After a recent post about chicken tendies in western schools, I am curious about the social engineering differences in the East. u/crazy_russian
In the west, Baby Boomers were given everything. They were born in a huge burst of prosperity after WW2.
Their parents, the 'Greatest generation' were the worst parents in history and set in motion the complete distruction of society and culture.
Having gone through tough times they decided to spoil their kids and give them everything they never had. The Greatest, although they had to be generally budget conscious when younger, still were able to raise large families on one salary. They had war time homes and vehicles. They had milk delivered to their homes. They had real food, butter, meat, and they cooked. They knew how to repair and fix things and build.
In their later years they, and the boomers, retain the wealth of the nation.
The Boomers had the greatest material wealth in all of history. As adults they were able to afford a house, boat, cottage, trips and family often on one salary.
The Boomers (and Greatest) happily sold out the economy, knowledge and industry of their civilization to foreign interests as long as it gave them a bit more cash. They had no thought nor care for past nor future generations. In the old days, owners of industry felt some kind of attachement / responsibilty to their nation and workers.
As eternal 'Babies' the Boomers never realized that they had to 'parent' their children. The Millenials were possibly the first generation in a prosperous time without parents or elders, who raised themselves. The Millenials often had to be the parents to the Boomers.
Since the Boomers usually only had one or two kids so as not to interfer with their lifestyles, the Millenials didn't have older siblings to learn from.
The lifestyle was more suburban so they rarely saw their extended family. And often the parents kept them at home because it was too dangerous to be with other kids.... But this attitude was on the border of the Zoomers childhood.
The Millennials raised themselves at school, and at home through books (Harry Potter etc), music, videos. At school they had little gambling rings with Pogs and trading circles with stickers.
With the parents off doing their own thing, the Millennials were never taught how to change light bulbs or cook. And without any association with elders, extended family, or lots of siblings/friends, their opportunities for knowledge transfer was small. They have about 5% of the nations wealth.
The Boomers were at least around their parents and either absorbed or were taught the basics. They are the last generation who obtained knowledge transfer.
(The boomers also didn't transfer any knowledge to the small forgotten Gen x, who were given more freedom as the world wasn't as scary at the time. By the end of the Millienial childhood and beginning of Zoomers, isolation was more prominent.)
The Zoomers were raised on technology. The parents generally gave them computers and devices and let them be raised by tech/social media/internet people.
Zoomers are oddly more pragmatic then Millenials in many ways. They grew up in a strange dystopia and their expectations are generally more grounded.... But their priorities are usually more about social issues. They hate Harry Potter's creater as a TERF feminist, because she says men can't be women (they call her transphobic). Rowling has many many serious death threats.
The Millenials have more of an idea of freedom and were the last generation not raised by technology.
Zoomers are in many ways more useless and ignorant then Millenials. Millenials at least had books and real people around. Zoomers were raised in CRT schools by radical leftists and by internet people. This gave them tons of knowledge that other generations didn't have but left them ignorant of history.
Zoomers will probably have some kids if they can afford it and raise them to be socially conscious. They will probably be more involved in their kids lives than Boomers were. The Zoomers are a quieter generation.
Zoomers were also raised on the backdrop of race issues, riots, social disturbances, climate scares, school/public shootings, gender fluidity, diversity, equality issues, promiscuity, sex tape blackmail, child p0rn, drugs/ODs, muslims, and with many race mixed kids around. See the tv show 'Euphoria'.
It is especially a lawless hellhole in England with most Millenial kids having lost their virginity in orgies at age 11/12. Their parents would just have a bunch of kids sleep over and ignore the 'kids being kids' orgies. They would also have intense gangfights. Muslims have generally taken over the streets and dozens of cities have Muslims control white child prostitution rings.
English people don't really have maternal/paternal attachments.
