>>540207922>living in the Eighties 2.0 in terms of plastic, materialistic, conformist bullshit, maybe even worse?that's an interesting take. i graduated from high school in 1985, so maybe we're around the same age, and it sounds like you're referring to that awful period when it seemed like the only way you could have a good life was if you made a lot of money as a greedy stock broker and drove a bimmer. this country was on a horrible trajectory and we luckily broke free of it and managed to get married and have children and taught them not to worship money the way previous generations did. but now an even grosser version of that 80's mentality is back: the kardashians, the e-thots, the influencers...all the snobby bad kids from those 80's movies: they have the power, the money and the looks. we need something to give kids hope these days, like we had in the 80's. i don't know what it was exactly. for me, it was going off to college and no longer watching tv every day...and finding alternative music on the college radio station. stuff like that. maybe back then it had to do with breaking free of the mainstream programming. kinda like apple's 1984 ad for their yet-to-come macintosh computer. maybe today's kids need to just turn off the mainstream media that is *programming* them the same way our favorite tv shows and top ten radio stations did in the 80's. i remember back then it felt refreshing (like breathing new, fresh air for the first time). maybe kids really do need to "touch grass". and not just once and then return to the programming. like, literally touch grass and never touch buttons again. i don't know. but i hope.
>>540273225So...you gonna get a job or....?
Niggers are subhumans and the fact that our government chooses to help them over strong White families should tell you everything you need to know
>>540273225Yep get fucked boomkikes
>>540273225
>>540273225i dont think you understand the rage i keep insideyou think i can stand and stock shelves in a convenience store at this point? i couldnt even sit in an AC office to myself with nobody looking over my shoulder pretending to work it for 8 hours (and doing damn good work in the hour or two i did)fuck your niggerboomerjewwoman world
>>540273225Trouble w/ur suggestion is that technology is part of life now. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but you may as well ask people to give up ovens or spoons. No way.
>>540273370this nigger upbe
Im so happy Gen Z ia just refusing to participate at scale
>>540273581yeah, that's a good point. it would take exponentially more effort to unplug today than it did back then, since the media i mentioned (tv, music, movies) was not an *integral* part of our lives. although, it *did* kind of define us. eg: you could tell what tribes people were in by the way they dressed, which was influenced by the things we watched and listened to. but yeah, today, it would be more difficult. not impossible. but definitely not something that everyone can do.
>>540273639EXCUSE ME WHAT U JUS SAY?
>>540273225>>540273312>the fact that our government chooses to help them over strong White families should tell you everything you need to knowthis. The outright sham and subversion on a massive international scale is staggering to the average normie mind. You're telling this generation, there is a forced assimilation going on and nations within nations like in Michigan, Minnesota and New Jersey where their lineage is supported by their tax dollars- where from their birth they are given all the free financial handouts and free university- while they have to struggle from nothing? It's all bullshit how Tyrone gets a free pass to his college of choosing, when everyone else has to get in by merit. It's all fake and gay.>we need something to give kids hope these dayswithout truth and justice, there is no hope. It's all appeasement with lies and deceit otherwise. No one will be truly happy like that.>maybe back then it had to do with breaking free of the mainstream programmingThis generation already does this. There are enclaves on Tiktok, IG and Discord of all places. They can already see through the bullshit. They are far disconnected from the Millenial culture of the past. They don't care for their celebrities and movies or music. They want genuine art and expression.>maybe kids really do need to "touch grass"that is exactly how that meme came to be. Atleast there is now an awareness of something deeply broken in the world society today. There is discussion about the lack of "Third Spaces" in the USA. Things like taking a "digital hiatus" also became a trend. I've seen people so engrossed about posting on their social media that they stopped experiencing things that is right in front of their face. It's incredibly terrifying.

>>540273225Go parry you fucking loser geeks, because vidya memories aren't real life.https://youtu.be/TxrwImCJCqkpFw5IE4ZgBd9Qhnf
>>540274663>There is discussion about the lack of "Third Spaces" in the USAhmmm, yeah, we had malls, and we used to play outside on our streets or ride our bikes into town to look for stuff to do. sometimes it was boring because we couldn't find anything, but at least we were outside, interacting with the world.when i tried to think of third spaces nowadays, the first thought that came to mind was coffee shops, since i tend to be able to meet people there. but, for the most part, people are there to either get work done (and so are absorbed in their computers) or get their caffeine (so, in and out in 5 mins). if anyone is just lazing about doing nothing, they are on their phones, doomscrolling. so, yeah, even coffee shops don't count. also, it seems like people are just *so busy* these days, and so they don't have time to just hang out and chill and see what happens.
>>540273225The term "Generation X" uses an "X" to represent an unknown quantity and a deliberate resistance to being defined. Rather than receiving a descriptive or event-driven name like the "Baby Boomers," this cohort was labeled with a mathematical variable symbolizing an unnamed, elusive, and counter-cultural demographic.X was a nameless place-holder, intended to be temporary until we chose what we wanted to do with ourselves and that defining moment still hadn't happened by the time Gen-y came into being. Younger generations try to roll us in with the boomers, based on assumptions stemming from the lack of X being defined. In reality we crashed the system, we would not, could not ,did not, become our parents. We saw what had happened to them first hand, and even tried to break that programming, to snap them out of it, but it was futile. boomers are boomers
>>540276779>X was a nameless place-holderIt's generation eXtreme to you zoomer retard that doesn't know shit.
>>540273225A lot of people said the same sort of things about my generation (millennial), worried about the effects of being raised on Barney/Lamb Chops, Disney, MTV and vidya games, they didn’t even start to worry about what the fuck we were doing on the Internet until the mid 00’s. We turned out alright, although basically all of us were in a major hurry to GTFO from our parents home, unlike zoomers, who seem to have more of a “friends” than “parental figure” type of relationship with their parents.
I mean it's pretty simpleThey realize (correctly) that life ends at 21 and there's no point in doing anything afterwards, even if you've likely got another 70 years to go. So instead of offing themselves they just lie down and wait for life to do it
>>540277208Life is supposed to fucking begin at 21(well, in my day you were kicked out at 18, even if willing to pay rent), the experience of renting a place with one or two friends, then slowly getting better jobs, gfs, then your own places(probably still renting), the pains and gains of growing into your own shoes, discovering who you are when you’re not under your parents thumb, becoming a chemically and financially stable adult. It’s not about what you own, despite the signature I’ve seen many boomers use on forums: “whoever has the most stuff when they die, wins”It’s about just getting out there and living life, experiencing it, seeing things you’ve never seen and meeting people you’ve never met. Don’t let a figment of our collective imagination(money) get in the way of your happiness while you have sovereignty over your physical form and mind.
>>540277208At least if you want to lay in bed all day, it’s easy to get 3 hots and a cot with basic cable, access to books, vidya, and Internet. If you’re in for life, there’s no need to worry about trying to get 2 for 1 by being on work detail, so other than headcount and meal time, it’s like adult day care, you’re free to do whatever you want in the confines of your pod/block and cell. Oh, they even give you time outside if you want it, like an hour per day.
>>540276779>>540277100our name came from the book, not the band
>>540277474>>540277620nigger wtf was the purpose of your comment. the whole reason we're in this mess is because we're economically castrated, so life does effectively end at 21. lord knows the women are busted as fuck after college anyways. a half baked hell experience where everyone is a decrepit fat wrinkly white degenerate or just fucking brown.
There were 4 boomer presidents, before the silent generation got their first president, which was Biden. Biden was older, than 4 of the 5 president who came before him. With Trumps re-election all 4 boomer presidents had 2 terms in office. Gen X is underrepresented in CongressBoomers need to be retired, impeached, and voted out, but especially the 80+ year olds.
Congress voted for obamacare which gave congress themselves practically free healthcareGoogle will try 6 ways from Sunday to hide this fact. You have to be very clever with your query to get an hones answer. If you ask does congress get free healthcare?Google responds this is a conspiracy theory, and outright lie, Members of congress pay for insurance like everyone else. Which is not even a half truth. Congress has their own private DC obamacare plan and taxpayers pay 75% of their premiums. They get organ transplants etc. Again if you don't ask the right question Google will tell you that they pay premiums like everyone else.
