This all started with an idiot post by Chris Rufo that "the economy is strong and income has never been higher." Why would someone in the Trump coalition say something so retarded not a couple months removed from the election? Because people are still mad that about legally flooding the country with Indians. archive
Chris then kicked off the party in earnest by insisting that everything is doing great because someone, somewhere got a $70k job at Panda Express. archive
This is basically "full employment." The Panda Express near my house is offering $70k/yr plus benefits for the assistant manager. You can make $100k/yr working at Chipotle for a few years and working up to store manager.
People are talking about H-1B foreigners replacing American engineers AND THIS IS YOUR INPUT IN THE CONVERSATION??

Boomercon influencer "Wanye Burkett" had a Helen of Troy moment that kicked this off (he deleted) (archive)
I literally don't care if the entire country burns down and everyone I love dies, that would be better than giving an inch to "right wing" 24-year-olds who are indistinguishable from progressives except they hate immigrants

Matt Walsh appears, of course. No boomercon situation would be complete without the Daily Wire's Ron Swanson showing up to give us the astroturfed bearded family man position archive

Reminder that Chris just hired a porn star lib for a $300k journalist position (archive)

My absolute favorite part is Rufo retweeting a guy who did exactly what he's recommending (worked his way up to manager position in fast food) without reading the whole thread where the guy says it was a horrible experience that he would only wish on his worst enemies archive
If Vivek's "Saved by the Bell" post was his Waterloo, this is the Con Inc Pearl Harbor. The entire conservagrifter alliance turned out to get decimated on X. Bottom line is, nobody would be taking issue with "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" except the people preaching that want to import foreigners to replace the people they're talking to!!
"Learn to code" has now become "learn to shovel fried rice." Amazing economy!!
Wow. That thread is an absolute goldmine for soundbites from neoliberals in conservative clothing. I keep wanting to pick one part out to repost for visibility and comedy but there's actually too many, so I was eventually just left scrolling while flabbergasted. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns a million men into nazis.
My lasting take aways:
the absolute religious fervour that the 'broadminded classical liberal' descends into once you introduce the possibility of deporting their based hardworking brown immigrants or their descendants, as with Wayne's outburst.
how all of this is enabled by latent feminism and boomers' resentment of their sons. There's a disturbing pattern, impossible to unsee once noticed, that these fucks will wriggle endlessly in order to spin a narrative of expectation management and harsh competition for men, but when it comes to women they still have the participation prize parade lined up, and suddenly you remember where all the 100k/year remote working fake corporate jobs are actually going. Rufo employing a random former pornstar is an extreme example, but this mindset of feminist boomers who hate their sons has apparently been destroying us for nearly a century.
Bruh, you're a racist idiot. Without immigrants, who's going to pick our fruit, bruh? Who's going to clean my toilet? You're too busy quoting "Mein Kampf" with Nick Fuentes to think about the big picture. Just imagine all the sweet, sweet Latin pussy you can score from desperate Latinas looking for an easy path to citizenship? Ask your landscaper to introduce you to his daughter, bruh! 😎
