You can't put a group of people defined by being born in an 18 year period into a category like you're trying to do.... Try to exert some influence in the right direction when you get a chance.
In my family (not the other poster) we have no ability to influence when the older generation.
They watch the perceived "authority figure" on tv, use it to jockey for position amongst each other. There's not much space left for us that doesn't threaten their sense of losing control to their "below them" children.
I've been able to convince my older family of this or that, or convince them something they're pushing is bad before, but all that happens is they go back home to watching their media and debating amongst themselves and come back just more enraged that I disagreed with their group consensus - who's fundamental center is the big screen they watch every day.
With them captured by the big screen there seems to be no room left to influence them.
“The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.”
― Adolf Hitler
“If the older generation can not get accustomed to us, we shall take their children away from them and rear them as needful to the Fatherland.”
Adolf Hitler, June 1933
“The whole function of education is to create a Nazi.”
Bernhard Rust, Nazi education minister, February 1938
Now hitler also says stuff like this:
“Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction.”
Adolf Hitler
So who knows, but politicians obsess with youth first because of the drive for political power.
I have a Boomer parent. They don't matter any more, they are dying off. They are mostly totally oblivious to what is really going on in the world anyway, as most of them still think the country they grew up in still exists.
I have boomer relatives and while all this is true it is exactly why they are so dangerous in politics.
They want to keep pushing the "anti racism" narrative because in their head they still live in a time when 89% of the country was white so being "anti white" had no meaningful affect.
They easily push the trans narrative because they've lost their sexuality because of their age and they prefer to live in a situation where everyone else has to so they don't have to feel bad about it.
They're like a political terminator, they just keep going and going and going and nothing is going to stop them - not even accomplishing their goals, or the results of what they're doing being bad.
My overly optimistic side wants to believe that they want to back and forth warfare between the 2 sides to end, and by removing the personalities that drive them people will stop obsessing over politics and go back to living real life.
Like I said, probably overly optimistic.
It's a good article - tldr: the left needs a "repressed" group to champion but they've run out of groups to do it with.
Like any article it's missing a few points but, no one reads 10 page essays on every possible angle anyways.
I think this may be mainly the problem for democratic politicians. They'd prefer to pivot to some new topic but they've run out of stuff to pivot to so they just keep rehashing over and over and over again.
The fundamentals of the two parties.
conservative: doesn't like change
liberal: likes change
Extremist liberals will burn down their own house just for the mental stimulation of rebuilding it. Often practical concerns intercede - so they'll turn to burning down your house in order to rebuild it.
The problem with extremist conservatives is they'll just let everything rot. Something is broken? Well fixing it would mean "change" and they don't want any of that. Any conservative party always has the issue that it's really really bad at recruiting new worthwhile people without an external event or something forcing it to. Becomes weak over time.
Every time I hear about Tate it's from the left who's obsessed with him.
He has the same energy as the things middle aged women usually watch - daytime soaps, talk shows like maury, etc.
I can't decide if I'm out of touch or whether it's accurate to say the obsession with him is mostly from the left.
Honestly at this point this kind of behavior is almost a relief in comparison.
A straight man who wants to see a woman's huha is almost normal compared to the "target your kids and train them to cut off their genitals" kind of stuff.
You're not responding to the actual comment, it's not about whether the exact trump election was influenced, it's that it only takes a tiny number of people - as few as just 1 person in the right place - to completely change the entire countries election results with a computer.
Dunno about that, the one 3 times ago was definitely a white dude in an expensive car.
A few others I'm fairly sure it was a white dude driving a pickup but only be 100% sure it was a pickup.
Last dude in a pickup who I could see was a black guy....before that it looked like it was an asian guy bizarrely enough.
Last person who was driving "recklessly" rather than deliberately aggressively was a woman.
Dunno, both the "trans" people I've known in real life were very calm and simply the victim of specific women's mechinations.
I don't think they represent all of them but I knew at least 1 wouldn't go through with the genital mutilation, went back to being a guy once he was away from the woman's influence.
This is true, actually, though one could certainly debate whether it's 'all women'.
In Misery catherine bates plays a character who finds an author in a car accident. She takes him back to her house, and breaks his legs so he can't leave her.
This is women's female equivalent of rape. What you see with them forcing women into more societal power is they start attacking men's pathological evil yes (rape, demanding you work yourself to death).
But they just replace it with women's pathological evil - destroying you as a person so you cannot leave her.
Jealousy, definition: hostile toward a rival or one** believed to enjoy an advantage**
They see others being abusive not as wrong, but as rivals that they can't believe are "winning" the "who can be most abusive" contest.
The endpoint of "trans" ideology is to convince people to amputate off their genitals.
There's an argument The Tranny is their version of Jesus...but the need for continual sacrifice means it's more like live sacrifice of human beings, or throwing virgins in volcanoes.
I think we're seeing some very deliberate social engineering. Long story short I think you're supposed to feel threatened, and supposed to motivate everyone in the system to stand up to the psychos and get enough involved in what's going on around them to prevent society going off the edge of a cliff.
You're supposed to feel your children are threatened, and this is suppose to motivate you to go to parent teacher conferences, school board meetings, etc - stuff it's easy to just skip and watch TV instead.
One theory about Musk taking over Twitter is that one of his kids got pulled into the tranny cult and that pushed him into taking over twitter. This kind of thing happens at every level.
Both the "trans" people I knew were pressured into it by women.
Men's secondary fear is never having sex.
When this goes to the bad extreme it's rape.
Women's secondary fear being socially abandoned.
When this goes to the extreme they neuter anyone around them so they can't leave.
It's like the woman in Misery - kidnap the author, break his legs so he can't escape.
Women's drive is to make sure no one can ever leave them - the worst of women do just as evil things as the worst of men, they just do it under the guise of compassion and helping.
People Have Gotten Very Sensitive
I feel like they recruited elderly women to flood the internet around 2015.
They haven't gotten very sensitive as this is irrational behavior from any normal people.
It's normal behavior from older women who are to old to want to get pregnant and go through the rigors of that, and want to keep their husband under lock and key.
In other words...they want to create a secret police force who's goal is to benefit one racial group by persecuting another racial group.
Is there any point where compassion and empathy...isn't immediately seen as weakness to be exploited?
