Unconditional surrender and regime change in WW 2 provides the tacit norm for those who complain about "endless war" but wars that end in unsatisfactory ways that lay the groundwork for the next war is closer to the historical norm. Recognizing this would bring the "red pilled"
closer to reality rather than steeping them more deeply in "Boomerist" or "uniparty" myths. Acknowledging the existence of enmity as part of the human condition would be more "based" than inventing conspiracies to explain the wars you feel you were promised an end to.
All the more reason for some kind of Zoomer history project, perhaps with prizes for whoever bursts some widely believed "myth" without just replacing it with some pleasant lies. A way to create generational leaders.
@slooperbia50068 The second use is qualified--I'm not necessarily conceding they are all myths, or only mythic.
@slooperbia50068 No, I don't want to transcode Marxism as Zoomerism; I want to stop treating generations as unified agents.
@slooperbia50068 Nothing. There is no "Zoomer" to desire anything. Different people within that age bracket want many different things, sometimes opposed to those of other members of that age group. Generational politics is all marketing. But we can identify certain necessities, like housing,
@slooperbia50068 employment, etc., that will confront people in specific demographics with specific constraints that might be eased in specific ways. And lower fertility rates and other factors cause power to flow to older people. So, there will be certain questions.
@slooperbia50068 The hype I've noticed most is from "Woke Reich" radicalizers who want to leverage Zoomers against the existing priorities of the Republican party. Housing and jobs get mentioned, vaguely, but the real priority is hating Israel and Jews. They're why you don't own homes, etc.
@slooperbia50068 Posing the "Zoomers" against the "Boomers" (somehow intervening generations get left out) gives the impression of a mass movement whose demands must be capitulated to.
