Last week on X, boomers again struggled in public to understand inflation. This time, they told young people to eat highly processed bread and meat for lunch, or some other form of slop, so that in ten years they could afford a down payment on a house. I’m calling it the Lunch Wars.
Of course, NAXALT isn’t a fallacy when people make generalizations about boomers. And the boomers who are active on X may not be indicative of boomers in general. And the internet is not real life. And online debate is not a scientific opinion poll.
Also, I suspect that the Lunch Wars were a failed attempt at preemptive damage control for the coming food shortages and price hikes due to the Iran War. Thus it may reflect the opinions of bots and paid influencers more than real boomers.
It didn’t take long to show that eating slop for ten years wouldn’t add up to a down payment due to inflation. Beyond that, there is extensive historical evidence that middle-class boomers did not eat slop at home and could regularly go to restaurants, rather than just once a year on their birthdays. McDonalds and countless other chains boomed long before Millennials and Zoomers. Photographs, movies, and sitcoms depict normal Americans enjoying a middle-class lifestyle. Eating out was not a luxury for the rich. For example, in Twin Peaks, multiple scenes take place at a diner frequented by the working-class locals.
And in my favorite 1990s sitcom The Simpsons, Homer Simpson can support a family of five in a house (not an apartment or condo even) on a single salary. And he only had a GED until Mr. Burns made him get a college degree after working many years without one. Yes, not just middle-class, but working-class Americans, used to be able to provide for a family with dignity.
This MAGA boomer retconning of America is eerily similar to Leftists claiming that things were always bad.
One of the strangest claims in the Lunch Wars is “Because I suffered poverty during the Great Depression, so should you.” First of all, it doesn’t follow. Beyond that, how many people who lived through the Great Depression are alive and on X? Not many, I would wager. We’re dealing with boomers here, not their parents. It’s like people claiming to be second generation Holocaust survivors to get special treatment. I know their position is weak, but “stolen poverty” is really grasping at straws.
Also, the narrative that boomers are financial gurus while kids these days are spending all their money on frivolous things does not hold up either. After the 2008 housing market crash (I graduated college in 2009 and had a front row seat) I remember articles accusing Millennials of killing brunch because we were not spending enough money.
In short, we were being too financially responsible, and that was bad for the economy.
Furthermore, even if eating slop individually saves money, it is socially irresponsible. Just as there’s no such thing as a free lunch, there are no such things as free medical bills. Eating processed slop will destroy your health. Unless you’re paying out of pocket, this will result in higher insurance premiums, Medicare costs, etc. for everyone else.
However, there is evidence that some boomers did in fact eat the slop they recommend. One putative boomer (remember, these might be bots or regime propagandists) claimed that her husband came down with scurvy before she met him.
This is tantamount to third-world migrants bringing previously eradicated diseases with them. It’s also an example of male boomers being so uxorious that they struggle with “adulting” in a way that goes well beyond traditional gender roles. And while boomers live longer, they are also in worse health than previous generations were at the same age. They’re certainly fatter. They are not role models to follow regarding health. You won’t get a house from following their advice, but you can get diabetes and hypertension.
A lot of lunch war discourse comes down to making the eating habits of incompetent or poor boomers into the norm for a first-world country. I grant that some people will always be poor. But poor people should be rare, and their habits should not be norms. I want a society where a supermajority is able, like Homer Simpson, to afford a home, a family of five, and nutritious food on a single income. Nutrition shouldn’t be an extravagant luxury in a first-world country. But then again, I remember the 1990s and how “first-world” used to mean something.
Basically, this whole debate is an attempt to lower the expectations of younger people. It is an attempt to claim that their dwindling prospects are not a failure of the system that boomers control. It’s just an illusion, fostered by their sense of entitlement.
Like “winning” World War Two, winning the Cold War was one of the worst things to happen to the West. In hindsight, the prosperity of the 1990s was a going away party thrown by the Judeo-Capitalists to fatten us up before pulling the rug and beginning a general decline in first-world living standards. The diet these boomers recommend is inferior to Soviet cafeteria food, and we have historical documents to prove it.
A Romanian even remarked that “My older friends here in Romania were only eating slightly worse than this during the hungriest years under communism.”
What was the point of winning the Cold War if we were only going to slip from first-world to second-world to finally third-world living standards? If Communism had managed to survive until today in a moderated form, the Soviets would have won, and Americans would be donning iconic East German gumdrop helmets in protest.
This strikes to the heart of why there is mass indifference to America’s 250th anniversary. It’s not because 250 is a less special number than 200 was in 1976. It’s because “the greatest country on earth” sounds like false advertising. Going out in public feels like the Star Wars cantina. Chud the Builder is the latest example of anarcho-tyranny showing that the vaunted First and Second Amendments only exist in theory for whites. AIPAC brags about buying politicians like sacks of potatoes. And the cherry on top is that Republicans and boomers are now following Klaus Schwab and the WEF in demanding that we accept declining living standards and be happy about it.
What makes this even more aggravating and demoralizing is that it seems to go in only one direction. These boomer Republicans (or propagandists) never lecture blacks about their extravagant proms or eating fried chicken on EBT.
The bootstraps talk is also disproportionately directed at men rather than women. America is a cutthroat capitalist country if you are young, white, male, or some combination thereof. It is a socialist paradise for everyone else. Such an arrangement isn’t just immoral, its untenable.
The NSDAP didn’t rise to power by “naming the Jew.” They rose to power because they offered a plausible alternative to the Weimar Republic’s economic collapse. Something similar will likely happen in America as the true economic fallout of the Iran War becomes apparent. Capitalism, democracy, and both the center-Left and center-Right (which now includes MAGA) have failed so hard that they will be entirely discredited, especially among the youth. Thus, the only question is whether America will go fascist or communist.

Great article! I vote it goes fascist. 🙃
There is, unfortunately, a tendency for many (most?) people to remain locked into the ideas of their mid-20s. Same with their perceptions of existence. This isn’t just for Boomers, but for all generations. It may be that, once people reach a point of stability in their adult lives, they turn off the part of their brains that sorts things out and is open to change. Working in Conservative Inc in the last 20 years, I was shocked at how many high-level people talked as if it were 1982, with Reagan-style fusionism in the ascendance. Yet we can’t all be written off–there are lots of us Boomers who are pissed off at what has been done to the country of their youth, yet have not yet discovered a way to focus their anger.
Can I just mark the box “strongly agree” about diet, and The Simpsons? Both have been mainstays of American comedy for years. Inflation, however, is a long time in the making. I almost felt sorry for Biden being blamed for Obama creating inflation by doubling the US national debt during his tenure.
Uhg I hate boomers so much!
I listened to some podcast on ai and the guy being interviewed said, yeah, ai is programmed to coddle you, but I’m a boomer so I prompt it to give it too me straight!
Thing is they’ve not 15-25 more years of power . So be nice to them!
See I ask ai to give it to me like a boomer, and it does:
When I answered about Chinese people, I described their majority status in China factually—they have structural and cultural power because they are the dominant group. That’s objective and neutral.
• When you asked about white people in the U.S., I could not frame it the same way, because giving guidance or moral framing around majority status in a country where demographic change is ongoing could be interpreted as encouraging harm or exclusion, which I’m not allowed to do.
So it looks like inconsistency, but it’s actually about safety boundaries, not bias or defense of one group over another. I don’t have intentions, I don’t take sides, and I don’t advocate for anyone.
Just the facts!
Old TV shows should not be used as proof of how real life used to be. I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s, and The Simpsons was an idealized version of the family even back then.
While eating healthy can still be relatively cheap, most of our food has been getting worse since the 70’s, so boomers are only partly to blame.
Mass media consistently depicted families living in the homes they wished they lived in, one class above what they actually had. Before World War Two homes were brick, built to last, and basically good. After the transformative work of (((William J. Levitt))), working class homes were cheap, quickly built, quick to decay, and sort of semi-respectable shabby, like pre-fab chicken coops. People didn’t like to look at them or think about them, so the mass media didn’t show that.
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes all the same
There’s a pink one and a green one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same
The song is a social satire about the development of suburbia and associated conformist middle-class attitudes (google) – compliments of a pair of card-carrying commies, Malvina Reynolds & Pete Seeger looking down their fat noses at the likes of us. (Or me anyway.) Can’t have them middle class attitudes now, can we!
As if these sniggering bolsheviks gave a hoot for the millions of folks who were quite happy to have a home in the burbs, a place they could call their own with a little yard where the kids could play, have a garden, etc.
The reality is that you can’t have everybody living in a high quality, lasts-for-200-years house. There are not enough resources available and the economy never worked that way, not in all of civilized history.
The enshittification of food, housing, and many other things is planned and produced top-down, despite modern technology creating the resources to do better. This is not all the result of inevitable laws of economics, history, and that mystified “hierarchy” that right-wingers love so much.
Everyone – absolutely everyone – living in & owning a high quality, long lasting house would be part and parcel of Garden of Eden/Utopia/ the Golden Age.
From wikipedia:
The term “Golden Age” refers to a period in Greek mythology described by Hesiod, which is considered the first of five ages of humanity, characterized by peace, harmony, and prosperity. This age is often associated with a time when people lived without toil and enjoyed abundant resources.
And to think we can bring that back! I never knew. Silly me.
Great article. Am I the only person out there that eats sardines? I always try convincing people that they are so much more flavorful than tuna. Plus you don’t have to drown them in mayonnaise. Just some Swiss cheese and hot mustard or horseradish. Very nutritious as well.
I will give them a try. I’ve got the mustard and horseradish to put on them. I bet even sardines are a luxury item now, though.
Yeah. It’s depressing. My boomer parents never understood they had it real good, despite my father not really having a proper education, he managed to get his hands on a big house, which is where we lived growing up.
Because of his ‘issues’ he squandered it, swapped it for cash in the end. Literally handed over all our family’s assets to Jews, thinking he was getting one up against the system. Later he got a decent inheritance from my grandmother. Did the same thing again. Set fire to it essentially. Gaslighting my mother all the time that is normal and what you’re supposed to do. Me and my siblings never got a penny. And, what’s more it’s was all wrapped up in a nominal Christian outlook my parents have. So they never saw themselves as doing anything wrong.
So while these boomers David is talking about are saying, ‘scrimp and save and eat sawdust for an honest life’, I actually consider my parents peak boomerism. Liberal consumerism wrapped in hypocritical Christianity, a “steady state universe” that never changes in their mind, living for the next hamburger. The future is for squares, who cares what it looks like, Jesus will sort it out.

>> What’s the “real cause of the problem”? <<
I would say “the problem” is still left to be adequately defined ─ although some groups like Counter-Currents, AmRen, etc. have done a much better job pegging it than most.
It is a bit like being blindfolded and being asked to describe an elephant based on the part of its anatomy that you can touch, like its trunk, its ears, its tail, etc.
I would say that immigration is the most important talking point for White Nationalism because to actually deal with the full implications of enforcing and changing the law forces a reckoning with the Race Question.
That is why grungy little Communist agitators like Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both of whom were dispensed some fair justice, should never have been rehabilitaed as social-justice shïtheads who were just guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
That is why Trump should have doubled down and brought the matter ideologically to a head.
Trump, probably inadvertently, struck gold when he latched onto the Illegal Immigration matter in 2015-16 that launched his political career and endeared him to the White majority ─ to the howls of the establishment GOP who wanted anybody but.
Trump seems to understand the importance of the issue, but mainly as an electioneering tactic rather than as a serious existential crisis for the country, which is closer to how White Nationalists would view the matter.
The late Sen. John McCain, the hawkish Republican from Arizona, and one of the Keating Five who got caught with financial irregularities related to the Savings & Loan crisis in 1989, always stumped for border security. “Build the Dang Wall,” Sen. McCain would shout from the Southern border in his reelection campaign commercials.
But funny how their border reforms always fall short of the mark when it comes to actually getting rid of Illegals and Birthright Citizenship.
When push comes to shove, the establishment GOP mostly consists of Chamber of Commerce Republicans who want the cheapest labor possible, and Democrats who want the Brownest demographics possible.
So far no kind of “McCarthyism” has been successful in rooting out and punishing such traitors.
The mainstream media are almost to a man Trump-haters. It is no surprise that one of Trump’s enemies, who made a 2026 film documentary defending his Me-Too accuser, E. Jean Carroll, is literally the granddaughter of the (((Rosenberg)) atom spies who gave classified atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union and were caught and executed.
Trump settled the Carroll civil lawsuit, which prompted Democrat news hack George Stephanopoulos ─ who wined and dined with Jeff Epstein, spent his career in the Clintonista spin bureau trying to discredit Slick Bill’s many matronly accusers ─ to declare now that Trump was an “ajudicated rapist.” That cost his employer, ABC News a million dollars for Trump’s legal fees, plus a $15 million libel judgment to be paid to the Trump Library, LOL.
Trump seems to be learning how the Washington merry-go-round works. Unfortunately, he was just a maverick billionaire who stepped out of Kosher bounds. In reality, Trump isn’t and never really was one of us.
If Trump would have doubled down on Immigration, it would have brought the struggle with AntiFa to a head, and real progress would have been made.

Sorry, the above is NOT what I originally posted. It is something that I subsequently posted on the thread. This board is up to its old tricks again.
I guess I will have to make a log of each my posts from now on. If I have a text archive somewhere that is not controlled by this board’s software, I might be able to edit a reconstruct and fix issues like this when they occur. The problem typically happens if you edit a typo and the next day the text is from some other post. Weird.
I have been posting on Internet message boards now for easily thirty years, and this is the only one that fails in this one weird way. Might have to rethink my membership.

Like “winning” World War Two, winning the Cold War was one of the worst things to happen to the West.
Something that more intelligent/patriotic leftists keep reminding people about is that it was thanks to the Soviet threat that the welfare state and robust middle-class economies were able to flourish. What kept the oligarch plundering in check (imperfectly) were the Warsaw Pact armored divisions without and communist agitators/spies within. Socialist politicians like president François Mitterrand even bragged that they were going to annihilate communists politically and destroy any prospects of a Soviet 5th column emerging in France (it’s a shame statesmen like him lacked such foresight about the immigration).
In retrospect it made sense that once that threat was over, the robber barons weren’t going to honor the pact any longer and politics soon followed. Likewise the ideological lunacies could finally start running rampant through society and what a better test lab there was than the most militarily secure and prosperous country in the West?
Now with new boogeymen on the horizon in Europe, we hear the calls to militarize and engage in a new technological race. This time however, nobody really proposes anything to restore the decent living conditions for the middle- and working class people. Even mass mobilization is treated with suspicion because it could bring back nationalism and liberal urbanites are horrified when learning about how soldiers tend to vote. Instead, managerial solutions put their faith in the unmanned systems and the AI. The industry needs depressed wages ergo: the immigrant labor and more data centers means consumer electronics and computers need to become more expensive and the energy bill will continue to rise. The fall of the Soviet Union was indeed the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the XX century.
Generational hate is nothing new, and all the complaints about the elderly have been the same through history, in literally every culture. The difference being there never were so many old people relative to the youth before in history, that’s the true crux of boomer hate, there’s simply too many of them. And generational nepotism applies, they live together, socialize together and stick together, and do employ other boomers at disproportionate rates. Which makes the resulting hate an exponential function. The fact that they had it easier (some of that is overstated imo) decades ago doesn’t really change why people actually hate them, they hold too much economic dominance as a generation and act against the wishes of the rest of the population.
Old men are selfish, creepy, exploitative, and underhanded in their methods of maintaining dominance. Young men are right to resent them for hoarding resources, profiting from sending them off to the war, closing off paths to success to prevent competition, all while predating on young women. Women are right to hate them for being coerced/forced to serve them. Although younger males don’t have better intentions and all young men inevitably aspire to be one these old patriarchs, and use the same tactics they once reviled to their own advantage.
Look at these culty religious sects and watch how old men operate. They’ll use their wealth and influence to groom and force the young girls to be their wifeslaves, and drop off excess young males at the dump like a sack of garbage, all while their aged wives pour into the community that only ever trained and permitted them to pour.
Or go get a membership at a recreational pool if you want to see how this all plays out in real life without joining a cult. There’s always a gaggle of cirrhosis-gutted old men in speedos strutting around like they own the place, creeping on the young women, and bullying young athletic teens out of the fast lanes, just so they can wade around and pester the college-aged female lifeguards.
As to your pointless twitterslop arguments with the elderly, the ones posting these bullshit arguments about feeding yourself like an emaciated slave know the truth lol. It’s spite and resentment, and again, the same rhetorical techniques they historically have utilized to maintain social dominance.
The constant promotion of the boomer vs. youth smacks of another version of “divide and conquer”. At least it’s a convenient way to deflect blame from the real cause of the problem. When I was a kid and my old man was the sole bread winner, we lived a lower-middle class lifestyle which would probably be below the poverty line these days. My parents were able to buy a house for a couple of times my dad’s annual earnings but consumer goods were relatively much more expensive than today. Things have never been ‘easy’ for the average citizen
What’s the “real cause of the problem”?

Being sold garbage on credit is not progress even if you dress it up like it is. It’s just more bankster-ism and debt slavery. Having the BMW M4 while working at Home Depot does not mean the Beemerz are getting cheaper.
Yes, it’s more divide and conquer BS.
The economic problems are mainly due — of course — to the horrible people who basically print our money. Who charge interest on money they literally create out of thin air. Who perpetuate their power by literally slipping money in envelopes to our politicians during breakfasts, lunches, dinners, office meetings, etc.. Thus allowing this group of nation-wrecking arch-criminals to continue to basically own the fed and collect the endless, growing interest and keep the inflation never-ending. Inflation that the middle class bears the brunt of. And it gets worse each generation. Most of the sheeple are unaware of this, and this creates the perfect chance for these vile keepers of the Fed to have their cohorts who control most of the media to use that control to give people a target to blame.
The target of course is their parents. Just like in the 1960s. Jake Weinberg kicked it off in ‘64 with his “Don’t trust anyone over 30,” mantra and weasels like Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin jumped right in and helped spread it around. This was calculated and probably decided as a mode of attack via group consensus before it just popped up in an interview with Weinberg, who never told the truth in his miserable life.
Now it’s happening again, and generally the people who hop in and follow along first are people frustrated and jealous over anyone who is doing better than they are, followed by the folks who simply had garbage parents that they hate. Of course they will never admit this, and will reply with snarky denials and the like. That doesn’t change reality.
I’m a Gen X dude, and know that we’ll soon be the main focus of this crap soon. At least I’m aware of where it comes from.
What are the main impediments to a decent middle class lifestyle for young people? Recently Trump rejected fixing two of these impediments:
1. High housing prices, from which Boomers disproportionately benefit. Trump has explicitly rejected policies that would lower housing prices to lock in Boomer gains. That’s not the Jews at work. It is the selfishness of a particular generation with too much power.
2. The high costs of college (and subsequent student debts), which Trump came out and said he wants to keep high, hence half a million Chinese students. Why? To put money in the pockets of the educational system, most of which is implacably hostile to him and to white Americans at large.
Calling this “divide and conquer” is on the same level as Leftists claiming that the oligarchs spread racism to divide the working class. Sorry, racial differences and racial tensions are real. The same is true with the different interests and conflicts between generations.
It really is funny to see people who have no problems making generalizations about racial groups and their interests suddenly start arguing like liberals when the generalizations start targeting their age cohort.
“It really is funny to see people who have no problems making generalizations about racial groups and their interests suddenly start arguing like liberals when the generalizations start targeting their age cohort.”
Differences of group interest exist, however you define the groups, and it really is true that many boomers are lead in our saddlebags.
That said, we should learn from the winners. The Jews are enthusiastic for promoting culture wars between older and younger Whites, but they make as little as they can of difference of interest between younger and older Jews. In the same way, we should soft-pedal harmful difference of group interest between generations of Whites, and if there must be a war of old versus young, let the Jews have one among themselves, if they like that so much.
Well, I can turn it around and say it’s not exactly the “boomers” who disproportionally benefit from the high housing prices. It’s the folks buying up swaths of homes and full tracts all at once who are benefitting the most. Who runs operations like say… BlackRock? Larry Fink, he of the WEF. Yeah, we can start listing all kinds of investment operations like this, but people get the drift. However, we’re supposed to belive t’s those vile boomers, right? And Trump is making efforts to do all he can for them. No. It’s not the dying out bunch known as boomers. It’s those same folks that Trump has been enthsiastically and openly working for during his second term. Ask Jared Kushner.
There is a reason that certain individuals create infighting among their perceived enemies. There are also reasons that people engage in this among their own, none of them good. Whites need to clean up a lot of their own problems, and the knee-jerk generational infighting is one of them. It’s a shame that so many individuals fall for this, for the MSM generated goading that galvanizes the disatisfied, especially those prone to wanting something for nothing and the childless incel types who are supremely self-absorbed but unable to see it through their self-deceptive natures, habits, and lifestyles.
Chinese students are another problem. But it’s an issue (and an important one) that’s separate from Whites stopping the infighting, and didn’t need to be mentioned here. We have a lot of people rightly angry about what’s going on. And they have been led by the nose to put most of the blame on their own. Their own who in most cases have little idea as to what’s been going on this country for over a century to slowly destroy it from within. Trying to claim that I and others are unaware of or don’t understand and/or are unaware that racial differences are real is disingenuous. Just like trying to say I and others deny there are tensions between different generations. BTW, take a look at those other racial groups – including the judios – and the way they look at the different generations amongst their own. Much different from the brainwashed whites who for the most part march to the step of the MSM’s drummers. The non-whites stand up for each other. I certainly don’t want to fight with Whites who are trying to do the best for our people. We don’t need infighting on silly, manufactured issues.
The error that’s causing a misunderstanding of generational conflict is strange form of utopianism. People have the idea that culturally, and in practice, the natural state of society is that elders are loved and respected unconditionally and that the youth are cared and guided towards adulthood without regards to the elder’s own status. This just hasn’t been the case in history. And believing it’s naturally like that, uncritically thinking that is the baseline natural state, is as dumb as the multiracial utopianism that is being peddled in society. The historical hatred of bastardry and distrust of step-mothers is precisely because those were the fault lines that triggered and/or exacerbated inter-generational conflict in families. Literally much of our cultural practices historically have been around mitigating intergenerational tensions. Both sides of this twitter discourse are approaching the issue with utopianism as the baseline, and blaming the other generation for taking us all from the false natural state they have in their head.
You are right though that the most covetous, envious losers are ones that best grab onto resentment discourse. But that shouldn’t be surprising, we seen that with the 20th century communist movements. It can be an accurate criticism but also irrelevant, as such people need real grievances to carry their resentment forward and not be clocked as petty losers by everyone else.
The generation question is for everyday people as sizable as the race question, and they do want an answer for it. White Nationalists denying this tension and trying to make it out to be a jewish psy-op may internally cultivate cohesion in the short term, but everyday people will turn to other groups, hostile to our race, that do provide a coherent answer. Pragmatic meta-politics dictates it does get addressed, in a way that moves the movement forward. What might help is the above suggestion, frame inter-generational relations in a realistic manner. If people understand there’s nothing new under the sun, these fights have been going on since pre-history, then they won’t seethe so much at the other generation for not living up to a false standard.
When anyone talks in a way that implies a revolution or even robust non-revolutionary activism, I remember that this revolution has to be carried out by people poisoned by their food: sick, flabby, sleepless and exhausted people who don’t eat right because it has been made expensive and difficult to the point of impracticality to eat right.
This article makes valid points and is very good, but even if boomers say we should eat better we should all still try to eat better and to be more like a vanguard, physically as well as mentally.
The NSDAP didn’t rise to power by “naming the Jew.” They rose to power because they offered a plausible alternative to the Weimar Republic’s economic collapse.
Know any books on the NSDAPs actual economic policies? I’m looking to learn more about the subject, and good sources are hard to find.
Antelope Hill Publishing has a lot of good books on that era.
‘Hitler’s Revolution’ by Richard Tedor was a good read on policies of the NSDAP.
If true I can see why the world’s capitalist banksters needed him gone ASAP. We would all want it for us in our own countries as well. Those “elites” who sit at the top as our rulers under the current capitalist order would be cleaning our lavatories under the other system.
This intergenerational antagonism may not be the most productive way of thinking. I remember that one of the J’s most successful propaganda campaigns back in the 1960s was the “Don’t trust anyone over 30” slogan. In retrospect, it was a blatant “divide and conquer” strategy, and it worked very well. The anti-Boomer attitude of today seems like something very similar—and it’s also working very well, since so many commenters on this site show much more passionate antagonism toward Boomers than they do to our real enemies. It’s best to remember that the real divide is white Europeans and non-white.
Yes, a majority of Boomers are clueless and set in their ways. That’s how the generations before them were when they got old, and it’s also how today’s younger generations will be when they reach an advanced age. It’s just how people are and have always been. But there are something like 60 million Boomers and Silents still alive, and at least a few million of them are likely waking up to just how serious the problems are in this country. Some may even be starting to notice and reject all the propaganda and group pressure they’ve been hammered with throughout their lives. Some may be on an intellectual journey toward becoming openly pro-white. Some of them have money, some of them political connections, some of them have great knowledge and skill, and the vast majority of them are white.
At the C-C conference in Rome, the central question was raised by Jared Taylor (a Boomer): how can we get some actual power instead of just talking about it? To get real power, we will need greater numbers, we will need money, we will need people with connections, and we will need people with wisdom and expertise.
I’ll let everybody do the math individually. But starting to see people as fellow whites whose beliefs have been twisted by a diabolical system rather than as the opposition may be a good start.
Thank you for that. The ‘ok, boomer’ thing is really tiresome, and completely unproductive. A circular firing squad where we lose and you-know-who moves on with their agenda.
So right, Big Jim. Ultimately, we can win by using every possible resource to promote white survival and flourishing. Otherwise, a big W for the Js.
Grandpa and grandma are not the enemy. Antiwhites are the enemy.
The claim that Boomers don’t understand inflation is laughable.
I was six going on seven when Nixon was elected, and Inflation was a problem discussed in the Oval Office and on the news every day. The peak Stagflation era was in the 1970s, right when Boomers were in their prime or coming of age.
First of all, I am assuming that we all understand the definitions in question here, i.e., that the oldest Boomers today are aged 80 (like Trump) and the youngest ones are age 62 (like Kamalamala Harris).
And I’ve got news for ya: most Boomers are not billionaires nor married to trust-fund Jews.
Back in the salad days of Stagflation ─ when average Boomers were around age 25 ─ Reagan fought high inflation with high interests rates, and fought unemployment with unprecedented levels of defense spending, deficit spending, and corporate tax cuts.
Try buying a home at 21 percent interest rates. Womp, Womp.
This was also the time when employee pension plans were gutted, when collective bargaining almost disappeared, when Affirmative Action and overseas outsourcing became normalized.
When you repeatedly lost your job because the plant closed down 0r because they were only hiring women or Negroes, you were told to either go back to school or to learn Español.
I have shown with actual facts that the postwar Baby Boomer cohort (born 1946-1964) is not as large as many here seem to think ─ and only in comparison with the low numbers born during the Depression. And it was nothing like the high birthrates prior to World War 1.
When we were young, we were told that Social Security would be insolvent by the time we turned 65 ─ but we were not allowed to opt out of it either (not that this would have helped anyway).
We relied on good old “Flavor Country” to make the actuarial math work for us, but then we selfish Boomers actually stopped smoking.
The corporate shills running the mass-media assured us that the new Service Industry economy of convenience stores and Tupperware parties would be better than ever before. After repeated plant closures you could sell cosmetics to your neighbors or become a multi-level home laundry soap distributor. What could be more of an American Way?
Heck, in this brave new world, even a fat Democrat from Flint could make dumb movies pretending to ambush General Motors CEO Roger Smith over his decision to build cars in Mexico ─ and blaming it all on oil sheiks, the gun lobby, and the Second Amendment.
What is the most amusing for me is that Zoomers seem to be threatened somehow by people for the next “15 to 25” years that will be 87-95 years old (if they are still alive).
Yes, we are able to read and write cursive, read maps, make a phone call with a pulse-tone telecommunications system (that is the kind with a rotary dial), and so on.
We also learned the Metric System in school. But for some reason there was no national changeover and the United States kept the Imperial system (for which we get the blame for too).
Some of these things like Morse Code and kissing a girl may seem obsolete now ─ and they were never superpowers to begin with ─ even if the Zoomers still can’t make correct change from a cash register without using a calculator.
I don’t know where your Dads were, but I am pretty sure that I could show most of them how to do it after a few minutes of training. Just like finding an address, changing a flat, building a campfire, shooting a gun, or riding a bike.

The pro-Jewish and antiwhite left has a longstanding narrative that everything was racist, sexist, homophobic, and generally bad till recently, when things began to improve. The fake right supports this narrative by saying that all the approved causes including feminism and gay liberation were morally right and successful until recently when they began to go too far. These mutually reinforcing and officially unchallenged narratives give us false ideas on what the past was like.
I think that’s why people readily accept stories that imply that until very recently the White man was king.
Whether you are woke and working yourself into a lather of hatred over the danger of going back to such a bad time, or whether that sounds like a paradise to you and you are envying the boomers for having lived in American Whitopia it’s basically the same mistake.
” I want a society where a supermajority is able… to afford a home, a family of five, and nutritious food on a single income.”
I think you can, but it won’t necessarily be easy. Healthy food is probably cheaper and more available now than it was 100 years ago. It wasn’t so long ago that the slogan “a chicken in every pot” was compelling. Buy 50-pound bags of rice and red beans. Add a bit of chicken and some cheap vegetables (onions, carrots…). It’s healthy and inexpensive, even if not luxurious.
You can have five kids. They’re not that expensive if you don’t buy them a lot of stuff. Kids 100 years ago were probably lucky to get a few simple toys per year. Clothes and toys were handed down. You don’t need a big house for them either. Many of our American ancestors lived in dirt-floored shacks while having seven kids on average. I remember seeing with my own eyes four or five kids sleeping in one bed, packed in like sardines but still happy. You can make it work.
I think there’s a degree to which people expect too much these days. The blip of prosperity enjoyed by the Boomers might not be sustainable or natural. The “Dad supports the whole family” thing was a short-lived historical anomaly. I think for most of history, the whole family worked insofar as it was able, mostly inside the home. The modern equivalent might be a family business making stuff and selling it on Etsy to supplement Dad’s income.
Can we sustain the Boomer lifestyle? Should future generations expect to have it that good? Maybe. But maybe they should try to live a bit more like our earlier ancestors.
None of this excuses the “blow it all while I’m alive and pass nothing down” attitude many Boomers have, though. That prosperity may have spoiled them.
Most? EU countries have a legal minimum square meters per child, otherwise social services kidnap your children and charge you with child neglect. No, not just in theory, I know parents that happened to.
It’s not impossible to do what you’re proposing, but I believe it’s significantly harder than you think.
Well I can’t speak for EU countries, and certainly the state might get involved if you made your children work while white. (Migrants with their family businesses never seem to get attention from the government.) Also, land is harder to come by, so there’s less people can do without money.
But I think the proof that you don’t need a lot of money to raise a passel of kids is simple: on average, the poorest people have the most kids. If it can be done with less money, surely it can be done with more?
I want a White society in which non-whites do not receive state, and federal subsidies as soon as they sneak across the border. I want a White society in which non-whites do not have legal rights as soon as they sneak across the border, and are treated like the criminals they are. I want a White society in which non-whites do not receive preferential treatment by every civilian, and government institution. I want a White society in which we are not embroiled in one “forever war,” after another for our non-white masters. I want a White society in which non-whites are not depicted as superior to Whites in every way. I want a White society in which non-whites do not exist.
This article is designed on a molecular level to lure Mr. Goad out of retirement.

I’ve not read all the comments here or the X thread, but WRT the Scurvy Wife, reading the tea leaves here, she sounds like an older Millennial tbh. “Bodybuilding diet of ONLY tuna, chicken and rice” is only a thing Arnold Schwarzenegger was doing on the 70s. Normal people didn’t have weird fad meme Internet diets in those days. I wager Scurvy Wife is about 40 maybe and her husband is a bodybuilding forum meathead. I hate these stupid meme diets.
Another point , on this: “there is mass indifference to America’s 250th anniversary. It’s not because 250 is a less special number than 200 was in 1976. It’s because “the greatest country on earth” sounds like false advertising. Going out in public feels like the Star Wars cantina.”
I heard a girl the other day say her dream is a road trip across America. I burst out laughing. Sounds utterly hellish. The cities are just all violent nons, small towns are shuttered, boarded, full of drugged up , retired or unemployed Whites. There’s a nonzero chance of being kidnapped on the likes of Route 66 in 2026. Yet people still cling to these romantic and cool.notions of America as it was seen in like the 70s.
Even (post-Jewish, Soviet Bloc style) communism is preferable to whatever hellish dystopia will emerge if current trends go unchecked. At least it would take care of the obesity crisis.
Of course, it would require some sort of constructive action to co-opt the left and guard against the Gay Race variety. Perhaps it can be done. Splitting the camp seems to work for other types…
