‘OK Boomer’ — Anti-Nationalist and Deliberately Divisive
“OK, boomer!” Try, as an older man, to give wise counsel to a lad in his teens or early twenties, and that’s quite likely to be the dismissive response.
In a way, it’s understandable. Youngsters look at the shocking state of their country, and then at the older generations who let it all happen. From the 1960s onwards, most people lived lives of previously unthinkable levels of ease, luxury and decadence.
While some individuals and communities have had it rough, most of the West has lived life in one giant, self-obsessed, hedonistic party. But it’s their young descendants who now have to pay the bill and suffer the hangover.
The crude ageism which is now rife among Gen Z ‘influencers’ has its origins in this cruel reality, but that doesn’t make it a good thing. In fact, it’s thoroughly pernicious, at three different levels.
First, it’s unnatural. In our natural, tribal state, adolescent males grow up with respect for their elders, and especially for those with proven records as hunters, war-band leaders and judges of disputes.
Ageism is against the tradition which is such an important part of Nationalism and the ancestral religions – paganism and Christianity alike – of our people. This is clear from the Odinists’ Elder Edda as well as the Bible and teachings of the Church Fathers. To have so-called ‘nationalists’ deriding and flouting tradition is a ridiculous deviation, a sort of intellectual heresy.
Second, it is dangerous. While the collective record of Boomers and Millennials is indeed woeful, that doesn’t mean that all older people are selfish morons. Young people – particularly young men – are naturally impetuous and unavoidably inexperienced. There is extensive scientific evidence that their brains do not reach mature adult form until they are about twenty-five. They are ill-suited to negotiate the world without the wisdom of the Tribal Elders.
With the slogans and mentality of the new Age War young men cut themselves off from this natural safety barrier. For all the failings of today’s ‘elders’, there are plenty who have been through all sorts of mills, who have tried to stand against the evils of the times, and have worked and fought for our peoples.
Time and time again in recent years, we have seen justifiably angry young men lurch to wild, extreme and self-destructive ‘solutions’. When counselled by older and wiser men – including me – they have often refused to listen. ‘OK. Boomer’, they’ve sneered, dismissing the advice which would have stopped them going to prison a year or so later. It’s a waste which our people really can’t afford.
Third, it divides our people. Here too, those who indulge in or encourage ageism are in breach of one of the basics of genuine nationalism. Generations of nationalist thinkers and leaders have condemned class war and feminism as deliberate ploys by subversives to divide and weaken us. Age War propaganda is just another example.
The ‘OK Boomer’ poison was popularied by Peter Kuli and Jedwill, who explicitly linked it to rejection of the ‘racism’ of many older people, who he also derides as ‘fascist’. It was pushed on TikTok by Distrokid – founded and owned by Philip Kaplan.
The phrase is now parroted by juveniles obsessed with cartoonish versions of National Socialism, but it is a product of rich kids on the left. Its creators used it alongside cishet (a derogatory term for straight). What on earth do young ‘nationalists’ think they are doing eating fruit from such a poisonous tree? They should be ashamed of themselves and, even if they are not, it’s going to make them very sick in any case.
The great irony is that the idea isn’t even original. ‘OK boomer’, is simply an updating of the 68ers’ insistence that there was something so special about “my generation” that it would be better “to die before I get old”. Bob Dylan and the Beatles were even more explicit in linking this artificially incited and promoted ageism with revolutionary politics. Attacks on the old are really just another form of attack on Western civilisation.
Yes, of course, there are useless and selfish boomers and millennials. But there are also many useless and selfish individuals among Gens X and Z. In every case, the problem is not their age but their brains and hearts, or rather their lack of them. It does, to be fair, cut the other way, when older people write off all the young ones as ‘snowflakes. Some most certainly are, but it’s the other side of the same coin, and it’s a coin which nationalists should refuse to pick up or use.
Here is the Christian Nationalist position: When people are with us, part of our community, there is neither old nor young, neither weak nor strong, but only our brothers and sisters in Christ and in our folk.
