   That ultimately boils down the spirit of the boomer. They're the first generation raised on telivision, feminism, anti-racism, all under the cover of extreme material abundance.
   Their immediate ancestors were enslaved into ZOG's wars of annihilation against Europe, only to be expelled from the cities when they returned home. Their progeny experiencing the growing creep of racialized anarcho-tyranny similar to what the WW2 generation experienced. Only the boomer born into their little bubble in time.
   
   One of the smartest plays jews ever made was flooding the suburbs with cheep credit and consumer televisions for the Whites that settled there. There are notable exceptions to the spiritual boomer but generally speaking their character is that of someone cut off from tradition and addled by excess

     @mmmfeet What continues to surprise is how apathetic that type is to heritage. I see it a lot these days, where they have zero sentimentality about their things, roots, family. I hear it from friends trying to salvage the family photo albums from great granny’s home because “they’re a pain in the ass, who’s even gonna look at them?” or selling off grandpa’s old duty pistol because it’s “unsafe to have guns around”

     @WashedOutGundamPilot My Mom used to chastise us to not get too attached to material possessions but it was always in a "blood is more important than anything" way. Her and my Dad both grew up in Ireland during the troubles so they have a bit of that survivor mentality. The home you live in today could be lost tomorrow so appreciate your family more than anything. But she has a family picture album that dates back to the 40s that she's *extremely* protective of and she has an album of old letters, christmas cards and wedding invitations stored away somewhere. That boomer mentality didn't quite rub off on them, thank God. The only issue they ever had was my Dad's complete inability to enforce boundaries on women and girls but I think that's more to do with him growing up with an abusive stepmother then boomer conditioning. My mother and father are Saints compared to most boomers.

     @mmmfeet There’s an element of that in the past, but when they die, you have nothing to remember them by. It’s tremendously powerful to grow up as a boy and meet some standard that makes your dad pull out a box and hand you your grandfather’s/great/ stuff. Having those little heirlooms builds a connection that otherwise could fade over time, it’s a reward for righteous living, a way to keep the memory alive.

     It’s cheesy, yeah, but there were times I could have done some very dirtbag things, one of the things that kept me from taking up those opportunities was carrying granddad’s old ring, feeling like he’s watching me sully his name. Someday I want to pass down a portion of my collection to each of my grandchildren so they have things to cherish and think of the ‘before times’

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @mmmfeet Oh man, i hate that attitude so fucking much. I even confronted a boomer once for it, i told him, if you act like this do you wonder why you don't have anything?
