@Starprophet Here's some cheap foreign labor for you, gramps
@Starprophet @nomebullyyou
This makes me angry, I want to kill that nigger. I hope he was arrested.
@DrFell @Starprophet He was arrested iirc, this was on the news. Of course, with our Soros-selected antiWhite DAs everywhere, this nigger demon is probably out and beating up more people rn.
@Bakke completely void of souls
@Bakke @nomebullyyou Evil is real....
Once successful societies including religions that encourage people to be evil are real....
Both all too common in recorded history.
Can also happen with broken people. I'm too old for the cultural Baby Boomer phenomena to be very relevant to me, but my early Silent Generation parents have played out somewhat similar games with all the children they took responsibility for.
In some ways not as bad I suppose, except for myself who took a firm no way in hell stance ... but are all these "boomers" genuinely broken people? Or what?
Here I'm asking people to take a step back and try to figure out what the hell is going on. What created so many people like this?
@ThatWouldBeTelling @Bakke They fell in love with money and the material world and lost sight of what's truly valuable. "Everything has a price" is only true if your soul is already in possession of the father of lies imho.
@nomebullyyou @Bakke Yes, yes, but why them? You're only touching on the what.
Human nature is immutable, but other generations before them weren't so bad.
Possibilities I'll throw out:
Social Security, iconic of the general conceit the government will take care of you, vs. your children. That money ... it's fiat, can be rendered worthless overnight.
Should note there's issues with too many people trying to cash out retirement savings from financial to real estate all at once.
Still, there should be emotional bonds between parents and children. Thus all that about the "Me Generation."
Suspiciously coincides with the availability to civilians of antibiotics, the same year of the first Boomers.
What were the influences that made a difference in various critical periods of a person's life? (Roundabout way of wondering about the Jewish hand in all this.)
@ThatWouldBeTelling @Bakke To me it's simple: they had it too easy. Their parents went through the depression. They could have a white picket fence family life with a high school education. But at the same time they were led away from God and the fear of God. They weren't building grand cathedrals to worship God like generations before who had the same earthly ease and wealth. They were overstimulated with drugs and playboy and keeping up with the Joneses and birth control pills and feminism,etc
boomers never developed a method of understanding truth good or evil beyond "TV says so." everyone agreed that tv said a thing, therefore tv is true and what it says is good is good. the creation of a monoculture broadcast to everyone as real sucked their souls out and left them bereft of several mental tools everyone else in history had.
have you ever noticed how much boomers struggle to come up with any answers that haven't been fed to them by tv? how they always fall for even the most absurd AI images? the entire part of the brain meant to use reason and discernment to make a decision went entirely unused and atrophied. they never grew a method for figuring things out because they were kept in social harmony and universal agreement because of the TV. they don't have mental models of other people's feelings. they just copy what tv says.
they have no methods of "knowing." they can only repeat stories people told them.
but most boomers are just stupid selfish assholes who know their behavior is wrong, but they don't care, because the TV said it's fine.
@All_bonesJones @Bakke @nomebullyyou Not familiar with that theory of stages of development ... but if they never went through them, "they're trapped, permanently, at a preschooler's morality" I don't exactly have to be?
Here's another thought about TV: when a New Thing like that becomes big, a society may take some time to develop defenses against it.
I think I saw some of this in the 1970s when my family realized a lot, or perhaps an increasing amount of TV news and the like was wrong and evil.
Here helped by young age so I don't remember much of 1960s TV beyond cartoons, with parents for whom TV would have started to become big perhaps around the time they were in college or near the end of high school, that is, already morally developed.
Ah, should also focus on penetration of TV sets, I wouldn't be surprised if my younger parent's house was lagging the average for example. That one also had the pre-Vatican II church to learn moral values from.
OK, here's an even bigger thing: why the fuck did these boomers learn such values or lack thereof so much from TV vs. their "Greatest" Generation parents?? I sure think I learned much more of them from my early Silent Generation parents.
There's also the much discussed "did parents walk the walk?" which can destroy the effect of such teachings.
Like how I learned a whole lot by example, for example my father the businessman had clear lines he wouldn't cross. Also started teaching me and my siblings about hunting and gun safety at very young ages, as soon as we were old enough to follow him in the field.
As in, when was responsibility thrust onto generations. My father has no set age for any other hunting activity except stationary turtledove hunting when he was like a foot away, so for example he judged when we were ready to be handed a BB gun (under close supervision, but still...).
@All_bonesJones @Bakke @nomebullyyou @Ree @noyoushutthefuckupdad So that brings up another question: how did you young whippersnappers, immersed in a TV based culture, avoid these moral development traps??
Now, decades later, I realise how much brainwashing I saved myself from.
TV (and, later, social media) are the most addictive activities on the planet. put a glowing screen in front of a toddler, and it will consume them for life. boomers are the first victims.
I also blame lead in the paint and gasoline.
@All_bonesJones @Bakke @nomebullyyou "have you ever noticed how much boomers"
Nope, that's why I'm asking you young whippersnappers about them. Too old to have had much contact with them....
The TV thesis is a common one, but we need to look at timelines. Demographic boomers started being born in 1946, so when did TV sets and the big three networks become a common enough thing?
Also should make a case why TV is different than radio, which should be easy, like the latter requires a degree of imagination that TV and movies for that matter hand you on a platter.
Might also look for evolution of what movies were popular and when and how (((Hollywood))) broke free of moral codes.
Another thought: while too young to be ones themselves, what did the moral panic about "juvenile delinquency" in the 1950s influence them for the worst.
that is, if you show video footage of a person doing something and his peers reacting positively or negatively to it, then the human brain, as it is a social organ, internalizes the message "if i act that way i get the same result"
this is why it happened in the boomer era, colored tv is the important part
@All_bonesJones @Bakke @nomebullyyou Now that's an interesting claim.
Color TV penetration took a long time, plenty of TV shows in the 1960s were B&W, and I read back in the day the people making Star Trek which started in 1966 were careful use a standard physical optical filter for viewing stuff to see how what they were doing would come out on a B&W set.
If you're an Xer, how are you ignorant about Boomers? We've lived with and observed them lifelong.
@RoBu @All_bonesJones @Bakke @nomebullyyou "If you're an Xer, how are you ignorant about Boomers?"
Because I'm in the late demographic Baby Boom, so I adhere to Gen X infinitely more than Cultural Boomers. See my favorite image for the difference, I'm around Obama's age, all our Boomer presidents were born in 1946 (!!!: Clinton, W, and Trump).
There's been an attempt to define a "Generation Jones" for us but that didn't get anywhere.
But in any case, someone like me doesn't remember JFK as a live person, the draft was long over by the time I might have been called up, I only became a fan of the Beatles after they broke up, and that because I actually like a lot of their later music. Etc. etc.
The Boomers we're talking about were older and they just weren't in any of my social circles except I guess some cousins, children of older siblings of one parent....
And come to think of it, they were brutal, even to the point of lethality, that parent cut off visits with each other either quickly or immediately.... But I was too young enough to remember more than a few details.
Thus I'm asking about "why" details, I do accept the thesis although I wonder about distributions in the population. Like, how many didn't become evil; we're of course going to remember the evil a lot more clearly. Like I don't remember much detail about one younger family of the clan, mostly general warm and fuzzy feeling.
@RoBu @All_bonesJones @Bakke @nomebullyyou OK, another question about these evil Boomers we're discussing: how many of them were trusted to (help) take care of younger, physically vulnerable siblings? Watch them all the way to bottle feed for instance?
Or were trusted to do somewhat dangerous things in the kitchen? Like, at the same time my mother taught me how to brown ground beef on the stovetop, there's all sorts of ways that could have gone wrong from physical burns to loss of a key ingredient for supper.
Related to the BB gun thing, which later becomes a "when were you trusted to go out with your BB gun alone?"
@All_bonesJones @Bakke @RoBu @nomebullyyou @Ree OK, here's a reason TV could become so dominant: our ruling trash started a program to stop effectively teaching reading in 1930.
But these things move slowly, school systems in the Great Depression and WWII would for example take their time to replace their old basal readers with Dick and Jane and Their Running Dog Spot whole word lunacy.
Why Johnny Can't Read was therefore published in 1955, thus we can infer many Boomers just couldn't read (much), and there will be a range where some found it hard, wouldn't read for pleasure.
That said, university curricula for, and I quote, "book virgins" antedates alphas.
Mind you, Boomers were not a mistake in the slightest. Their demographic volume, televisional conditioning/brainwashing, and every avaricious, oblivious, destructive, anti-traditional, and parental peculiarity was deliberately, painstakingly contoured to maximize productivity and conformity while minimizing legitimate dissent and undesired conflict.
Many institutions and private organizations, and a few tribes engineered and benefited enormously from this project. You know the rest.
A solution to the Eternal Boomer
