Topic: Politics stuck in economic collapse of liberal socialism until the boomers die - page 2. (Read 1815 times)

For anyone bothering to read my comment posts over at the quoted linked blog of my former boss who now works at Apple, please note the following comment post has not yet appeared on the blog (apparently waiting for moderator approval). Also I am not sure if my recent comment posts there which appear for me, are also visible for other readers. So readers may want to check back at that blog page after a few days when presumably Mark will have approved all my comments for publishing on his blog.

The following is best read while listening to this (challenge yourself to listen to both the words of the song and read the following simultaneously):

Will read the links but have to ask why waste the time trying to change her? We get super set in our ways as we get older and hold to what we believe tighter, because most of what we are is done.
Save the little time you may have with her reflecting on postive stuff.
Will save you a lot of headaches, my moms the same age and she has totally neive understanding of the world and if I pressed lately it would turn to tears. They are a lot more fragile in mind at this point then you may think. Funny you went through all that feminism garbage like me, but now my mom denies she tried to instill it. Could easily go to her bookshelf and point to the books but lifes to short.
We all have our faults, try to except them. She is not changing you any more so why fight!
Will come back tomorrow after checking the links.

Regardless of the truth you're trying to reveal, practicaldreamer has a point.


Indeed. The greatest problem is one of communication, wherein the kind of response elicited from your mother starts happening as a knee-jerk reaction. I've found the Socratic method to be far more effective than pressing an issue. Is everyone at the same level of awareness and understanding?


Thinking rationally is one thing - it's hard to act rationally when angry. Not that I've been able to handle that exceptionally well...

On the positive side, my mother is very consistent about encouraging females (and males) to get an education (although she pretty well scattered mine, but I had never faulted her for that since my father did leave when I was 5). My sister was murdered (or suicide?) in 2006 and I wasn't able to speak to her ever again after 2001 (which btw was when I was recovering from 3 surgeries over several months to save my blinded right eyeball) because I refused to give her $5000 to bribe a judge to get her drug addict murderer husband out of jail and then my parents supported the position of not allowing me communicate with her. My father's wife won't let him communicate with me. My beloved, traditional grandparents have all passed on. And my mother loves her children and grandchildren. And she is very astute about respecting other people's rights and relationships. And she is very concerned about the humanitarian perspective, such as she has lot of empathy for Muslims who are escaping the war in the Middle East and migrating to Europe. My guess is she thinks guaranteeing these humanitarian goals requires the government make it available and thus I presume that is a why she is aghast about a breakup of the USA with the Bible Belt reverting some of the liberalism.

I think she is oblivious to the fraud and delusion of feminism as a movement, as are so many of the boomers. Because it was the idealism of the 1960s that defines how they value their generation. They actually are under the delusion they were improving the world with liberal socialism.   Piling on $trillions of sovereign debt can sustain such an illusion until the Minsky Moment hits in 2018 (earlier for Europe, now for China). Boomers have been spoiled since the moment they were born and the debt-driven delusion of liberal socialism is just another of their spoiled escapades that we will be paying for after they are gone.

Let's just hope they don't legitimize any government to require a backdoor on all encryption and send the internet and our global economy into a 600 year Dark Age of totalitarianism. I don't think they will win, but the up and coming China is also apparently upping the ante from 2032.95 forward.

China launched a mandatory centralized social network[1] which requires all Chinese citizens to report their friends who criticize the Communist Party.

I think it is difficult for boomers who grew up with traditional parents, stability, and the true devotion of their traditional parents, to comprehend what they have done to us. I am not a person to blame my life on anyone else. When I traveled to the Philippines and coded CoolPage from abject poverty in a Nipa Hut in a hyper-densely populated squalor swamp infested with mosquito born diseases and weekly bouts of dysentery and Giardia, contracted Typhoid and Dengue fevers (probably more than once, which is supposed to be very destructive to the immune system), I realized some people had it worse than me. I had to experience their life to really comprehend. I take responsibility for my life and take matters into my hands. My mother said yesterday when I alleged the boomers were collectively legitimizing the political corruption, "what are you doing about it?". I replied, "good point". Enough said.

And my parents, relatives, and former co-workers were all, "And why did you do that to yourself!?!? ".

You never know until you've walked in the other person's shoes. So I guess I can't comprehend the boomers' "sacrifice"? Sacrifice?

Well my mother sacrificed 9 months of carrying me in her womb and another pain of tearing up her orifice to push me out into the world. And then doing her best as a husband-less 20-something to keep me sheltered, fed, and in school. Who would presume a son doesn't love his parents and wants anything negative for them. Well I must admit I put nails under the tires of my Dad's Triump TR6 convertible when I was 5 years old. Maybe it was because they said I was holding on to his belt loops and refusing to let him leave. Then again, I also helped him design the framing for the wood bed platform for the back of his VW bus when I was 5. That was a piece of cake since I was already employing tools and taking apart my toys in the earliest pictures I have seen of myself as a toddler. I built my own more interesting toys from the parts. I was off in my own world. I even travelled the galaxy in my spaceship. But in my dreams, the Indian dancing hypnotized cobra tribe had captured my father in Belize. And there was the dark death of grey that would chase me in the brightly colored cartoon that was my dream, and the grey pipe could zigzag across the display screen of my dream until all the color had been enveloped and I had been swallowed. My nightmare was a video game and I was in it. Then I would half-awake on my stomach and I couldn't take a breath or move. Terrified. I suppose we all had some dreams like that.

Pain is relative. You don't know pain until you've had a hole in your stomach leaking acid into your abdominal cavity. I counted every half-second 1,2,3,4,5,6... for 3 days non-stop knifing pain coupled with super intense burning (except for only 2 times they allowed me the strongest narcotic pain killer than I was floating in a cloud for 3 hours each time). You'll pray there is no hell because if there is one you understand you can't handle it for eternity. Of course, you realize there is no eternal hell right. Just take an overdose of sleeping pills and get it over with. Maybe I just haven't experienced other forms of physical pain such as having my guts or leg blown off by some form of ballistic incident. I broke my nose flat on my face taking a knee to the face during an American football game (college level without any padding or helmets), got hit on the skull with a hammer (permanently hole in my skull), and torn the ligaments for really bad high ankle sprain that put me on crutches for a month and made it too painful to sleep well. But that was nothing compared to the exploded acute ulcer. Emotional distress is different. You fight it by becoming a man. Becoming hardened. Doing more sports and increasing the level of testosterone. I didn't precisely know that most of life, even I was sometimes very engrossed into athletics.

Unions are an integral element of liberal socialism and they destroy the middle class:

Btw my mother has non-publicly criticized me behind my back in the past, belittling my attempts to relay such information to her. An arrogant or ignorant pride is the way I perceived it. She was very angry at the person who told me she was doing this. And she claims to not being doing this any more. And I feel like a snake for publishing this not just to a few private individuals but publicly. But how else are X gen males going to understand, if they don't have examples like this to relate to.

And more importantly, how can I vent years of frustration. I don't want to hurt my mother. I hope this doesn't get back to her. And I hope none of you ever know of her by name.

If I had taken more time to cool down (not anger but just fired up enough to bother even writing the OP), I probably would not have posted it. But also since I took the time to write it and explain, I felt my effort is wasted if I only send it to my mom. The effort has the most value (actually impact, maybe poor value for me personally) open sourced.

It isn't suffocating the life out of them in the UK - Junior doctors escalate industrial action to all-out strike next month

However, just to prove that I'm not completely trolling your thread, I'm going to agree with you on something - and that something is this :-


You could be onto something there.

And this followup:

Thanks for your feedback as it is very indicative of the kafkatrapping, political correct speech crap that dominates the West.

And you are well known to be a liberal socialist.

I have attempted to relay the facts to her over the past several years and she covers her eyes and ears and thinks negatively (or pity?) about me because I try to share that which she characterizes as "gloom and doom" from her perspective. Yeah I understand liberal socialists think any default on their bankrupt agenda is "doom and gloom". Reality was never their creed.

In this particular case, I wasn't trying to ram any information down her throat. She was venting about Trump and I had to responding rationally instead of being a "yes ma'am" tool. When I pointed out that Trump is just an early sign of the breakup of the USA and that all of this had been predicted years ago by Armstrong's computer, she became distraught to the point of telling me to not speak another word on the issues or hangup.

I wrote this to her to try to help her because her life is ostensibly being hampered by a fraudulent ideology (although I think it so deeply engrained in her personality now at age 70 that the only point was to make sure she understood I was being rational so she can't blame me to support a delusion of self-pity). And I published this, because other X generation men might be in a similar predicament as me and need some help on understanding the generative essence of their conflict with their boomer parents.

I also published this to explain some of the dysfunction some of X gen males have had to slog through in life.

You patronise your mother, you insult her intelligence, you attempt to undermine her by appeals to obscure authorities she likely has little inkling of, you berate her over things beyond her control - you abuse your mother.

I'd like to say that your mother deserves better - but in truth your mother has a lot to answer for 

A whole generation of men have been lied to and sold into the feminist narrative because their generation of mothers decided to choose their own self preferential double standards over their own blood. Now these men are growing up and realizing how full of shit their mothers are. Of course they don't want to admit to selling out their own sons to maintain their own position of privilege, and that of the next generation of women partnering with them. In order to do that they would have to examine a lifetime of lying to themselves as well as their loved ones. Chances are that is never going to happen. Cue the crying and refractory accusations and claiming of victim-hood by the perpetrators.

Politics is stuck in the economic collapse of liberal socialism until the boomers stop vomiting

A copy of an email to my mother.

Note I only put about 15 minutes into writing this, because I am in rush. I don't think it is written very well and the concepts could be better organized and articulated. Also I forgot to go into the other point that had caused my mom to feel threatened and depressed, when I mentioned that the USA will fracture into regions. Here are links to the logic on the coming breakup of the USA (e.g. the southern Bible Belt will break away from the Liberals in the north, in a repeat of the Boston Tea Party "Taxation without representation" protest as the global economy goes over the cliff in 2018 ... note Europe is already going over the cliff now with Liberalism facilitated Muslim invasion compounding the sovereign debt crisis of the EU):

And no I don't hate Muslims specifically. I merely acknowledge the impact and free market raison d’être of religions including the feminist variety:
