Why are Boomers so unaware of reality? Why is it so insanely difficult for them to see the truth about things like race or the current state of the economy? I often think about this. One major thing that sets us apart from the Boomer generation is that most of us here on Telegram grew up with the internet. If we hadn’t had the internet for most of our lives, maybe we’d be more like the Boomers, just mindlessly absorbing whatever was on the Telmudvision. I’m inclined to think so. Obviously, there are other factors, like our countries just getting rapidly less White and less affordable over the past couple decades, but I think having had an alternative to television and the MSM (via the internet) was a critical factor.

Another reason why I think about this so often is because there are people around here that think we would be better off had we not had the internet. But I beg to differ. I remember what life was like before most people had internet access, back in the 90s. Maybe a few things were better, but people really couldn’t as readily learn about the rest of the world or inform each other in political forums. Most everyone was much less inclined to critically think about or question anything they saw on the TV or read in the news. Back then, official mainstream sources really had the final say for everyone.

Without the internet, I think the majority of the younger generations (Millennials and Zoomers) would be more Boomerish.
