Vulture culture - don't be offended; I've had my scores as well.

Next, you will be attacking fuzzy Elvis portraits and big eyed kids.

I want a Velvet Elvis with the morose face on the cusp of tears. That would encapsulate my thoughts as far as where this once great country us heading.

Don't confuse me - I buy to preserve, not flip so that vigin wood and skilled craftsman finish can be stripped and slopped with shabby chic cheap paint.

I'm just chuff I thought I was Indiana Jones saving history and sentimental items by the dozens of 50lb boxes carefully packaged to minimize chips and fractures. Preserving the history of items so old they were used in New Amsterdam, imported straight by the VOC from 17th Century Leiden.

In reality, they came from the Lincoln's Day sale at Woolworth's, were manufactured in Milwaukee in 1952, and I was hauling around boxes and boxes of Truman-Eisenhower era department store China across country and up and down stairs several times.

The type of stuff that takes up aisle after aisle in any Florida Thrift Store and sells for $2. $1 if it has the green sticker on Tuesdays.

Nice bone China - that's how I pacify the wife. she has the China she dreamed about. There's nothing better than confronting your wife with her dream purchase. "OK, now let's get rid of the rest of the shit." That is our deal - you get better shit, get rid of the worse shit. Even after "the change," they still can't help it and think about "the grandchildren."

Admittedly, given the woke book burning, she wants to hold on to a lot of old-school children's books, so I respect her for that and humor her in other things. This is also why I collect books and movies that were pre woke so that they are available to my family.

We are cursed in that as what the boomers derisively called Gen-X, all children of our generation will be perpetually enthralled to the Gen Y, or "millennials" as the boomers like to designate their crotch fruit.

There will be a continual resentment between the generations. This is black pill, but the boomers and their crotch fruit were the biggest proponents of the clot shot, so the sterility it caused is confined to them. My son is a pureblood, and he takes the cocktail necessary to protect his body from being vulnerable to spike protein shedding.

It is in this way, that the progeny of our generation can defeat the fucked-up boomer world view, and outbreed the damaged ovaries and sperm of the clot shot damaged last vestiges of a generation that largely succeeded in destroying this country.

My beef with some Millennials is they JUST got off the batshit Woke crazy train they were on until their 30s.

But are still slinging the blame at everybody but themselves despite voting for Obama twice and pushing all the Woke stuff until the last couple of years.

Whereas most of us are finally getting something like the government we wanted after decades of trying to actually get what we voted for.

I agreed and also have to disagree on this. What were the flipping choices in 2008 and 2012? McCain and Romney? Both of those guys would have taken the war machine to level 10. I couldn't vote for McCain with Palin as VP. Women don't belong in governmental executive branch power. Imagine a dead McCain and Sarah Palin is running the country. So I did vote Obama that cycle. Not that it matters in IL.

Until Trump came along the Republican party has been dead regardless of the Bush presidencies. Trump really isn't a Republican anyway. Regardless of bankruptcies he does know economics as failure teaches you lessons. He wants no war but will use the military strategically. He's going back to policies that I think most of us grew up with. I was in high school and Clinton had some help with tech booming, but his presidency seemed fine outside of his personal flaws/issues.

I'm saying this as an older millennial. I was never woke. Hell I created my account here in 2012 and lurked for a good 3-4 years prior. Talking and debating about housing and joking around is not remotely woke.

I remember in college the Political Science offices were next to the LGBTQ offices. Rainbows and all that shit in 2002. I'm like WTF is this shit. Literally like why is this here and what's the purpose? I'm a man and I fuck women. No interest in the turd tunnel of another man. Had to walk by the place 3 times a week for a class and legit wanted to puke.

All my close buddies are millennials. None of them are woke. One is gay, but you wouldn't know as he doesn't push it and still hits the ladies from time to time. What I've noticed is that millennial men are non-committal with females. We don't trust them. I think women defined the millennial generation and not in a good way. Only 2 of my 10 core buddies that are millennials are married.

Ultimately I think it's women that are just not as attractive as they used to be. Fatter. Less intelligent yet think they're Einstein. Millennials guys are like fuck this shit. Bang and run.
