Re: Who Killed the Left?
I don't think it stems from the differences in generations. I just think it's more strongly correlated to the boomer/millennial line. It was in the 1960s that this stuff really made its way into our culture, infecting the boomers most potently. It's no wonder that the children of boomers (millennials) are also more susceptible to it.
Plenty of people in Gen X have fallen for it too. It's not that it comes from the boomers in particular. It's just more prevalent there.
And when it comes to running the parties.. yeah.. you have to realize that boomers and millennials together are a huge demographic force that will only really be overcome when boomers die and Gen X/Gen Z are able to establish their own stranglehold (probably over the GOP, but lots of other possibilities exist).
I look at this from different dimensions too. It's urban versus rural as much as generational. In so many metrics, our nation is sort of dividing like a cell.

Yea, I always find it odd that anyone whose side advocates for gun control and generally doesn't have guns would try to go the political violence route.Martin Hash wrote:I keep telling you the secret of SJW/Post-Modernism and you keep trying to assign generational motives.Speaker to Animals wrote:It's boomers running it and the base is the children of boomers (millennials).
The democratic party is, in part, indicative of the cancer that was injected into our nation in the 1960s, first affecting the boomer generation. It's not as potent in the Gen X and Gen Z line, but still present.
I was talking to a high school kid in my neighborhood yesterday who wants to get a commission via ROTC. These children of Gen X are really, really red-pilled, man. They are so far ahead of the game compared to where we were at their age it's crazy.
Dems are the Party of the-enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend allies, where OWGs are the "enemy." At the extreme end, they're burn-it-all-down-and-see-what-happens types who are under the misimpression that THEY will be the phoenix. But anybody with any self-awareness would know that another group will rise from the ashes and they have guns.
I think it will end with gas chambers if political violence becomes a thing in this country. And it won't be the people with guns going inside. Either way, an increase in political violence ends in tragedy for all of us.

The left is not dead. It only smells funny.

Yeah those kids are, some are classified as Millenials, some Gen Z. Gen Xers grew up cynical and awake, they passed that on to their kids.Speaker to Animals wrote:It's boomers running it and the base is the children of boomers (millennials).

I have mixed feelings with Boomers, I have many great friends who are Boomers, they resemble nothing of the stereotypical protest Boomer.

Indeed. This post I just quoted will be funny after the Midterms. After Trump's reelection and a GOP supermajority, it's going to be hilarious.
