Do you see yourself bashing the younger generation as you get older?

[Spicoli]

Actually yes though honestly it could be me becoming more of a cynical arsehole as much as the kids today being spoiled self concerned sheltered and soft little techno twats I think it may be common for every aging generation to look at the current with a smirk and a shake of the head at the very least. We're not superior, just seen more and traveled longer. Literally one hour ago I had a 20 yr old tech come to me asking for 'help' with a dog saying "Your so much faster with it than I am so figured I'd just follow" I said well, I'm also twice your age and weight with twice the load. I work circles around soft callous free 20 something's all day. To be content to 'follow' and make no attempt to learn for the next time is a terrible mindset.

If I'm not in the gym I studiously avoid speaking to anybody less than 40.

You wrote of "taking the good and leaving the bad" for your future children. You then wrote your labeling was OK because it was not forced.

I pointed out 'forced' was an abstract concept in the example given, and as my argument was that the 'Cultural Marxism' you write of is abstract, it was fair to say you will 'force' something on your children to further my case.

That said, I hope you did not take offence. I used force in single quotations because the term used in this context does not mean what is generally considered its meaning, it is abstract.

I was speaking of being a role model for my kids, not a dictator. But I suspect all of this is very abstract to you, because you're not here with me face to face to have a conversation where you can discern tone and body language and understand where I'm coming from.

I didn't take offense, I just think you've decided to hit on some very trivial things instead of taking in the whole picture and you could have done that by mistake or on purpose, neither would make you a bad person of course.

"Cultural Marxism" isn't abstract, it's victimhood plain and simple. If there's a woman that feels she hasn't achieved what she should have then she should blame the patriarchy. If there's a black that feels the same way they should blame white people. If there's an LGBT that feels that way then they should blame the cisgendered. It's all about being a victim and dividing up regular everyday society so that a political minority group (in this case Communists/Socialists) can take charge and ruin everything as is typical of that form of rule.

So you think it is about labels, and yet you use them as well! The 'Cultural Marxism' you describe seems to be a defence you use to make up for perceived shortcomings; they are abstract thoughts and observations that you place in reality.

As for a Socialist and Communists taking charge, I think that is laughable. Socialists love nothing more than being the opposition and finding fault, and Communists in both the USA and UK are an irrelevance.

[Fenster]

What a bunch of miserable cunts.

Which is exactly what I thought of the older generation when I was younger. You turn into them, they turn into you. That's it.

Apparently the Pope shares my views on unbridled capitalism. Not sure if that's good or bad lol

Really Lyle ? I know it might be uncomfortable to realise this but you are actually just as fond of horseshit as the Cultural Marxists that you so despise. What I mean by this is that the idea that you, despite not having yet had the experiences that past generations had, when they came to the conclusions that you are willing to dismiss, are not so different from the "Vapid, Obnoxious Millennials" .

I don't mean that you are vapid or obnoxious, but while they are fixated by their phones you are just as distracted by the idea that leftists and commies and anyone who does not see the world like you do, is obviously irrelevant and can just be dismissed like a cheap sim card, whilst you buy their music, watch their films,read their books and admire their art as though it was created in a vacuum.

See even I find myself bashing the younger generation as I get older

What conclusions did the past generations have that I dismiss?

What young authors do I read? Musicians do I listen to? Movies I watch? Sure I see commies on tv every so often, Alec Baldwin is one, although he like most American lefties prefers the term "Progressive" I think he's a fine actor.....he just doesn't know fuck all about politics and the economy because he doesn't live in that realm.

I absolutely do bash the younger generation as I get older for some very obvious reasons that everyone must accept unless you are just being a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian.

The younger generation do not know a damn thing about this world. I know this because I have been teaching children and young adults for the past 8 years all over the world. They do not know who Adolphe Hitler is. They do not know who George Washington is. They do not know what World War 2 is. They do not know who the Rolling Stones or the Beatles are. They do not know what the Taj Mahal is. Then never heard of the Roman Empire. They never heard of the Ottoman Empire of course unless they were Turkish hahaha. They don't know anything about the Vietnam War. These kids only know how to point and click how to use their iPhones and their iPads and their iPods. These kids only know how to use Facebook and Twitter. People do not know how to spell words correctly anymore. If you compare these kids of today with the kids of 20 or 50 or 100 years ago these kids are on the border of being completely illiterate and completely ignorant of world history and of world culture and of anything else that you name.

Hard to believe that we live in a world where this....



.....is a problem. Not starvation, not helping the sick, not poverty, not education, not unemployment...no a 19 year old Aussie is breaking down because of fucking a social media addiction.


Yes, I HATE this new generation.....I despise them....there is no hope for a lot of them.

On this topic, I could NOT agree more with Lyle. Lyle you got this right. Dead on right. A lot of Them ARE all a bunch of vile little rats. And keep getting more vile and rat-like.

They are an entire generation without purpose....no sex, no work, no family, no religion, no education, nothing....they have no foundation in the real world and my God that is scary.


Why? (some may ask)


Because they do not have a foundation, because they do not have purpose or direction....they don't value their own lives because there is nothing there TO value so how can they value anyone else's life?
