Every generation since the dawn of man has passed hard-won knowledge down to their posterity. That may seem like stating the obvious—and in any other age it would be—but something unprecedented happened to the West in the 1960s.
Wht happened was the parents of gens X and Y decided not to hand down the traditions they’d inherited from their ancestors.
It’s not that the generations born after the 60s weren’t interested. A fellow Y once told me that his accountant dad never taught him about investing. Whenever he’d ask for financial advice, his dad would just say, “You don’t need to worry about investing until you’ve got ten grand saved up.”
That’s just one example of many. But why beat a dead horse when we can see the effects of this treason to tradition everywhere? Baby Boomers love to browbeat Millennials over not knowing how to change a tire. They seldom stop to ask why that is.

The following goes for members of every generation from the Greats to Gen Y: If it comes to your attention that a younger member of your family lacks a basic skill that you possess, you are obliged to teach him.
Perhaps parents of the generations since the Silents have been so conditioned to let the state raise their kids, they figure the schools are teaching this stuff. That possibility itself speaks to a woeful ignorance of what goes on in schools these days.
Then again, the abandonment of parental instruction started decades before the schools started mandating devil worship. This widespread neglect has run up a bill that is now coming due.
- Many Zoomers do not know how to address an envelope
- The skilled trades workers who maintain our infrastructure are retiring, and no one is replacing them
- Much of the web’s digital architecture was created by men who are soon retiring, already retired, or dead. When the last of them goes, there will be no one who understands the code and processes needed to keep the digital age running
- Most young men cannot find young women who know how to microwave mac and cheese without burning it
- Large numbers of Millennials and Zoomers practical heathens whose only knowledge of Christianity comes from Reddit and Netflix.
The question hanging over the West is, what could have come over a whole generation to make them deny their children centuries of cultural heritage? It’s popular to blame the Boomers’ hands-off approach to parenting, whereby they let minors with still-dewveloping brains figure out “their own truth.”
Looking at outcomes offers us another hint. In America today, most kids can expect seven hours of Death Cult indoctrination five days a week for twelve years. And that’s before college. Judges can now order their chemical castration at the bidding of demoniac mothers. Both parents, along with every institution, pressure them into usury in the hope of landing jobs long since destroyed by imported slave labor. The only comforts they have left are free porn and legalized weed.

The only motive that could cause elder generations to spiritually and materially abuse their own posterity is hatred–diabolical hatred with no earthly rationale.
At the end of the day, the forces that made Boomers traitors to tradition are—as usual—sin and Satan.
And the only way to recover the Western tradition is returning to the Tradition preserved in the Church founded by Jesus Christ.

Sometimes I feel anxious that I’m not teaching my kids *enough*. Like, as homeschoolers, shouldn’t we be reading the Greek philosophers by now?
And then I read one of these articles.
We’re gonna be fine. We may not get to Aristotle, but my boys can cook, keep their own business accounts, repair a lawnmower, grow food, and do math without a calculator.
Of course, I had to learn all that stuff on my own, because my parents are boomers…
If Mr. Niemeier does not mind, I just wanted to mention here that I just posted the final chapter in the serialization of my story The Mayor of Christ Mountain.
The story starts here and there is a Next chapter link at the bottom of each page: https://zaklog.wordpress.com/2023/08/09/april-9-2010-arrival/
The last chapter (posted today) is here: https://zaklog.wordpress.com/2023/05/04/march-16-2020/
Mr. Niemeier did some editing work on this story, but this is not that version, which I am working on getting published in print and ebook.
If you take a look, let me know what you think.
“Now that all of our tradesmen are retiring, we’ll have to invite foreign instructors to train up the next generation.”
“Staff the trades with masses of low-IQ foreigners who hate their host country and work for pennies? That’s brilliant!”
“Hey! That’s not what I said!”
“We’ll even house them in complimentary one-room tiny houses, so that they won’t have to pay rent.”
The amount of people who think the internet is forever are going to be in for a very rude awakening much sooner than they think.
In regards to Christianity, all you have to do is talk to anyone and I guarantee you’ll get the same stock answers divided by generation as to why they don’t believe. Boomers to Millennials it’s going to be Hollywood logic based on something some liar said due to cartoon Christians on TV or the movies, or it’s some room temperature IQ book pushed by OldPub that assures you that the author is the only authority you need on the subject. some might say they aren’t Christian due to experience, but dig deep enough and they will use the same language of miserable blowhards like Hitchens.
As for anyone younger, I would assume it’s all internet brainrot lingering from the fedtube movement that continued the skeptics’ work in dismantling basic thought and convincing kids that things are getting worse because we’re not smashing things with a hammer fast enough. Lack of local community has also led them online to be groomed into all kinds of disgusting habits and fetishes that separate them so far from reality that I have no idea how you can even reach them.
Unless it’s all corralled back again, the times will only continue spinning out of control. More “freedom” to destroy yourself will not fix the problem.
“The amount of people who think the internet is forever are going to be in for a very rude awakening much sooner than they think.”
Tangibly so. My facility’s climate control refuses to run without an Internet connection, because that’s how badly the corporate management in Denver wants to micromanage its peons. At least the thermostats aren’t Google Nests.
The movement toward centralized corporate control of franchise HVAC systems may not be the most clownish of Clown World humiliation rituals, but it’s up there. So far, my local Walmart and movie theater both told me the staff can’t adjust the temperature inside; only corporate can.
When we win, the coffee spoon-measuring misers who came up with this diabolical idea go to the camps without local thermostats.
In defense of the corporatists, they were probably told to do that by the feds. They tell us that it’s “sustainability,” when in reality, it’s to keep our ancient grid from failing like South Africa’s.
“Lack of local community has also led them online to be groomed into all kinds of disgusting habits and fetishes that separate them so far from reality that I have no idea how you can even reach them.”
I’m not sure if I’ll ever have children, but if I do, I don’t think I’ll let my son/daughter use the internet (at least not without supervision) until I’m absolutely sure they’re old enough to handle it properly.
It wasn’t until I started to grasp the damage Boomers have done that this verse began to made sense:
Exodus 20:5
“Visit the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and fourth generation.”
Adam was the head of mankind, so his sin had ramifications for all of us. In a lesser but very real sesne, every father is the head of the domestic Church. In the latter case, it’s not his offspring getting punished for his sin, but the natural consequences of him failing in his headship.
“it’s not his offspring getting punished for his sin, but the natural consequences of him failing in his headship.”
I never thought I’d see that in action, and yet here we are.
I love my father but it used to annoy me when growing up.
He was a boomer, I am Gen y.
Growing up he would go to the garage to work on project and I would ask if I could join because I was interested in both spending time with dad and wanted to learn how he repairs the cars etc. He would tell me to go play with my Brother and Sister or Neighbors instead.
I got very interested in video games. As many of us have done.
It also annoy me that he would come into the room and tell me that I am wasting my time with video games and should go outside instead.
Could not win.
Oh well I have the internet to teach me things I guess. But man I would love to spend more time with him back then.
