No skinned knees, stubbed toes, or broken bones required, but the deaths of millions at the hands of socialism and communism don’t count because those generations were “doing it wrong.”

And the gods of the copybook headings, with terror and slaughter, return.

I love the OK Boomer for the irony. Another irony is that the snowflakes who say it are well programmed Boomer Bots who, long into the future, will advance the Boomer poison so carefully inculcated into them by the Leftist snarling hate-filled big mouths who initially were the Boomers to me.

Am reminded of...

—Scene in Goodfellas where Henry Hill discovers his wife Karen had

>> flushed $60,000 worth of cocaine down the toilet to prevent FBI agents from finding it during their raid, leaving the family virtually penniless

He keeps yelling at her, Karen! Karen! That money was supposed to be for us, it’s all we got, Karen!


Pic on facebook showing a coyote riding on a bus.
Online converastion

Karen: “Why is there a coyote on the bus?”

(Reply): “Because they can’t f-—in’ drive, Karen...”

Karens were famous long before her. But I’d also like to point out that she’s a boomer, not a Gen-Xer

According to these youngsters, we’re all gonna be extinct in 11-12 years anyway, so what does it matter?

It’s funny....you go onto those sites and pick “ a fight” ( disagree with them) and what how fast you get them to freak out. It is a fun Friday night these days. (And yes, my wife is sick and that IS just about the highlight of my day.)

The problem is: The Gens after the Boomers expect to immediately have everything their parents have. Our generation has WORKED for everything we have. And those who want Government to cure all their ills will be sadly disappointed when the Government says ‘I’m taking half of your possessions to give to those who don’t have as much. No, it doesn’t matter if you worked for them, it just isn’t fair to those who haven’t bothered to work to get ahead.’

It will be a shocking comeuppance. And probably too late to change course.

As a Gen-Xer, I have several responses to Gen-Z (aka the “Homeland Generation”) lumping us all in with the “Karens”.

(1) Well, bless their little hearts.

(2) Winning a generational war only works when the other side actually cares. Gen-X has weaponised not caring. We generally DGAF what others think.

(3) Since we’re the Homeland Generation’s parents, all we have to do is threaten to take away their anxiety meds.

(4) Since even the *OLDEST* members of the Homeland Generation are indeed old enough to have passed that magical day in your teens, when you wake up one morning, thoroughly convinced that you know *EVERYTHING* (generally around 13 for girls, and 15-16 for boys), but not yet old enough to have reached the day, where it all comes crashing down, and you suddenly realise that you know nothing at all (late twenties to early thirties), until you get a few more years under those collective belts, I think that anything the Homeland Generation has to say at the moment, Gen-X will “take it under advisement”.

(5) Likewise, once the Homeland Generation has spent eight or nine years as latchkey children forced to raise themselves because their self-absorbed parents are too tied up in their own pursuits and interests to actually give two runny shits about raising their own children, they can come and talk to us. Until then... “Whatever you say, Chief.”

“This came from the previous belief in the Aztec Calendar which ended with the year 2012...the end of the World.”

It didn’t mean that at all. It was the start of a new cycle.
