but I actually got everything I ever wanted by slacking, just in a very specific way

slacking on the "save the world from itself" track, of course, because that's a fools errand

but I was very dedicated to the central narrative of boy meets girl, boy & girl live happily ever after

once you find the mate, then everything else falls into place

because Millennials don't mate, they have to distract themselves with an utopian messianic complex

Boomers & Echo Boomers have the same delusional messianic complex about saving the world from itself

Generation X is the rational silent generation in between, who just got on with their own lives instead

I 100% agree with this!

it's the Boomers who called us "Slackers"

what they meant was we refused to join their Woodstock Hippie communist crusade to save the world

that was my Boomer mother,

she wanted me to be a revolutionary or some shit

I was like get real, you crazy dingbat

luckily I had the Silent Generation father who said never mind all that shit, just get a job and find a wife

Best advice out there. Control what you can in your personal world for personal gain. You and I are the worst people in the world, we found wives and worked for our future. Self reliance is part of us. Unlike the millennials who think living single is the answer and relying on Big Daddy government to set their future for them. Self reliance is something millennials think that is beneath them.

my father said to me, son, the guy who goes home at the end of the night with the beautiful girl, is the winner

he was a Southern California jock, everything was a competition, winning was the only way to be happy

a fool's errand was just a river of tears, no way to win, not worth playing those games

Anyway, this has been a lot of fun, but Sunday is supposed to be one of my free-reading days, and you goddamn Gen Xers are distracting me with your nonsense!

We accept your concession speech...

And the trophy goes to Gen X.

The throat punch landed here.

Good sparring session boys.

Very entertaining.

Now lets join forces and take down those Wokesters...

They span the continuum from Boomers to Gen Z or I gen... or whatever we are calling the puppies these days....

Oh wait... is that me being messianic again... I'm betraying my Gen X lineage...

Don't worry... I'm slacking at being messianic.

I'm not seeking to lionize Generation X as if we are particularly virtuous

virtue signalling is a Millennial thing

I think we are who they said we were, Fast Times at Ridgemont High to Ferris Bueller's Day Off

we simply wear that as a badge of honour

the main difference between us and the Millennials, is that we like ourselves, while they are full of self loathing

nobody hates on the Millennials more than the Millennials themselves

it's a hive mind, which has become factionalized into tribes, so then turns in on itself

We are Fast Times, we are Ferris Bueller

We are Animal House and the Breakfast Club


We are the Clash and the Cure

We are U2 and Aerosmith

We are Michael Jackson and we are Duran Duran

We are MuchMusic and David Bowie killed the Radio Star.


We are Gilligans Island, Dukes of Hazard, Welcome Back Cotter and the Love Boat

We are the Cosby Show and Magnum PI....

We are the last half of the MASH series and we are Roots

We watched Different Strokes and we knew what Willis was "talkin' bout".


We are David Letterman and we are Arsinio Hall

We are Robin Williams and Eddie Murphy


We are the last to play Pinball and the first to play PacMan

We are Star Wars and Star Trek Next Gen

We are Nintendo and Commodore 64

We didn't get the internet until University... but we were the first to figure it out.


We are G-Force and we are Super Friend

We are the best comic books that are now the best Super Hero movies

And we were the youngest to watch the Original SuperMan motion picture.


We are Gen X

And we don't toot our own horn too much....

So Fuck off if you don't like it.

We like ourselves plenty enough without your approval.

Responding to Smitty on Boomers calling us Slackers.

Millennials were supposed to be the next socialist gen, but Millennials are populists, 45% voted for Trump in 16, and likely over 50% in 2020. They are populists because the globohomo central planning fucked them.

Now I see the same boomers saying Zoomers are the future, leaving out the millennials.

Cultural Marxism is a Communist take over by the elites

socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor

I do find Generation X to be somewhat more inclined to critical thought

just because we are not joiners, we rebelled against the Woodstock rebellion

so we tend to be more skeptical, we see Jonestown in every cult

whereas both Boomers & Echo Boomers seem to be more inclined to drink the kool aid

in the case of the Millennials, it's desperation, they want to give the red pill back, they want the blue pill now

put them back in the Matrix, they don't want to know the bleak truth anymore, they've had enough of that

These posts are gold.

Jonestown in every cult.

We invented the phrase "don't drink the Koolaid".

Which was reinforced by the fact that Kool-Aid was a terrible beverage foisted on us by lazy latch key parents.
