  • I think Gen X still believes that they saved Africa from communism by listening to a rock music concert. Live aid perfectly combined activism with consumerism.

    Gen X grew up under rampant consumerism of the 80s. Plastic action figures and dolls. They have all of their nostalgia invested into brands.

    Gen X will never shut the fuck up about how they were the last generation to play outside.

    They get mad about regulations. “We used to have candy cigarettes and lawn darts.” “Why don’t they show guns in kid cartoons anymore?” “Kids today are too soft”.

    They grew up entirely under Reagan, so they believe all of Reagan’s policies: “welfare queens”, fear of frivolous lawsuits, anti-union sentiment, etc.

    They spent most of their childhood eating leaded painted chips and inhaling leaded gasoline. I believe this causes Gen X to have behavioral problems in the current day.

    They experienced the 90s crime panic as soon as they get out of high school and now they still obsess over local crime numbers. This is probably tied to some racist beliefs.

    The 90s culture told them that it’s wrong to work in an office jobs because it’s boring and they’re all meant to be rock stars. They think they’re too good for a steady job.

    Their culture they were raised by tells them that they are rebellious but they aren’t rebelling against anything. 80s rock music presented a generic image of rebellion against nothing in particular, maybe cold war rebellion against communism. Today their instilled rebellion manifests itself against social movements, ie rebelling against “woke”. See Kid Rock as example.

    Gen X loves fast food but they want to murder the people who make fast food.

    Gen X didn’t have the internet until they were already adults. They never developed skepticism for the internet properly. Facebook bricked their brains.

    I think a lot of their beliefs are probably influenced by Reaganism. They internalized Reagan’s policies as children because they were too young to see the biases.











  • Notes from Drop Sites News:

    • The plan is being seriously considered and has been discussed with Libyan leadership. In exchange, the U.S. would potentially unfreeze billions of dollars in Libyan assets.

    • Israel is aware of the discussions. Senior Hamas official, Dr. Basem Naim, said that Hamas was not aware of any discussions. No final agreement has been reached, NBC reports and the State Department and National Security Council declined comment.

    • Libya, still divided between rival governments, is struggling with war and instability. The U.S. currently warns against travel due to “crime, terrorism, kidnapping, and armed conflict.”

    • Plans include possible financial incentives like free housing or stipends to encourage voluntary departure—but it’s unclear how many Palestinians would agree.

    • Transport options being considered include airlifts, sea routes, and land convoys, all of which pose major logistical hurdles. Gaza lacks an airport, and Israel may not permit overland travel to Egypt.

    • The U.S. has also reportedly considered Syria under its new post-Assad leadership as a potential resettlement site.

    • Trump previously said Palestinians would need to be relocated so the U.S. could “take over” and rebuild Gaza as a “Riviera of the Middle East.” He added: “I don’t think people should be going back to Gaza.”

    • The proposal for ethnically cleansing Gaza has faced intense pushback from Arab allies and members of Congress.
