Tell you what...I thought Millennials were just the most (synonym for cat - Y)+ified bunch of people that the world had ever known. Since this last
election though, it seems like they have some competition in the later Baby Boomers up to those born on the cusp of the transition into the greatest
generation the world has ever known (you know who we are...I mean, the world looks up at us so darn much it needs a neck brace!). These people, who
are currently at an age that they fill the majority of higher level political and executive level business positions, grew up in the shadow of the big
scary USSR and the totally imagined inevitable doomsday event that the Cold War was supposed to be culminating to but that never came. Going thru
childhood & adolescence seeing superhero dad & able-to-fix-anything mom terrified by this real life big bad wolf. Years later while establishing
independence they remain followed by the invisible lurker in the bedroom at night in the form of entertainment culture and technologies of the day
through a string of secret agent titles where the protagonist is a licensed-to-kill hopelessly patriotic American who is all alone up against an
invincible criminal mastermind from some fictional communist nation suffixed by, "-istan," or, "-ovia," or, "-onia," or, "-eria," or, "-akia," a major
plotline in books and more often in movies and television where we found this force opposing 99, Maxwell Smart, James Bond (well, UK), Ethan Hunt...
Musicians were loudly opposed to things and ideas that came from Moscow, our government and economy was always personified/portrayed as the good guy
and free man and theirs as evil incarnate, a way of quickly identifying bad guys in all forms of media was simply giving a character a slavic accent
or even more often by showing him do nothing more than referring to a partner or colleague as, "comrade." Drills for atomic attacks during the daytime
and at home were conducted where you practiced covering your eyes and exposed skin and curling up into a ball should you see the flash that comes
seconds before an atomic blast, fireball, and shockwave or at the sound of sirens you timed yourself getting into your family's bomb shelter or the
closest community provided "shelter." And lastly, just as the word that means, "a bundle of sticks," is thee most insulting thing you can call a
macho, tough guy who is ridiculously oversensitive about his being portrayed as weak or as anything but masculine, just as calling a hardcore
feminist, "toots," or, "baby," or a boss approaching his female employee and smacking her butt nice and hard while complimenting her shapely figure
and breasts which he confers on her as her reward for some recent professional accomplirecent is to certain types of people just about as offensive as
it can possibly get, these scenarios I describe here pale in comparison to just how insulting it was mageneratoon to this generation to be discovered
to be a Russian sympathizers or a supporter of communism while, "communist," was the most controversial thing you could be labeled. This all
accompanied the most psychotic and paranoid witch hunt since...well, since the witch hunts and the system which saw promoting citizens monitoring
their neighbors closely and government purging of any sympathy for Russia would become known by a term that, no millennials, has nothing to do with a
slightly familiar to your generation blonde supermodel matchmaker (millennials are all like, what's, "Singled Out!?" lol) or her comedian cousin who
was a household name more recently but instead came from the surname of a man with an unclear reputation and who was possibly quite a monster... whom
your generation should know better than anyone you have ever learned about as he is the perfect example of just how it can go when you get too quick
to point fingers and condemn this or that like your generation is policing everything people say and write and its terrifying to our generations that
it is a criminal offense in several western "free" nations now to SAY certain things that are "mean." (Sidenote it shouldn't matter if the klan itself
wants to have a Colored People Haters parade through your town, Neonazis want to perform the salute of the Roman Empire and Third Rich, someone wants
to say gay and lesbian people are less than human, or even that people with any disability or genetic disorder- the blind, deaf, those with Down's
Syndrome, MS, autism, etc. should be sterilized, interred, or hell even euthanized. What you Millennials don't understand as obvious as it should be
is that the generations before you saw intolerance too. And you aren't the first people to witness racism. And there have been others who beat you at
saying that women are equal or that insulting people for having brown skin is not nice. Your social media abuse, your lack of socialization, your
mistaking your opinions and feelings as important in the grand scheme of things, the Facebook/Twitter originating narcissistic tendencies to see how
you feel about every lititle thing as A. Revolutionary B. Righteous C. Pioneering D. Exemplary are reasons that all work together explaining why you
don't accept that we and those before us even went through the exact same things and we are absolutely sure 100% that it is so, SO much better a world
to live in if you let people say anything they want, yes even things as ugly hateful and ridiculous as the aforementioned examples I gave when the
alternative is picking and choosing what is and is not ok for other human beings to say with their own mouths and instead of learning to stand up for
yourself and affirm your worth as a person building confidence, giving the government and law enforcement the responsibility and incomprehensible
power of making sure, on penalty of criminal punishment, that you go through life and never have to run into anyone who says anything negative about
you. It creates such an artificial and fake life and my God when the concept of confidence does not even exist since there is no self esteem, no race,
no gender, no more attractive between morbid obesity and hourglass figure or defined strong muscles...it would be like that recent movie I never saw
but where people don't have feelings except a few whom the government executes so when they find out they feel, they try to hide it...The
Insubordinates or....ugh...The Divergents, right? Real life where EVERYONE has feelings but everyone understands they had better not ever mention
their feelings, opinions, or awareness that these things exist at all. And my God young people, how can you ignore a message that was the basis of
entire compositions and films from 1984 to Brave New World to Planet of the Apes to Soylent Green to Molieres satirical theater to Euripides and
Revelations...even the Book of Enoch which is the oldest one I can thank of that even starts out with Enoch excusing himself to the readers of ancient
times saying this is a book whose message is meant for a "remote genernation" for off in the distant future (and with Jesus quoting Enoch more than
all other books of the Torah combined, a vote of confidence from the highest source possible works for me). Back on topic tho, the three children of a
couple whose names I can't recall fight to this day to clear their parents names after McCarthyism took their parents in a different but related
scenario people should know (shame on me). (Continued below..)
