Diogenes' Guide to the Generations

Culled from many years of observation....and obviously hang around the wrong people. 

Greatest Generation: People born between 1901 and 1927 who lived through the Great Depression and definitely never made a TikTok of themselves jumping into a kiddie pool full of nachos.

Second-Greatest Generation: “My Generation” by the Who.

Silent Generation: People born between 1928 and 1945 who came of age at the start of the Cold War and are called “silent” because they’re quietly miffed about not being named the Greatest Generation.

Baby Boomers: People who took to the streets to protest the Vietnam War, hosted sit-ins to protest Jim Crow, and hijacked their family’s Facebook feeds last Tuesday to protest the fact that their millennial daughters forbade them from kissing their grandbabies on the mouth during flu season.

Loud Generation: Boomers at Chili’s who have just been told that their coupon for free popcorn shrimp expired seven months ago. And also, it’s for TGI Fridays.

Gen X: The first latchkey kids who were blessed to grow up watching MTV before '16 and Pregnant'.

Generation Twitter: People who refuse to call it X.

Millennials: The last generation to have a childhood partially without the internet and the brutal, merciless killers of the diamond, fabric softener, and paper napkin industries.

Zillennials: People on the cusp of the Millennial and Gen Z generations who have never printed out MapQuest directions to the nearest Blockbuster but also have never used “vibe” as a verb.

Perennials: Boomers who drive south to their Florida condos for the winter and return each spring.

Generation Z: People born between 1997 and 2010 who have never known a childhood without the internet, which they use to spew vitriol against skinny jeans, ankle socks, and anyone who tells them not to eat Tide Pods.

Sandwich Generation: People who struggle to care for both their children and aging parents, especially when they have to travel to Chili’s to de-escalate their parents’ popcorn shrimp situation, then immediately be called to their Gen Alpha kid’s school because they flooded the bathroom trying to make a real-life Skibidi toilet.

“A Hot Dog Is Not a Sandwich” Generation: People who like to get into arguments that don’t actually matter, like whether you should call it X or Twitter.

Zoboomafoomers: Millennials who won’t shut up about how great the TV shows were when they were kids.

Generation Alpha: People born between 2011 and 2024 who have never experienced a world without social media and kiddie-pool-nacho-bath TikToks.

Generation Gamma: Boomers who insist on having a “cool” grandparent name.

Generation Beta: People born in 2025 and beyond, who will most likely cover themselves in Satanic tattoos, wear clothing that’s simultaneously too tight and too baggy, and implant themselves with virtual reality brain chips that will turn them into drooling Cocomelon-worshipping hippie racist snowflakes who are completely antisocial (but somehow are also having too much sex), and will surely drive the world into madness with their degenerate, corrupt ways, as all young people do. Oh, and they’ll make skinny jeans cool again.

Dems and Blob Together

The Dems’ game has been revealed. The revenue stream for their national wrecking operations is suddenly cut off and it’s game-over. Everybody can see how this worked now. You funnel vast amounts of US taxpayer dollars into Non-Governmental Organizations, NGOs, spin off more NGOs below them, and add extra layers of subsidiary NGOs, and all of them pay their staffs of Dem Party foot-soldiers for do-nothing jobs — leaving plenty of time for riots and real-estate investing — a splendid racket that worked for years to support the insane antics of the Woke-Jacobin revolution. (And you paid for it.).

The catch is: an org that gets government money is hardly non-governmental. Wouldn’t you think there’s some law against that? Thus, Exhibit A: in September 2022, Dem luminary John Podesta was put in-charge of a $369-billion fund out of “Joe Biden’s” so-called Inflation Reduction Act, tagged for climate change action. Conceptualize further: that’s three-hundred-seventy-nine-thousand-million dollars (!), a lot of millions, disbursed among tens of thousands of NGOs and their contractors. It boggles the mind that the government could even manage to cream-off such a fortune out our nation’s alleged aggregate productivity.

It was, in reality, money conjured out of thin air: debt. Before long, you are going to find out where it all went, and the picture will not be a pretty one: Into the NGO laundromat and straight out to Democratic Party members’ bank accounts, one of the greatest grifts in our history. Of course, your grandchildren are on the hook for all the debt behind it. Do you think our DC Federal District judges would serve better presiding over these matters than spending years hunting down J-6 “paraders”? - J.H.Kunstler

The Only Thing More Repugnant Than Today's Democrat Party is Their Comrades Who Carry Their Water

Repulsive and Revolting isn't really strong enough words to describe for these people. First, Ricky Maddow not only twists a beautiful moment of DJT honoring the 13-year-old brain cancer survivor, but also uses it to lie to MSNBC viewers about DOGE cuts. 

Rachel Maddow calls President Trump 'digusting' for honoring 13-year-old brain cancer survivor, DJ.

And then the always disgusting feign teenage Nicole Wallace also used the the cancer survivor to work in her unhealthy obsession with all things J6, saying “I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump’s supporters.” Even professional liar Jen Psaki looked uncomfortable.

Even Jen Psaki looks uncomfortable.

But I guess this is not so despicable to people who for a living feed lies to the brainwashed.

No One Likes Us, Everybody Hates Us. I think We'll Go Eat Worms

"The latest survey from Gallup shows that the media hit another all-time low. What is most impressive is that plummeting readers, revenues, and layoffs have done little to convince the mainstream media that the problem is not the public but themselves. The only institution with a lower lower level of public trust is Congress, and that says a lot. It is like beating Ebola as the preferred communicable disease.Some 69 percent of Americans now say that they have no or little trust in the media. Only 31 percent say that they have a great deal or fair amount of trust. The trending line looks like the sales of buggy whips after the introduction of the Model T Ford. Gallop put it into sharp terms: 

"About two-thirds of Americans in the 1970s trusted the "mass media -- such as newspapers, TV and radio" either 'a great deal' or 'a fair amount' to "[report] the news fully, accurately and fairly.' By the next measurement in 1997, confidence had fallen to 53%, and it has gradually trended downward since 2003. Americans are now divided into rough thirds, with 31% trusting the media a great deal or a fair amount, 33% saying they do 'not [trust it] very much," and 36%, up from 6% in 1972, saying they have no trust at all in it." - Jonathan Turley
