     @Terry Bless his heart.

     I know you guys hate this archetype of boomer but these would be our base if we gained enough headway. I don't get how zoomer racists will look at a guy who came up in the good times, enthusiastically following the only strongman available to him and say "haha fuck him that would never be me"

     If we got the $500k house and a comfy job with a plain wife, we'd be just like that too

     @Terry The most essential element missing from our dissident fringe politic/ideology is love for our own people. It's easy to love them in the abstract, to love their heights, their history, their accomplishments, but it's much harder to love them as imperfect as they are.

     That love for our extended white family is grievously missing in every body politic in the scene today. A good leader, a real leader sees his mens as sons and brothers, not cannon fodder, gullible marks, or rubes with faces-for-steppingstones.

     I get grumpy with these types of people IRL too, which is why I've tried to extend my heart and empathize with them. Are their motives righteous? Are they trying in life? Under a different set of material conditions would that man stand beside me as a brother? We're only 'based' for the miracle of our birth, too. We hit the exact point in history when there was info shared in our purview right as we were deprived of the kinds of distractions that would close our ears to it.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Terry The boomers cannot understand the younger generation and will refuse to. There is a permanent divide because the boomer has an unshakable faith in the system because it worked for them and in many ways it is still working, they do not have to worry about the worst of it because they got their's and will be dead soon, now they see the future as somebody else's problem (even as boomers continue to occupy seats in government). Despite everything they have going for them they are at best useless to us and at worst obstacles.

     @MeBigbrain @Terry Like the youth understand them so well? How many of us have anything worth dying to protect? We're poor dead-enders by default, of course we lack faith in the system: Its faults have been laid bare for us all along. It's not a great moral courage of ours to call the sky blue.

     Boomers towards our end of the political spectrum, even when somewhat distant, are still more friend than enemy, and in the right conditions those fat old bastards will be the ones looking the other way as the young fighters "steal" their resources to be put to use. They have things we don't, in the future that gap will need to be bridged in order to get anything done, unless you think we're doing just great making our own businesses, supporting our own, and popping out 5 kids each?

     In time, conditions will deteriorate to the point where they see that they need force to protect what they have, and then they're with us. Acting like we - the poorest, least networked generation ever made - can somehow pull off anything alone is a childish tantrum.
