The Parent Trap: An Endless Blame Game?
The Cascading build up of Children who would be Parents, staying Children only to split up later. A Govt induced Generations old Phenomena? Not really, given the history of it all..,
My children are not adults, yet they are in their 30s, One Married with a child and wife and one just married. Neither have spoken to me in years. What happened?
Of course like many, we are responsible as parents for all their woes in life. (If we are even still together, once empty nesters). after the split sides are chosen and more often than not these days one parent becomes the villain, in the minds of the children. The psyche clinicians of the day call it PAS, Parent Alienation Syndrome.
Well PAS when closely examined by anyone who bothers to care, it really not a syndrome. It’s an effect, revealed as a symptom by those doing their homework, pointing to a much larger problem in society, Massive concentration of wealth and power operating outside the governments we elect to effect the rule of law we signed up for when we vote.
The reality is some of us raising K-12 kids in our recent parenting past are getting it from all sides from our children and will no doubt soon get it from their children, our grandchildren. We haven’t stopped being parents, and well or children, now mature biologically speaking still have child like minds.
What went wrong along the way to cause
the ‘shunning’ which knows no end.
No its not a Boomer thing or their fault. Boomers were simply the benefactors of a ‘never been seen before’ by the middle and working class prosperity, largely heaped on them by the winners of world war II, self medicating after siding, they found out later, with banker interests.
That first found sense of entitlement created in the late 40s and and early 50s in the Boomers persists today in their Children and their subsequent offspring.
Today their own grand children have the same set of expectations foisted on them in a variety of ways by ‘society’ , originating as messages direct and subliminal sent by mainstream media to their TVs and more often by social media to their virtual desktops surfacing on mobile and notebook or laptop screens.
Who are paying to send those messages? Those that benefit from the outcomes they create. Which means those with the biggest marketing budgets win.
The champions of biggest market budgets? One industry stands out more than any other and that is Big Pharma.
So while parents and grand parents alike struggle to meet their entitlement demands with seriously diminished buying power scratching their heads as to why their children are ‘little bitches’ twenty four by seven, if one steps back and thinks it through the evidence to actually locate the real ‘root cause’ bit, one can see the root cause comes from those whose only interest is concentration of wealth with no regard for humanity. The faceless label behind which these megalomaniacs hide is “Shareholder Interest’, which is always ‘the outcome’ prioritized highest by the corporate entity and those that run them.
Back in 1946 Truman and then even more, Eisenhower built back better, building the Interstate highways to mimic what they had seen in Germany known as the AUTOBAHN, and as result their were jobs galore backed by a real Treasury of Gold, and profits galore for all sizes of business. In the history of the world this period of prosperity for such a large group of people had never ever been seen before by this sixth epoch of humans..
Now getting back to this ‘PAS’ labelled trend of parents shunning their parents while still acting like children and tryin to be the buddies (and not parents) to their own children started in the late 60s.
Back then, as I recall, my older ‘Between the Boomer and Jones Baby Bubbles’ brother was aping the railing of the Boomers railing ‘at the man’ and ‘the draft’. in 69 through to about 1974. A ‘Whiter Shade of Pale’ typically ended every dance at high school of his ‘between the booms’ mini generation.
For us Jones types, it was, wait for it, “Stairway to heaven”. Our Generation lasted only 5 short years, like the ‘between the booms’ in duration, but actual three times large in population, so Led Zeppelin trumped everything for awhile until disco, between the two manufactured oil and gas shortages by OPEC (really the shareholders of Saudi Aramco, BP and Exxon who were 49% partners with their Arab State partners)
So the current sense of entitlement we see in GenZ, was largely first rooted to a large extent in the Boomer’s fabulous 50s up bringing, where for the first time ever in the west for the middleclass and part of the working class, anything was possible, and by the end of the 60s the job market had tightened up. As such a large strata of the youth growing up in the 50s and 60s got everything they wanted, jobs after school were by and large abundant, even higher education was a possibility for most of the middle class with good marks. Then it was ‘rinse and repeat’ for those kids who became parent children in the 70s birthing Gen X, even though they could not afford it.
By the time Gen X became high schoolers in the 80s, their Boomer buying power had been systematically eroded by those cony capitalists, whose main collective call then as it is day was keeping the herd off balance and distrubed via the media, all the while instrumenting the herd’s (us) consumption of food and drugs to slowly cull ‘their’ herd.
The Jones Gen born in the late 50s and early 60s, that second but shorter Demographic bulge of ‘excess’ births were the first generation, about 4 years aafter the end of the boomer baby bulge ended, to experience Hyperinflation and 20% loan and mortgage interest rates. The Jones type were probably the last generation not so much entitled because their parent’s disposable income was tight and because they were child number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or even lower on the totem pole with much less of a chance of being financed by the ‘bank of dad’.
So the Jones types got out there and worked, head down. About 1/3 of them during high school started to scrimp to save, then most subscribed to govt loans to go to college or university. At some point, after a few years in the workforce paying of their student loan and scrimping and saving, delaying marriage into their late 20s or even early 30s, possibly buying a modest home for a starter family at age 30 or more.
These Jones types rubbed shoulders with the future architects of their disposable income erosion, the same ones going to expensive frat houses and partying their asses off most of the time, an echo of previous Boomer behavior but on a much larger scale, because back then in Boomer land, only about 11% of the population actually did post high school education.
Thus in the late ‘40s to about ‘53 it’s now easy to see that the First Generation of Princes and Princesses were born in seven years of prosperity. That scared the hell out of government in restrpsect when the Boomer protests assembled in the late 60s and lieterally freaked out the crony capitalists running the show.
Then as the Boomers woke up after Woodstock, they birthed the ‘lost Gen X types’ for 10 years and now, two generations later, their Boomer grand children ‘GenZ’ were starting to graduate from some Marxist college or university somewhere, at least 60% of them While they are aspiring parents, most are still children themselves in mind and spirit, with one big difference like Gen Y, they have next to zero buying power given the cost of everything these days. As normal in history, the blame game kicks in when a generation does not get what they want, material or attention, so they cry foul and do and say what they want anyway, charging their credit cards.
That said, the blame is clearly mis-directed, largely because we have as a whole never bothered to figure out the real root cause of our ‘generational’ dilemas, believing what is foisted on us daily by crony capitalist controlled media TV and social.
Gen Z today all want their house before they turn 30, thank you very much, and are screaming loudly or, alternatively, moping about on social media when they can’t get or extort what they want from what is often a single parent and mom, as their “inheritance”.
Their anger, like the anger of previous generations, is all misplaced on previous generations.
As for the Jones Gen and their Gen I/Y kids, same story to a somewhat lesser degree, because the Jones buying power had not yet totally dried up as dual income parents through the 80s and early 90s when they had kids much later than their Boomer elder brothers and sisters birthing Gen X.
It was pretty typical back then in Boomer and Jones Gens to have large families ,5, 6, 7 and even more strung over both of these demographic bumps in the west.
Of course the govts in the West got to work after the 65- 68 big city riots as Boomers everywhere became of voting age. Woodstock in 69 was a symptom of the growing constant pressure applied by govts of the manifest as high single income taxation and even higher total double income taxation per their crony capitalist masters. The governments disguised their ‘need’ as a lack of social fairness programs to combat the growing drug problems they had engineered in the first place.
The corny capitalists had done their part, increasing scarcity of everything good and increasing easy access to everything that was bad for human health, with the former goods suffering from inflated prices to boost their profits.
By the ealry 70s Kissinger sent his emissary Bush to wake up China to get it ready to ship all jobs to Asia Pac, both crushing union demands and the single income family in the middle and lower classes in ‘one fell swoop’.
That shift of high paying manufacturing jobs to Asia, combined with more taxation pressure has only increased today under the current purview of the Technocrats and Eugenics Practioneers running the show. Think Elon and Bill. Governments used the increase in tax dollars up to a point, until it was not enough money, so the government just printed more money supply to fund their own ballooning Marxist work force.
Today in the West, the government workforce size is rapidly approaching one govt worker for every three employed in the private sector. In the 60s by comparison, it was about one federal govt worker for every 8 employed or working in the private sector.
Fast forward to 2024 and the past four years.
The current crop of Globalists led by their ‘vaunted’ WEF/UN (Rothschild and Rockefeller Cadres’ scripted) policies have done their best to shorten life spans across all living generations, all but wiping out the “Greatest Generation” the winners of world war II with vaccines and ventilators.
These govts have all worked hard to collaboratively worldwide, turn every subsequent generation of children worldwide into dumbed down, over-vaxxed and often autistic key kids, wandering the streets in high school age as literally pack animals, waiting for their parents to ‘take them out to supper’, or ‘order in’. That is Gen Z in a nutshell.
Meanwhile their stressed out Gen X and even Gen I ‘parent children’, disillusioned with this drudger of serving their Gen Z kids 24*7, now are more intent on pursuing their original dreams as taught by their Marxist instructors in their K-12 classes in the 70s, 80s and 90s into graduate and post grad studies.
It’s seen by these Gen Z parents much like a circular, self-perpetuating ‘multi-flush down the toilet of life’ problem with apparently no way out. No wonder they suffer from massive depression.
Never mind the govt subsidization of population replacement going on in real time right now, to replace most everyone in the West with lower income, more complacent and easier to manage labor, controlled by credit score communism to boost crony capitalist profits.
Yes Gen I, GenY and even newly minted Gen Z parents continue to split up at record rates. Their children, who are mostly well below voting age and in some cases just toddlers require single working parents to find a replacement working mate to help cover the bills. Some single parents join forces and move in with other to care for their combined two or three children together, often with Grandma Jones or Grandma Gen X helping out, with sometimes three families in a house sharing the rent. Shades of the dirty 30s, only worse.
Of course, their are exceptions in the minority of Jones, Gen X and Gen I parents whom, by and large, are mostly good parents. Most did stick together, at least until their kids hit voting age, dishing out along the way to their Gen Y, Gen Z and now Gen A kids 'tough love' daily advice.
Any good parent will try to guide their children to a decent job path which is Marxist programmed these days to go to college and university for more Marxist programming. However these parents have already been undermined, as Gen I and Gen X parents are dealing with 100% Marxist programming for most of the work week of their K12 kids, who are told by Marxist educators daily, they should ‘get what they want’ and everyone gets a ribbon for participation.
For the new Gen A born 2010 or later, now in high school merged in with the last of the Gen Z’s graduating High School, these Gen As are generally not getting, or even have notion of getting, any of that 'tough love' serving because the parents are too busy working on saving for a mini-house to they can be enslaved to pay for a a bloated over priced house mortgage at higher interest rates.
So the circular flush continues, powered by the ‘misplaced’ child mind ‘blame game’.
Now tough love, what is that anyway? Well it goes something like this:
"you can't always get what you want"
expecially when a parent realities of disposable income scarcity set in,
"so get over it, this is the way life really works and, where the jobs are (so pick the right elective courses), and this is how you eat right and run a bank account on your own and shop for clothing within your budget to avoid the credit trap waiting for you”.
There is however, imo a ‘sliver of hope’ remedy to what is really the demolition of civilization.
keeping Parents locked into the Blame Games and Shunning nightmares operating in their children’s minds forever, pervasive across generations, does not solve anything for the children dishing out this prolonged tantrum.
The remedy is actually now self-effecting. Remarkably, given the extreme lack of income circumstances and lack of prospects facing these latest Gen Z, Y and I parent generations, these ‘parent children’ are now actually being forced by such circumstances to become educated adults, as they come to the realization:
“Hey we should not vote for the ‘a holes’ that promote scarce resources at high prices
as these ‘types’ are the same ones eroding their buying power at a rate of 10% a year,
which is why we can’t afford anything and are living off our credit cards, just barely paying interest to keep our credit scores in good shape. “
If even 20% of these new adults Vote for those looking to overhaul K12,
So the solution, many of these parents of GenZ nd now genA chidlren are coming to is to first flush out the Marxists in the K-12 school system, to get rid of their woke virus infecting their children’s minds with grandiose entitlements, like inheritance after high school and gender neutral bathroom, not to mention Transgender education.
Om doing a bit more introspection as to the root cause of their lack of disposable income and the high prices that surround them everywhere they look, these parents are now actually doing ‘root cause analysis’ of the probem.
Good on them.
Imo their ‘lot in life’ will turn around in the west, only when they vote to see the populists elected to have enough influence to shrink government and re-jig local economies to spring back to life with local manufacturing of well, everything.
In 2017 to 2019 the West, specifically the USA, saw a bit of this prosperity emerge under the 45th, but not enough, before the big steal in 2020 took them back to the same shitty situation under the eight years of the communist 44th.
Heck, maybe American citizens will even see smartphones made in the USA again, one day soon,
but only after these generations first start to shed their leftist ‘woke virus’ and actually wake up to who is really screwing with the family unit, and 'their children’s ‘hardship’ is not their parents doing.
Parents are realizing finally, its really guys like ‘Bill’ and ‘Elon’ and the money players behind them, their crony capitalist ‘friends’ in NYC and Silicon Valley, who have been using Barry the Communist to run the Biden dope show, who are now likely running the 5ft8inch STUMP government in eating Mara Lago show, that it these types and trheir seriously rich buddies who run the scarcity game while they pilfer govt treasuries to fund their tax payer subsidized businesses designed to control and cull us, the herd.
More importantly maybe, just maybe the 6ft3inch 45th shows up on Jan 20th 2025 to become the 47th, to take the reigns and point the west in the right direction of a return to prosperity, we will see.
If 5ft8inch ‘STUMP’ shows up on the 20th of 2025 to become president, then well its more of the same.
What is clear though, with a little bit of root cause homework, kids of all gens, will learn to stop blaming their parents for everything.
The matrix in which we live is one of rigged ‘fake scarcity’ and ‘climate hoax’ gaming. It’s s matrix of collusive racketeering organized among crony capitalist beneficiaries designed to profit from our suffering, manifested as a continuous shrinking of our buying power and disposable income coupled with the un realistic entitlements taught our children by Marxists at our schools.
As Putin put it so eloquently, it been a ‘Vampire’s Ball’ in the West, which now must end.
One thing is for sure, like 911, Gen I, Y and Z will not forget the past four years VAX skullduggery and Big Pharma super profits, fueled by unprecedented excess deaths and injury from the jab.
The smaller Gen X demographic, well they got their pot in most states and in Canada, so they will be just fine self medicating.
The Jones? well they retire with fixed incomes and will keep working to keep the lights turned on, likely bunching up together to share costs, just like their university years.
As for the children and their relationship with their parents, regardless of the generation, stop the blame game, because it’s not their fault.
TK over and out.
