There hasn’t been news reporting in some time. Millenials are fucking assholes birthed by even bigger assholes (boomers) and willing to cough up individual freedoms and liberties for the sake of their bullshit pseudo religions. Someone said Gen X is the last savior of the US and that is true but damn near hopeless. As the last link to our silent generation parents that lived through the depression, ww2, Korean War, and Vietnam, were apparently the only generation that has the wisdom of second hand knowledge from the past. The boomers were too self centered (IE assholes) to listen to their greatest generation parents and instead tried to dispense of the solid society built out of ww2.

Pathetic, sad, and most unfortunate.

A bit dark but lots of truth in there ;)

@mell Thanks, corrected above.

I'm starting to believe the same thing. So much of what was "normal life" back in the day is met with blank stares (a.k.a. is this just the crazy oldster spouting off?) when I try to explain what this country was like when it was still (at least 50%) by the people and for the people.

We are living through not the end, but the beginning of the end. The end will see our grandchildren or great-grandchildren suffer the full consequences.

I had the pleasure of meeting a lot of the Greatest as a Teenager in Florida. 90% had a complete positive vibe, good people. Many of their kids were assholes. Some of the Silents were damned good but again, so few of them relative to the generation before and after them, like Gen X.

A lot of those Greatest Generation people had a really hard time when they were young.

I was reading Jackie Gleason's bio, and damn, his father burned all the pictures of himself and left, then his mother got a large carbuncle which Jackie lanced, but then his mother got septicemia and died. He was homeless for a bit before getting into standup comedy.

They're all like that: Kirk Douglas (son of a rag dealer), Charles Bronson (Coal Miner at 10 years old), etc.

Really amazing that these people grew up in absolute shit conditions, turned out better than many a spoiled brat.

Appreciation is the key difference.

Enervating luxuries, my man, enervating luxuries.

The idea about the Fremen from Dune being forced to grow up in the Deep Desert after Mau'dib brings water is on to something. Raise teens in the wilds chopping wood and shit, no electric from 12 until 18.

It is hard to say exactly when the beginning of the end started but normalization of trade with Communist China began in 1980. This seems like the beginning of the end for American manufacturing, and a country dependent on imports is a dependent country.

Don’t worry about your great grandchildren, the current generation won’t recognize their own country in a decades time. But the millennials probably will mostly cheer for the globalists new world order great reset tyranny.

Kirk Douglas would be a Republican today.

It kills me. I had so much respect for my great aunts and uncles. I loved talking to them and hearing what they had to say. I only know one millennial that has the same level of curiousity. It’s sad and I’ll go as far as to say, wrong. It’s funny...on a forum related to a hobby I pursue, there’s a guy I’ve interacted with over the past few years but only with hobby related stuff. Turns out he moved away from California about 5-6 years ago. He’s 8 years older than me putting him right on the intersection of the boomers and Gen x. He essentially had the same upbringing as I did and in similar suburbs of LA. And one of his first statements as to why he left California is because it’s not at all the same place he grew up in. This guy who I literally knew nothing about except that we engage in the same hobby....we have the exact same life experience and thoughts. And if wager were not the only ones.

The realization that the US mainstream media is corrupt was not a pleasant one. I’d be much happier with a strait forward media that reported the facts and events. The only thing I think I can do about it is rant about how dishonest they are. It’s bad enough that a very left leaning friend complained about a couple things Newsom did and also complained about our new DA, the extraordinarily evil George Gascon. She actually posted on social media about a couple news articles that were related that she thought was bs. She also didn’t argue when I said there was zero chance that 85% of LA County registered voters and 90% of OC voters voted in the presidential election, and she always argues with me.
In fact, she’s stopped commenting on politics altogether other than to frequently register outrage at Newsom and the LA County Board of supervisors.

Still I’m concerned I’ll just be viewed as the crazy conspiratorial old guy. I’m still in my 40’s so maybe not that old. Maybe.

Ha! It's a WONDERFUL one. I've known for 30 years that our media reports complete lies.

What the bitch of it is, is that you're more right if you're a "conspiratorial nujob" than if you're one of the sheep in the pasture repeating the propaganda of the pigs drowning out everybody else.

You think it's a BAD thing to realize that our "news" is just propaganda? Congratulations, you realize that Santa Claus isn't real. Oh the horror, to finally be an adult.

Most of our major "news" stories have the coincidental effect of making at least one industry richer.
Floyd trial: News business
Virus: Pharma
China/Iran: Military/industrial complex
Climate: Green businesses

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/04/nbc-news-deceptively-edits-bodycam-footage-viewers-dont-see-knife-makiyah-bryants-hand-moments-officer-shoots-dead-video/

NBC News deceptively edited police bodycam footage so their viewers wouldn’t see the knife in 15-year-old Ma’Kiyah Bryant’s hand moments before a Columbus officer shot her dead.

NBC also deceptively edited the 911 call to omit the part where the caller says a girl was “trying to stab us.”

Advertisement - story continues below

NBC anchor Lester Holt began the segment by showing a picture of a smiling Ma’Kiyah Bryant to make her look innocent.

Omitting the fact that the teen was wielding a large knife and attempting to stab someone is willful deception.

Whew, at least one honest title about the incident.

That's why we need to fight the future.

We must remember that the internet was supposed to enhance the flow of ideas, not be censored by San Fran Freakos with Liberal Arts Degrees in Multimedia Studies.

I loved hearing stories about WW2, the Great Depression, etc. from my grandparents.

Kids are educated with the perspective that everything old is bad (and EVIL!), everything new is good. Technology, "Social Change", etc.

Has anybody noticed that quite a few male Millennials don't know how to talk to guys? I mean shooting the breeze type shit. "I banged this broad in Bedford" "I got slammed against an old Ford at a Judas Priest concert by security and they took away our case"
