alt.rock bands from their youth in the 80s and early 90s, constant age verification questions, and many many more). They also were extremely neurotic about many things, fairly blind to simple geography, grammar, and naive regarding 20th century US history, among other issues.
But I had a lot to learn, as well, and I was grateful to go with the flow and open up a huge trove of great music and music artists. San Francisco was a splendid venue to see many touring acts for fairly cheap (usually 20 dollars was the top price), and I broadened my horizons immensely. And I broadened my outlook on many things as well that I suppose many in my generation didn’t really experience or perhaps even understand. I was also more naive romantically than they were. They were far more “fluent” shall we say about sex and relationships (all of which appears to have reversed itself as they became parents and we have the MeToo nonsense and other anti-sex craziness being generated primarily by that generation. You should have heard them talk when they were younger!)
But what I never did really understand was what the beef was with boomers that they had. Culture of narcissism? Gen-X was just as narcissistic maybe even more so. It just never really made sense to me except as more of a “I hate my parents” kind of thing.
This is what I came to conclude. Johnny Gen-X had a beef with daddy and mommy (and auntie and uncle, etc.).
And that’s all I was left with save for these nonsense scenarios (described in my previous comment) regarding taking advantage of real estate and benefiting from the prosperity of an earlier time. And of course, that doesn’t make any real sense to anyone does it?
I’ve come to believe that boomer bashing itself is a generational marker for Gen-X. They can’t really explain it, but they sure do know.. They are, in fact, in the know. And only they know. Anyone outside of the Gen-X generation doesn’t know. “You can never know what I’m going through, Dad!” As she or he stomps up to their room and slams the door.
It makes no sense and I guess that’s just the way it is. Gen-X gonna bash because that’s how they came up. No other real reason,. They try to rationalize it with books about narcissism (by the way,, you’d have to be a pretty corrupt narcissist to write a whole book about it–or to even read a whole book about it) or with “theories” like Stacy Herbert about climbing up the real estate or job or whatever asset ladder and then taking the ladder away, which is obviously debunked by the enormous number of poor boomers around, then and now.
But there is a sinister aspect to this as emphasized by the original commenter regarding his mother and aunts: the idea that the boomers have it coming as they age and go into senility and care–that they should all just be snuffed in their old age. For reasons.
I’ve heard this sentiment voiced again and again. It’s another generational marker for Gen-X. Boomer hate. I speak against it, because it is literally insane–turning against another generation? For? Narcissism?
Look in the fucking mirror. And stop boomer bashing. it’s the same as race baiting, bashing homosexuals, etc., etc, etc. No diff. But you see it even in early Adam Sandler movies. The only thing he bashes for “comic” effect is older people. Guess it’s generational, but at heart, it appears the Gen-X has mommy and daddy issues that will never go away for them.
And I’ve even been seeing lately that they appear to be blaming boomers for parenting issues regarding younger generations. Those are your kids, Gen-X!!! Not ours. Years ago I used to have a button I wore occasionally. It applied to my parents. But it has a graphic of a mom and dad and the words: Don’t Blame Us! I thought it was funny and so true.
And it did put in perspective what many of us tend to do–at least while we are younger–to blame our parents for all of our current problems. It helped me to grow up.
I don’t see that growing up happening with Gen-X. I continue to see bashing going on and creation of these pulling up the ladder and culture of narcissism stories. And they are stories. Your parents did grow up in a different country really. And many act under those now non-existent morés and they dance to a previous style of music.
But just as I don’t hate my own parents and grandparents because they jive to Bing Crosby, I don’t see the point in hating my generation for jiving to The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. It would be beyond stupid if it were not for the “kill them in their old folks homes” scenarios I keep on seeing on these pages and other pages.
Gen-X fits the stereotype of Gen-X: neurotic, immature, hating the only group they are permitted to hate: older people. So, put up or shut up: come up with a coherent reason(s) for the hate. Or better yet, grow up and cut it out. I know I’m pissing in the wind. Because Gen-X got to hate. That’s just what they do and who they are.
I think we agree more than disagree. I found a lot to like, and to interest me in the boomer generation. My shelves are full of boomer authors, my speakers are full of boomer music, and my pop culture references — ironic or otherwise — are heavily weighted on the boomer side.
I’m not rejecting them or even really blaming them — I’m diagnosing a cultural sickness that first became obvious among the boomers (although you can see it in isolated examples even farther back), and took on even more progressively ominous characteristics in the generations that came out of the 70s, 80s and 90s.
The amoral kid who wants the boomers to die is both an inheritor of a generation gap mentality and a reaction to an overbearing moral pose, often but not always hypocritical, that saw its first major ‘flowering’ in the counterculture-obsessed 60s. The extremes get more extreme as the alienation becomes more prevalent.
It’s not “their problem,” it’s our problem, and our children’s problem. Nobody who makes their way in the modern world with any sufficiently reflective self-awareness can let themselves off the hook completely. But unfortunately honest self-awareness is one of the main casualties of this cultural trend.
I appreciate your thoughtful and eloquent reply.
I would posit that perhaps the reason you have a lot of boomer music is that a true revolution in popular music occurred in the 1960s and a bit beyond. Yeah, punk was a revolution too, the alt rock of the 90s and 90s was also and I love goth, but there was a ton of innovation and creation back then I think more so than those after.
In short, I am agreeing with you in that each era has its innovations and its mistakes (as seen much later). But those times were a time of experimentation and creativity and we had no idea of how things would work out or not work out. Just trying new things. Just throwing out new possibilities. It wasn’t amoral. It was exhilarating.
I personally think much of your explanation has much more to do with feminine ascendancy in the society and the rest of the world then it does with the boomers. They just happened to coincide.
But while the boomers are mortal and will fade and pass, the feminization of our civilization lives on.
I believe that Gen-X has misplace their blame.
But I still believe that they and we all best just get on with it and try to deal and fix it in 2021 and stop talking crap.
There were ALWAYS open borders, especially in 1965.
“just happened to coincide”
yeah it “just happened”
Boomers think the world circulates around their mind
lifetime infantile yet senile at the same time
Feminine? More like Childish
Boomers destroyed the chances for everyone who came after
greedy lifetime children
It makes perfect sense and summarizes the whole problem: Boomers stole everything from Gen X that should have manifested in the birthright… boomers ate the seed corn.
First they stole from their parents, then the next generations. Boomers have to be in the middle of everything, at all times. Constant attention seeking is the name of the game.
You can project your own Gen-X traits on any group you can think of. But let’s examine this:
Your generation thinks the world revolves around your mind.
Now in your 50s you’re still blaming someone else. Lifetime infantile and probably senile from all the drugs you took 25 years ago.
Your generation is too afraid of mommy who feminized you. You are both childish and effeminate.
Your generation has destroyed the chances for your kids and their kids. No one else but your generation. The older generations have had absolutely no adverse effect on any younger generation. None.
Your generations are greedy, forever children, whining and crying and blaming. Grow up then perhaps you’ll shut up.
But no, your grift is too addictive. Like a smack addict, blaming is your drug. Keeps you childish and infantile. Don’t be a bad little boy,. Mommy will have to spank you.
Except none of that even remotely rings true and sounds like a mentally ill delusional fantasy. My grift? Who am I grifting here? Nobody in “my generation” thinks like a Boomer, that particular option was not an option, we had to work and recover what they stole or destroyed, especially property and wealth.
Every prior generation handed down something positive to the next one, but the Boomers are first in recent history to wreck things in both directions. I’ve had to spend half a lifetime now reinventing the wheel because I’m always the oldest person I ever met, outside of people who were elderly at the time.
I saw the same cut off happen in Europe too, where elderly villagers were much better people and lived in the real world made from experience. Any generation that fits the “boomer” profile is self absorbed and channeled by unreality everywhere I have been.
The “anti boomer backlash” happened because the younger generations came along and grew up, it actually took people younger than me to wash the scales from my eyes.
TL:DR
All I could see was:
blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Get a job, grow up. get help, stop blaming others for your own defects.
Maybe your psych will give you a scrip for fentanyl.
That’s the optimistic view.
Again didn’t read, don’t care.
Is it cold down there in mommy’s basement?
A clarification:
By saying things about your mommy and living in her basement, I am being as kind as I could be to the mentally ill.
I am saying that the person could still be blaming the boomers for anything while simultaneously wishing his own mother to die, well there is no way this now 50 year old person could have a family a job or anything.
Any person who feels that way and is willing to express it and then keep on expressing it has to be either in some institution for the mentally ill or living in seclusion with his parents.
So I am coddling you.
I mean the real question is why do so many in your generation have this mental defect? You should be asking that. Of yourself.
I have my theories but you should be at the least curious: why am I so hateful blaming everyone?
You could help yourself that way. But still you have to attend group. Nurse Ratchet demands it
Dude.
Wake up.
Someone who came of age in 1972 stole NOTHING from a generation not born yet!!!!!!
What the fuck is wrong with you, you lunatic!???
Joe Boomer was 23 and bought a house in 1973. The house appreciated. Did Joe Boomer cause the appreciation? Of course not, you dipshit.
And exactly what did Joe Boomer steal from his parents? What on Earth are you talking about????
The only constant attention seeking in the name of an imaginary and nonexistent game that you made up in your own mind, is YOU. You are projecting some insane plot.
Get. A. Fucking. Grip.
Which is why God allows these demonic kikes to distribute the (((vax))). Time is up, and the wilful ignorant are allowed one last chance to wake up and reject evil. Literally a blue pill/red pill situation.
Considering how every person who takes the vax gets sick, I think this year will be extremely interesting.
