Main Character Syndrome - by Vox Day - The Boomers haven't finished changing the world yet

 This is a sobering reminder that the Boomers haven’t finished increasing the difficulty setting for the succeeding generations.

The reality of the boomer phenomena is that they are the main characters of history and we just have to wait our turn. Every decision made for the past 60 years was at the behest of maximizing the boomer experience. In their time America had such unprecedented wealth that there were literally no wrong decisions, they could only fail upwards......


....When their kids stopped having children what did they do? They imported endless hordes of mindless drones to work below market wages to keep the economy going.

When a housing crisis caused by overlending to retards and immigrants (done to maximize boomer stock value) threatened the security of the banks managing their portfolios what did they do? They bailed the banks out.....

The tragedy of the boomer is that they have literally no vision beyond themselves.

No other generation was able to rig the world in a way they did.

No other generation holds the wealth of nations in the palms of their hands, and what will they do with it? They will spend every cent on health and hospice care so they can drag themselves by cane and IV bag onto their 30th cruise before dying as they recite the mantra of their time “I was at woodstock...”

“Data from the Federal Reserve highlights that when the average Boomer household turned 35 years old, the generation already controlled 21% of all U.S. wealth. For context, Millennials owned just 3% of the nation’s wealth at that exact same age milestone.”.....

...That’s the situation with which we’re faced. There is nothing we can do about what happened in the past. But what we can do, and what we should do, is reject every value, every assumption, and every belief that the Boomers bought into, and with which they devastated both American society and Western civilization.

We can’t fix or bring back the world that they changed, but we can rebuild what’s left into something that approximates it. This will involve rejecting GenX apathy and nihilism, Millennial neo-boomerisms, GenZ sensitivity, and returning to a Depression-era mindset.

And it can definitely be done.
