Mr. Mathis has produced an interesting paper on the phenomenon of vastly increased numbers of suicides and suicidal thoughts in teenagers, particularly in girls.
Mr. Mathis has a liberal ideology of sorts. It is too simplistic to label him a straight liberal of course, so i hope you will not make that mistake. His position concerning sexual relations between teenagers is not one I can wholeheartedly support, being a Catholic, but that is not to say it doesn’t have some merit. After all, should we return to the morals of the time of the Crusaders, or the Inquisition, or even as late as the defence of Malta, all good, solid Catholic times, it remains true that teenagers both male and female would be considered available for marriage and procreation. And this was not just 13 year old peasant girls being raped by 40 year old barons, as the woke “historians” would have you believe.
Boys and girls were in essence considered pretty much as adults from about age 13 or so. Biologically, most hit puberty at that time and while there is some small variance, in general, by age 14, both boys and girls have passed puberty.
I certainly do NOT agree that it is fine for a 30 year old modern male to have sex with a 13 year old girl, but that is also influenced by how present-day 30 year old males are. And I see nothing wrong with a 25 year old woman getting married and bearing children to, say, a 40 year old man. Nor was this uncommon back then. On this point at least, Mr. Mathies and I are in general agreement.
To bring things in stark relief (both for myself as well as for you readers) I think about my daughters, of which I have 4. And my boy, of which we have one. I live in a country where the age of consent is 14, which probably is scandalous to the average Protestant Anglo type.
But I consider various scenarios.
In the first place, I do not believe, that if I do my job correctly as father, any of my daughters would be so foolish as to “fall” for some 30 or 40 year old predator while they are 14. And even if such a situation arose, as a result of God knows what tragic set of circumstances, said predator would be very lucky to achieve the protection of the state in very short order. So that does not concern me.
What if, however, we were to posit say a 17 year old or 18 year old boy with one of my 14 year old daughters? In that respect, it would very much depend on the boy in question. And while there would be no question of my approving of sexual relations at that age, IF the boy turned out to be a decent sort (they still exist, in fact, one of our not too-far off neighbours have a young boy that if he keeps on the same track is quite an outstanding young teenager) I would not be against them courting, with actual sex being not an option, but again, if they are raised right, they probably would not venture into such waters for a good amount of time while courting, even allowing for the escapades of youth.
But consider now a real Zombie Apocalypse scenario. And one of those decent boys really cares for one of my daughters, and the situation is dire and rough and there is death and calamity everywhere. Well, always depending on the boy, I may well be more willing to even let them escape and elope to safer lands on their own. Why? Because at that age, a boy that really loves a girl, is likely to still have that instinct to literally take a bullet for her if need be, and that’s the kind of boy I want for my girls. And if they grow up together surviving all sorts of hellish landscapes, chances are that they will actually end up staying together down the line too.
The problem is that in a Universe 25 scenario, with no bombs dropping, no life-and-death derring do, or survival requirement, most teenagers are functionally retarded. Their attention span is limited to a Tik-Tok video of 90 seconds, their imagination even more stunted and their future makes the radioactive landscape of Gamma World look like fun.
It’s hard to argue with Mr. Mathies’ overview either:
Likewise with these CDC numbers from highschools. If I am shocked by anything, I am shocked by the fact that these kids haven’t already burned down every highschool in the country. If the school uniform weren’t a straightjacket, they probably would have. I think the only way they have avoided it is by masking everyone and then sending them all home for a Zoom conference. To avoid revolution in the next round, they are going to have to graduate to kevlar muzzles, leg manacles, iron bars, and electrified fences. You may laugh, but they are already installing expensive security systems nationwide, and it isn’t to keep the shooters out. It is to keep the prisoners in. The fake shooters are just the excuse.
If kids were now what they were in my day, the highschools would already be ash. Young people now are so decimated by fluoride, poisoned food, drugs, and 24/7 brainwashing and gaslighting, they seem to us older generations like some nuked cave-people, slouching around glassy-eyed in clown clothing, mesmerized by their phones and puking up chopped sentences that only distantly resemble language. The military is now admitting that 75% of them aren’t even qualified to clean latrines or polish their shoes while saying yessir. And the other 25% is skinny-stupid.
The only way I can believe highschool students aren’t all suicidal or homicidal, down to the last boy and girl, is that they are too vacant to achieve the state. They are too zonked on anti-depressants they stole from the medicine cabinet to remember what sadness is. They are too bombed on thorazine to spell hopelessness. This CDC report we have been looking at includes sections on alcohol, weed, illicit drugs, and opioids, telling us their levels of use in highschool are all dropping, but that leaves out prescription drugs, doesn’t it? If there is less use of all this other stuff—which is highly doubtful—it can only be because the drug companies have replaced those things with their own products. Like their parents, these kids are wasted beyond any conception of sadness on anti-depressants, anti-anxieties, anti-psychotics, and anti-emotives of all classes and types, beyond the comprehension of any person of my limited experience.
Despite that, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the revolution started in the highschools, and I hope it does since the kids will be the hardest to shoot, jail, or disappear without incident. The nation seems to have accepted having its great-grandparents murdered by ventilators and fake drugs; we will see how it responds to having its children rounded up and jailed for “insurrection and terrorism” when they dry out and torch all these concentration camps we now call schools.
Truly, young people, if any of you can even read this, I truly hope you get off the drugs, off the weird internet, and start to plan the complete takedown of the society the boomers instigated, that we GenXers didn’t burn at the stake, although, in fairness, we were too few, and many beaten down and shell-shocked, but most importantly, we were unable to see that we were heading to this place we are in now. The Millennials are basically Boomers redux, so it’s up to the Zyklons, if they are not too stoned and drugged out, and whatever comes next, which I hope are going to be the equivalent of Crusading Inquisitors. For my part, and I know I am not alone among GenXers, I’ll certainly do what I can. Building up the zealots for now, trying to put together communities of hardcore Catholics and when and if the zombie apocalypse does arrive, oh well… don’t be surprised is a few grey-haired older guys are laughing as they empty all their weapons at the enemy, Severely outnumbered and outgunned though they might be.
Boomers and GenX are homogeneous for the most part, the following generations cascade in one of their molds.
Millennials are Boomer Jr’s, usually the only child who had Boomer parents who showed them the ways of selfishness and entitlement. These are your family gatherings where adults outnumber kids 4 to 1, at least before the jab.
This kept going with the Zoomers. Zoomers are the worst. They are the epitome of all the clown world tropes, filling the ranks of feds, drag story hour, antifa, HR departments, etc. Very gapey.
The Gen X who got out of dodge through the trades or military when they turned 18, with lessons like “A carton of cigarettes was worth more than a SAT test” bred a repeat in Gen Y and Gen Z in terms of reinventing the wheel each generation. The Zyklons come from this having not fallen into the traps of clown world, or by escaping them with vendettas aplenty.
Boomers and GenX are very different, certainly not homogeneous. Unless you mean they are so within their own class. Even then, I am not so sure. GenX tends to have two types, the beaten down and the junkyard dog.
Boomers are definitely more of one mould types, agreed.
Zoomers and Zyklons are the same generation, also known as Gen Z. The ones after them are Gen Alpha and too young to make a generic judgement yet, but as far as I can tell there is hope.
Gen Z are not that bad as far as I can tell they certainly are leaps and bounds ahead of Millennials or boomers. though, in general, yes, they are fragile, but that’s a trend that as Gen X, we see in every generation after ours.
I think you’ve confused various names as being different cohorts, while they are the same one.
