A case for the 'lost generation' concept

in #blog6 years ago

I have formed my concept of what the 'lost generation' is out of actually experiencing it firsthand, taking measure of the people, their actions, and the world around me. There are some among us who will not accept personal anecdotal evidence, preferring only to believe 'studies' published in their propaganda mill of choosing. This is just a small taste of those articles, mostly from the left's favored propaganda sources(I hope they, above all others take some of this into consideration.)

If these studies are to be taken into account, the lost generation is weaker, dumber, less fertile, thin-skinned, more broke, and more indebted than the generations before. It is no small wonder when one considered the culmination of policy and globalist agenda over the past decades. These policies are affecting most of the west.

They say its environmental factors, interesting. Perhaps our current environment is infact toxic. Should we not consider poisoned food, water, vaccines, and skies? How about sedentary stressed out lifestyles often interrupted with gorging on fast food and chain restaurants? How about outcome based education, colleged being propagandized, and schools deteriorating in quality?

Weak upbringings, too much comfort, too much distraction, and jobs removed from real labor perhaps? I started working at 4, my grip strength is high. When I shake mens' hands I can tell much about them.

See above two explanations.

Very shocking indeed. Perhaps the biggest shock is there are households making six figures that CANT cover a 400 dollar expense.

This one needs to be fully read to see through the thick wall built up. They insist when the plan becomes defunded people will still receive benefits, reduced ones. This will come directly from what is paid in.... except.... the boomers are all reaching that age, and the younger generation is more strapped then they were. My grandfather never paid anything in and received benefits for years, I fully expect to pay in my whole life and never receive benefit.

Cry closets, warm milk, therapy dogs, dim lighting, mental health professionals, all reveal the psychological frailty of our college students. It sounds much more like something that could be found in kindergarten.

I've seen human beings bought, sold, and traded from one pimp to another like a prized milk cow. Almost died more times than I can count, both from accident and people with murder in their eyes. Seen dozens of my friends die, saved multiple people with cpr or out of car wrecks, even buried my brother after finding him deceased from carbon monoxide poisoning. I lived every day for 10 years knowing any day could be my last. I spent a year breaking into buildings and going under bridges to sleep, everything lost or taken from me. I dont need cry closets, what's your excuse? The deadline for your paper is too short?

'Who put these GD horses on this GD plane!!!!!' I do hope you remember your trailers from 'Snakes on a Plane' ft. Samuel L Jackson. Maybe it wasnt so absurd after all?

Can anything be left alone?

"Millennials, defined as those born between 1981 and 1998, have about $2,430 saved, the study showed. Individuals belonging to Generation X, born between 1965 and 1980, had about $15,780 stashed away, while those born before 1964 had a median savings stockpile worth $24,280."

Profound article, my friend. You are one of the few....

Thanks! I appreciate your support as well! I try to read all your work, keep it up. I especially liked the one on female marketing schemes, I happened to be thinking about that topic after seeing some commercials and thinking about the financial straits of the women I know. Your article hit it right on the head.

LOL...I was thinking that was one of my weakest ones...

Glad it hit a chord.
