   1999 was a good year you can tell by all the “woe is me” stable office job movies that released during that time

     @mrsaturday @cell 1999 was peak "end of history" for many people, and if you think about it it's embedded in The Matrix itself. The movie chose 1999 for inside the Matrix because it was as good as it got for human civilization before intelligent robots were introduced, which was obviously a bias of the writers at the time.

     @mrsaturday @sun @cell Also the worst parts of modern corporate culture were really starting to coalesce at the time.

     @sun @cell I think an element of it was Gen X was finding themselves having to put down their rebellious side or keep it at home while they traded the life they wanted for a tie and cube and a droll but stable life. Later times never really had that same promise of stability.

     @WTFPurpleAlpaca @cell @mrsaturday gen-x was constantly told that downturns in everything were temporary and to weather it and things would get better. At the same time boomers never gracefully aged out of political and industry positions to make way for gen-X. In my opinion the "sin" of gen-X was being complacent.

     @mrsaturday @cell @sun Sounds like the problem was Gen-X was pozzed into faux rebellion that was never going to result in satisfaction.
     
     Sounds familiar.
     
     People who are raised right value stability and modest prosperity, and yet here was kiked Gen-X seething over it. And people say Millennials and Zoomers are mad at it for entitlement not cashing irl as if they were the first generations to experience that. I suppose one crucial difference is Gen-X didn't have one big faux cause the Jew pushed them into. Live Aid never carried the same oomph that prior and later popular causes did. Except maybe the generalized eroding of the family unit and household. Even Boomers as a generation hadn't been so atomized in that regard (that would come for them later with divorces in their 50s, and the general disgust and withdrawal of their children).
     
     Kikes subvert society, drum up and sow discord and misery so even if your society has it good, nobody can seemingly just enjoy it. Then again that'll be about the time the open plan cubicle meaningless office work phenomenon really began to take hold, coupled with the inhuman judeo-corporate drive for squeezing humanity out of everything.
     At least a prison work gang breaking rocks were getting exercise out of it.
     
     It always perplexed me as a kid, seeing all these supposedly poor people from the past, in image and text and speech seemingly in far higher spirits than Gen-X ever seemed to be at the sheer material height of Western civilization.
     
     I suppose any delusion that materialism was a valid replacement for any other human pursuit was cured for me in those moments.
     
     Boomers were also raised by Jewish media to rebel, although they seemed to get over it quickly enough when the time came to indulge their material greed and profit off of a fake judaized post-war economy. Coasting spiritually perhaps on what their parents and grand-parents left them. One generation. ONE managed to stand the death of everything but worshipping the Jew's unpegged dollar. After that we've been slugging by on fumes and coasting towards an inevitable conclusion.

     @sun @WTFPurpleAlpaca @cell The fact that it took covid to get boomers to make way for Gen X, just in time for them to start approaching retirement age is really telling.

     @sun @WTFPurpleAlpaca @cell Honestly, I think the heart of the problem lies in the Americanism where your line of work is "what you do." You're a father, hobbyist, influential member of the community second, but your profession is key. Retirement doesn't become a matter of getting to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor and further prioritize the parts of your life work distracted you from, but a loss of identity.
