this all sounds very nice, and in print seems logical, but the reality of what i've seen over the past two years is that millenials (particularly women) are far more irrationally scared of the virus than older generations. maybe that's the result of growing up in the age of school shooters, and being conditioned to shelter in place in your classrooms?
I am a boomer raising twin 9 year old granddaughters. I'm homeschooling due to a number of issues primarily mandates. In a desire to insure social contact with others their age they are in a couple clubs. I've become friends with a large number of millennials. My experience? They are terrified of the virus and take literally everything Fauci has said as gospel. They are incapable of critical thinking or having a rational discussion about the effects of lockdowns, masks or the vaccine itself. Not one has done any research on adverse effects of the vaccine even though they are experts at researching every ailment afflicting them or their family. If I point out issues with the vaccines or challenge the mask efficacy the name calling begins. It seemed to be more about virtue signaling and following exactly what they were told. And their fear is amplified. I give up. Sometimes people have to learn for themselves. I'll do me. And wait for them to catch up.
I’m a millennial mom. While I agree for some, throughout the mask mandates it was moms like me with little kids shopping and going about life maskless. It’s moms fighting neoracist ideology. Moms fighting sexualization of our kids. Moms fighting for the next generation.
There are too many ignorant, selfish, childless, woke morons in my generation, and some do have kids they are sacrificing at the alter of wokeness. It’s also the moms (and dads) of our generation actually raising the next generation that are fighting back. At school board meetings, local elections, soccer practice, and so many other places. My own kids have never worn a mask, despite mandates - even in school - which is one of the top in NC and also conservative, private, Christian , woke rejecting, big, and with a huge waitlist to get in).
NCMom, I have seen a lot of you on TV and commend you on your fight. I've removed my twins from the school's influence for the exact same reasons. I speak of just my own personal interactions with those in my circle. Keep fighting, I am with you!
Thank you!!! I’ve convinced 4 families to get their kids out of public schools in the last month. Hopefully choice will take hold. We are fortunate ours are in an excellent conservative Christian school that’s one of the best in NC. That said, homeschooling is booming and some version is the wave of the future. We have lots of friends that chose that path to avoid the mandates and their kids are thriving.
Tomorrow’s leaders will be the kids who were raised by people who used their brains during this. It’s sad how so many were thrown out like trash by idiotic policies and wokeness. But those kids are too broken to lead anything. We can only hope to heal as many as possible.
Very well written article, but slightly askew and she is quite possibly not grasping the real picture.
However, not her fault since the boomers span a crossover generation from 1946-1963/4 almost 20 years and a few other reasons.
I am a boomer born at the end of the generation in 1963 to a 1st gen German immigrant Mother, 3 gen immigrant Italian Father. Illiterate, poor, nothing but love, loyalty and family values given to me and my 5 sibs.
My German mother washed her cloths by hand everyday because she had 2 outfits in her wardrobe (circa 1955 Chicago).
My German grandfather shared stories of Hitler and how his parents couldn’t buy a loaf of bread with a wheelbarrow filled with money.
My Italian father grew up hard and on the streets. Yes, that stereotype was true, Italian, uneducated anything to make a buck.
It was drilled in my brain and I happily drill it in my children’s brains, why we are living Free today and in America. Not one day goes by that I don’t thank my lucky stars “to be living here today” (quote create to Lee Greenwood).
But I get it, Maybe I am an anomaly, I know what hardships me and my family endured. Education was not important to my family. 1 out of 6 graduated HS, (circa 1981) 1 of 6 paid their own way and graduated Cum Laude (circa 2012). Better late than never.
Sadly I must say, my Millennial son and Gen X/ME gen son don’t enjoy scenery, playing outdoors, simple kitchen table conversation, and waiting patiently.
I personally, am very disappointed in the millennial Gen, I find them to be the most self absorbed, impatient, self centered cry baby generation and think they deserve something just because they are here.
So you can spare me how everything is falling squarely on the shoulders of a 20 something person because apparently we all just sat back and had everything handed to us on a silver platter waiting for the brilliant ones to show up.
I can relate to a lot of what you said here, despite I was born in 1954. We had a ringer wash machine, and hung our clothes on a line. We lived in a one bedroom apartment in DC; my brother and I slept in the living room. Life progressively improved, moved to a 2 bedroom apartment and eventually a house. I thought, wow, a house. LOL. It was a big deal to buy your own home (the American dream).
My parents lived through the great depression, and their values and strict ways, didn't harm me. They made me stronger. We lived in a whole other world than kids today.
I didn't spoil my son now 47, and I like his work ethic and values he learned. We reap what we sow.
My grandchildren did not turn out so good. His wife and her people, well....children are like sponges, and their greatest mentors are their parents. Whether they want to or not, they emulate their parents to some degree. That is a big responsibility; molding a child and teaching them to survive in this world; compassionate, strong, moral, honest....
You are not an anomaly. When I was in Catholic grade school my history teacher talked a bit about baby boomers. He said the baby boom was caused by the pent up amorous desire of the guys coming home after WW2. That must have been a hell of a pent up desire to last as long as it did, and my dad was in the Army during Korea! The Baby Boom moniker was applied to us late in the game when folks decided to start naming all the “generations” something cute and they needed to fill a gap. Coming late in the game like you, I don’t think I fit in very well with the WW2 babies.
Thank you for sharing this perspective from the Millennial generation, Dr. Malone. Younger generations tend to have undergone greater degrees of indoctrination over the course of their education, so it is encouraging to see some are awake and taking action accordingly.
I know you’ve been a supporter of Governor DeSantis, Dr. Malone, so I wanted to encourage you and others to join me in calling for him to veto HB 7021 by 2/24 (tomorrow). HB 7021 extends the liability protections hospitals/medical facilities currently receive for implementing murderous COVID protocols, so vetoing this will help save the lives of Floridians.
I’ve written a detailed letter with extensive documentation regarding hospicide by remdesivir, ventilation, and malnourishment. Please see my letter and feel free to include it in your own requests to Gov. DeSantis:
Wonderful, Dr. Malone, and thank you for taking action on this!
I would be grateful if you would help get the word out to your followers so they can submit their own comments by 2/24 and help send a clear message that we must stop hospicide!
Thank you for keeping us informed about how we can encourage Ron Desantis. I will work on emails to the addresses you shared! I appreciate your leadership!!
I sent a request to Governor Desantis several days ago to please don't sign. I also sent my disapproval to the Florida House/Senate reps for St. Petersburg, ( my area) Linda Chaney and Jeff Brandes, for their "yes" vote. Crickets. Obamacare allowed big business to take over our healthcare system...wonder how many political favors make policy? We have much work to do.
The "anti-riot " bill had nothing to do with January 6. It was in reponse to " the summer of love 2020" when people lost their homes, businesses and sadly some their lives. It was in response to the burning buildings, sirens and gun fire noise we heard on our TV's while MSM said it was " mostly peaceful" and, after all, we deserved it because of our nations history. A few notable provisions: the bill provides for swift arrests and not getting out of jail till first court appearance. No, Florida was not going to become a cesspool like Portland. Damage historical property will earn a 2nd degree felony and up to 10 years in prison. I am hoping you are not familiar with the bill, if you are, well then...
I’m familiar with the highlights. I didn’t read the bill. I’m very leery of any law that can be used to curtail our rights to gather and protest. This one does that as far as I can see. It grants new police powers to a state government. As far as I’m concerned all state governments could do with less power not more. There are plenty laws that can be used for those that damage property and hurt people. What this had to do with Jan. 6 is that the legislation was DOA when first introduced but got a boost after the events 1/6. Maybe DeSantis plans to try to use this law against “thuggery” but the language is broad enough that it will be used by a totalitarian/socialist governor when the time comes...and it will come.
You may want to read Jeff Childers blog from yesterday concerning this bill. The gov office did contact him and they talked at length. Jeff seems to be cutting the governor some slack for the moment.
Yes, I saw that third option on the table—it’s a compromise but progress toward reducing hospicide. I added a note about it to the comments of my post yesterday. I still think it’s worth contacting him to let him know people want the murderous protocols addressed, but I was relieved to know there’s another option being considered.
Unfortunately many of the millennials I know don't have any critical thinking or independent thoughts. They are the ones crying out for Covid passes such as the new global QR system the WHO has just signed a contract for.
While many of the things this young woman said are true, I have to take issue with some of her statements. Many of us parents of millennials did not feel privileged and did not just believe anything that was fed to us. Our parents had not coddled us but made us well aware of the "war on religion, children, and tradition." We knew that "the war is cultural, spiritual, technological, and biological." We were not "raised ignorant of this conniving agenda of the government, big financial interests, and their allies in the intelligence agencies." That's why we chose to make sacrifices and homeschool our children. My husband and I educated our four children at home from the early 90s through 2018, all the way through high school. All our children are Christian, conservative, and active in their church and community. In the last ten years, they have blessed us with 11 grandchildren, and all of school age are being homeschooled. There are many parents/grandparents out there like us. You many not be aware of it, but many homeschooled millennials are now moving into positions of authority in various fields, and they will make a difference. My call to millennials is to refuse to place your kids in government schools and raise and teach them yourselves, as many of us did over the past three or four decades.
I never think in generations or age, maybe that is why I see these capabilities in all generations, almost alike. It is more a personal aspect. By the way....Baby boomers are the ones that live poor WWII era, as they are born in the late '40. The parents of a 27 year old would have been about 45-50 when they got children.....
I see many people questioning what is happening now, I know many who had only 2 or 3 channels on television who questioned validity. I grew up without television because of that questioning. I grew up in a time with internet, mobile phones came just a little later, as an engineer I'm very interested in them but I tend not to use what I don't need. Internet I sometimes need so I do use it but not more then needed, I've tried a mobile phone but it didn't bring me anything so I got rid of it. I've still no television, no radio, no newspapers and I know baby boomers and millennials, even teenagers without but I also know (way too) many who believe everything that is written, addicted to the screen and the MSM presented on it. We're individuals and my choices and those of others have in my opinion little to do with age. We need to stand up together, we all need to do so. Only together we can win.
I’m a boomer and “fully resemble” the description herein, but would add our generation went from Camelot to Watergate; inspired to cynical in regards to politics. The Vietnam Vets had the worst of it.
My millennial off-spring are the ones who read NYT, WS, and watch MSM. It’s gut-wrenching to think they will consider giving their little ones this vaccine. I gave childhood vaccines as an RN; I am not antivax. I wish I knew how to break the hypnosis; not just for our children and grands.
Good to know at least some of the younger generations are still capable of thought. I'm a boomer (circa1956) living with my 45ish daughter and her family. Unlike you, my kids and their kids are completely unable to see beyond legacy media's lies and biases. I've spent the past two years online and reading books trying to find the truth. Not one of them is willing to even look at anything that goes against the narrative. They were all fine getting jabbed, don't see anything wrong with vax passports, surveillance, etc. The difference seems to be a lack of critical thinking despite being raised to question things that don't make sense.
Love the sentiment, but I don't think millennials are as rock solid a group as portrayed. It's written as if they have this band of brothers / sisters focus, I don't see it. How many millennials are left wing progressives? Percentage if pretty high if my observations are correct. Not all baby boomers fit into the category as stated. Many have fought and are fighting this battle. Sorry, article is fantasy land.
A great article and quite true. However, the problem with way too many76 Millennials is they have veen brainwashed by liberal professors in colleges. And they were never taught History! Case in point is AOC and the Squad in DC.
Personally have a 20 yr old grandson and I asked him if he was learning any hisoty i high school. He said yes! And when he turned 18 he and 7 friends went to register to vote and all those boys registered Republican! He said the D party did not represent the values and morals that he and his friends claim. Smart kids! He is now in his 2nd year of college in a blue state bjut so far his values have no ceased.
What scares me is the Millennials will be the future leaders of our country and if many are luke AOC, we are in deep trouble!
Off -topic, but I wanted to briefly report on the launch event for the People'sConvoy, which left this morning from Adelanto, CA and is heading east. My family and were heartened by well over a thousand people and as many vehicles, all gathered in the parking lot of a baseball stadium. Not bad for a very cold, Wed. am. out in the High Desert. Short speeches by attorney Leah Dundas (?), Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Alexander, as well as by a pastor and a lead trucker organizer. Well organized event with a lot of positive energy. Convoy headed east shortly before Noon with the first stop in Kingman, AZ this evening. Hard to estimate the number of vehicles that left in the convoy, but definitely several hundred, with approx. 50-70 big rigs. Could easily see it collect a lot of support along the route as it travel east. A few specific notes:
Drs. Kory and Alexander (who we all greatly respect) were excellent, and were very hard hitting in their criticism of the "vaccines."
The attorney who led off the event, made explicitly clear that this convoy was not going into to DC proper and would not be involved in confrontations with authorities, etc. Essentially, it is a massive P.R. campaign, rather than a confrontational direct action. Probably a good strategy given the foreseeable overreactions by federal authorities and propaganda smear effort by the media.
Local police were actively assisting the convoy by directing traffic to allow vehicles to stay together to reach interstate. Convoy organizers stated that they were actively coordinating with law enforcement authorities throughout the country to ensure a smooth operation. Also, stated that the convoy was utilizing security and logistic experts.
Overall, a positive event and one that should give all of us a bit more optimism that the American tradition of healthy defiance to overreaching governmental authority is still alive and well. Let's hope it continues to grow.
What an interesting and different take on how the mainstream media has informed us…the Millennial perspective makes some excellent points. However, the descriptions of the generations leaves some lines blurred. My parents lived through the Great Depression and (served) in the Second World War, but they did not have me until they were in their 40s. My cousins were a generation older than me. They trusted the government and espoused a My Country Right or wrong mentality. As part of the anti-war Vietnam generation, I and many of my peers had a lot of mistrust of the government at the time. (1960s) We watched the debacle of The Pentagon Papers and the breaking into the psychiatrist’s office (of Daniel Ellsburg) and the unraveling of the presidency by way of Watergate. Other people my age did not question anything and may be the Boomers Katz refers to in the article. Like Millennials we Boomers are not all the same. I also had children later in life so my children are not the same as younger Millennials. The thing that mystifies me about Boomers is the fact that many of them now blindly trust the mainstream media. Where are all the Boomers from yesterday who were protesting with me in Washington chanting “Hey hey LBJ how many kids did you kill today?” and “One Two Three Four we don’t want your f—-ing war?” Where are all the Boomers who were cheering at Woodstock when groups like Country Joe and the Fish sang anti-war songs? And why are those boomers now so quick to accept censorship? I just don’t get how they have accepted the idea that corporations can be the arbiters of the flow of information. None of that makes sense to me. What happened to those people?
Well, there are all types of millennials. There are free thinkers and there are the ones so indoctrinated by liberal education and peer pressure that I don’t believe we will ever get through to them. It’s not just millennials that this applies to and I believe the mindset in this country has different sides at odds with others on so many issues. This is not good, not that it’s bad to think differently, but we are not capable of pulling different sides together.
Nice article...but I do have to speak up for my generation (X), which gets continually forgotten because we are smaller than the mammoth Boomer and Millennial generations. WE were the first digital generation. WE built the Internet. WE started breaking ground outside the mainstream media. Now that's not to say that all Generation Xers "get it," because many of my old high school peers absolutely do NOT get it. But overall, we're the ones that got the ball rolling.
And while it's nice to hear that this Millennial writer here gets it, I think Millennials plus the Boomers combined are (in general) creating the "big squeeze" for tyranny. On the older side we have seniors who don't want to let go of MSM narratives and want everyone to take the covid vaccines because they are afraid of dying. And the younger side, we have Millennials who grew up on Ritalin and are all-in on Big Pharma, and who are otherwise so focused on woke virtue signaling they'll give their freedom away as long as it's painted in a multi-colored rainbow.
So...call me cynical...but I don't have much hope for Millennials but the generation after them. But cynicism is what my generation is known for anyway. :-)
Thank you Rachel!! As a boomer parent, I agree. My childhood was carefree, barefoot summers listening to an AM radio (FM was not available) at a private swimming pool and drinking a glass bottled Coca-Cola in a restricted “ no bottles beyond this point” area was amazing. Then as a child I saw things shift through music. Who is this kid Buddy Holly. On the RCA stereo system ( that was a piece of elegant furniture in my parents home) we listened to Mitch Miller and Lawrence Welk and sang along ! Then this guy Neil Diamond , Vicente somebody and Bing Crosby and the Rat Pack was introduced. Lots of albums to look at while singing along. May King Cole, Edie, Lawrence, Andy Williams, Burt Bac, and then Neil Young and George Carlin and of course Chich and Chong. Things really changed when the Beatles appeared and then just like that someone broke up the band and John is Band on the Run! Then all of a sudden our black and white TV has Yule Brenner playing Pharo , Heston playing Moses and I thought it was “ OK” to don a “ Archie Bunker for President “ T-shirt just to be rebellious against a family member that strongly disliked “ All in The Family “! Now it’s music and TV. Into the teen years we have a converter box so that we can watch Monty Python after returning from our swimming pool summers and bottled Coca-Cola .Only this time the coke is in pop- top cans. It’s so you can stop sweeping broken glass and avoid going to the ER for stitches I think. We made long chains out of them while watching Wild Kingdom, Walt Disney, Bonanza, High Chaparral and Carol Burnett and eating McDonalds two all beef patties , special sauce, lettuce, cheesy, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun- did I say it correctly? Oh, and for dessert 31 Flavors. Somewhere Woodstock happened, and girls could now wear jeans “ on Friday’s only” to school. Yes, we were coddled by our parents in the 50’s ( thank you mom and dad who are now in heaven with Jesus) but let me be clear, this gramma ( me ) was threatened with arrest and willing to go to jail for refusing to wear a mask at a zoo this past summer of 2021. I can stand and fight like a mother bear for our children and grandchildren and for the Rule of Law, Common Rule and Informed Consent and Nuremberg Code! All that to say that Robert and Jill have sacrificed their comfort to inform us that the freedom of critical thinking
is at great peril and that we must wake up and THINK CRITICALLY! Rachel, how refreshing to hear your perspective. Thank you and God’s blessings upon you sweetheart. <•,}}}><

And maybe we should ask him to recall the “anti-rioting” legislation he pushed for after Jan. 6 but I guess that’s set in stone now.

Do you also follow Jeff Childers Coffe and Covid? He’s an atty from Jacksonville area and has some information about this bill and gov desantis. 😁
I looked into it- thanks.
Yes, indeed! That’s who I learned about this from :-)
Unfortunately many of the millennials I know don't have any critical thinking or independent thoughts. They are the ones crying out for Covid passes such as the new global QR system the WHO has just signed a contract for.

While many of the things this young woman said are true, I have to take issue with some of her statements. Many of us parents of millennials did not feel privileged and did not just believe anything that was fed to us. Our parents had not coddled us but made us well aware of the "war on religion, children, and tradition." We knew that "the war is cultural, spiritual, technological, and biological." We were not "raised ignorant of this conniving agenda of the government, big financial interests, and their allies in the intelligence agencies." That's why we chose to make sacrifices and homeschool our children. My husband and I educated our four children at home from the early 90s through 2018, all the way through high school. All our children are Christian, conservative, and active in their church and community. In the last ten years, they have blessed us with 11 grandchildren, and all of school age are being homeschooled. There are many parents/grandparents out there like us. You many not be aware of it, but many homeschooled millennials are now moving into positions of authority in various fields, and they will make a difference. My call to millennials is to refuse to place your kids in government schools and raise and teach them yourselves, as many of us did over the past three or four decades.
Ahem, I think Gen-X is the first generation of the Digital Age
I never think in generations or age, maybe that is why I see these capabilities in all generations, almost alike. It is more a personal aspect. By the way....Baby boomers are the ones that live poor WWII era, as they are born in the late '40. The parents of a 27 year old would have been about 45-50 when they got children.....
I see many people questioning what is happening now, I know many who had only 2 or 3 channels on television who questioned validity. I grew up without television because of that questioning. I grew up in a time with internet, mobile phones came just a little later, as an engineer I'm very interested in them but I tend not to use what I don't need. Internet I sometimes need so I do use it but not more then needed, I've tried a mobile phone but it didn't bring me anything so I got rid of it. I've still no television, no radio, no newspapers and I know baby boomers and millennials, even teenagers without but I also know (way too) many who believe everything that is written, addicted to the screen and the MSM presented on it. We're individuals and my choices and those of others have in my opinion little to do with age. We need to stand up together, we all need to do so. Only together we can win.
I’m a boomer and “fully resemble” the description herein, but would add our generation went from Camelot to Watergate; inspired to cynical in regards to politics. The Vietnam Vets had the worst of it.
My millennial off-spring are the ones who read NYT, WS, and watch MSM. It’s gut-wrenching to think they will consider giving their little ones this vaccine. I gave childhood vaccines as an RN; I am not antivax. I wish I knew how to break the hypnosis; not just for our children and grands.
Good to know at least some of the younger generations are still capable of thought. I'm a boomer (circa1956) living with my 45ish daughter and her family. Unlike you, my kids and their kids are completely unable to see beyond legacy media's lies and biases. I've spent the past two years online and reading books trying to find the truth. Not one of them is willing to even look at anything that goes against the narrative. They were all fine getting jabbed, don't see anything wrong with vax passports, surveillance, etc. The difference seems to be a lack of critical thinking despite being raised to question things that don't make sense.
Love the sentiment, but I don't think millennials are as rock solid a group as portrayed. It's written as if they have this band of brothers / sisters focus, I don't see it. How many millennials are left wing progressives? Percentage if pretty high if my observations are correct. Not all baby boomers fit into the category as stated. Many have fought and are fighting this battle. Sorry, article is fantasy land.
A great article and quite true. However, the problem with way too many76 Millennials is they have veen brainwashed by liberal professors in colleges. And they were never taught History! Case in point is AOC and the Squad in DC.
Personally have a 20 yr old grandson and I asked him if he was learning any hisoty i high school. He said yes! And when he turned 18 he and 7 friends went to register to vote and all those boys registered Republican! He said the D party did not represent the values and morals that he and his friends claim. Smart kids! He is now in his 2nd year of college in a blue state bjut so far his values have no ceased.
What scares me is the Millennials will be the future leaders of our country and if many are luke AOC, we are in deep trouble!
Off -topic, but I wanted to briefly report on the launch event for the People'sConvoy, which left this morning from Adelanto, CA and is heading east. My family and were heartened by well over a thousand people and as many vehicles, all gathered in the parking lot of a baseball stadium. Not bad for a very cold, Wed. am. out in the High Desert. Short speeches by attorney Leah Dundas (?), Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Alexander, as well as by a pastor and a lead trucker organizer. Well organized event with a lot of positive energy. Convoy headed east shortly before Noon with the first stop in Kingman, AZ this evening. Hard to estimate the number of vehicles that left in the convoy, but definitely several hundred, with approx. 50-70 big rigs. Could easily see it collect a lot of support along the route as it travel east. A few specific notes:
Drs. Kory and Alexander (who we all greatly respect) were excellent, and were very hard hitting in their criticism of the "vaccines."
The attorney who led off the event, made explicitly clear that this convoy was not going into to DC proper and would not be involved in confrontations with authorities, etc. Essentially, it is a massive P.R. campaign, rather than a confrontational direct action. Probably a good strategy given the foreseeable overreactions by federal authorities and propaganda smear effort by the media.
Local police were actively assisting the convoy by directing traffic to allow vehicles to stay together to reach interstate. Convoy organizers stated that they were actively coordinating with law enforcement authorities throughout the country to ensure a smooth operation. Also, stated that the convoy was utilizing security and logistic experts.
Overall, a positive event and one that should give all of us a bit more optimism that the American tradition of healthy defiance to overreaching governmental authority is still alive and well. Let's hope it continues to grow.
Mind if I share this report on my Substack?
Please do. I hope everyone will support this campaign, one way or another.

What an interesting and different take on how the mainstream media has informed us…the Millennial perspective makes some excellent points. However, the descriptions of the generations leaves some lines blurred. My parents lived through the Great Depression and (served) in the Second World War, but they did not have me until they were in their 40s. My cousins were a generation older than me. They trusted the government and espoused a My Country Right or wrong mentality. As part of the anti-war Vietnam generation, I and many of my peers had a lot of mistrust of the government at the time. (1960s) We watched the debacle of The Pentagon Papers and the breaking into the psychiatrist’s office (of Daniel Ellsburg) and the unraveling of the presidency by way of Watergate. Other people my age did not question anything and may be the Boomers Katz refers to in the article. Like Millennials we Boomers are not all the same. I also had children later in life so my children are not the same as younger Millennials. The thing that mystifies me about Boomers is the fact that many of them now blindly trust the mainstream media. Where are all the Boomers from yesterday who were protesting with me in Washington chanting “Hey hey LBJ how many kids did you kill today?” and “One Two Three Four we don’t want your f—-ing war?” Where are all the Boomers who were cheering at Woodstock when groups like Country Joe and the Fish sang anti-war songs? And why are those boomers now so quick to accept censorship? I just don’t get how they have accepted the idea that corporations can be the arbiters of the flow of information. None of that makes sense to me. What happened to those people?
Well, there are all types of millennials. There are free thinkers and there are the ones so indoctrinated by liberal education and peer pressure that I don’t believe we will ever get through to them. It’s not just millennials that this applies to and I believe the mindset in this country has different sides at odds with others on so many issues. This is not good, not that it’s bad to think differently, but we are not capable of pulling different sides together.
Nice article...but I do have to speak up for my generation (X), which gets continually forgotten because we are smaller than the mammoth Boomer and Millennial generations. WE were the first digital generation. WE built the Internet. WE started breaking ground outside the mainstream media. Now that's not to say that all Generation Xers "get it," because many of my old high school peers absolutely do NOT get it. But overall, we're the ones that got the ball rolling.
And while it's nice to hear that this Millennial writer here gets it, I think Millennials plus the Boomers combined are (in general) creating the "big squeeze" for tyranny. On the older side we have seniors who don't want to let go of MSM narratives and want everyone to take the covid vaccines because they are afraid of dying. And the younger side, we have Millennials who grew up on Ritalin and are all-in on Big Pharma, and who are otherwise so focused on woke virtue signaling they'll give their freedom away as long as it's painted in a multi-colored rainbow.
So...call me cynical...but I don't have much hope for Millennials but the generation after them. But cynicism is what my generation is known for anyway. :-)
Thank you Rachel!! As a boomer parent, I agree. My childhood was carefree, barefoot summers listening to an AM radio (FM was not available) at a private swimming pool and drinking a glass bottled Coca-Cola in a restricted “ no bottles beyond this point” area was amazing. Then as a child I saw things shift through music. Who is this kid Buddy Holly. On the RCA stereo system ( that was a piece of elegant furniture in my parents home) we listened to Mitch Miller and Lawrence Welk and sang along ! Then this guy Neil Diamond , Vicente somebody and Bing Crosby and the Rat Pack was introduced. Lots of albums to look at while singing along. May King Cole, Edie, Lawrence, Andy Williams, Burt Bac, and then Neil Young and George Carlin and of course Chich and Chong. Things really changed when the Beatles appeared and then just like that someone broke up the band and John is Band on the Run! Then all of a sudden our black and white TV has Yule Brenner playing Pharo , Heston playing Moses and I thought it was “ OK” to don a “ Archie Bunker for President “ T-shirt just to be rebellious against a family member that strongly disliked “ All in The Family “! Now it’s music and TV. Into the teen years we have a converter box so that we can watch Monty Python after returning from our swimming pool summers and bottled Coca-Cola .Only this time the coke is in pop- top cans. It’s so you can stop sweeping broken glass and avoid going to the ER for stitches I think. We made long chains out of them while watching Wild Kingdom, Walt Disney, Bonanza, High Chaparral and Carol Burnett and eating McDonalds two all beef patties , special sauce, lettuce, cheesy, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun- did I say it correctly? Oh, and for dessert 31 Flavors. Somewhere Woodstock happened, and girls could now wear jeans “ on Friday’s only” to school. Yes, we were coddled by our parents in the 50’s ( thank you mom and dad who are now in heaven with Jesus) but let me be clear, this gramma ( me ) was threatened with arrest and willing to go to jail for refusing to wear a mask at a zoo this past summer of 2021. I can stand and fight like a mother bear for our children and grandchildren and for the Rule of Law, Common Rule and Informed Consent and Nuremberg Code! All that to say that Robert and Jill have sacrificed their comfort to inform us that the freedom of critical thinking
is at great peril and that we must wake up and THINK CRITICALLY! Rachel, how refreshing to hear your perspective. Thank you and God’s blessings upon you sweetheart. <•,}}}><
'Think Critically', indeed. Teach that skill early enough in a child's life, and they will be well prepared for whatever comes down the pike.
