We are literally the children of hippies. We watched the "communal farm" and mom's "market stall" turn into Stock Market dad and Career Mom. Raised ourselves pretty much from the time we could feed ourselves. Sorta the fruition of Timothy Leary's "Tune in, Turn on, and Drop Out."
 We have seen that shit not work. We have seen kids that were named "Moonbeam" in kindergarten, change their names to Chad in elementary school. If that sounds oddly specific IT IS MOTHERFUCKER. Now try and sell me some government cheese. |

ETA:We are the GenX parents that raise our kids the way we were raised. Fine, I'll call your first random kid in rural SD and play my 18 year old intern we have here at work who is 2 weeks away from graduating: He just got his driver's license but his parents don't let him drive so his mom drops him off to work. I'm not sure why he wanted to work here as he can't do anything. He broke a band saw blade so I told him replace/fix what you break and the blades are in one of our cabinets in the back. 20min later the blade is off but he's sitting in a chair watching TikTok or YouTube. I'll also raise you a 21 year old we have who spent two weeks trying to figure out how to use our printer/fax/copier. She knows how to keep her hair pink though  Gen X's own shit parenting of just letting kids wander around kinda worked when smart phones didn't exist. You could only screw up in person but you still had to show up. Gen Z just phones it in. Someone else will handle that. Gen X gave their 9 year olds cell phones and left em alone like they were and now we have 15 years worth of kids who never grew up, got addicted to porn/onlyfans, and think virtue signaling on social media is life's most important calling. The vast majority of people even here in GD using their own kids is going to use data points in the top 1%. Gen Z is max ~5% capable adults. I'm 36. I see Gen X's shit parenting every day. I'll take one retired 65 year old man over 3 Gen Zers. Boomers get shit done. Quoted: As bad as Gen Z is reputed to supposedly be, I can say with 100% certainty that they are much more squared away than any Millennial I’ve met. Zero fucking chance. Millennials are like the talented kid who is too cool to do work. Get on their ass or tie their performance to money and they'll produce. Most of Gen Z is worthless and it's from Gen X passing on their non-existent parenting. Ship me all the millennials you've got and I'll trade em for 2 of my Gen Zers. |

Quoted: Here's how the left's doomsday lies created the awesome generation of Generation X. Our teachers were the adult hippies, and so we were constantly told we would soon die in a nuclear blast. Even in our Weekly Reader, death was right around the corner. Over and over, they had us participate in useless and terrifying "duck and cover" nuclear drills. Imminent death was pounded into us. And if it wasn't nukes, it was the depletion of the ozone layer, acid rain, Global Cooling, the population bomb, worldwide famine, the exhaustion of natural resources, or something else that ended up being exposed as a hoax. These manipulative leftists mistakenly believed scare tactics would convince my generation to extend their socialist peace movement through the anti-nuke or environmental movement. Well, thankfully, they were wrong. Instead, we became the awesomest generation Generation X. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/04/29/nolte-how-lefts-doomsday-lies-accidentally-created-awesome-generation-x/ Really just there so we wouldn't smoke pot.

I never had nuclear drills in any of my schools (I went to 9). Born in ‘68, graduated in ‘87.
My parents did. They’re boomers. Born in ‘47 and ‘48. My teachers may have been liberal (I’m guessing?) but they kept politics out of the classroom. Even when they had a big union contract dispute when I was in high school, not only did the teachers vote not to go on strike, but when we asked them about what was going on, they said it wasn’t appropriate to discuss in school. The only time I heard a teacher express a political opinion was a Social Studies teacher who seemed really impressed with Reagan. Half my teachers were Korean and Vietnam war vets. My chemistry teacher was a WWII vet. That might have helped keep liberalism out of our classrooms. Here’s the kicker….I grew up in ultra-liberal Massachusetts. |
