(0446) Morning all … seems bleah out there, as the sun attempts to stir.

The raising of Millennials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha

Really difficult editing decision this morning, at 04:20 a.m. … two leading posts, one to go up at Orphans, one at Unherdables. As I wrote at Orphans:

“One is about slavery, quoting Unherdable commenters not all that well known at Orphans … the other about a London girl’s lament … the theme is a known-known but her Gen Z post might not sit well with older and/or libertarian readers … plus the Unherdable churchgoing and cultural Christians can easily come in firing, saying there you are, you see … poor upbringing, abandoning the underpinning faith … reap the bitter harvest.”

Here goes:

The major plus for us in this quote on X below is that it’s pure Brit Gen Zee and that’s still a rarity, esp. when she’s of that type of schooling … very southern, upper middle Brexity, not unlike the Grant sisters … a newer phenomenon on X, one of our granddaughters you might say … but but but …

… oh dear, some of what she openly writes is worrying to grandfather types like us older males:

So, while we might look at her and think … yeah, protect girls, teach your children well, all the other noble thoughts flooding in … what’s Charlie’s prime concern? Being unable to go out in town at night and get drunk and dissolute, maybe laid … really great summum bonum for her and her generation.

Some of you might recall Pulp in 1995 and Common People … and the lines:

“I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
Wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people like you.”

Well, what else could I do?
I said, “I’ll… I’ll see what I can do.”

And then dance, and drink, and screw
Because there’s nothing else to do.

Come in please, “Christians”, even “cultural Christians” … what a sad commentary on the THOT culture … nothing noble, nothing worth defending, nothing worth fighting for anymore, no elegance, no virtue. No fathers in families … you know the whole package.
