The Boomer Age is drawing to its close. When one speaks of this group, it tends to mostly focus on white Boomers (not that others are outside the group, but to such a great extent, it really does mean those of mostly European background, if for no other reason than they have been the largest demographic group). When that age does end, we will see an ever dwindling European demographic majority in many Western nations (Canada and the USA are almost certainly the first, soon followed by a variety of European nations). That significant point of majority will be fading, as the numbers precipitously drop until below 50%. The question looming then is, what is next? Will it be the glorious Brave New World of harmonious multiculturalism or an uneasy balkanization that trends ever more to tribalism and violence? Based on existing evidence and studies, I believe that it will be closer to the latter.
A major demographic shift is impacting most Western nations, some more than others. This shift will lead to a far more multicultural/ethnic scenario, with those of European background as the minority within the next few decades. At first blush, many will say this is not a problem, holding out the wonders of civic nationalism and existing relative stability and prosperity with an already highly mixed demographic. The problem here is that this position doesn't really hold water in the long term, as can be demonstrated by existing nations who have not been able to sustain a similar state of peaceful existence and by studies that point in the same direction.

I’ve said that once the Boomers are gone, the general morons remaining will easily give up the 2nd Amendment.
Oh, Captain; my Captain
History repeats itself ......
I’m at the tail end of the boomers in age. I firmly believe that when the boomers pass, it will be a world that lacks freedom. Boomers are to blame. We let our kids be indoctrinated.
In reality, it started with the greatest generation. They were so tired of war, that they tried to raise pacifists, (boomers). Boomers made a mess of their own kids, and the trend continues.
I’ll go further. They’ll forego the Constitution in its entirety!
It's Western exploration, science, and conquest that have revealed the world to itself. Other races feel like subjects of western power long after colonialism, imperialism and slavery have disappeared.
The charge of racism puzzles whites who feel not hostility, but only baffled good will, because they don't grasp what it really means: humiliation.
The white man presents an image of superiority even when he isn't conscious of it. Superiority excites envy. Destroying white civilization is the most inmost desire of the league of designated victims we call 'minorities.'" - Joseph Sobran 1997.
Tribalism will return with a vengence.
I don't see a good future for caucasians as the 21st century progresses through its mid point. I'm not just talking about in the US, but on the entire planet. The Judeo-Christian ethos of right and wrong, moral and immoral will be spun to aid the downfall of the race.
The youngest boomer is 55 years old. We won’t go away for awhile.
Our “insurance policy” against this B.S. remains the 2nd Amendment.
Leftists hate the 400M guns in the hands of individual Americans, because it lets them remain individual Americans.
We see the same future...so I guess that makes us “haters”....(sigh)
The oldest millennial is in his mid 30-s. Time enough to save their retirement, health care and student loans. All have to change dramatically. The only way is to present the with a new contract with millennial America.
The wisdom of an old meme (It used to get passed around in paper form back in the 70’s):
The 8 stages of the worlds great civilizations:

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/108530-a-democracy-cannot-exist-as-a-permanent-form-of-government
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to selfishness;
From selfishness to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.”
When some fool sai tha diversity is our strength nobody asked, WHY?
IT IS NOT.
Oh, well. Fun while it lasted!
I think the bloodshed is much closer than that. A few indictments of the coup plotters and minions is probably enough to begin it...
“When some fool sai tha diversity is our strength nobody asked, WHY?
IT IS NOT.”
I ASKED!!! I asked all the time why this would be a strength, and I was summarily IGNORED!!!
What a farce that statement!!!!
Could only be devised and implemented by socialist/communist types bent on destroying the greatest nation on Earth!!
