Don't call out the real oppressors. But focus on the imaginary ones.

This is exactly what lefties relish. Divide the population based on identity politics.

If we are going to blame anyone it would be globalists. They come in all shapes and sizes and ages. There are boomer globalists and new 20 year old globalists being brainwashed in universities. They are the enemy. They seek the dismantling of our way of life and our country.

Well, I do believe that white people (I am one) have a right to survive. There are those who are actively trying to destroy us.

But at the same time, American values - and western culture in general - is something that can cross racial and religious lines - and is worth preserving and promoting.

You have fallen for the MSM propaganda. In a few more generations, sheeple will say things like "Non-Transgenders don't exist, they aren't a race or ethnic group."

We have a steep uphill battle because of your generation. That's not even debatable. I'm not even asking for help or for your generation to fix the issues. All I'm asking is for some goddamn empathy because we never even had a fighting chance to live as well as you did.

Boomers did what they believed was the right thing to do; supporting minority “rights”, being kind to people who were poor or from other countries, “letting” women have more “choice.”

They aren’t some generation of psychopaths. They did what everyone else in human history has done, lived within what their culture deemed as “good.” The problem was that the culture itself was co-opted by the real psychopaths, something that was only possible with the rise of mass media. Didn’t help that the Boomers were raised in relative peacetime conditions.

Can you honestly say Millennials are any better? If anything, we’re worse. The Boomers had no conception of what would happen because of their ideas - theories sure, but no actual experience, which is the only thing people really respond to. We know what’s happened and we can see now where this is going but so many of us continue to follow their programming.

Way to do what the left does - divide us by race or gender or age. It's like a leftist came in here with the intention to get us to attack each other.

The reality is that the majority of boomers voted for Trump and nationalism.

Voters younger than age 45 picked Clinton over Trump, 52 percent to 40 percent. Their numbers simply were not large enough to overwhelm the preferences of those 45 and older, who went for Trump 53 percent to 44 percent.

that is harmful to

What do these groups do in the countries they originate from? Are they peaceful and law abiding towards their own ethnic groups, or do they form lynch mobs beat bus drivers to death, put people in tires and set them on fire?

Thinking it is all about race is where you lose sight that some cultures are barbaric and barely above the stone age in terms of reigning in violence.
America was an exception - where people were held accountable for violence.

That changed. When there are no consequences for crime, it will skyrocket. That this occurs more frequently in cultures that have little historic mores prohibiting it is not surprising.

Saying it is all about race is like saying math is all about division. Which is what you and OP are trying to do here - divide people.

There is a subset of Jews that deliberately did this. Other people and groups were involved as well, including radicalized elements of the Catholic Church (to my own personal disappointment), but a lot of it was driven by Jews. Read Radical Son sometime; David Horowitz talks about this in depth.

NotAPuma -1 points ago +3 / -4

It depends. There is about 12 different types of Jews. The ones who, ignorant people like yourself, that believe Jews run the banks (I always see Rothschild, Soros, thrown around but that's just 2), are pretty much Devil Worshipping Jews, and only really use the Word "Jew", for Victimhood Points.

UnemployedMarx 0 points ago +5 / -5

I don't disagree with you on that. When I say Jew, I don't mean people who worship God but not Jesus, I mean people with a Jewish ethnicity. I do believe there is a genetic predisposition for Jewish people toward choosing paths which lead to the degradation of societies they are in. Even if I'm wrong about that, going after the ethnic Jews again, has the correlative factor to Finance/Journalists/Academics who if we outed, our society would be much better off.

What have you done for this country? We created businesses, creating jobs allowing your generation to grow and develop families.

We invested in business through stocks again creating jobs. We lived through gas lines and interest rates of 25% to buy a car, yet we still managed to get by.

Now we’re retired and drawing on the money we saved and invested instead of looking for handouts and blaming others for our victim hood.

KYMAGApatriot1 1 point ago +2 / -1

The truth hurts, doesn’t it. Brookes is spot on. Kids in the past 25 years or so never had it so good. When I did essays in college, I had to go to the library (Google it to find out what library means). Didn’t have cell phones, internet or social media. And our generation was better off for it. When I wanted to speak to people, I either picked up the phone and actually talked to them, or else I drove to visit with them. We never had to worry about “text neck” because we weren’t frickin’ glued to some electronic device we are addicted to. We jumped rope and played tag for free, and didn’t play expensive addictive and violent video games. We never had to worry about some nut coming through the school shooting the place up. Most of us had jobs in the summer and after school. And if you disrespected a teacher you were sent to the principal’s office. And it wasn’t for a nice chat. I for one think we had it better than any other generation.

Boomers forming and supporting major corporations that suck the wealth out of the rest of us

Boomers withholding knowledge and information from the following generations

Boomers and their helicopter parenting causing risk adverse kids ( while they were free to roam their whole lives)

Boomers and their fake news television shows

Boomers and their cronyism stealing opportunities from other generations just so they can have more.

I can't get boomers to wake up because they're enjoying their retirement now. They're sucking up the social security funds and don't want to rock that boat.

How old are you? The reason SS is upside down is pols steal from it every chance they get. It is their pet slush fund and just kick the can down the road

The fact that math is political because of your age is part of why we're in this mess. You get way more from ss than you ever pay in. That's just the math. And ss is already insolvent. That's also just the math. At some point you have to realize you're getting paid out with money borrowed from your great grandchildren.

No, it was upside down from day one by design. Its a pyramid scheme.

Look up who the first recipient of s.s. was. Look up how much she contributed vs how much she collected.

Then greedy boomers made it worse by voting for the politicians who stole the money going into s.s. to pay for other benefits they didn't want to pay for.

Why would I need to read an entire book about it?

S.S. was designed to start at age 65, when at the time, the average life expectancy was 63. Today boomers still start collecting at 65 but they live to be 80.

S.S. was screwed from its very first recipient onwards.

On January 31, 1940, the first monthly retirement check was issued to Ida May Fuller of Ludlow, Vermont, in the amount of $22.54. Miss Fuller, a Legal Secretary, retired in November 1939. She started collecting benefits in January 1940 at age 65 and lived to be 100 years old, dying in 1975.

Ida May Fuller worked for three years under the Social Security program. The accumulated taxes on her salary during those three years was a total of $24.75. Her initial monthly check was $22.54. During her lifetime she collected a total of $22,888.92 in Social Security benefits.

SS requires new generations to generate enough input into the system to be able to pay out to the previous generations. This has been known since it was created. I'm not talking about the raiding of the funds by politicians where they shoved an IOU into the system. Even if that never happened it would still not have the supported funds to keep it going, at least not without maintaining a balanced population which has not happened. The fact that you're on this website would make it clear that you're not one of the boomers I'm referring to. I'm talking about the boomers who just want to sit back and watch the world fall because they don't have to care anymore. So as much as boomers deserve their money so do the younger generations who have been fucked over through no fault of their own.

Wow. Who knew me stating that I'm trying to wake up boomers that I know personally as evidenced by my use of >>I<< in my original comment to realize the shitty situation at hand but who literally do not want to rock the boat because they're set for life... then pointing out the reality of the situation and stating very clearly that it was not their fault but the fault of a shitty retirement system that locks people into this position... to which you suddenly decided to respond to me as a personal attack... apparently that makes me an asshole in victim-hood. Just, wow. And to call me a selfish ignorant POS... oh the irony. If you're a boomer, you're doing a bang up job proving the OP's assertions. Way to go.

Is funny to see all these upset boomers here trying to deflect and shift the blame back on you when just yesterday I saw top comment of them shitting all over millennials and Gen Z while playing the boomer victim card as usual. Take some responsibility boomers and stop blaming your own fucking children for your problems, is pathetic.
