Boomers are a huge group, and back in the day some of them started buying up cheap land and living communally. This would have meant that they weren't in the tax system as completely as they could have been, so they represented a moral and practical danger to the government. What if they had kids who grew up free? That would be a disaster! So, I believe the decadent lifestyles boomers are known for were fostered or at least promoted to keep them plugged into the matrix. Houses were cheap and they appreciated like crazy, college tuition was only a few thousand a year, stuff like that. So, hippies became boomers, and the tax base was safe until they got old.

Need to think on this.... try not to lump people into one pile. My spouse is 73 I am 63 the tail end of the Boomers. Our ideology and political views are opposite I am conservative he's a liberal.

He's in The Matrix but isn't aware that he is ... I don't even think he knows what the Matrix is. I do know what the Matrix is BUY I have done my best to stay unplugged from it.

In reality though trying to raise children it is difficult to avoid it but I did my best to teach the kids to think for themselves to use common sense. They are particularly awake now with this covid-19 fake pandemic. This is a solid slap across the face for a few of them and I have their attention now.

The many years I have been ridiculed for being a conspiracy theorist questioning things that my husband refuse to question including what happened in 1963 have become an aha moment. But I do agree that the older Boomers they are so embedded in a obstructionist ideology that they are lost forever. They are so brainwashed they can't find themselves out of the hell that they dug for themselves.

Interesting fact is he has a sister that is my age with two adult children that they raised in a very liberal environment. My niece is nightmare she looks like a wreck with piercings all over her face she's a fat lesbian loudmouth. She is gender neutral. Her brother on the other hand is a loser who dropped out of Brown University actually he was kicked out. He had one loser job after another and Mommy and Daddy are still paying the bills for both of them. They will most likely never have grandchildren I feel sorry for them all. But back when our kids were growing up I was considered to be an uptight disciplinarian.

Thank God my husband worked long hours so that the majority of the children's time was spentprimarily with me.

I hope my husband wake the hell up soon the last seven months have been freaking nightmare with him.

They really think the Civil Rights Acts in the 1960s were their greatest achievement ever and it defines their generation.
