Gen X, Jiu Jitsu and Societal Responsibility

1244 sats \ 21 comments \ @cristaiji 4 Jan ideasfromtheedge

I feel like we Gen X’s have a massive responsibility to the younger generations.

To get our shit together and be a decent example.

As @HODL pointed out millennials may be the most psy oped generation.

But then you consider Gen Z and the issues they are going through around gender identity etc.

They have been hugely messed with psychologically and spiritually……and through the school system…..and it’s still going on.

The jiu jitsu community get it I think. The ideology around the sport from the Gracie’s and other Brazilian families that spearheaded jiu jitsu in the west has a very healthy outlook.

Striving to be better humans but also to help and lift each other up. They understand the importance of hard graft, of competition and of family.

My kid got his grey belt today so I’m particularly reflective on this sport and its value to society.

We’re gonna need a healthy perspective particularly in the UK where perhaps the worst types of people you can imagine are currently in government. And don’t get me wrong the previous lot were not very much different.

We’ve been sold out to the globalists. I think Americans generally get it and the Brits are gradually waking up and having the same realisation. It’s a global shift in consciousness.

But yeah it is up to us now to right the ship and set a course. 🙏

I'm in despair about the situation in the UK and its future. I see it as a duty to raise a new generation of rebels.

My little one recently got his first stripe and is eagerly waiting for his second. He loves bjj.

That’s great. It’s a fantastic sport for children. I reckon the kids that stay close to the jiu jitsu scene will do well.

it's important kids know how to fight and defend themselves in UK since there are so many immigrant thugs from the third world

tbh, I am more fearful of the globalist thugs running the government than the immigrant thugs.

They take their shit seriously and it pays off for sure. The pic is of Roger Gracie who is a GOAT particularly with the Gi.

Great to read you again! I see that you have been doing well.

Well, there are videos that share the POV that Gen Zs are rather financial savvy because they are keen to avoid the mistakes made by their Gen Y seniors. So who knows? They seem to have a good head on their shoulders.

What’s psy oped?

And is that you in real life?! Haha

Thanks. Yeah it’s me. 😂

Psy op short for ‘psychological operation’. In other words people with power in our world enjoying social engineering or propagating twisted ideologies or untruths through their influence over the media, schooling, politics etc.

False flags and coup d’etat are other examples. Basically anything that deliberately and cynically manipulates the minds of the masses could be considered a psychological operation.

Reddit is a good example. Astroturfing. Woke echo chambers.

Gen Y and Z are begging for student loan forgiveness in USA.

If asking for a handout is being financially savvy, sure they are

It's true, Gen Z has been massively messed with and it's largely Gen X's and Gen Y's (millennials) fault for propagating a hedonistic, amoral, relativistic, and materialistic worldview.

Trump did best with Gen X.

Milennials and Gen Z, the majority don't believe in free speech and support censorship and cancellation. Generation woke.

The best way to punish them is cut off all financial support after college.

We’ve been sold out to the globalists

The people sold them self's out, by choice. Democracy and Statism is the cancer of the human race.

Peer pressure

Woke stubbornness

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @cristaiji OP 4 Jan

It’s complicated. A lot of people don’t have any consciousness of global political agendas.

They are working long hours and then wondering why they can’t afford anything and getting poorer every year.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Bell_curve 4 Jan

Which generations are working long hours?

I guess the gender studies major didn't pay dividends financially

edit: also Gen Y and Z are so strident politically. I hope they remain poor.

Gen Y and Z are most brainwashed generations because they want to be. Every generation succumbs to peer pressure but most eventually grow out of it. These generations are different. They don't want to grow up. They don't want to think for themselves. They enjoy being part of a globalist hivemind. And they like to tell everyone about it. You are with them or against them.

I will be against them.
