Touché on the tranny / gender ideology virus.Good response, but that pervasive strain was around before the boomers and it's even more virulent and outright psychotic among the younger generations. Americans have always been known for their naivete and gullibility, especially when indoctrinated non-stop by subtle and not so subtle propaganda techniques that have been developed and fine-tuned for a hundred years, or since the advent of moving pictures and the advertising industry. Freud's nephew Edward Bernays laid out the basic agenda and game plan long ago. And if the boomers are afflicted by the Judeo-Christian virus, what do you say about a young generation that within the past decade, about a quarter or so of its members were persuaded to believe they were trans and/or "gender fluid"?
The generation bashing is senseless, a phenomenon that never occurred on the right previously. But I'm just venting, as bashing the boomers as a collective has become a default position ritually affirmed by many of the based young so frequently that it's not going to go away any time soon. (I don't even know or care what the younger generations are called or when one supposedly ended and the next one started).
Does someone born in 1946, the first year of the baby boom, have different values than someone born in 1945? Does someone born in 1964, the last year of the baby boom, differ in any meaningful way from someone born in 1965 or even 1975? It's the same thing with the obsession about decades. When someone says "the 1960s" the same images and behaviors are summoned and shown. Woodstock, hippies, anti-war protests, black power marches, early "women's lib" demonstrations, etc. In reality the America of 1960 culturally was radically different than the America of 1969.
Part of the awakening taking place is realizing that we have been lied to, continuously, and about just about everything. That includes the boomers, the "greatest generation" that marched off to kill fellow Europeans by the millions, and today's younger generations. We've all been victimized, which is why I hope the generation bashing eventually recedes and ends as Whites everywhere need to have empathy and compassion for each other.
Your last paragraph is especially profound. Like!
