Boomer Enforcers: How the Elderly Became Guard Dogs for Western Regimes, and Why.

The generation associated with all kinds of revolution is now suppressing dissent and protecting those in power.

Minutes after reports detailed the alleged assassination of MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk at an event in Utah on Wednesday, authorities apprehended at least one suspect – a – before releasing him and stating that the perpetrator remains at large. Such profiling is hardly surprising these days.

Way back in the day, Boomers championed democracy and freedom and were the biggest critics of the system. Now, they’re its main protectors. If they have to physically incapacitate an anti-establishment rebel in order to maintain the flawed status quo, they will.

What appeared to be a typically tranquil day earlier this month in the supposedly utopian EU garden saw the frontrunner in next month’s Czech parliamentary election assaulted. He received a high five – from an old man, to the head. . While he was out campaigning. So he decided to on the bench to regain his composure before returning to the campaign trail and risking another Boomer beatdown.

It’s not hard to infer the political leanings of this politician, Andrej Babiš, or his ANO party’s alliances within the European Parliament, given how easily they provoke certain individuals.

“After Slovakia, violence has seeped into Czech politics as well. No wonder. His political adversaries have demonized @AndrejBabis for years. This is the result. But they will not stop him. He will go on and win the elections! Get well soon, my friend!” declared anti-establishment Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

Like Orbán, it turns out that Babiš and his right-leaning populist party meet all the criteria for inducing “Boomer derangement syndrome.” Opposed to defense spending “for Ukraine” and NATO’s demand to spend 5% of GDP on weapons while a cost-of-living crisis rages at home? Yes. Fed up with the EU’s green authoritarianism and lax migration policies? Yes. Against Ukraine being brought into the EU? Yes.

Basically, Babiš is articulating the same message that’s increasingly resonating with a growing number of citizens all across the EU and boosting polling for parties like his that oppose the establishment status quo. So it’s not surprising that his party attributes the attack to the atmosphere created by that same establishment.

“The hatred spread by the ruling parties on billboards and social media has today resulted in an attack on Andrej Babiš,” stated party deputy Alena Schillerová. “This is a direct consequence of their campaign based on fear and division. The ANO movement will continue to run a positive campaign, without labeling or scaremongering, and we call on all parties and movements in the Czech Republic to do the same.”

If this all sounds familiar, it should. It’s not the first time that a candidate opposing the EU establishment’s position on Ukraine has suffered an assault from an ardent Boomer fan of “Ukrainian values.” Last year, Slovak Prime Prime Minister Robert Fico sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the abdomen in an assassination attempt. It came out in court that the perpetrator, yet another seemingly “peace-and-love” Boomer, this time a 71-year-old “poet,” was greatly agitated over Fico’s Ukraine policy.

“I forgive him and let him reconcile what he did and why he did it in his own mind. In the end, it is evident that he was only a messenger of evil and political hatred, which the politically unsuccessful and frustrated opposition developed in Slovakia to unmanageable proportions,” Fico stated in his post-recovery return to public life. That opposition, in Fico’s case, would be the establishment that influences Boomers.

Alright, so are there any other politicians supporting the end of war in Ukraine for Boomers to target? Apparently, many. It’s like the EU garden is hosting one big state fair and hosting a giant game of Whack-a-Mole, with Boomers assaulting populist peace advocates as if they’re gunning for a high score.

Last year in Germany, the press recorded on populist right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) politicians over six months – doubling such violence in five years. That figure includes, for example, a city council official stabbed with a box cutter. All this had occurred as the party leads in opinion polls.

Anyway, one has to wonder why every time a politician questions the establishment’s Ukraine policy, some radicalized Boomer volunteers to ‘fact-check’ them with physical violence. In the tranquil EU garden, opposing Ukraine policy apparently means that you’re the “weed” getting “whacked.”

, a “Boom-adjacent” 59-year-old, is accused of attempting to assassinate US President Donald Trump at his golf course in Florida back in 2022. Before that, he was allegedly helping to make drones in Kyiv and recruiting for the frontlines to compensate for personally being deemed unsuitable as cannon fodder.

Whatever happened to fighting the system? Nowadays, Boomers seem the most radicalized by it and have become willing instruments in protecting the establishment. Perhaps because, as an age group, they’re the biggest beneficiaries of its entitlements, and somehow think that it can only get worse.

How else to explain the absurdly violent imagery in the last Canadian federal election? A veritable “Boomer tsunami” inundated the campaign with “Elbows Up” t-shirts and imagery, ripped straight from hockey jargon, pretending to sharpen those joints to battle Trump. How? By making sure the Gen X right-wing anti-establishment candidate lost to Boomer career central banker and globalist favorite Mark Carney. They’d have been better off investing in some knee pads, given the lack of tangible improvement to their lives since Carney’s election.

For a generation synonymous with all kinds of revolutions – sexual, musical, cultural, anti-war, civil rights, women’s liberty – they sure seem intent on clinging to whatever “The Man” tells them to think through official channels and corporate media.

Gallup and other polling outlets reporting in 2024–2025 sympathy and approval for Israel’s actions were more concentrated among the over-55 age groups. Last year, Pew Research reported that only 16% of adults under 30 the US providing military aid to Israel, compared with 56% of those 65 and older. As The Guardian earlier this year, “a net total of 49% of over-70s supported military service” for Ukraine among Europeans actually eligible to be deployed – unlike them.

Is this seriously the same generation that saw right through all the falsehoods peddled about fighting to the last American in Vietnam? Now some of them are quite literally taking up arms against those they feel are standing in the way of the military-industrial complex.

It appears the revolution has come full circle. Boomers are suppressing the rebels with one hand while polishing their rulers’ trophies with the other. Hey Boomers, save all that passion and aggression for the real villains – not the ones your TV told you to hate this week.
