Outstanding!! I've had the same line of conversation with Boomers of late who themselves weren't set up to fail and cause failure to launch while forgetting what they taught you. At the end of the day they revert to juvenile behaviors and shinny things are more welcome to them than establishing a healthy family and community as a whole and they, not millenials are the real spoiled brats who refuse to acknowledge their own behavior and decisions that got millenials where they are and not talking about the realities of the state of affairs and the economy and how they either want to be isolated and alone or cherished, well cared for and working together for the good of the family is supposed to be a hallmark of the prodigal parable to begin with when it's broken down. Great article. I had to send this in screenshots to my Dad and FIL to let them see it's not just me talking about what you did here way more eloquently than I have been able to. Hopefully that another man is talking about it now will help. Thank you for putting this out!!
There bas never been a moment in my 72 years when there were MORE opportunities than now. The problem is the younger generation has been ‘demoralized’ to the extent they feel like it will be impossible for them to create a good life without massive help. This is simply not true. Now is an amazing moment in history.
I've gotta give kudos to the elders in the comments who are in the loop and reading Raw Egg Nationalist. It's easy to hate on boomers, even for boomers to hate on boomers from my experience, but there's a lot more of them that are aware of the programming and have been fighting it for much longer than many of us have been born as well.
"Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth." Ephesians 6:2-3.
We would do well to reckon with what this commandment really means for us on both an individual and communal level. For those us may not have good elders in their lives, which are many unfortunately, to be sure, it would do well to seek out those elders who do care for the young people around them--they exist. Many have experience, connections, possessions, etc. that they have accumulated but have no one to leave it to and would love to give a leg up to a young person. As we all fight to develop high trust communities, hopefully we will find each other and build a greater legacy than we could ever do out on our meagre own.
I am a dreaded ‘boomer’. Put my daughter thru school to become an RN. She had so many grants that when she graduated I gave her the $30k remaining in her 529. She married just out of college. Great kid but he came out of same college with $40k in debt. They both secured good jobs. I paid off his college debt and gifted them $20k to buy a house, which they did at 24-years old. I am literally 3 hours away and see them regularly. My only daughter will inherit more than $2M when my wife and I croak. My point, the author is right in his outline and all dreaded boomers should follow suit.
there will never be wisdom coming from boomers. they got dumber as they got older. so forget that. if you want to know how to destroy the most perfectly functioning country ever created ask a boomer. that is the only "wisdom" they can convey
I'm GenX. My divorced Boomer father has no wisdom to impart, and is way too selfish and narcissistic to sacrifice anything for his family. I wouldn't want him imparting anything to my children. Boomers have collectively screwed things up so much I think most just need to permanently go away.
What too many people have lost the understanding of is that society, as a whole, going to shit by no stretch of the imagination implies that you can't, as an individual, with a small amount of grit and determination, create a full life for you and your family.
how are you to have a close society when the boomers have taken the white race from 90% to 58%. 450 languages spoke in NYC. then when you point it out to them they savagely defend the destruction they caused. like outing a gay man in the 50's. they destroyed every foundation the country was founded on

best thing boomers can do is to hang themselves. the most destructive generation in world history and that is the way it will go down
