TO @mtgreenee IN DEFENSE OF BOOMERS!! Back in our day, colleges had a few loud radical leftists. Now they’re everywhere, loud, and angry and they still blame Boomers for the mess. They are taught to hate themselves and their country. They believe men can become women (and vice versa) by declaration. They’re obsessed with race in the most counterproductive way possible treating every outcome as proof of systemic oppression while ignoring individual behavior, culture, and the massive progress that actually happened. And instead of blaming the people and ideologies that pushed this worldview into every institution, they point at Boomers. That’s not analysis. That’s brainwashing dressed up as enlightenment. The “long march through the institutions” was real. A minority of 1960s radicals didn’t just protest they stayed in academia, became professors, and eventually controlled hiring. Faculty political ratios went from noticeable left tilt in the ’60s–’90s to extreme monocultures today: often 10:1, 15:1, or worse liberal-to-conservative in humanities and social sciences. Far-left faculty have grown dramatically while conservatives became rare. The result? Generations raised on critical theory, grievance studies, and the idea that Western civilization (especially America) is defined by oppression rather than its achievements. Boomers didn’t invent this. A subset of us lived through the early stages and many of us rejected it. The average Boomer worked, raised families, paid taxes, and expanded opportunity. We, lived through and supported the real civil rights era color-blind equality under law, not racial score-settling. Built the post-war economy, suburbs, infrastructure, and technological foundations (internet precursors, computing, medical advances) that younger people now take for granted. Navigated the Cold War and helped bring down Soviet communism. Created the wealth and stability that made today’s safety nets and opportunities possible. The current version of “social justice” biological denial on sex, racial essentialism, national self-loathing, and “punch a Boomer” energy is a later-stage product of captured institutions, not something Boomers as a generation imposed. Most Boomers still believe in observable reality: there are two sexes, judging people by skin color is wrong either way, and America, for all its flaws, has been a net force for human flourishing. Blaming “Boomers” is the laziest possible scapegoat. It lets the actual drivers (ideological capture of education, media, HR departments, and tech platforms) off the hook. It ignores that many Boomers are as disgusted by this stuff as anyone. And it’s historically illiterate every generation has produced radicals and conformists. Judging 76 million people by the worst campus activists is the same tribal stupidity they claim to oppose. I could write a whole book on how a handful of bad ideas metastasized into cultural dominance while the people who benefited most from Boomer-era progress turned around and spat on the generation that built the platform they’re standing on. The angry ones aren’t the victims of Boomers. They’re the product of an education system that replaced critical thinking with approved narratives. Stop blaming your grandparents. Start questioning what you were taught. ...and don't even get me started with government corruption and the cancer of MARXISM!
