"Zoomers are the first cohort to be fully immersed in the reality of generational downward mobility. While millenials will also earn less than their parents, they were formed under the expectations of America ascending to a kind of Post-History stasis where at worst their status and wealth was permanently locked in.
Zoomers have none of these illusions and rightfully reject the obsolete and facile narratives they’re expected to swallow and obey to make sense of their lives and ambitions. Those are dead narratives. They do not reflect reality at all. They do not reflect the deranged cultural and political circumstances they’re expected to navigate from a position of negative expected value for pretty much any career path outside of genius tech outlier.
Scolding them is a stupid and pointless exercise that will only drive them further into despair and resentment.
Yes. Don’t be resentful. Don’t give in to despair. Be resourceful and lay a claim on your own life. But it’s also going to require offering Zoomers much better and updated narratives and opportunities for how to accrue status and wealth and the basic conditions for living a dignified life for the average guy who is not an outlier tech genius.
There are short, medium, and long term fixes for this. Some straightforwardly political. Some more complex cultural questions. But the implicit promise of boomer America, even Gen X America, is no longer viable, and that broken promise has absolutely nothing to do with Zoomers themselves."

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 The problems with an air campaign against Iran
This excellent graphic allows us to understand better the issues facing any attempt to strike Iran. Now that we have some sense of the power of the potential force deployed we can highlight a few important points.
600 Tomahawk missiles may sound like a lot but we need some comparisons. In 2025 alone Russia launched 1900-2000 missiles into Ukraine.
But given the patchy air defence in Ukraine we should also count drones. Including strike drones, Russia launched around 34000 strikes on Ukraine.
Needless to say, Ukraine remains intact. The strikes have taken their toll but the country is intact. 600 Tomahawks represent less than 2% of this strike capability.
But Tomahawks are a rare commodity. If the US fired all 600 this would be 10-15% of their total inventory - not total inventory on their ships, the total inventory in existence!
We could add in the aircraft capacities but this is controversial. Risking these aircraft ...
I FEEL CERTAIN THIS IS ALL CORRECT - AND REAL AMERICANS NEED TO KNOW IT!!!
Why are they here? (- from Tricia Jay on fb; 'copied and pasted')
Muslim immigration to the West is not just about war.
It’s not just about “seeking a better life.”
And it’s definitely not some spontaneous act of cultural blending.
It’s Hijrah. And it’s commanded.
Hijrah is not just a word for “migration.”
In Islam, it is a religious obligation to migrate to non-Muslim lands with the purpose of spreading Islam and establishing it as the dominant system.
This idea goes straight back to Muhammad himself, who fled Mecca to Medina in 622 AD, not to escape war, but to strategically build power.
That migration, known as the original Hijrah, marks the official beginning of the Islamic calendar, that’s how central and celebrated it is in Islam.
From that moment on, Hijrah became a model for Islamic conquest:
•Move into non-Muslim lands
•Form insular Muslim communities
•Build mosques and religious ...
Harriet Harman was a Labour MP for decades.
She is now a Lord.
From 1978 to 1982 Harman was legal officer at the National Council for Civil Liberties, which was the predecessor to campaign group Liberty.
The Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) - a group that promoted adults raping children - was granted affiliate status with the National Council for Civil Liberties in 1975.
She had no issues with it from a legal perspective.
This is the British Establishment.
