When the Q movement started people were allowed to have differing points of view and it was ok. Unfortunately we all got sent to this website where people are down voted for having a differing points of view, and being down voted insures that people with differing points of view can't submit posts. Really good posts are down voted to the point that know one will see them which is what will happen to this post I'm sure. The posts I see at the top look like we are in an echo chamber. Free speech is dying on here. People get called shills for asking real questions and having posts that maybe don't go along with the collective. The Q movement has a real threat of disappearing if this keeps happening. Unfortunately for typing this i will be called a shill and down voted, but I really don't care. does anyone wonder why we haven't gotten more than 15000 subscribers. when we were at more than 70000 before we got sent here. I am just warning people that we are pushing good people away. WWG1WGA

There does seem to be a concerted effort to divide this subverse into Boomers vs the rest, I've observed. Too often a seemingly great comment chain dissolves into "fuck off Boomer, what did you do to beat the cabal in your time?" It's seems to be another divide and conquer strat by the DS.

There's a lot of jealousy. The boomer generation was probably the luckiest generation and got to experience the whitest white America ever. Back when people were polite and saying "heck" was blasphemy. Compare the social atmospheres of boomers when they were teens and my generation (gen z). My generation can't even decide what gender they are and it's offensive to sing certain Christmas songs and it's racist to eat pb&j with white milk. The normal ones of us are hyper alert to politics and realize what our teachers are trying to do to us as well as tv shows and most media. Boomers would "walk a mile in the snow uphill and like it", and I'd take that shit any day over whatever weird anti-logic environment I'm growing up in right now. It's like when someone has a party at your house and doesn't clean up anything and leaves it all trashed. Yeah, there's lots of reasons to be jealous of boomers and the era they grew up in. Pictures of American families in the 50's invoke the same feelings in me that blacks get when they see pictures of Wakanda.

You have glorified a not so glorious time period. I knew many parents of boomers who were alcoholics due to WWII and other wars. Fathers who came home from work and drank and yelled and.... functional alcoholics.
I knew many boomers who lost fathers, brothers, uncles in the Vietnam War. At the beginning of the Vietnam war I knew college students who signed up to be medics who never came home. I knew guys who who experienced the effects of agent orange and saw how it affected their children. I knew mothers and fathers who were abusive to their children both physically and sexually and society turned a blind eye.
I remember gas lines, War protests, and crazy hippy crap. We lived on college campus in the 60s and that was not pretty or good for children. I knew kids who did LSD. There is good and bad in every time period, make the best of your time because in 40 years some will be writing about how your time was the best.... and you will know it was not so bright and shiny.

Basically everything you mentioned war related we can say ditto to thanks to the Middle East (including gulf war syndrome and the debate of chemical/biological weapons used against US troops.) Everything alcohol related we can say ditto to and add heroin/opiates/meth to.
The drugs available to high schoolers and middle schoolers nowadays would shock you. LSD? Yawn, most middle schoolers can hook you up with it. Weed? What strain? The average dealer only offers 50+ varieties. Method is the only thing that makes me sad when I hear about middle schoolers that experiment with it. Modern times have much worse and destructive drugs available. That doesn’t even include the pharmaceuticals that anyone can get just by asking a doctor.
I’d say the only things we have better than the boomer age is entertainment, which is proving to be very mentally destructive, technology, which is somewhat destructive if used improperly but is also extremely convenient and efficient, and medical advances (excluding psych meds that over half of Americans are on).
Also comparing then to modern day purchasing power, college tuition, food quality (when food was actually real and not genetic or processed), housing prices...
I get it wasn’t all perfect all the time, but there is no argument that the lowest low then was anywhere close to any of the top 10 modern lows. This just made people more jealous of what you all had, a quality of life/society that was so different from today it soon won’t even be believed, and will be such a contrast to modern life that it will looked at as fantasy.

This is what I had growing up we lived with either my mothers parents or my dad's. Both grandparents had small two bedroom houses which meant my parents and my brothers and sisters slept in the same room. Finally when my mother was pregnant with her sixth child my dad's father helped them buy a small house, I was 11 at the time. I am the oldest of 8 kids. I only went to school until the 8th grade because I was needed at home. Back then it was still acceptable to take a girl out of school to help at home. I never attended high school or finished junior high. I took the GED and got enough Community College under my belt to get in the Air Force when I was 29, which I did to get money to go to college.
I served in the Gulf War thinking I might die for George H's oil interests.
When I got home from the gulf I had kids and staid home to home-school them in part because the P in the DPT vaccine cause seizure disorders in all of our children. I finally finished my BA in my 50s and am now in grad school. My student loan debt is over 100,000 and because I staid home I have no social security. I joined the moral majority, the contract with America, the tea party, we protested against abortion and.... My husband was ground crew for AA and personally knew both the flight crew's on 9/11 . I could keep writing.
There are more people awake now which is why there is movement toward the light. I have spent most of my life awake and most of that was with the thought that this nation would become something evil if other folks did not wake up. I hate putting people in to demographic groups whether it is by age or by skin color or any other reason. The only way MAGA works is if we go as one, united we stand, divided we fall. In my mind there are no boomers, gen Xers, Millennial, and when the census comes around we refuse to check a race box. We are either all Americans or we will all die at the hands of the far left ideology. I plan on dying as an American not as a female boomer of undisclosed racial and religious background. I am proud to be replying to another outstanding American like you!
I refuse to let a leftist demographic define me.
