That's what happens when you seek power. Glad you're figuring it out.

Tell me something why do you continue to seek it then?

You know as bad as the boomers were -- I really think Gen X takes the cake on shitty political attitudes. The Kiss generation IMO. Flashy and Hollow. The generation that stands for nothing and basically accomplished nothing.

Gen X is to the Boomers what The Silent Generation is to the Greatest Generation. They are tag-alongs too small an insignificant to form their own generational identity -- so their the "good boys/girls" of the last one.

"We’re seeing this play out in Congress today with Gen X leaders like Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.), Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.) and Ted Cruz (Texas) on the right, and leaders like Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.), Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) and Cory Booker (N.J.) on the left."

What a bunch of shitters. But man they sure good at getting themselves paid. That's one thing Gen. X excels at -- fucking others for money and not feeling bad about it.

My Gen X real estate finance instructor (not a professor) was damn good I have to admit.

Seriously, to hold everyone in Generation X responsible for this guy for a minute,

WTF were you lachkey kids up to when no one was looking? What kind of toad torturing sick crap did you guys do on a regular basis to make it so when you grow up -- you think it's OK to charge 3,000 USD for an epipen?


Pretty good summary of just who Gen X is on a macro level:

https://www.campaignsandelections.co...ver-washington

Meanwhile, if you’re a political consultant looking to take your business to the next level, Gen X is where most of your client growth will be. Here are a few observations about this rising crop of leaders to help you get a grip on their “Just Do It” mindset.

First, polls consistently show that Gen X is split between an older cohort born in the 1960s that is radically conservative and a younger cohort born in the 1970s that is quite progressive, though not as optimistically liberal as Millennials. As both parties search for new leaders, the GOP’s greatest champions are likely to come from the older cohort, while the Democratic Party’s heroes will probably come from the younger cohort.

Second, many Gen Xers adopt a cynically libertarian posture, even if they aren’t ideological libertarians. This generation is filled with “socially liberal, fiscally conservative” types, who take a hands-off approach to most issues. As latchkey kids, many Gen Xers grew up with weak parental supervision, so they are instinctually distrustful of authorities attempting to impose their will from above.

Third, Gen Xers are used to playing by their own rules. These rebels without a cause are the misfits of the generational cycle. Not only can this make them difficult to manage and organize, it also means the number and scope of political and personal scandals could skyrocket in the years ahead as this generation’s leaders come under greater scrutiny. When you take on Gen-X clients, make sure you vet them thoroughly – and make sure you have a good crisis management specialist on speed dial.

I've heard a couple times now nazis being referred to as capitalists. Wtf, "Socialist" is half the meaning of Nazi. Nazi Germany had a socialist command-and-control economy.

Almost bad as the "antifa" so-called-antifascists being, in fact, purely fascist.

Sweden, Norway, Denmark etc..

It's funny that their are all these real countries in plain sight to free market fundamentalists, but they insist that has to be Stalin in Russia or Hitler in Germany in 1940's....

Indoctrination. Your repeating tired old red scare propaganda as the entire country is robbed by free-market fundamentalism. It's a good thing they don't teach that shit to kids anymore.

And BTW: To academics (including historians), Fascism is not Socialism or even Communism. Fascism didn't even change the fundamental economic structure of Germany at the time. Just added some well-fare mostly. It did only in the sense that you needed to be in the Nazi party to do business, and you needed to make sure you were being a good Nazi while doing business.

But the main reason academics think its weird to call him a socialist is because Hitler rounded up all the Marxists and radical socialists and killed them asap. He repeatedly referred to socialism as an enemy to his ideology of Nazism.

What Stalin and Hitler have in common was not really politics but methods. They were both totalitarian meaning they believed in government totally controlling all elements of people's lives. North Korea is a modern example (which is actually communist).

That's what we should call what Trump is trying to pull off:

Military-Industrial Socialism

Everyone gets theirs -- as long as they are working for the military or a related industry (hopefully both). We'll not interfere with the richers in the tech industry or the Aristocratic property owners like Trump. In everyone else gets hoesed. No safety net, no job security, all investments (including retirement) are now garnished to death by Wall ST. -- JOIN THE NAVY!

Unless you want to move out west and get a tech job or grow pot (both at once is pretty lucrative). Anyway I guess that's what reminds me of Hitler in Trump. Not as bad or anything...but similar in style.
