The Baby Boomer Question?
Now I am aware of most people on this forum read considerate amounts of history. As I also understand that a lot of frustrated young people who feel there livelihoods have been taken away from them, are really quite angry about this dire situation left to them.

As a young person I went to high school in the central Florida area. Florida consistently ranks dead last in education in the United States. My particular school was over capacity by some 800 students. My classes were heavily multi-racial and it was basically was like being in hell! But being in that situation I always was quite bitter at the people we call "snow birds" who reside there in these enormous golf course communities. These people would always vote against any education taxes and always had the me me me mentality! I actually worked at the golf course during high school and felt this whole country club status mentality made me feel very angry. This whole culture built on pettiness bothered me! I also had grandparents who lived out in Hot Springs AK in golf course communities for some 20 years, there whole selfish ideology of themselves always irritated me. I certainly knew we could of used my grandmother to help watch my younger siblings, if not us some other family members. You know be involved and helping doing something useful instead of just playing golf every day. You could play golf everyday but do something helpful to someone! Of course these pigs were Zionist who felt hey they world is going to end so you can do whatever you want!! INSANITY

But as I have grown older now I kind of realize the future of this DE-industrilized America, which there isn't one. I see the older people in this country and I talk with them and I am usually quite disgusted by this mental poison they seem to have. They literally don't feel they have any responsibility for anything other then themselves. If we didn't have an all right treasonous government who sold the youth all out, it would be forgivable. But how do people who work these jobs and passively let the NAFTA be signed and everything else????

These young adults of the 1960's who let the civil rights movement come to pass, feminism, gay rights, globalization and so on... Should they be held accountable?? I would be very interested in hearing people's opinions about this.

My personal opinion is yes they should be held accountable and this is why. If i were to go to a shopping mall with a friend and my friend was to shoplift things from the store but I was only a witness to it the security of course would have me arrested to. If you live in a country and you use ignorance as a means of living a superficial lifestyle at the cost of future generations you should be taken to court. I would primarily have these as show trials to install guilt in the old treasonous generations and to give some hope to the younger peoples the future of the country. Now of course this would not be for all older people there are a lot of older people who help out with things and would not be subjected to this of course. But i do think and it is a rather unfortunate possibly dark mentality, but we need to start openly declaring these people as traitors! If we do this I think it would have monumental moral boost for young people and drive in that patriotic spirit which is so lacking in everything. That the past was wrong but the future we will get right!

Yeah, the generation of the 60's was the worst generaton ever. They did all the sh*t and threw it in today's generation hands. Now, as a consequence, the current generation is the most disgusting, perverted people ever.

Thats the purpose of generation identitaire in France, repair the errors of the generation who destroyed the morals by creating a nationalist generation.

But now appointing to the past generations won't affect the future. Everybody must know what they did wrong but our goal must be work on the future generations. Rotten fruits are lost forever, we have to keep pure the new fruits.

About the golf thing I can't say nothing about it because we don't have golf in my country.

As someone who was a D-average student in a 95%+ White high school but arose to a standard of practically straight-A's in a much more diverse college. I imagine that even if the schools were monoracial, we would still have much work to do in reforming the educational system.

An agrarian country could exercise self-sufficiency, at least in regards to food production and export surplus crops, rather than machinery. Not only that, but due to the mechanization of modern agriculture, we could reduce the population and our impact on the environment. Many of today's jobs are, IMO, nothing but make-work programs and a result of bureaucratization.

On a related note, you might find humor in the Old Economy Steve meme.

dude, you have no idea how much I agree with you. My dad is a baby boomer and as much as I love him there are alot things he says and does that just has me shaking my head. He just has alot of the ideological baggage that his generation is known for.

My take on the baby boomers is that they are all generally self absorbed morons that believe in everything and anything the mainstream media and Governments tell them.

Also I feel they threw my generation and my children "under the bus" so as they can receive government hand outs like social security, and health benefits.

How much power does Generation Y have? Will our children or grandchildren blame us for failing to turn the Occupy Movement into an Racial Awakening on parallel to 1848?
You can't blame boomers for political change - my Father was one of the oldest boomers and he was only 15 in 1965, and most of the immigration / gender laws were forced in during the 1960's when he was a teenager.
How many 15 year old or 18 year old politicians do you know about?
Honestly the boomers didn't really gain political power (mainstream wise) until the very late 1980s.
The generation that effectively destroyed the white race were those individuals who were born between 1895 to 1905 - they lived through the Great War and then spend their influential adult years during the roaring 20's (a time of liberalism and vice) - they brought in all the change in the 1960s that is killing us at the moment.

What is this ideological baggage of the boomer generation that you speak of? You are painting a pretty wide brush there, particularly considering that you are posting on a website started by boomers......which also has a lot of boomer posters.
We didn't vote for the civil rights act, we were too young to vote.
We didn't have any control over the OPEC embargo which bumped up inflation big time and started the ever spiraling increases of mini-bubbles in the stock market.
We were not responsible for the bankruptcy of the US forcing Nixon to take us off the gold standard, recall all our silver coins and go into floating currencies.
We didn't know that Bill Clinton robbed the Social Security fund to pay off the national debt till much, much later after the fact. Who the heck voted for Clinton? I sure didn't.
We didn't know that de-industrialization of America was the new American policy till the 1990s with Ross Perot (that giant sucking sound to the south) and NAFTA. Ross Perot ran for president and backed out very late in the game. I understand that the lives of his wife and children were threatened. I voted for Perot anyway.
There is a whole lot more that happened in this interval and it happened to us. It was done to us. We didn't cause it, we didn't want it, and most of the time we didn't find out about any of this till after the fact.
And you want to blame us, the boomer generation for these problems? You need to know then that you are following marx101 to the tee.
These young adults of the 1960's who let the civil rights movement come to pass, feminism, gay rights, globalization and so on... Should they be held accountable?? I would be very interested in hearing people's opinions about this.
The people in the forefront of the civil rights movements were primarily Jews who looked white. I didn't know a single white person in that era who wanted "civil rights" much less worked for achieving that end.
Not a co-worker, not a family member, not a friend I knew wanted that. We all thought that racial integration was a disgusting idea and believed that even if the government did force this on us that people would still self segregate----and that is exactly what happened. That was the beginning of "white flight".
Some whitemen did fight ,literally, and wound up in jail if not killed in shoot outs.
Feminism was a horrible, horrible jew ideology thrust on us for the sole intention of destroying the family. Unfortunately a lot of women
did fall for this. Some of us didn't buy the message but others, a whole lot of others did.
To a degree some form of 'liberation' was necessary. Those people of the
'greatest generation' were not so easy to get along with. Some of them had very harsh attitudes towards the people around them simply because those people were there.
The men had experienced a lifetime of being dumped on by the government and they had no outlet. They suffered from cognitive dissonance believing that the government
was good and trustworthy, a benevolent force, while they continuously got the short end of the stick from the government. They knew something was wrong, but they couldn't identify the problem. The women of the time suffered the frustration these men expressed at home. It was not "Ozzie and Harriet" stuff I assure you.
Gay Rights? Who would have ever thought that would happen? I was never for that and I don't know personally anyone who was.
Globalization? We had nothing to do with that. That was outside of our power to control one way or the other. The media however promoted all of this all the time as good and necessary. Who wanted this? I don't know. The people I spoke to, American and European were totally against it.
All of this has happened because America was deChristianized. Without that Christian base anything can happen.

you guys started f ucking around and destroying the nuclear family. not everything is about money. no older generation forced "free love" on you. you guys decided to **** where you eat on your own by throwing away traditional values, ruining women, and neglecting children. not to mention the drug culture you guys created. all the hippie bull****. she probably became someone's mother. how wonderful. I just think you guys talked a big game in the 60s and ultimately when you got jobs and money realized it turned out to all be bull****. you didnt love eachother half as much as you claimed and the future generation of children suffered. you reverted to pretty much all the materialism you accused the older generation of but became much more selfish,broke up families, and did alot of coke. if it werent for the fact that pretty much all baby boomers have this self righteous streak about them it would be more tolerable. 
The reasons are wide and varied but in a nutshell, the greatest generation raised them and gave them everything they didn't have. And they looked around and instead of appreciating the hard work that went into what they had, they felt guilty and sad that everyone didn't share it all.
And instead of studying hard science the did polysci, journalism, and education because they were easy (no risk of being flunked out and drafted, plenty of time to party, etc.)
And then when they got older, they realized they wanted the comforts etc. And the realized that organizing would give it to them. As in AARP, etc....
So now, we have the boomers inheriting from their folks - the LARGEST transfer of wealth in the history of the world. And many have very nice IRAs... And even nicer SSI checks... And SNAP... And Medicare....
It isn't uncommon to see many such middle class retired boomers (60 to 70) with an income of 3K per month, paid off cars and houses, etc.
Don't believe me? Check out the adverts for vacations and such - either they are aimed at seniors or at hipsters. Or Gov't employee bureaucrat types....
Of course, when the EBT cards run dry they will be screwed.
As an aside, I suspect that the pendulum is swinging back - the post boomers will HAVE to re-adopt multi-generational homes, victory gardens, etc. Assuming they don't lose it all when the current system goes pop....

As a boomer I am not sure what to say to this discussion.
The person who started this thread is blaming the wrong individuals.
Jews and the left and one worlders are responsible for this nonsense. And those my age who blindly endorsed the agenda of jews.
The United States has suffered under the agenda of jews and progressives o n the left and right who have worked to undermine a sound society.
The changes were subtle and slow until we hit the tipping point. Jews have been chipping away at the United States for more than a century.
The Universal Moral relativist message of the left Libertines and Jews has taken time. Jews did not come to own Academia, the Press, Madison Avenue and political parties over night.
Boomers were not busy making WHITES less than equal it was jews. While Boomers may have embraced some of that thinking there are many who are members here who did not.
Blaming others is not a solution to our problem, and if that is your focus you will never find the right answers to move forward.

the thing is I know even conservative white racist types- like bikers who are still into alot of hippie stuff like sex,drugs etc. anti establishment. or even religious white guys who are conservative in most respects other then say sex.

Default Re: The Baby Boomer Question?
Idiots. Not all boomers (babies born from 1946 to 1964) were liberals and dope smoking hippies carrying signs and smelling like dirty crotch and armpits. Were babies and young children allowed to vote? You can blame just about every generation for what's gone wrong in America since the Civil War. And what are all the young people doing these days? Listening to Rap, Watching MTV with all it's negro worship while glued to their cell phone texting. Not you though right? What are you doing about things besides blaming other people for your troubles on an internet site? So far, nothing.

Don't take it so personal LL.It's not the conservatives or far right wing that was the problem but as you stated the left/right who did blindly endorse the agenda.
The point is that the tipping point you speak of was largely lead too & created by,along with the Jews,the Silent & the Baby Boomer generations.
And ever since then the post-boomers{my generation}has had to live with the mess that they created.
But you're right,too much blame is not necessary,and it was certainly a gradual process and these generations were also conditioned/brainwashed by the various institutions after WW.2 into that direction.
However,blaming the Jews{and their left/right cronies} for their obviously harmful actions towards our race is just pointing out the truth.

O.K. Here is my opinion: It was not the "young adults" of the 1960s who screwed up Western Civilization. It was the the "Old Guard" generation that preceded it. The "Super-Patriots", who unemployed for ten years prior to World War II, were more then willing to be sent off into the Wild Blue Yonder, to fight and kill and invade and bring down all Europe, for the sake of the the "weak and disadvantaged", while in the same process, beefing up the Soviet Union!
These are the people who gave the Post-War Negro the currancy of rebellion and revolt. This is the generation of the 1965 Immigration Reform Bill. This is the generation that is responsible for the complete, degenerate mess the entire Western World now finds itself in.
Don't blame the kids of the 1960s, we were surrounded by drug dealers and loud, degerate "Rock 'n Roll", and drunken parents, who were not worth their salt . . . .

Come on - do you seriously think every baby-boomer was some sort of hippy/leftist or some such? If most "boomers" are guilty of anything it is probably apathy more than anything else...as opposed to younger generations(my own included) who at far greater numbers actively particpiate in degeneracies galore, and promote still more!
All this hippy/marxists baloney that generation grew up amidst was no more THEIR organic ideas than the race-mixing and homo-philia of today's MTV generations are THEIRS.
These toxic, alien ideas are spread relentlessly, generation after generation since, at least, the second world-war.
Tarring an entire generation as being the "worst" among so many other offenders seems decidedly unfair to say the least.
Haven't done my homework huh? lol. I lived it! what are you talking about?
I stated Clinton's name so it could be used as a time marker. Breaking with the gold standard happened on Nixon's watch. OPEC happened on Carter's watch. (You don't know anything about the OPEC embargo do you? Everything changed after the OPEC thing). Then all the international trade agreements (ergo Ross Perot) which came with Clinton and Bush.
I mention these things to let you know that it has been a constant stream of financial assaults on the American people for the entire 20th century---including the baby boomer years. And I just mentioned a few of them. I didn't mention the hundred's of thousands of people locked out of a mortgage during the Volker years (Reagan). Few could afford a mortgage at 16% or 18%. And how about that 50% tax rate on high income earners? At the time I think that a high income was $100,000.
The people who become president of the US (since Lincoln) have all been in the pockets of the monied powers. The presidents are puppets, including Bill Clinton, all of them do as they are told. To blame them for doing what they have done is like blaming a dog for barking. One day though they will be held accountable for their actions----if not in this lifetime then in the next.
Your second paragraph makes absolutely no sense to me at all. Who didn't appreciate anything? Who was sad about what?
I will say this, unless you are a boomer you have absolutely no real knowledge about being raised by "Greatest Generation". It was not like 'Leave it to Beaver'". That is what people wanted it to be like but that is not the way it was.
The 'greatest generation' did try to make life better for their children and give us the things they never had, just as my generation tried to make life better for their children and give them things we never had. My children likewise do the same. Why is this considered unusual? Every parent wants to give their children more than they had.
"Instead of studying hard science........." lol. I had a choice of becoming a nurse, a teacher or a secretary. That was all that was available, and I chose among the three options. (It looks like you are the one who hasn't done their homework).
Polysci, journalism, etc. all came later. All of the men in my family went into math and/or the hard sciences.
They did put their names in for the draft---and I begrudge no one for trying to avoid VietNam. The draft system ended with VietNam thankgoodness.
I was in my 30s when AARP started up. I really do think you have your years and generations mixed up.
"Largest transfer of wealth" in history huh when inheriting from the greatest generation? Well for some people I'm sure it was like that.
The "wealth" you speak of though came mostly from selling homes into the post-OPEC world that were bought in the pre-OPEC world. It is called inflation and was not real wealth at all.
Most of us however came from modest backgrounds and inherited very little of that "wealth" that you are telling me about.
I have no idea what SNAP is or EBC cards. I don't expect SS to last much longer in it's current form. I have thought that for many, many years---probably since before you were born. I have adjusted my lifestyle accordingly.
The health care system is broken and corrupt. I have gone most of my adult life not having health insurance and not needing it!!! It is amazing the effect that prayer, exercise and a healthy diet has on one's body. I think it best to avoid the healthcare system as much as possible.
I understand your generation being bitter about EVERYTHING that is going on now. I would be angry too! Very angry. But blaming the boomers for your situation is way off base. We didn't create these circumstances.
As the previous poster said, you are blaming the wrong people.
But since you envy the so called "wealth" that you say boomers have you should be salivating over what is coming..........IRAs, 401Ks, savings are going to be decimated. Please go down to the Money section and go to the thread "100% Chance of Monetary Collapse." Go to the 2nd to the last page and read the posts by Disappointed American. Start with post #191. You should be absolutely giddy about all that is posted there.
I have honestly have never really given much thought to the baby boomers but that recent article by Varg Vikernes got me thinking.
Personally, I would consider the cut-off to be 1961 for later generation - 62-64 were 80s generation).
I see a lot of slacker and consumerist behavior from the millenials.
No, not a boomer. Generation X, just after.
Personally, I would consider the cut-off to be 1961 for later generation - 62-64 were 80s generation).
Actually, the boomers could be grouped into three parts. The early boomers ('46-'50) were the most politically minded and idealistic. They really thought they could "change the world". The mid boomers ('51-'56) saw what happened to their older brothers and sisters (think Kent State) and said, "Screw it. Let's party." The later boomers ('57- ) were the segment of our generation most impacted by the social changes that began after WWII. Total party animals, most of them.
I agree with you that anyone who wasn't at least 9-10 y.o. at the time of Woodstock can't be considered a boomer.

not every one but alot more then I hoped.I look for the good in people but even guys that I admire as racists, tough guys, conservatives have weird hippie streaks in them. Like for example I know a guy was a total racist, killed groids in prison(in self defense) during the 70s. He fought for his life and helped save other whites from being raped by the blacks during a prison riot. However, he has this weird narcissism and does off the wall crap. He cheated on his wife(she knew had a gf on the side), let his daughter do whatever she wanted, would go whoring with his son, and have sex with non white women as a sex tourist. So its like man, so much good is in this man but at the same time so much is wrong aswell. Ive looked for conservative racist elders for wisdom, and some are wise in terms of alot of things, but so many seem to have this common lack of self implication,a massive yet fragile ego, vague notions of obligation, indulgent hedonism, and for just for the sake of it, a stubborn contrarianism that will never admit fault.. just very neurotic in a nutshell. As far as I can tell this eccentricity is very common in their generation and more so in their children but without any of the positive characteristics.
honestly do you think it makes me feel good to know my dad was a pot smoking hippie who banged an asian chick at one point before marrying my mom? He was the one who raised me to proud to be white, but when he told me this I was shocked at the complete lack of shame in his expression. mind you Ive love 60s music and older films my whole life so it isnt like this is some superficial cultural gap between generations. Its just the conflicted feelings I get from a generation who created so much beauty but at the same time have alot of darkness that is very unapparent at first glance. The more I realize my life and countless others were in the hands of someone with this mentality the more depressed I get. Alot of things in retrospect that I ignored when I was younger suddenly come together. My father didnt really teach me to be a man. I had to learn the hard way on my own.
You certainly know a lot about the music and trends of my generation!
hee hee - sounds of jr. high/high school!
I see a lot of slacker and consumerist behavior from the millenials.

Derp Derp. . Dem Millenials are Consumerist. . Derp Derp
Millenials are consumerist because we own Iphones and Galaxies, but 'Old Economy Steve' was able to afford a house and a new automobile at an entry position job. I think we all know who the consumerist generation was. Boomers couldn't save for a retirement and thus they're all working pass 65 now.

Jesus man, that was the greatest description of their generation to date. I'm a millennial and have seen right through their boomer crap. But, have never seen it presented so adequately. The dull expression on their face with a hint of know it all sass basically sums up the boomer generation.
Then again millennials are dumb as **** as well. The majority have that hippy mentality; the accepting liberal mentality that doesn't know ****.
"O give Jerome a chance, he's still feeling the anguish of slavery 250 years later."
The dull expression on their face with a hint of know it all sass basically sums up the boomer generation.
Does it look anything like this?
Look, you can generalize all you want, as long as you realize NOT EVERYONE is going to fit the pattern. I don't hold myself up as an example because I was always the odd man out. I could never stand hippies and was a crypto National Socialist most of my life. I used to look at these human wrecks lolling about on the lawn at college with their tattered dirty jeans and long greasy hair, surrounded by marijuana smoke and think, "This is the future of our country?"
But their greatest crime is what they did to THEIR children, or didn't do as the case might be. If parenting required a license, 90% of my generation would've had theirs revoked. Children should NEVER be allowed to have children, and that's what they were-- irresponsible, selfish, spoiled rotten brats who never grew up.
you guys started f ucking around and destroying the nuclear family. not everything is about money. no older generation forced "free love" on you. you guys decided to **** where you eat on your own by throwing away traditional values, ruining women, and neglecting children. not to mention the drug culture you guys created. all the hippie bull****. she probably became someone's mother. how wonderful. I just think you guys talked a big game in the 60s and ultimately when you got jobs and money realized it turned out to all be bull****. you didnt love eachother half as much as you claimed and the future generation of children suffered. you reverted to pretty much all the materialism you accused the older generation of but became much more selfish,broke up families, and did alot of coke. if it werent for the fact that pretty much all baby boomers have this self righteous streak about them it would be more tolerable.
According to you everyone of that era was either a hippie or a druggie. That simply wasn't the case.
Your statements range from speculation and subjectivism to emotionalism. You are very short on the facts.
You have every right to be angry about the current state of affairs but blaming this on the boomers is wrong. We did not cause or create the current set of circumstances.
Hippies were at work doing what they did best. Destroying things. Most of my family participated in counter-demonstrations during the demonstrations at the main post office in Chicago. The vast majority of hippies came from the upper or upper-middle classes. . The majority of working and plain old middle-class kids had Vietnam to contend with, and if they didn't go there, were too busy working
I was raised on the south side of Chicago--There were no hippies in our neighborhood, or if there were, they were miving fast and staying low-they would have gotten their asses beat and their heads shaved. There were huge segments of the population that had no part in their little "revolution" at all, and it is their overwhelming arrogance that leads them to claim they were the entire "sixties generation" now. SDS, CORP, SNCC, all of them were tied together and marched in lockstep, and they are the ones that took the hippie gospel to the kids on campus.One thing people tend to forget is that the hippies were a TINY percentage of the kids back then.
They got all the publicity, and now, it seems whenever you here of The Sixties it's to talk about the hippies, but there really weren't too many of them. They were, almost exclusively, over-privileged college kids, or dropouts, who couldn't handle the idea of assuming real responsibilities
LET ME emphasize the vast majority were from upper middle class well off at colleges all over the country engrossed in all kinds of decadence, promiscuous sex, drugs, race mixing .
The war on our race has been going on since 1913 and the fed--Brown V board is the template the left learned to social change from the bench--and no boomers were on the Warren court. So there is plenty of blame to go around for the post WW2 war on White people.
After reading this whole thread, I have to repeat what a previous poster said: "the Jews have been chipping away at us for a hundred years". Whites from many generations were deceived-- they were fooled into promoting Zionist interest without ever knowing it.
The attack on White minds has not ceased in almost a century. How could such an effort not be effective? The Jews have created a new normal. Those who fell for their lies, and those who have simply been born into a world where up is down and right is left, don't have a clue about the true eventual consequence: the ruin of civilization. I refuse to blame anyone but the Jews. They knew what they were doing by deceiving us; their words and deeds were fraught with purpose.
Placing blame on fellow Whites does nothing but divide us. DO NOT perpetuate our division if you want to see us survive.
In the 60s prior to the OPEC embargo, a 3/2 house could be bought for 10 or $15,000. A modest, stripped down car cost approximately $2000.
A decent hourly wage was approximately $5.00/hr and a decent annual income was approximately $10,000/year. You could live a simple lifestyle, support a family of 5 on that income and provide for all your needs. This was the time of the single family income earner.
Then the OPEC Embargo of the 1970s!
After the OPEC Embargo inflation took off like crazy. By 1990 the full impact was seen. Multiply every pre-OPEC valuation by 10 and that was what that item cost in the post-OPEC world.
That same 3/2 house for 10,000 in the 1960s cost $100,000 in the 1990s,
The car for 2,000 in the 60s cost $20,000 in the 90s.
It should follow then that the 1960s $5.00/hr wage went to $50.00/hr, right? And the 1960s annual income of 10,000 went to $100,000 in the 1990s, right?
Wrong. Dead wrong. Wages went up only half as much. That $5.00/hr wage from the 1960s went to $25.00/hr in the 1990s. The $10,000/yr
annual income of the 1960s went to $50,000/yr in the 1990s.
By the time the 1990s rolled around it took TWO family income earners to live the life of the single family income earner in the 1960s.
This was NOT the result of the Boomers driving up the deficeit. How ridicules. This was caused by the inflation brought on by the OPEC Cartel and the dollar being valued against floating currencies.
Born, raised, and have lived my life in central florida. So you know I feel your pain. Someone on here said forget about it and move on. I disagree. If history isn't learned, it is destine to repeat its self. Yes they should be held accountable for their crimes. As should be the government that allowed it. The respect me cause I'm old mentality, has ate at me my whole life. Top that off With a northern attitude, and hippizum. These people need to be held responceable. Peace, love, happiness can be archived in a white only society.

So you have absolutely no responsibility for the current state of affairs? What is so emotional about acknowledging that you guys decided to make some pretty radical changes to society? How are movements created by you guys like the sexual revolution or the drug trade subjective? A younger generation thought they knew better than the one before and promoted a shift in values and mentality. Young people are doing the same thing to day and they will have serious consequences in the future.
By the same token don't put the sum total of our woes on the backs of the boomers. While I agree many of the root causes rest on them(especially the older boomers) They just happened to come along at a time of unprecedented social upheaval and unrest. We also lost the lst vestiges of the White media--to the upheaval caused by Vietnam and boomers who embraced the brainwashing and moral bankruptcy perpetrated by our evil enemies that took over the airwaves and collages . . I want to emphasize again it was those in the upper middle class to rich Whites at colleges all over the country. I watched their antics they were engrossed in all kinds of egotism and decadence, degeneracy promiscuous sex, drugs, race mixing Etc..
I would say this epoch of White elites were most actively absorbed in a class war against working, blue collar Whites, by the way, they demonstrated the Vietnam War, alleging they wanted to "bring our boys home" and then expectorating on us when we returned home alive. They were all active with radical black and mestizo groups, too. This was the epoch that urged for and got the most abortions.
However they grew out of what was going down in the late forties to fifties--N!gger loving beatniks-hipsters etc--Brown V board--integration of the armed forces and major league baseball--the communist fronted and backed Martin Lucifer Coon un-civil forced integration movement--any half wit could have seen the sixties coming--all it took was the trigger (Vietnam) and draft dodging cowardly communist scum and the jews to kick the upheaval ball off.
Sometimes I wonder if I was switched at birth because how could I be born to such stupid out of touch parents. They had post war prosperity handed to them on a silver platter and grew up in 90% White America. My millennial generation and generation z are going to have to clean up theirs and the so-called "greatest generation" mess.

Heh. That's what the boomers say about their parents too!
Heh. That's what the boomers say about their parents too!
Well then. If a generation is to blame then it should be (excluding the likes of George Lincoln Rockwell) the GI generation.
Heh. That's what the boomers say about their parents too!
Im pretty sure boomers made it cool to hate your parents. They became worse than what they hated. At least the older generation could look themselves in the mirror every day.

Good friggin grief. I am a boomer and I have worked all of my adult life. As a matter of real fact I had my first job at 14 busing dishes. I paid my own way through college. Nothing was handed to me. I have had to pick myself up and dust myself off more than once in my life.
If you are headed through life busy blaming others for where you are at I can tell you one thing, that attitude will show up in everything, and you WILL NEVER be successful.
Each time I have encountered difficulty in my own life it was of my own making.
Granted these are tough financial times that is because a bunch of progressives in both parties have foolishly participated in Keynesian economics and green house environmental whackos are carrying the day. Our national leadership has foolishly traded jobs for friends. And two wars that were not on budget are part of our nation's budgetary lunacy and our government is massively in debt. My representatives voted for none of this.
My very wise grandfather (father's side) who died at 98 lived long enough to see Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. He used to say, "YOU make your life the way that you live it." It took me a very long time and lots of hard life lessons to understand that.
Go ahead and be a victim...jews love victims, so does the left. Victims never have successful lives, and their problems are always from their perspective some one elses fault.
This post will likely make you pretty angry with me...your circumstances are not my fault. Twice in my life my 401 K went from a nice nest egg to nothing. Stuff happens, and when the market was falling you could not get to your funds to move them.
America won WWII with it's infrastructure intact. The baby boomers were the major beneficiaries. That is not their fault.
Also, WWII and the supposed Holocaust was the best thing to ever happen to the Jews. Now, they had the perfect means and sympathy to embed themselves into education, politics, media and the general restructuring of American culture. Of course, this was all aimed perpetuating their existence at the expense of White culture.
Multiculturalism and egalitarianism are an easy sell in post-WWII times of plenty. This is not the fault of baby boomers, growing up in the perfect storm of Jewish treachery and indoctrination.
The MIC and the Cold War hawks helped to hasten the economic demise of this country. Nixon and Reagan did their best to destroy it too by leaving the gold standard and starting a war against a noun. Zionism has had some part in this, though I'm not certain how much. Zionism seems like a more modern ill in our government today.
They are to blame for letting so much go down the drain , but who are we to judge ?
Are we (I'm 27 with 2 babies ) not letting just as much go ? Look at our piers. Our generation is even worse then that of our parents. I don't know about FL but it seems as if 8/10 whites I know couldn't give a damn less about our people and 2/10 support our own genocide (all socialoligy studients)
This thread was not to say every baby boomer of course not . I am just saying being a young white man i have already given up on the idea of basic life, my generations lides are disposable. I dont understand our elders having such a liberal attitude golf course atitude. Iits pretty clear to me its going to take my generation blood to clean up the mess ano There is no excuse in the world why its gotten to the point it has ! Everyone should be ashamed of themselves! My generation is Hall worthless we had old uncle tv as babysitter. I just dont see anyone making it and no one seems to care!
I'm a proud father of tree kids ( twins 6 month and son 10y.) its enough from me for my white ras.
Question : what do you think about Holland(europe) there are now more than 50% new born babys black than white , how far does it go?

I didnt make up that part about baby boomers making it cool to hate their parents. My dad is a baby boomer and I'm friends with lots of baby boomers who have told me the exact same thing. You know that song "tears of rage" by the band? well here is what the guy who wrote it had to say :
"You know the punky attitude that had to do with music - hate your mother and stab your father. It’s kind of a trend of some sort, and this (the next of kin photo)was a statement that we weren’t there. We don’t hate our mothers and fathers. It (Tears of Rage)’s from a parent’s point of view. So what if your parents did you wrong? Maybe they did, but so what? Everybody’s doing what they can do, right or wrong. I’m just tired of hearing all this - that little girl, Janis Ian. You know, Jim Morrison and all those people. I just think that they’re a drag. Even if that is their situation, who cares?"
I'm not saying your are all bad or that alot of these flaws are conscious or with ill intent. I just grew up in a pretty traditional religious upbringing and the older I get the more disgusted I am with the lack of character I see in so many people my own age. When I look at their parents it isnt a mystery why they turned out that way. I tried at first to look to older people as some sort of source of wisdom but they just aren't made of the same stuff as my grandfathers generation. You notice how I have no problem being frank about how full of crap most people my age are? Well, that's called self implication. Without it problems not only never get solved but continue to fester indefinitely,because even if one had the means to address it, their ego would be to fragile to even acknowledge it's existence in the first place.
Honestly, you could say your worst about my generation and I'd probably agree with you. I dont take it personally unless my own actions are accused of reflecting those shortcoming. If that did happen to be the case, I'd gladly admit I screwed up. This is because I try to define myself according to specific values as opposed to associating with a demographic over something superficial like age. The problem is boomers do tend to stick together to defend the whole even if they disagree with whatever particular aspect is getting criticized.
It just seems no matter what, I can never get a baby boomer to simply say " Yeah, I guess my generation made some mistakes" without making an excuse or diverging responsibility. Its so puzzling that the generation who did everything has become so frustrated by the younger generation making the same mistakes. Its no doubt because as far as people my age are concerned, they never acknowledged there was any down side to their lifestyle to begin with. In fact, alot of people my age have romantic notions about the time period.
I never asked you to take responsibility for my life. That would be giving you too much credit. In all serious though Im not offended at all by what you said. However, the economy and jobs is not what I'm talking about at all. So please dont assume I'm just being critical to compensate for some sort of insecurity or just to have someone to blame. Just to be clear both my parents graduated from college,one of which was ivy league.They both have their masters. They both have well paying jobs, and I was raised in a stable middle class household. I graduated from a top university and have no criminal record. I'm not exactly in a bad position. What got me into WN was the casual hypocrisy I experienced in the booming 90's with regards to race. I was flabbergasted at the complete refusal of our society to address racism against white people. I'm not surprised because it is often in such easy times that people become prone to selfishness and moral relativism. "Hey I have everything I want, why should I rock the boat to help others." Now that the economy is down and times are harder people expect more of others out of self benefit rather than concern for our collective welfare. Honestly I'd rather live in a harder time if it means a higher moral standard from my peers. I'd rather my children had less disposable income and an abundance of character than the converse. My chief concern is values, because they could easily be forgotten and never rediscovered. IF that happens no amount of money can undo that. We'll just have another group of sheep blindly doing it the wrong things with complete self assurance because they assume the current nature of their experience was always the case.
I agree with your grandfathers quote that taking control and responsibility of your own destiny is important. However, that does not disregard having some consideration for who and what is going on around you. That also does not justify this trend among many of your generation of evoking group solidarity when you happen to be in need or in a position to benefit from it, only to turn around and tell them to "mind their own business" when your actions negatively affect them or "that's not my problem" when you are expected to reciprocate at some point. I've noticed a very overt correlation regarding when "our" problem (like the jews) becomes "your" problem, especially when that problem necessitates some form of culpability.
The fact is, that as cunning as the jews are, it takes two to perpetuate a line of bull****. One possibility is that white people really are a bunch of simple simons who just didnt know any better. What I think is the case is that the 60s generation saw the jews ability overtly evoke both a sense of obligation from others aswell as a claim of entitlement to a position of social influence from which to act as the central moral authority, without taking responsibility for anything, without having any allegiance other then to themselves, all without compromising getting what they want. I think they saw the apparent benefits that could be gained by behaving in such a manner and adopted it as their own. So if anyone is allowing themselves to be a victim, it is WN who act as if the jews magically brainwashed such a large portion of our society into doing drugs,having indiscriminate sex, and turning their backs on their culture and family.
In actuality, they did drugs and practiced free love because they enjoyed doing so. They broke off ties from their parents because those traditional family values of personal responsibility and mutual obligation were too much of a hastle considering they could easily find work and thus didnt need to rely on their parents for financial support anymore. You make it sound as if being a single working 20 something with no family to support is a position of sacrifice. Why do you make it sound as if taking care of your self or making your life better makes you a martyr or is some indication of good character in itself? Lots of people manage to acquire the discipline necessary to succeed in their respective endeavors and still have poor character. Honestly, I'd kill to be able to support a family pumping gas like your generation was able to do. I paid for my own education aswell and I guarantee I paid alot more than you did.
When most babyboomers were children their parents were not divorced,they were not junkies, their father was a responsible provider and their mother was a respectable lady. Growing up, literally every kid I knew had parents who were either broken up or were in the process of doing so. I honestly thought I was weird for having my parents still together. When I was in 7th-8th grade, I went to school in a very wealthy safe area. Despite both of those things drugs,drinking,and sex was common place in boys and girls my age. Sometimes a sex video or a naked picture of one of my classmates would circulate around school. I also remember hearing about a retarded girl who was molested in the bathroom by a few boys the year before. When I was 13 kids my age were popping pills, having unprotected oral and anal sex,smoking, and thats just off the top of my head. They had unsupervised house parties on the weekends because their parents were never there. If their folks weren't on vacation, they were out partying themselves, or driving drunk. I remember coming back from the dance seeing a flaming wreck on the side of the road, tons of people getting pulled over and arrested, and almost getting blind sided by some drunk idiot in an suv. We cant deny the importance of creating an environment that is generally healthy for all white people rather than just ignoring it to focus getting ahead yourself.
It sounds from your grandfather that you grow up in at least reasonably close family with good values. I can relate because I'm very close to both my parents and all my family. However, when I became aware of how many families are as distant as strangers it became apparent to me that I was so lucky to be part of this intense love we share. Much more lucky than to have anything people acquire through wealth to fill that void inside of them. I think talking about grand political or economic contexts only detracts from everyone's own personal shortcomings just as I feel talking about career ambitions and money convolutes both the moral issue at hand aswell as the detrimental effects a singular focus (even positive things) on the self can have towards other people.

My husbands children are your age or older and while he and his wife divorced both he and his wife worked hard to make sure that their children had what they needed. All three of his children (now quite grown and in their late mid 30's (two of them) and the oldest will be 40 next year. They are all stable and doing well.
If you had stated you were disappointed with Boomer leadership, I would have been in complete agreement with you. We were perhaps the best educated generation to move through corporate ranks, to acquire government jobs, and elective office. Clinton and Bush who were both boomer Presidents both were less than stellar presidents. They both spent too much money. Congressional Representatives and Senators from my generation are clearly nothing to rave about. Dismal failures.
And it was my generation that went nuts with drugs (I had my stint as a hippy but it ended with my college career).
Many of our lives were a mess many of my friends have been divorced and remarried. I blame nearly all of the cultural influences on the radical left and jews. That influence has grown exponentially each year I have been an adult.

So the boomers screwed it up. What are you crying pussies going to do fix it besides whine about the generation before you?
Like LL I worked my butt off to get where I am today. No one gave me a damned thing not even those great generation parents. 
hey its no problem. I'm glad we can reach an understanding. That is good that your husband remained civil with his wife for the sake of his kids. The problem though is that alot of people don't. They overtly hate eachother and their kids grow up with that as their only reference point. I understand that sometimes it is warranted but overall I dont like how accepted breaking up a family is perceived in this day and age. It seems people want as many options as possible and as many opportunities to escape the repercussions of their actions. The end result is too often a convoluted mess of contradictory feelings that seems to leave people feeling quite empty. I cant help but believe there isnt something better. I think if people just took their lives a little more seriously they'd be able to stand by their decisions and feel good about it. I guess I'm old fashioned but divorce really rubs me the wrong way. Compared to the genuine love you find in a life long relationship with someone who cares about you, this guarded compromised type of relationship trend is just a waste of time and emotion.
Excellent point, excellent question.
American was taken over in 1913 by the banking cartel and the destruction of white Anglo-Saxon Protestant America followed in the 1960s. That was the plan all along. Follow the historical time line from 1913 onward, fake money, depression, wars, bankers games, recession, inflation, deflation, people manipulation, currency manipulation, it is all there but the pattern, the reasoning behind it all could not be seen clearly till the 1980s.
Without a doubt the devil opened the door to hedonism in the late 1960s and we all walked through it. Some partook more than others. The birth-control pill and the launch of Feminism is what really started the unravelling (which was actually the early 70s). Everything went downhill from there.
Feminism, a jew invention, is a hideous monster that has done more to destroy this country than anything else. But please be aware that the entirety of the social construct delivered to the youth of the 1960s/1970s was a jew controlled, jew devised program of indoctrination and brain- washing.
How did it happen that so many boomers ate the forbidden fruit? You are not going to like the answer.........because America had lost its moral compass, because America had ceased to be Christian.
No one had the opportunity to "vote" for the Civil Rights act. If it had been put up for a vote it would have been resoundingly rejected by the people, 100% against! No one was for it and the traitors in congress knew that. That is why it was rammed down our throats by congressional action just like obamacare was rammed down our throats by congressional action.
The real question is, why did it stand?
Our Christian ancestors knew that Biblical Law forbids race-mixing, miscegenation, and interaction with the other races on any level. Read the laws of the chartres of the 13 colonies for confirmation. All the Biblical laws that governed the colonies are there in the chartres including the racial laws. Homosexuality, fornication, sexual deviancy, licwntuous behavior, etc. all were all listed in these charters as criminal acts.
Even though all of these laws were still on the books, by the turn of the 19th/20th century America had ceased to be a Christian nation. So when the Civil Rights act was passed, no longer being a Christian nation, what could the people say? "You can't do that because.....because.....because we're white!!!@! That sure worked well didn't it?
No. The only thing that could have stopped it then, and could stop it all now is for white men and women to return to their Christian roots and assert God's Laws, claiming His name. Just like our ancestors did.
Every other filthy, vile, disgusting activity that arose in that era came about for the same reason. There was no moral base because there was no Christian base and hedonism had its way.
It has only gotten worse since.
Some posting here seem to think that the 1960s were a time of prosperity. That is what we are told by the media too but that is a lie. The "prosperity" of the 1960s was an illusion. The WWII debt was huge and had to be paid. We didn't have the dollars so we paid off our debt in gold. It took 2 decades (1945-1965) to pay it all off and it depleted our gold supply. Then the silver coins were recalled. Then we officially went broke. Dollars were printed with no associated value and inflation started creeping up (in the 1960s).
During that time perod the Oil and Petroleum Exporting Countriesl firmly expressed to the American people that they did not like that the oil companies kept so much of the profit for themselves so the mideastern countries repriced the cost of oil and told the oil companies how much of the money they could have. America said no. Then the oil embargo.
We capitulated and a barrel of oil went from approx. $8/barrel to approx.
$15/barrel. America went into shock and inflation started bigtime from there.
To maintain stability of the dollar the petro dollar was invented (all oil could be bought and sold only in US dollars) and the dollar became the world's reserve currency. Oil substituted for gold in giving the dollar value.
That was why we went after Saddam Hussein. He was buying and selling in Euros, not dollars. That is why we went after Quadaffi and every other oil country over there that we wrecked, because those countries went with Euros and rejected the bankng cartel. There are only 3 countries left now which deal in other currencie and haven't come under the yoke of the banking cartel,
and they are Syria, Iran and Venzuela.
Oil/Money/Banking interests is why a satellite state called Israel was set-up in the
mid-east, to protect the concerns of the banking/oil cartel. That is also why a false religion called JudeoChristianity was launched in the 1960s, to brainwash the previously Christian West into believing that Bible prophecy was being fulfilled so no one would think to hard about anything. They even threw in a fake rapture to make people feel good!
The American dollar is a fiat currency, made up out nothing with no intrinsic value. Historically most fiat currencies have not lasted longer than 100 years. This is now the 100th year of the American fiat dollar.
Something to think about.
With the moral degeneracy that abounds today it will not be pretty when it ends.
Sorry, I am a bit late to this discussion and have not read everything. However, I believe the BB generation was quite simply the first spoiled American generation. The first generation to grow up middle class in industrial America. The first American generation to enjoy the luxuries of the suburban houses, cars, appliances, TV, Rock 'n Roll, high school education being common-place etc.
If they would have just opened their eyes they would have realized that they were already part of a revolution.....without slapping the generation that handed that to them in the face. They were too spoiled and quite possibly too many. They needed something to bitch about, so they bitched about quite possibly the best upbringing ever.
I too am a baby boomer, born in 1961. Don,t blame the boomers
for everything, I blame the feminists
I don't see how this thread is at all productive. This blame game is exactly what the jews like to see and serves to divert blame from the creatures who are the root cause. Are there boomers that are ignorant assholes? You bet, but their ignorance is more than matched by their juniors. Shall we spend time condemning them all? This is exactly what the jews would like to see. Not only the brown and black hordes laying siege to our formerly White societies, but Whites themselves attacking and blaming each other. There's plenty of blame to go around for these uninformed, ignorant, buffoons, but it is the jew, specifically, who has manipulated and orchestrated every evil thing that has befallen White societies.
Read the following admissions from an arrogant jew, Howard Rosenthal, Admin. Asst. to Senator Jacob Javitts, and if that's not enough, read the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, an accurate blueprint which lays out every aspect of jew aggression against the whole gentile world, to which most of their evil deeds have already been accomplished.
"We Jews have put issue upon issue to the American people. Then we promote both sides of the issue as confusion reigns. With their eye's fixed on the issues, they fail to see who is behind every scene. We Jews toy with the American public as a cat toys with a mouse." ....
"Our power has been created through the manipulation of the national monetary system. We authored the quotation. 'Money is power.' As revealed in our master plan, it was essential for us to establish a private national bank. The Federal Reserve system fitted our plan nicely since it is owned by us, but the name implies that it is a government institution. From the very outset, our purpose was to confiscate all the gold and silver, replacing them with worthless non-redeemable paper notes. This we have done!"....
"At first, by controlling the banking system we were able to control corporation capital. Through this, we acquired total monopoly of the movie industry, the radio networks and the newly developing television media. The printing industry, newspapers, periodicals and technical journals had already fallen into our hands. The richest plum was later to come when we took over the publication of all school materials. Through these vehicles we could mold public opinion to suit our own purposes. The people are only stupid pigs that grunt and squeal the chants we give them, whether they be truth or lies." ....
"There is no such thing as the silent majority because we control their cry and hue. The only thing that exists is an unthinking majority and unthinking they will remain, as long as their escape from our rigorous service is the opiate of our entertainment industry. By controlling industry, we have become the task masters and the people the slaves. When the pressure of daily toil builds to an explosive degree, we have provided the safety valve of momentary pleasure. The television and movie industries furnish the necessary temporary distraction. These programs are carefully designed to appeal to the sensuous emotions, never to the logical thinking mind. Because of this, the people are programmed to respond according to our dictates, not according to reason."
So, it is due to relentless jew manipulation that America has become a masochistic, degenerate, rootless world that pisses on its traditions and heritage to elevate perversity, mindless consumerism and ethnic self-hatred to the highest of virtues. The jews that have complete control of the mechanisms of power are ruthless, vicious, completely ammoral, and are greedy beyond belief. Jews are the sole manipulators of this upside down world we live in and have been for quite some time. Jews are the masters of inversion; their formula is a reversal of natural order. You'd think more Whites would rebel against these destructive, obviously inverted policies which steal our rights away. For those Whites who have, without objection, allowed this inversion to take place, I can only attribute descriptions such as, traitorous, extreme cowardice, jew-like greed, dumbed down, apathetic, and/or stupid, extreme cowardice, jew-like greed, and certainly to most in our government, traitorous.
So, let's put the blame exactly where it belongs -- on those powerful, evil, parasites who are truly responsible: banking jews, corporate jews, government jews, advisor jews, faggot jews, entertainment jews, education jews, medicine jews, lawyer jews, judge jews, policy jews, journalist jews, religion jews, publisher jews, porno jews, and news jews.
