Boomer Philosophy vs X-Gen vs Millennial

[Baruch]

Sociology was originally a late 19th century political movement in academia, that was trying to make Marxism respectable.  It was mostly successful in this brainwashing because once something becomes status-quo in academia, it is like Aristotelianism in the Catholic universities.  Activism based on academic sociology became the socialism we all know and love.  The respectability aspect being, that unlike Marxism, Socialism isn't bloody in tooth and claw (as per French or Russian revolution).  Here is an analysis of 3 different generational views of bourgeois society ...

I can argue that socialism was present before Marx even opened his mouth.

Also not all Boomers and Gen X are massively afraid of Socialism.

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror

There is no other word for crap than crap.

No analysis is valid, because it generalizes across large numbers of people?  So abandon politics then?

Native Americans are socialist.  Is that you, Elizabeth? ;-)  Rousseau is the greatest!

Let all your feeling out, man!

So which American asshole generation is more shitty?

Boomer, X-Gen or Millennial?  Sometimes I am more like a Boomer, sometimes more like X-Gen, but the latter may be more an age thing (cynicism).  I grew out of Marxist analysis over 40 years ago.

[Baruch]

More ongoing analysis of the false narrative called post-WW II ideology.



The Millennials are an upside down version of the Christian imperialism of 100 years ago.  Race is real, but the only point of race is to uniquely destroy White people ... because all non-White (and Women) have victim points but all White (and Men) have all the victimizer points.

The quoted book is from the totalitarianism of 100 years ago.  And then is used to act as a straw man for the 3 typical modern Americans.  The American culture has evolved from typical totalitarianism to inverted totalitarianism of today:

"The political philosopher Sheldon Wolin coined the term inverted totalitarianism in 2003 to describe what he saw as the emerging form of government of the United States. Wolin analysed the United States as increasingly turning into a managed democracy."

Which is to say, the Millennial is a neo-fascist.

I would suggest that most of what you type on this board is crap--so, in your case, crap is crap--or even shit.

I wasn't talking to you and I don't really care what you 'dignify' or not 'dignify'.

Utube seems to attract a lot of odd balls.

More BDS ... Baruch Derangement Syndrome.  Seek medical help?

CNN is god, bow down and worship Jim Acosta ;-)

Again, as so often happens, no actual arguments about the points made, just the "I am virtuous and you are a Nazi".  Proof of human devolution.

Can I borrow this for my Sweeping Generalizations class?

[Baruch]

Sweeping Generaiizations:

There is a universe

There is natural law

There is life

There is consciousness

There are people

There are Americans

There are Republicans

All wrong, because all generalizations don't take account of the infinite particularities.  In short, I don't know the name of your misuse of "over-generalization" but it is what you are claiming, without any specific justification.  In short, a wordy way to say ... "you are shit".  Senior citizen anger control failure (seen in a great many seniors in my own experience).

I think these analyses capture much of the generational character of the people born 1946 onward.  It matches my own experience and what I see in others.  if you think this characterization is unflattering, maybe you have an ego problem?  Is any "character" of a generation ... wrong?  No, it simply is what it is.
