To be perfectly honest, I expected the balkanization of America to be in a rebuilding phase at this point in my life. I fully anticipated to raise my kids in the aftermath of the Global American Empire (GAE). So, seeing America make it this far is somewhat of a surprise to me and I began to wonder why a few years ago. It is something that I have pondered on and off for several years. While I think widespread systemic failures have accelerated in the last decade, I’m starting to doubt that full collapse will occur in my lifetime. As a Gen Xer, I believe my age group is one of the major reasons this decaying country is still holding together (with duct tape and bailing wire).
The other day, it was time to buy a new microwave, our old one started shooting sparks. This is a pretty mundane task with no major effort, but we bought a newer and larger microwave than our old one. When we got home, I set up the new one; as I was, I began looking over the broken microwave’s interior glass plate, which was smaller than the new one. I was trying to figure out a use for the old plate. I thought I could use it as a serving dish or another cake plate. It is still perfectly good, and I shouldn’t be wasteful and just throw it away.
That is when it dawned on me – Gen X was brought up mostly on our own wits or by our grandparents. I was looked after by my grandparents quite often; these are the people that grew up during the Great Depression and nothing went to waste. My grandfather still wrapped presents in the Sunday comics (a double treat really, because you could read the comics while you dreamed of what might be in it). My other grandfather used to buy one Hershey bar per week, and he would snap off a row and put the rest back until the next day. My grandmother sewed everything and cooked everything, and nothing went to waste. There were gardens, pickling, and preserving of foods. These are just a few of the memories that I have with them. My father and my uncle were always dragging something into the garage that was revamped and retooled to make run again. For us, these things became brand new with just a little bit of elbow grease.
So, it is no wonder that Gen X would keep applying another layer of duct tape and telling everyone it will be okay, we can still fix this. It is what we were taught to do, the problem is why does it need to be fixed and when did it really become something that needed to be kept together? Some of this article was drafted prior to the FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, and the Boomer conservative frenzy that happened after that event helped me see more of the truth. Boomers were the first heavily indoctrinated generation. Their parents were the saviors of the Western world. They defeated the great European evil, or so they were told. I believe the Greatest Generation was genuinely convinced they were fighting immoral authoritarianism; little did they know that they were sowing the seeds for the dystopian society we have today. However, that is a completely different discussion altogether.
Boomers inherited greatness and were told that America was their country, and they had to save the world from the wicked Russians. They were educated to be ready and to fight communism in other lands because a direct attack on Russia (the Soviet Union) would end in mutually assured destruction. The U.S. military would, ostensibly, fail in Korea and spectacularly fail in Vietnam, these strategic American defeats have continued to our present time. So, the approved narrative has fallen back to World War 2, as the great galvanizing force. The multitude of military failures has led many of us to search out the truth as to why we were fighting in all these countries. The truth is out there, and we do not (nor historically) have a justifiable reason for our endless meddling and wars abroad. Which, of course, has led to more and more distrust in the current regime.
Between the Gen Xers holding it together (as it were) and Boomer conservatives with their inherited title of saviors of the planet, the sinking of the USS Heritage America has been slower than expected. More of Generation X is letting go, and the new generations are already seeing the lifeboats hit the water.
It is time to recognize that the United States is a dying nation. Let it balkanize and the chips fall where they may. Of course, I look forward to a Free Dixie, but it is also time for other segments of the Empire to sink or swim. When Gen X is gone, the last large segment of Heritage America will be gone with it. Secession is the only way to save our future.
Teach a man to fight, he can win a battle.
Teach a man to write, he can win a nation.
The dumbed down boiling frogs too busy etching out a living and caring what grown men in stupid uniforms are doing with a ball 1000 miles away will go down with NWO hijacked ship … unless the 2 to 3 % massage Dixie 2.0 into existence.
Enough white “had it upto here’s” will jump on board. They’re waiting for
1. The conversation to become common table talk
2. A 2nd or 3rd draft of a damn near perfect plan
I’m an early millennial. Even I was raised on the patriotism spirit and fighting to save the country—The idea of holding it all together. Most other similar-ages share similar views. I don’t see the same occurring in late millennials or Gen Z. Very few of them, left or right, seem to really care about the situation. This is good, but it also provides the potential problem that even late-stage millennials may fall for the “repair and hold” posture that the author mentions is happening/happened to Gen X, which delayed the fall. Which means our current condition could actually sustain until the millennials get too old to hold, which is a terrifying thought. That’s at least another 40 years.
I hope that is not accurate. I don’t want to put my kids through that, rather it be in my own lifetime. But we have to consider the worst-case scenario.
Good Article Mr. Aldrich.
I hear from time to time how Trump exposed the deep state.
I think it was the alt/dissident right who exposed these bad actors. The powers were losing their boomer base to old age and the internet and subsequently were losing their patriotic narratives.
Beware if President Warp speed gets put back into power to usher in at warp speed the digital financial Hell scape!
The German backed French govt. took over Frances possessions during WW2 and after Germany’s Ruthless defeat a power vacuum was formed and the Vietnamese people wanted independence, self determination. The Rice Farmers of Vietnam became the Viet Minh who eventually became groomed by the Communist and turned into the Vietcong, (exactly what happened to Spanish labor before the “Spanish” civil war) The democratically elected Catholic president of Vietnam, Diem, was assassinated 3 weeks before Kennedy was for not escalating the Vietnam war that the globalist wanted. I Gleaned that information from an Englishman who wrote “the tunnels of Cu chi” Tom Mangold.
It relates how the Brave US soldiers, who were known as the tunnel rats, went into those tunnels and fought the Vietcong. The clay like soil of Vietnam made it easy to dig underground dwellings, 250 miles of them connected, a great read to learn how an Agrarian underdog fought back and improvised against modern power.
God is our greatest strength, I am in prayerful meditation for the most part all of the time.
A prayer to the Lord is this, a future taste of future bliss.
God Bless and Strengthen all of you.
That’s interesting. I said, for a long time and up until a few short years ago, that the U.S. would eventually break up into several parts, but likely not in my lifetime. My older group of kids can corroborate that I have told them all a hundred times or more that they and their children would unfortunately have to fight a civil war without me. I don’t know what the “inflection point” was that really reversed my thinking on this (has to have been a combination of things, but Charlottesville is certainly a big one), but I now fully expect to stand side-by-side with my sons in the upcoming civil war.
One thing that no one seems to want to discuss in a balkanization scenario is … how are we going to, peacefully and equitably, divide the U.S. military hardware and installations? I assert that it is impracticable; I mean, you’re not going to get five generals, say, to sit down at a bagaining table and agree to a fair and equitable distribution of these hardwares to the various “nations.” Ain’t ever going to happen (hell, they’d probably kill each other in the negotiations), and that is why I believe – I in fact *know* – civil war is inevitable when the U.S. breaks up. And likely very soon afterward. A lot of people are going to get a LOT more than they bargained for when the U.S. breaks up, but as my kids will also attest to my having said a thousand times, “the quicker it gets underway, the quicker it will be gotten over with and we can start rebuilding.”
Good article.
Imagine Henry Ford “envisioning” a car. But … then … overwhelmed with the details involved, just gives up.
Steps and phases Sir Morris. Steps and phases. Obviously it would be put to a VOTE. But that’s a phase or 2 away. First is getting the conversation going in every white home in America …
The “generals,” would shut up and like it if the masses were jumping up and down “demanding” restructuring. Also, we in the south would want to build NEW military equipment in our NEW factories which would also create NEW jobs! Of course we’d also have “pre positioned” the juicy stuff prior to restructuring.
After grits of course …
Josey:
Imagine if you will – if you can – the Federalist writers (Hamilton, Madison, Jay) arguing for ratification of the U.S. Constitution using examples of successful English hat manufacturers, or successful English shippers et al, instead of comparing apples with apples, and oranges with oranges. Can you imagine what utter fools and dimwits they would have made of themselves in so doing, to say nothing of what fools and dimwits they would be made out to be (and rightfully so) in the history books? What I’m getting about is that Henry Ford’s vision to mass produce the Model T, is not on the same level, nor in the same category, as building and sustaining a nation. These two are not even in the same ballpark, Josey.
Besides all of that, no one (and certainly not I) is “giving up” on the project. All’s I’m saying (to the fire breathing hotheads, including you) is, ‘listen, y’all, there is more to this than you have heretofore considered well and fully; best take a step back and put more thought to it.’ One reason we lost the “civil war” of 1861-65 was because the hotheads forced the issue before we were in a position of strength to defend ourselves. And, yes, militarily – a nation without a strong military is doomed from the gitgo.
Certain principles lend themselves to parables. Examples of other things involving the same or similar principles are used to illustrate points to … well … the less perceptive. Even Jesus used parable on a regular basis. I suppose if you were there you’ld have corrected Him!?
I do declare sir.
Amen.Look forward to seeing this Jew-run beast die.May Christ protect all of us.I have this feeling that the good are gone and never coming back.I know the Bible tells us to never give up hope(and I won’t)but to me the people are just so different.They are fully products of Jew TV/media etc and to a large degree cannot help what they are.But also I was exposed to the same Jewish Satanic mind destruction yet managed to reach out anywhere I could to find the precious past of our White people.So really one could agree that God finds a way to reach each and every one of us but many just don’t care and will not listen to His call.I particularly loved the part about your granddaddy and the Hershey bar,that to me is my people all the way.God bless you and your dear granddaddy.Christ is Lord.
I’m a Gen-Xer who raised by parents who had been born in 1930, and grew up in the depression, and in WWII. Most of the kids in my school and neighbourhood had parents who were teenagers in the late 60’s. They always thought that my mom was my grandmother. A lot of the older kids had parents who had been born in 1940, or generally before the baby boomers.
Most of my elementary school teachers had started their careers in 45′-48.’ They began to retire by the 80’s. They taught us the ways of the the Old South and Texas.
I grew up in North Texas, where Leftists were distant strangers in the papers and on TV, and who were objects of scorn and ridicule and scorn by the adults, including my teachers. My parents taught me not to waste anything, especially money. They grew up farming. If they needed anything, they bought the materials and made it. If it broke or tore, they fixed it, or sewed it back together. My mom patched the knees on my breeches, and sewed buttons on my shirts, and patched holes in my socks and T-shirts. Nothing was thrown away until it was no longer serviceable. Or didn’t fit anymore.
