Solid points that I agree with, but the constant pitting of boomers against the younger generations seems like an obvious divide and conquer strategy. Make the plebs fight among themselves instead of fighting those in power. Additionally the goal is to make the young people demand more government handouts to level the playing field, thereby perpetuating the unfairness and selfishness that will plague future generations.
As usual the old way of doing things was better, where we didn't have social security and people had children to look after them in old age and saved their money to hire maids and give an inheritance to their children who looked after them. But government intervention and technology loosened family bonds while promoting selfishness and short term thinking. Traditional values need to be regained if we are to solve the problem.
How do you expect that to happen when young men are unable to get women?
I did say traditional values need to be regained. That would also solve most women being sluts who will never be marriage material and men gravitating to porn instead of women.
There is no regaining of traditional values by means except forcing women into submission
Forcing people makes them resist and makes them resentful once subdued. People never needed to force the women into submission in the past. Women generally knew what was good for them, which meant having children and having men to protect and provide for them. But technology and the ideologies that grew up around it have enabled the delusion that there are no substantial differences between men and women and that it is proper for women to work and be independent. None of that was even thinkable before technology minimized the importance of physical strength.
Maybe initially, but they'll be accustomed to subservience eventually.
Thousands of years of philosophers would beg to differ.
Technology didn't change much in that regard. they're has always been low strength work that needed done and there are plenty of jobs that still require physical strength that women don't have, and they have no interest in even trying to get those jobs,
Physical strength isn't just about work. It's also about security. Women could always work as tanners, cleaners, cow milkers, crop planters and so on, but they still needed men to provide them physical protection as well as children. And it was shameful not to have a man or children.
The government provides security, men aren't allowed to do anything except die.
Both my parents abandoned the religions they were raised in, what does that have to do with either technology or the government?
Do you parents have health insurance? That is a recent technology that used to be covered by charity, ie the church. If they didn't have, now state sponsored, healthcare, they may have stuck around.
Were they raised in government schools and instructed 10hrs a day to doubt their religion and hate their ancestors? Government.
Were they constantly bombarded by propaganda encouraging a hedonistic lifestyle and liberalism? Technology.
Were they members of an insular community comprised of families that traced their lineage hundreds of generations in the same geographic location or were they the products of suburbs, globalism, and integration? Technology AND government.
I never said your parents abandoning their religions was due to technology or government. It sure could have been but that wasn't what I was saying. But the replacement of God, religion and a broadly unified belief system with materialism and divided belief systems was surely another factor loosening family bonds while promoting selfishness and short term thinking.
Property ownership becoming the new aristocracy will be very real, and property taxes are going to skyrocket ( for select groups) to enforce it. This is all aligned with the “you will own nothing” economic plan.
Governments are well ahead of this with massive "inheritance" taxes. As usual, they young people who get ahead will be the ones whose parents operate outside the rules.
And a certain group that frequently doesn't have to abide by those rules.
In this article by Russ Greene, he notes just how much money is being drained from the young and given to elderly retirees, including retired millionaires, for such necessary items as golf balls and horseback riding.
