With the caveat that I realize JHK understands this, I wanted to make the case that not all Boomers went along for the ride. Also, the Internet - while a double-edged sword - can take much of the credit for awakening most of us from the Deep State brainwashing machine as we now have access to a plethora of news/podcasts and there now exists the opportunity for an immediate outcry in opposition should someone attempt to set up a false narrative. - After all, those of us who have been here for six+ decades actually know first-hand things like how a normal sky looks, etc., and have observed how the sociopaths/psychopaths have come out more and more brazenly into the open with each passing year. Many of us sincerely attempt to do what we can so as not to bankrupt future generations.

There are lots of good boomers. I'm on the cusp, and have been disgusted with many establishment boomers but there are also many many good ones who have not been hypocritical virtue-signaling assholes.

Thank you. I am a boomer (mid seventies) And I didn't advertently play their game until retirement when I took a job as a college instructor teaching aquaculture. I quit in disgust after teaching two semesters. What a bunch of phonies our academics are. I spent my life working different production jobs as the Canadian governments shut them down one after another. Being versatile and having a love of working with my hands kept our heads out of the water. I hope the whole works of them lose everything. They'd die if they had to do a day's work. Come to think of it that would make me cry either. Our countries were built on the backs of the hard working people of this country, the ones they sent off to die in every fabricated war they could invent. Never forget their sacrifices. Blisters and callouses will rebuild our countries.

You're spot on. I spent 5 years working at a community college in CA and yeah they were all phonies, with a bloated administration sucking up all the $$. The profs were virtue-signaling cowards. It was unbearable when covid hit, so that's when I left.

I am a Boomer who stayed home and raised three children. At 76 I have watched and seen it all. The destruction of our towns by Wal-Marts, 7-Elevens, magnificent miles of car dealerships, & every chain store & fast food restaurant you can name … so every town looks exactly the same w/ all small businesses & exceptionalism ruined. I’ve watched the blue skies & puffy clouds disappear to dreary, gray sameness day after day. I’ve watched the beauty of lovely architecture, gorgeous fields & neighborhoods of trees, shrubs, & bushes disappear into concrete jungles with hideous flat square buildings that are depressing to look at. And murder to the human soul. I’ve watched people go from gloves, dresses, suits & heels on the airplanes to pajamas & bed head. I’ve watched schools go from disciplined formal teaching, w/ plenty of recess & lunch ladies cooking the meals to social engineering, chaos, unlimited days off, no recess & fattening, processed garbage for food.

I could go on & on. “They” have destroyed everything they possibly could. They ruined beauty in every way. They took everything away that gave life meaning. If it weren’t for my children and my faith in God I probably would not be here. So, the Boomers may be responsible but I don’t know what we could do to stop them. Just as I don’t know how to stop the unhinged, repulsive people doing everything in their power to destroy Trump. Voting in my Blue town is an exercise in futility, but I do it. And I pray.

I couldn't have said it better, Mary!

Well said - this is my exact take on what they've done to towns and cities since the 1970s. It's horrific. And all we really CAN do is pray, and I think that's powerful and important. I honestly don't see any of that reversing in my lifetime and I've come to accept that. So I moved somewhere that still has lots of natural beauty (for now - although the Woke Jacobin Commies are working on destroying it and making it another concrete "info center"), and if that disappears, I'll keep moving.

Spot on Mary. May I translate what you said into “society, guided by grabberment, has become a leaking bag of kitchen garbage…”

I’m 10 years younger and could have written this. The tragedy is I suspect most people under the age of 30 have no idea what they’ve lost so they won’t do a thing to try to get it back. I don’t know what’s worse - the “crudscape” or the relentless aerial spraying. It’s like something opened the gates of Hell in the early 70s.

As an American Manufacturing Professional, I never bought into any of the bullshit pedaled by traitors intent on control. I was a Pacesetter anywhere I ever worked and I remain a Pacesetter to this day when it comes to "How It's Made". If you want something Made right, bring it to us. We will make your ideas real fast at www.wallisimagineering.com In the past year, we made over 5.5 million parts used to assemble GM car condenser coils that are part of the GM car air conditioning system. The customer redesigned the part making them easier to make so they can make them themselves. New opportunities are presenting themselves to replace that work with something else. Send us your most challenging parts to stamp, we will figure out the rest. ##ResumeIndependenceOrExpectToDieCommunist

Mr. Wallis, I copied your comment and sent it to a small business owner who is in the early stages of growth and expansion, building onto his manufacturing facility. He will likely need some parts engineered. I hope you two get together. You sound like a man after his own heart.

Yes, the Capitalist scum used to rage about what they called "patriotic capitalism" in the far East. The East Asians never bought the idea that the public and private spheres could be kept apart and that the private sphere could do whatever it wanted, the nation be damned. They were wiser than we were, apart from the scourge of Maoism that sought to destroy the private sphere completely. That's just as crazy as trying to destroy the public sphere like the Libertarians want.

Trade is great but what can be made in the nation should be made in the nation. More power to you.

I am a New Zealand Boomer and one of the most aggressive and active against the bioweapon. Active enough to provoke bank cancellations and interest from the low level NZ security service

Congratulations, and thank you, Paul. It was painful to watch from afar what happened to NZ.

I, too, notice a divide between breeders and the childless boomers. Those of us with offspring really care HARD about the future world we bequeath to following generations. Materialist/Nihilists, on the other hand, not so much. Blessings to you.
