Matt Bracken and his followers harassed me on FreeRepublic where I was a long time member.
Despite my long time conservative posting history, he / they called me a "plant" and doxxed my personal information! I complained about that to the board's owner, who took their side. After all, I did not HAVE to be on the site so as to get doxxed!!
FreeRepublic was the go-to place in the late 1990s and early 2000s. I still lurk there from time to time.
Absolutely all generation blaming is stupid and a waste. We should blame nonChristianity, the fed, IRS, and the deepstate.
Absolutely!!! 100%!!! Everyone does what they think is best for the time, given the information they had at the time. All this generational blaming and name calling is so stupid and controlled. The deep state loves us divided, even by generation.
I'm 73! I tell my children this: can you imagine a time when there was NO personal computers, no internet, no cellphones, no GPS, etc?
Yet I always acted in the best interests of my family based on the information that was available at that time. No apologies here. We did the best we could with the information we had.
BUT NOW I am also saying with the internet there is no longer an excuse to be ignorant of the evil that's going on all around us. It does take a bit of digging but the truth is out there.

You are correct. But one thing is consistently certain: Every generation always blames their parents' generation for everything thats wrong with the world. It was true in the Sixties, it was true in the Fifties, it was true in the Forties, in the Thirties, in the Twenties...and probably much further than that.
But you have to have some familiarity with 20th-century American social history to understand it. And very few folks today do.
I never blamed my parents for my generations issue, I thanked them in fact for working hard, living a godly life of great reputation and character to give me a good life. This goes for my four siblings too.
I am "Class of '98" at FreeRepublic (not with my S/N over here), but I have not posted over there in ~ 5 years. Most who still post there are black pilled
The level of discourse certainly changed. Ad hominem attacks etc.
I barely go on there anymore.
too much nastiness
Don't know if you've been there lately, but Jim Robinson passed away a few weeks ago.
did not know that - - -
Damn, forget about FR!
The reality: Gold isn't worth more...Buying power/FRNs are worth less
This must be a millennial safe space thing or something...I don't think Gen X ever thought that "boomers" are to blame for things. I mean, aside from blaming their shitty lives on them as a typical generational rivalry thing - I guess it could be an excuse in that regard - But I don't see it - grassroots/real life.

THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THIS:
Explain:
The hollowing out of the middle class, the currency debasement and "coin shaving" is NOTHING new. It's ALL been done before AND - THOUSANDS of currencies have been created AND - ALL HAVE FAILED & GONE TO ZERO!!! ALL OF THEM!!!
Not only THAT...But...
In more recent history - The damned Dutch did this EXACT SAME THING of currency debasement, letting their military go to shit, their infrastructure crumble and the wealth get sucked out of the middle class merchants and producers through a multi-pronged cavalcade of fuckery and GREED.
You look at rusty USA and wonder what happened...looking for someone near you to blame...All the while it was PREYED UPON by the BANKSTERS - essentially out of City of London, Amsterdam, Venice, Germany & Switzerland - practicing their Babylonian Money Magic - Hell bent on world domination / full spectrum dominance and communism. You'll own nothing...and be dead.
They've been trying to kill us for HUNDREDS OF YEARS thousands if you want to get technical - The fact that they haven't done it yet is a testament to how wealthy & resilient America really is...but that's not to say that we're not pretty close to the precipice...
Keep stacking...no matter the price. The number of FRN units required to purchase physical is irrelevant. Zimbabwe and Weimar Republic give their regards...
"Keep stacking.."? Are you referring to accumulating gold & silver?
Where ya been?
I would also include copper, nickel, and lead. Lots of lead, if you know what we all mean by that. Even the zinc in new pennies is worth almost a penny, and that will soon increase. The melt value of nickels is about 7 cents today. WWII silver nickels are worth almost $6 each.
I use coinflation.com to find the melt values of various US coins, including the silver ones.
Thanks for that advice. I'll check out that website.
yes. Yes he is.
u/TaQo sure ain’t talkin about tiddlywinks.
Well I remember "tiddlywinks"! In the 50s-60s there were competitive "tiddlywinks societies"! Guess I'm kinda dating myself.
I bought another bit of silver five days ago from JMBullion. Hopefully they actually give it to me. I always fear "this is the time they cancel all selling." Fortunately I haven't been burned yet, and even if it happens, I already have enough.
People worry that they've "missed the boat", but the truth is, the current value is at an incredible bargain (while we still use FRNs). But that's not what really matters. What matters is that a reckoning is coming with regards to FRNs. Gold shall DESTROY the Fed (that's not quite the exact quote, but I think it is almost certainly true). They say "destroy." They aren't going to "fix" FRNs. That is impossible. The entire premise of its existence is the ultimate fraud. FRNs will be destroyed. Every single one you have will be WORTHLESS.
When the shit hits the fan (hopefully not as messy as it could be), the "price" of silver (or gold) will be irrelevant. What matters is that you will not be one of the "bagholders" if you are one of the people holding the bags (of silver, or gold, but silver is better atm).
Yep - you are so right fren on all points.
FYI I bought 12/27/2025 a decent amount from Scottsdale Mint and it was stuck in "preparing to ship" until yesterday... They sent out a message yesterday too (because I'm sure they're getting hammered by those wondering when they're going to get theirs) - saying it's 4-6 weeks right now for delivery.
I was only briefly worried that I wouldn't get my chit.... until I really looked at their MASSIVE operation in multiple locations. They do EVERYTHING here in the USA under roof - after it leaves the mine, they both process and cast it. So... that made me feel better.
Hopefully I'll have my metal in hand next week...
Child of a boomer. They are mostly retarded. Im sorry. I did say mostly.
When it comes to the “noticing” boomers are near impossible to get to because they grew up in the WW2 fantasy.
I constantly butt heads with older generations when it comes Zionism.
Boomers dont have open minds at all. You cannot tell them anything. They know everything. The ones I know are retarded.
They DO know a lot of things other generations don’t know.
Stay humble, and learn some tricks.
I didnt say all. Most have a huge ego and dont wanna learn or open their mind. Lots of boomer trump haters that laugh at us.
Might be interesting to find out how many boomers are on this board .
And how many ARE noticing
I was born in 1952 and I'm noticing, all my "boomer" friends are noticing too.
Same here - born in 1952! I will admit that sometimes I get frustrated with "my generation". I consider one of my "jobs" is to wake up "my generation".
It’s weird how that works. Message has to come from “within the group” yet also “no man is a prophet in his own house”.
I guess that’s why it takes all of us.
Born in mid '50s, and am so surprised at how many of the people I grew up with are STILL hard-core Democrats. I was a hard-core Democrat throughout my 20s, but grew up and left that vile political party in the early '80s. I blame MSM for keeping so many people in line with that vile party! What is amazing, is that the truth IS out there, but they choose to stay with the MSM bubble.
I am a young boomer with boomer parents. My mother woke up with Covid. She reads Badlands Media’s Substack every morning. My father and his wife are not yet sure that I am right about there being a plan, but can’t disagree with there being so much weird stuff happening. My father’s hearing loss makes it hard to fully reach him as he can only read and misses out on the good videos and podcasts that seem to help people wake up. But on my husband’s side - ooof. They are dug into their liberal indoctrination.
Boomers tend to be Spoiled children. Know what kind of children they usually have ?
My brother and I tried to be 100% opposite of them. Father's a God hating liberal boomer moron. We taught ourselves everything. We aren't spoiled and we created great lives. I changed our family tree forever.
This story happens every generation.
Never gets old, either, and it ain’t the majority, so good work!
I bet your grandfather felt the same way about "God hating liberal boomer moron."
My children are both strong conservative Trump supporting Christians. They were 16 and 14 when covid scam started. That changed them forever. They saw all the lies. I taught them alot in life about good and evil. They witnessed it 1st hand and saw dad isnt crazy.
Covid reinforced / proved to them what you had taught them , well done Dad. 2 of my three (now adults) avoided the poison jab. The last / youngest is coming along nicely anyway , as well.
Makes us feel good aye. Both my girls got to vote for president this last election. We went as a family. Very proud day.
Actually my grandfather was a proud democrat. Probably because of kennedy. And the democrats then were not the same as the crazies now. My dad is a crazy liberal who on Christmas morning would spit at his own TV when trump came on. I wrote a story about that on here many years ago.
Many fine Patriotic Americans were Democrats but when "Father's a God hating liberal boomer moron." they too would have realized their child rearing errors.
My dad was a narcissistic piece of shit and didn't teach me a damn thing. I'm glad he's gone.
Haha, same. Lol. Mine taught me what not to be like.
Each generation includes intelligent and retarded folks, and those who think otherwise tend to be retarded folks. FTFY
Kek.
God is generous , stupid people don't know they are stupid.
Makes it easier for Forrest Gump to do shit.
But reality is about to teach the WORLD how stupid the species is. Got assets ?
Not any I know. I know I sure wasn't. My parents were poor. We never had the heat on at night. We had a garden so we could have some vegetables to eat all year. We rarely had meat in a meal. We never got toys except a few at Christmas. We never got fruit at home except on Christmas morning.
Welcome to my world. My Father ,a greatest generation was born in a log house on a farm using only animals ,no tractors. The Greatest generation survived the depression then "won" WW 2 and didn't want their children to suffer like they did.
That's why I didn't say 'All Boomers"
I keep saying that they would sell their home for absolute maximum value instead of leaving it to their children when they die.
Be careful what you wish for.
The home becomes theirs to do what they want. If they want to sell it, fine. If they want to keep it, also fine.
The home bought by the parents "to do what they want. If they want to sell it, fine. If they want to keep it, also fine."
The greedy , lazy or good for nothing children need to learn to make their own worlds. So "Be careful what you wish for."
Are you against parents leaving their children anything? Because what you're saying is crazy.
"The home bought by the parents "to do what they want."
Ya convenient to just lump sum they aren't responsible for a lot of the mess.
He's not a Boomer, though. Being born in 1957 firmly puts him in the range of Generation Jones. The crossover between Boomers and GenX. I get what he's saying, but all his examples are either before he was born, or too young to influence. It's a weak argument to begin with, but he isn't a Boomer. Generation Jones is an interesting one. Jones didn't create the system, but they were the first to notice the severe flaws in the system, and their actions had a knock on effect to what we see today.
1957 is in the baby boom generation. It goes from 1946 to 1964. You are wrong.
1957 is when my baby brother was born. We were living in a shack in the country at the time. There was no heat at night, and the heat didn't help that much in the daytime, as I could see outside through the walls.
Look up Generation Jones.
So it was totally made up in 1999. They think there's some magical difference between people born the year I was and those born a few months later. I haven't seen any differences between people I know from my year and before, and those just afterwards. We were raised the same and went to the same schools.
The Google description sounds almost exactly like me and my friends, being technically adept, etc. The Baby Boom Generation went from 1946 to 1964. They just made an artificial split of which I haven't seen the reality.
I think any exposure is good exposure, but this little clip is missing SO MUCH ESSENTIAL INFORMATION it almost seems like it's intentional.
It's probably not. I don't know what I would do with <4:00 mins. It's a really difficult thing to expose; how deep the rabbit hole goes. I guess seeing the door is better than looking in the other direction.
This article is garbage. Each generation since the inception of civilization has at least some part to play in the who/what/when/where/why/how we, as a global civilization got to this current place. To argue how any one generation is not to blame, at least in part, is idiotic and an attempt at deflection away from their past and continuing mistakes.
As a member of Generation X, I've grown up watching how each generation before us has failed the former and latter generations and how each has their own role to play in this mess. We have failed each other, that much is clear. There are countless history books proving this, and yet absolutely NONE of them offer any type of solution to the problems that plague is. They all leave it up to the successive generations to solve. Which is, in and of themselves, the greatest failure of all. Talking about a problem with no clear solution to it is pointless because it's the analysis itself that brings true understanding. How can a future generation even attempt to solve the problems if they don't have a clear understanding of their past?
Laying blame to each other is just another way [they] work to keep us divided as a species. Looking back only helps if we learn from the mistakes that were made, and work to keep from making those same mistakes in the future by remembering and teaching the successive generations about those mistakes, as well as our work in understanding them and our work to correct them.
As long as we continue to point the finger and deflect, we continue to make those same mistakes. We fail the generations currently alive, as well as the future generations yet to come. We continue to lie to ourselves and to our future.
As we continue down this path with no real and clear understanding of how we got to this point, as well as a plan to admit our generational faults along with our attempts at solving the issues we have, we're just delaying the inevitable and are helping to bring about the destruction of our species. As a result, there is really no point in continuing as a species, and we should just destroy ourselves now and hope that whoever is left afterward can rebuild humanity in the ways that we have failed.
Some may call this nihilistic thinking, but we will continue to make matters worse for the species because nothing will truly and completely change for the better, and we will continue to compound the problems we face now and in the future if we don't acknowledge our own generational roles as well as continuing to fail in offering real solutions.
I think Brackens' takes what your saying, that we are all guilty to some extent, as a baseline, and that the point of what he getting at is Boomers are disproportionately getting blamed for causing things we had little control of. That we are no more guilty than any other generation.
I also believe that Bracken has a correct read on why so much hate is being directed at boomer generations. It's just another angle in the scheme to divide white Americans. Baby Boomers Better Beware, is the proper slogan. When TSHTF all the false anger will be unleashed on Suburban Boomers (see here https://steelcutter.substack.com/p/baby-boomers-better-beware
If you can't see the hate that's being trumped up against boomers, I don't know what I can say to you that makes any difference.
By the time I graduated college in late '70s, I had had a paper route, office gopher for a law firm, stock/bag boy at a grocery store, and various summer jobs in college. My children's generation didn't seem to have a desire to work like we did back then. And then I read where many recent college graduates expected to be high-level employees right at the start. I remember when you would hear older teens and early twenties kids say, "I'm not working for that chump change". There was DEFINITELY a change in the work ethic that happened between the 1950s and the 1980's.
You mean blaming boomers was stupid? Who knew?
Just for the sake of context, generations are separated by 18 year intervals from day of birth to legal adult at 18.
Gen-A Jan 1st 2022 - Dec 31st 2040 Gen-Z Jan 1st 2003 - Dec 31st 2021 Gen-Y Jan 1st 1984 - Dec 31st 2002 Gen-X Jan 1st 1965 - Dec 31st 1983 Gen-W Jan 1st 1946 - Dec 31st 1964
US Federal reserve note removed from gold standard in 1971.

Boomers are not to blame, they were setup to be despised by they’re children by having a better quality of life than their children.
Millennials are gen Y?
That generation thing is bogus, as people don't instantly have babies when they turn 18. My father was 29 when I was born. My grandfather was 38 when my father was born.
That generational interval is a decent guideline, but it's not a hard and fast rule. Sociologists place dividing lines based on cultural generalization, not mathematical precision.
You make some good points. FWIW a biblical generation is typically regarded as 40 years.
...good stuff...
My dad is the oldest boomer, and my hubby is the youngest. (I'm Gen X.) My dad is incredibly based, and is ready to watch the world burn. I'm the proud resident tin-foil hat wearing member of the family. LOL
Nice, turn, burn, and churn. You got all three covered.
I’m not a boomer but I’ve never blamed people for what year they’re born in. The reality is schemers have taken all of us for a ride
People forget that the leaders of this country sold out over 100 years ago when they brought in the fed.
People also forget that we don't get a real choice on who gets elected - the parties decide long before we get to vote. Year after year I've watched my favorite candidates fail to survive the first few primaries and when I go to the primary to vote the choices are the 3 stooges at best - stinky, stinkier, and stinkiest. I'm certain the best candidates never get a shot at being in a primary vote.
Nice, your part of the psyop. Grow up fren.

Muckey, boomers are absolutely not to blame.
For a while, I actually thought “the greatest generation” was, but that wasn’t true either.
Eventually I realized this war has been going on for somewhere between centuries and millennia.
No one generation is at fault, but we can all be the generation that lets it all fall apart, so let’s hang together and not do that.
"Blame the Boomers" is definitely a diversion planted by the ones that are to blame.
The cycle just keeps repeating....until (if) we learn something. But we must remember something else first :
"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people." -Reagan
Amen brother.
most all are to blame, willful ignorance and apathy. I have been concerned since Reagan, increasingly screaming since Ross Perot and Ron Paul.

Saying "f@ck boomers" (or anyone for that matter) is just another way to divide us. Just stop.
My Parents were the forgotten generation.
Between the "greatest" and "boomers".
My Dad was a hardass, but a very good Man, Father, and Husband. He remembered the Depression and rationing in WWII
My Wife's parents are boomers from the San Francisco area. They are absolute retarded Communists.
Out of my Wife and her two sisters, she's the rebel. She's more conservative than I am. I hope my MIL doesn't write her out of the will, because they're freaking loaded.
I know the feeling. My father-n-law was loaded, and he took the jab and died. The money was his families money. When he died, my wife's step mother moved into home with her younger sister who unless step mother make a will, all the money, millions will go to that sister. And most of that money was old money from my father-n-laws family.
He's funny. He thinks weather just happens, naturally.
I hate that derogatory term "boomer." Young people call us that, even though our generation created all the tech they use. Most of us had zero to do with the government, as it was closed to anyone without deep pockets or friends in high places. It was like this even for local government.
Bracken is wrong on one point. The poor couldn't be helped by social programs unless they were dark and refused to work. I was white and had a low-paying job, and I didn't qualify for any help at all. And I did try. A cousin of mine who had two small children told the welfare office that if she came back with her face painted black, she could get some help. My old grandmother tried to get food stamps back in the 80s. They offered her $8 per month. She told them to shove them up their backsides.
I remember sitting in sixth grade in 1961 learning about the Federal Reserve and how its banks are always monitoring the money flow to keep our nation safe and great … 😳
When I was unemployed, my parents didn't have to tell me anything. I never asked them for anything. I took care of myself. When I was single, I always kept my expenses below what a minimum wage salary could cover. Unemployment could get me by. I was in the baby boom generation. I hate that derogatory "boomer" term. My parents lived through the Great Depression and taught me that hard times could come again. I've always been prepared.
