Grandma's Revolution: The Boomers' Anti-Globalist Movement

The alternative community, (aka: The Freedom Movement) are grandmas and grandpas.

There I said it.

Why is nobody else saying it?

The alternative community may very well be the only social movement in history that is led, organized and attended mostly by old people. Sorry, I know you don’t feel old, and nobody likes to be called old, but that’s what it looks like to me (also an old guy).

For some context, take a look at the relative age of other social movements of the past, which include Occupy Wall Street, BLM, Hong Kong protests, Vietnam war protests, Pro-Palestine protests, LGBTQ, environmental protests, labour union protests and pro-life protests.

And this, by no means, is a modern development.

The famous suffragette, Susan B. Anthony, although often depicted in her old age, began her activism at age 17, speaking out against slavery and fighting for women’s right to vote. Similarly, associates of Susan B. Anthony, such as Elizabeth Cady, Lucy Stone and Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, were in their 20’s and 30’s when they began their career as social activists.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a young man of 26, when he launched his activist career, with the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955. He was just married with his first child.

Rosa Parks, who is often known as the “mother of the civil rights movement” because of her role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, was just 42, on that fateful day when she refused to give up her seat to a white man on the bus.

Martin Luther nailed his famous 95 Theses on the door of the Wittenberg Church, when he was 34. The so-called Protestant reformation, began when six members of the nobility protested the banning of Martin Luther and his teachings from the Church. Martin Luther and the Protestants literally invented the term protester.

Fast forward to 2021, and let’s compare the relative ages of the organizers of the Canadian Truckers’ Protest, that camped out on the steps of the Parliament buildings in Ottawa for three weeks.

THE DISINFORMATION DOZEN

Dubbed by the mainstream media, The Disinformation Dozen—these influencers who opposed vaccines were responsible for two-thirds of anti-vaccine content online, according to a report by The Center for Countering Digital Hate, published in March of 2021.

Robert F. Kennedy, author of The Real Anthony Fauci, age 71
Joseph Mercola, age 70 donated $2.9 million to the anti-vaccine movement
Ty and Charlene Bollinger, who are both age 57
Sherri Tenpenny, age 65
Rizza Islam, one of the youngest members is 35
Rashid Buttar, died at age 57 in 2023, claimed that he was poisoned
Erin Elizabeth, the partner of Joseph Mercola, Health Nut News, age 50
Sayer Ji, founder of alternative medicine portal GreenMedInfo, age 52

Some other well known members of the alternative community:

George Galloway, age 70

WHERE’S THE YOUTH?

Part of this youth deficit is due to the age gap between liberals and conservatives. According to PEW research in the USA:

The Democratic Party holds a substantial edge among younger voters, while the Republican Party has the advantage among the oldest groups.

• About two-thirds of voters ages 18 to 24 (66%) associate with the Democratic Party, compared with 34% who align with the GOP.

• There is a similarly large gap in the partisan affiliation of voters ages 25 to 29 (64% are Democrats or lean that way vs. 32% for Republicans).

• Voters in their 30s also tilt Democratic, though to a lesser extent: 55% are Democrats or Democratic leaners, 42% are Republicans or Republican leaners.

Conservatives have dominated the alternative community in the last few years of COVID madness. The right-wing are historically more reactionary than the left, and are often opposed to any perceived change in the political, cultural or social climate. Conservatives tend to be more nationalistic, and view the totalitarian globalism as an existential threat to national sovereignty.

The massive global propaganda campaign against those opposed to vaccines was targeted at “far-right” “extremists” and “conspiracy theorists.” Government-funded groups like AntiHate.ca are exclusively devoted to the narrative that the alternative community are violent extremists and a threat to democracy. AntiHate works closely with Antifa cells who are a left-wing ad hoc anarchist youth movement.

DIVERSITY EXPLOSION

The driving force behind this age division is a diversity explosion, that will soon detonate in the United States, due to the impact of increased immigration.

Again, referring to the Pew Research group:

If demography is destiny, the United States—much more than its peers—is on the cusp of great change. That change is due to a deep cultural generation gap at play, which will alter all aspects of American society within the coming decade.

Driving this generational gap is a “diversity explosion” in the United States, which began in 2011 when, for the first time in the history of the country, more minority babies than white babies were born in a year. Soon, most children in the U.S. will be racial minorities: Hispanics, blacks, Asians, and other nonwhite races. And, in about three decades, whites will constitute a minority of all Americans. This milestone signals the beginning of a transformation from the mostly white baby-boom culture that dominated the nation during the last half of the 20th century to the more globalized, multiracial country that the United States is becoming.

As the younger, more diverse part of the population reaches adulthood, clear gaps will develop between its economic interests and politics and those of the whiter, older generations. This divide will result in contests over local expenditures—for example, over whether to spend money on schools or senior health facilities—and those contests may evolve into culture clashes. Yet if demography is truly destiny, America's workforce, politics, and place on the world stage will soon be changed forever.

This much-celebrated generation [Boomers] came to embody the image of middle America during the second half of the last century. Conceived during the prosperous post−World War II period, they brought a rebellious, progressive sensibility to the country in the 1960s, 1970s, and beyond. With the help of the programs of the Great Society, they became the most well-schooled generation to date and the epitome of America’s largely white, suburban middle class, with which most of today’s adults now identify.

There are several cultural, ideological, social and economic factors at play here:

• The post WW2 Boomer generation was affluent and educated

• The Boomers were in the midst of the Cold War, a clash between capitalism and communism

• They grew up in the ideals of the hippies in the 1960’s with music, peace, love, civil rights and the anti-war protest

• The West was at its political and economic zenith

TODAY’S YOUTH FACING ECONOMIC ANXIETY

Today’s youth are growing up in a drastically different economic climate. Most of them are keenly aware they will never own a home. Young people are growing up with serious economic insecurity, due to the rising cost of living and declining employment prospects in the West.

They are also facing serious dread about climate change, drilled into their heads through relentless media propaganda. Almost two-thirds of a survey of about 10,000 16-25 year-olds in 10 countries were “very or extremely worried about climate change” in a study published in The Lancet, while 84% were at least moderately worried.

According to the Deloitte 2024 Millennial and Gen Z Survey, a third of those surveyed fear that the current economic climate will make it harder to ask for more flexibility at work to improve their work-life balance, and 15% think it will become impossible.

Additionally, the fear of unemployment and underemployment is prevalent among young people, with nearly half of youth globally being unemployed or underemployed. This fear is exacerbated by the lack of economic opportunities, which has led to a rise in the number of young people who are “neither in employment, education, or training” (NEET). The situation has worsened since the global financial crisis of 2008, with the number of NEETs rising by 1.4% to 11.8%.

CULTURAL SHIFT

The majority of children in the U.S. will soon be racial minorities: Hispanics, blacks, Asians, and other nonwhite races. Caucasians will constitute a minority of all Americans. This is also true of Canada and Europe. Between 2001 and 2021, the racialized population in Canada increased by 130%, from 3.85 million to 8.87 million people, while the white population grew by only 1%.

In many European cities, 30-40% of children have an immigrant background, and in some areas, this figure is as high as 60-70%.

This is the beginning of a transformation from the mostly white baby-boom culture that dominated the West during the last half of the 20th century to the more globalized, multi-racial region that the West is becoming.

Along with this racial shift, there is a religious values shift among today’s youth. Atheism is increasingly prevalent among today’s youth in the United States and elsewhere. According to recent studies, around 30% of young people do not follow any particular faith, nearly double the national average of 15%. This trend is particularly pronounced among Generation Z, where teens aged 13 to 18 are twice as likely as adults to identify as atheist, with 13% of teens versus 6% of adults reporting atheism. Additionally, around 70% of U.S. atheists are 49 years old or younger, indicating a younger demographic shift towards atheism.

Bavarians, Jacobins and Vampires: The Beginnings of the Conspiracy

Today’s youth did not grow up under the warm protective embrace of their extended family. They grew up under the cold, clean, authoritarian and culturally disassociated care of the internet, a virtual propaganda machine of extreme sophistication. Somehow, the Boomers and the intervening Generation Xers dropped the ball, and failed to pass on their values to their children. The Boomers were blindsided—they underestimated the influence of the internet and cell phones on their children.

It is this author’s humble opinion that three things need to happen, to ensure the future success of the alternative community in confronting, challenging and conquering the global totalitarian cabal:

1. Spiritualize the revolution

2. Unite the left and the right against the common enemy

3. Recruit the younger generation
