Boomers fell for commercial memeing while they voted away the real values and traditions of society, and expect us to value their shitty trinkets.

Seems the problem here lies with Boomers who squandered their wealth on useless trash. Baby Boomers prove themselves to be the most retarded, corrupt generation in history.

God I would kill for a collection of Hummels.

The point of the article is all the CRAP boomers have collected over years they think is valuable or sentimental. It's usually only sentimental to themselves and most of their trinkets wouldn't get on Antique Road Show by a long shot (or eBay for that matter!).

>>136418271
A lot of those cups and plates are made of fine china with gilded parts or are made from sterling silver. They have value in that they are typically well made from fine materials and also serve a function.

I can tell you right now that 99.9% of the "China" these boomers own are reproductions made in the 70's that they bought off the home shopping channel.

Actual china is quite valuable, but very few boomers own actual china.

I wouldn't pay a penny for some useless old trinket.

My family actually hasn't been too bad about hoarding but that might be due to them growing up in poverty. Hell the pieces my grandmother had was given to her for free by people and she turned around and sold it for profit. Now my friend though, his family are hoarders. He buys tons of ham radios and computers, his mom collected Barbies, his grandmother collects Hallmark shit and even goes to Hallmark conventions. Blew my mind when I went to their houses for the first time.

Only if a person is a vapid consumer. Junk is junk. Almost everything sold over the past 50 years was designed from the factory to go straight into the trash. Boomers are the ones responsible for moving the quality of items from worthwhile investments to land fill fodder. Why should they be surprised and haunted by the fact that their land fill fodder possessions are just that, land fill fodder?

>>136423430
Yeah, boomers seem to think you need a giant master bedroom half the size of your house, plus 1 bedroom per kid, plus a guest bedroom, plus an office, plus a fully finished room in the basement that they keep all of their parents' possessions in.

In my upbringing, the fact that I have a 1200 square foot house to myself now is like living like a king. I am thoroughly convinced that a nice 1800 square foot house is all any normal sized family needs. It's because people won't make their kids learn to share rooms and shit. If you have 4 kids, they're bound to be spread out to some extent in age, and at least 2 of them should be the right ages to share a room. When the oldest gets old enough, you let them live in that room in the basement, which they'll be begging to do anyways, and the 2 kids sharing a room don't have to share a room anymore once they're old enough because one of them can take the oldest's empty room. This is how people used to grow up. You used to watch TV shows where kids had to share rooms and learn how to not be pieces of shit. Now-a-days kids don't learn that until they're in their college dorms, and by then they're fucking assholes who like to leave blood and half eaten ramen everywhere.

I mean if someone gives me something I always take it and thank them. I won't guarantee I'll keep it though. Thankfully people know if they give it to me or my dad most likely it's about to be sold or thrown in the dump unless it's something really special.

recently helped my mom move. Convinced her to just throw out anything that was just in storage. we went through it all and i asked her to evaluate every objects aura to see if it triggered any precious memories.

we were able to downsize quite a bit and once stuff was sold, given away to a second hand store/charity, or tossed out she realized just how liberating it was not to have so much stuff.

though i laughed, because half of the stuff she was throwing away her sister took to fill their houses full of crap.

>>136423963
i dont know about degenerate. yes it can become an obsession but typically just using the fruit of your labor to acquire something you cant create for yourself. and you have to realize these people were born at a time when a quilt was a family heirloom and janky looking doll was the only toy a girl would ever have.
of course i wouldnt expect you to keep everything but im just saying if they are offering you something its a very sentimental gesture no matter how worthless it is.

and ill give you a great piece of wisdom, gratitude is the key for more

She isn't family but when I was little I used to spend tons of time with a family friend who attended the same church. Really old lady, super traditional. She made the best damn quilts I've ever seen. I've been meaning to ask if I could buy one from her since her health's declining and she may not have much longer. I've never had a quilt so warm and high quality in my life than those she made when I was a kid. I don't mind paying her whatever she wants for it since she could use the money.

>>136424973
> consumerism isn't degenerate
>gratitude is the key for more
I don't need to be given worthless trinkets and stuff to feel gratitude though. Maybe its because I prefer minimalism over consumption. Trinkets and items of no real practical value and without attached memories don't elicit gratitude from me. They are a burden, junk to be rid of and create bad times when it has to be explained that
>No. I am not hanging that hideous vintage kitsch as a center piece in my living room ffs.
>No. I don't want nor have space for that moldy old couch
More then half the time when crap gets offered from boomers to younger generations its worn out crap the boomers don't want. Why should we glady take it and make space in our houses for it. Its not like if we offered them a bunch of worn out crap that they would be grateful and take it. They would just blow us off and be pricks about it too the same as we have to be to them.

>>136424992
No they aren't. They are acting like its the 1980s and the real estate boom is happening. That boom is come, gone and busted as of 2009. McMansions are a wasted investment and buying one of them generally only enriches the boomers selling them off.

>>136425747
Yeah, if they have shit they don't want and they want that gushy feeling of 'someone is going to enjoy this more than I will', they can put it by the side of the road with a free sign on it and it will be gone within 6 seconds to someone who actually would legitimately be glad to have that moldy couch that's been peed on by 2 different cats and 4 different dogs, and will be excited to take it home, clean it up a bit and put it in their living room.

value of toys rest in how unique or rare they are. most boomer shit is worthless as its mass produced crap. only precious metals and fine hand made artisan goods are worth anything.

>>136427358
You're incorrect. Die cast toys are worth quite a bit. In 2002, the largest single collection of die cast dinkies and corgies was auctioned for over a million pounds in the UK. Stuff like that and die cast airplanes are worth more than you think.

>>136427028
There's a fine line between actual collectible vintage toys and cheap, unusable mass-produced plates and other trinkets that are only good for sitting in a China cabinet. Some of the "collectible" utensil and tableware sets even contain shit like lead based paint and cadmium.

I'm so glad my grandpa left me his stock plan instead of all the usual Boomer trinkets when he died.

Toy collectors always exist but values change as time passes and fads pass. Take for example Beanie Babies the market has dropped off the face of the earth. Transformer toy prices are blowing them out of the water right now. Transformer value will fade though as they are a fad like Beanie Babies. True actual antiques on the other hand gold their value more steadily. WWII is a point in the industrial revoluiton that transitions from older forms of manufacturing to modern forms of manufacturing. Toys made pre WWII will always hold and gain more value in our lifetimes compared to modern made items.

I occasionally will look at antiques and I can tell you that in terms of my personal taste, 98% of the stuff is utter crap.

One or two of the cups and saucers on the top left of the cabinet, and the circular crystal platter on the bottom right are the only items worth taking, in my opinion.

Problem is most of the stuff is just fucking gauche and worthless. Sorry you wasted your money on it, and maybe people disagree with me and find it appealing, or will in the future. I actually like old stuff and am looking forward to picking through more estate sales because there are some absolutely beautiful items for sale, this item for example I would snatch up quickly, and could probably get it for 50 bucks.

that's not how heirlooms work, lad.

You know how the most cliche example of heirloom is some kind of extremely worn pocket watch that has a picture inside of it?

Why do you think it is a heirloom and not some random brand new-looking watch? Because somebody bought it for arbitrary price when it was new and then decided to store it in a fucking drawer to preserve its mint condition or because somebody actually carried it around with them all the time and used it so it became a part of their life?

My family grew up in poverty, but they learned the lesson of "spend it as fast as you get it"
My mom will spend her last 5 dollars on a fucking weight lose magazine in the Walmart checkout line, read it that night, and throw it away.
She literally throws away $100's a week!

Then they come to me, begging for money.

THIS
just had an estate sale for my grandmother (late stage alzheimers, real depressing had to get her in an assisted living situation it was that bad). The amount of useless pointless trinkets the were never anything but meaningless decoration bought by those with too much money and not enough foresight was saddening, and desu I felt a little disgusted with the boomer generation.
they buy and they sell all their trash to each other, but they are all bankrupt on selling

what about our future?
- no family albums or photos to hand down, everything is digital
- no large old furniture to offload, everyone has simple ikea stuff that doesn't last
- can't hand down electronics since it'll be out of date
- you can buy a big set of silverware and plates for cheap. no more handing down cutlery collections and saucers
- books and paintings are useless too
- no one needs 100 different cookie cutters and brownie molds nowadays

the only things I can think of are camping gear, tools, guns, and certain rugged appliances like old grills.

the reason millenials and generation z people are like this is because they played rpgs so they know about inventory management

no one's going to buy it. The people that do will be copies of your parents hoarding that shit to give to their kids who will sell it at another garage sale.

Microeconomics has a special section about "collectibles", art and other tangible objects with no discernible value beyond whatever is going the mind of the collector. It's opportunity cost in a transaction that only works in favor of the seller.

Never do it unless you're an idiot. At that point you and your money will be soon parted anyway.

I've noticed that Boomers without strong relationships with their children often attempt to create traditions as a means of bringing them closer. For example, last year my father, who I don't have a great relationship with got me a Canadian $20 bill. I don't like Canada. He's not from Canada and only went there once. Neither of us has any real emotional connection with Canada, the bill, or even each other (I was raised by my mother and have rarely seen him after age 9).

But still, he gave me the $20 bill and said that he had another $20 just like it - it would be like a tradition to remember him by. Although I didn't think much of it at the time (he made similar gestures in the past), the more I thought about it the more depressed I became. To him, this was a real effort to repair the rift between us. I don't doubt his sincerity, nor do I think that he is a bad person. I just don't want him to be part of my life, or my childrens' lives.

Eventually I realized that this is how he - and his generation - was taught to approach traditions. Rather than based on anything substantive, like a shared experience or at least a shared past, they view traditions as something you buy. That's why the Boomers have so much worthless crap: Someone sold them "family china" as something they could pass down to their children. They probably kept it in a cabinet (like my mother did), never using it for meals because they might ruin it. Its use didn't matter to them, only what it represented. Then, as they near the end of their lives, they are shocked to find that their children have no attachment to these things.

With this approach in mind, the neolib/neocon pheonomenon of the last 30 years isn't surprising - there's an entire generation of sad old people desperate to create meaning without knowing how. So they turn to comforting images in the mass media, corporate-backed propaganda, and "common sense" values, all of which were designed ultimately designed to sell someone something.

Boomers glassware and china is no different to gen x's who mass bought comicbooks in the 90s thinking they'd be worth something. Only gen x's realized pretty quickly that the only reason action comics no1 is valuable is because there aren't that many in existence and superman became a cultural icon. There's a reason i can go to any garage sale and pick up cutlery, plates and tea cups for a few cents each.

That's my theory. Don't forget that Boomers lived through the golden age of marketing - many cultural events of their generation were entirely dreamed up by advertising firms on Madison Avenue.

Take the Civil Rights movement - the overwhelming majority of Boomers did not participate in it - or even witness it (neighborhoods were largely segregated back them). So they cling to the myth of MLK's nonviolent resistance (because that's the media wanted to push) as instrumental in achieving civil rights for black people, while completely brushing over the vital role Black Panthers, Robert F. Williams, and other more militant factions (as a white nationalist, I think everyone should read black liberation lit - it's very applicable to our own ethnonationalist movement). This approach, though ahistorical, is much more media friendly and allows for Boomers to build moral consensus around it. Because it's what they saw on TV, it's all they know and becomes their "history."

Can you imagine how effective disinformation campaigns were before the internet? The media was run by the same people, and they had the market completely captive.

>>136423430
>why the hell do boomers do this.

They were brainwashed pretty hard. They were the first generation to live fully with television.

We would have turned out similar but we ended up with the internet, and were lucky enough to find 4chan.

It's only because the chan's allow users to control content with minimal censorship that we broke the conditioning. Look at your fellow millenials brainwashed either by legacy media, or controlled internet media. Complete zombies.

All of their "china" was mass-manufactured in China. It costs pennies to produce and they think it's worth millions, just like their garbage houses.

That's how families accumulate old money over generations. Plates can sell for a few grand, if not more. Y'all are dumb, there's an ebay and vintage antiques are literally the best. Plus, if you didn't like that relative, just keep the stuff in an attic either way. Too many people either steal or inherit their grandparents stuff to pawn for cheap beer. Literally, so dumb.

Some of it was, a lot of it wasn't. Some boomers have stuff that is worth something. Most don't.

What is going to be weird after all the boomers die is watching Generation X become another Silent Generation, with no wealth and no means to generate wealth, and aging fast with no means to take care of themselves. They will die poor and sick. Millenials will continue to be divided all the way to their deaths and probably things will get bad enough considering how conservative that Gen Z is, we might see some serious changes to how the country is run.

This is a meme. Mass produced plates are not an investment. For every 1 actually valuable piece of dishware, there are 1,000,000 worthless "heirloom grade" sets of china.

Honestly I'm worried that if I told him how I really felt about him that he'd harm himself. He's built up this image of our relationship that isn't tied to reality at all. I know he is very lonely, but he is a very negative influence on my life. It's taken me a long time to unlearn the bad habits he taught me.

I think it's best to be polite, but firm, in your refusal to take your relationship beyone something you're comfortable with. There's no need to be rude, just say that you're busy and know that this seperation is the only healthy choice to make. I call him every month or so to see how he's doing and try to visit him once a year or two. I'm OK with keeping things at that level.

> He watched TV in all his freetime, even half the shit he says are quotes from the simpsons or some shitty 70s comedy, nothing of substance.

Buying gold as a hedge against inflation will only store wealth, arguably at a rate similar to interest from banks.

Also, silver is super fucking cheap and gold is super expensive (so you're entire life savings will amount to a fraction of an ounce).

And thus your entire net worth becomes inherently pilferable and losable.

So how about you invest in a business you own or a mutual fund.

I think the only way he knew how to interact with me was watching tape recorded episodes of the simpsons or yelling at me about a cup in my room.

This really resonated with me - my dad is convinced that one of our traditions is going to the movies. He considers it important bonding time and would insist on going to them even if there wasn't anything that neither he nor I wanted to see.

The only reason I wanted to go to the movies when I spent time with him as a child was because it meant I wouldn't have to talk with him. We don't have anything to talk about.

I know it can be difficult dealing with this, but you have to stay strong - for your children if nothing else. Your father neglected you because he was weak. Don't let his weakness infect you.

My parents were like that. My sister and I spent years gradually getting them to get rid of useless garbage. We took carloads and carloads of stuff to Goodwill or the dump, and for each item, my mother had to explain what it was, why she cared about it, and why we might want it.

We could probably still haul away carloads of stuff if she were willing to let it go, but she's not.

This. Boomers don't have the right to piss away 10+ white generations wealth and effort by selling Australia to the Chinese.

Ahahahaha. Of course they are not trying to give their kids homes or property or anything that would help them to build families of their own. No, no, they intend to rent them out at ridiculous rates and live forever off of the blood of the younger generations.
My parents have several rental homes, most of which were given to them by their parents. They never had to pay rent anywhere, were given two houses when they moved out so that they could rent one and live in the other and then, as the grandparents got older, more land and houses were passed down. They died owning the one home they lived in and still managed to leave their kids a pretty decent amount of money in the will.
Meanwhile my parents bitch about why I don't have kids when I spent 10 years of my life renting a fucking apartment because they simply cannot get by without all of their rental money. Oh, and now that they're getting older and retiring and upkeep is getting more difficult they're selling the properties off to pay off debts. I have no idea how someone can make 10-15k a month in just rent and still be so far in debt but they're 2 houses down and still not out of debt They'll die in massive debt after pissing away everything that was given to them and handing nothing on to their own children.
And they do bitch when we don't want to take their old shit. Usually it still has the price tags from where they tried to unload it at a yard sale.

I realize it sounds entitled to bitch about not getting handed houses and so on but it's fucking mind numbing to watch everything that took generations of your family handing down to build up getting pissed away in a single generation. It's like they feel no obligation to anyone but themselves.

Gen X as silent generation 2.0
They are just too close to the boomers, who gobble up everything around them and keep the wealth in their boomer circles. By the time a boomer retires from his top position at a company a gen-X-er will get it for what 5 years compared to the boomers 25?
They really got screwed.
As for millennials you are right about the divide. There is a chasm between 'awake' millennials and the retard leftist ones.

Nothing but niggers and other brown skinned foreigners as far as the eye could see, fat old white women on scooters and large groups of fat morbidly obese Mexican women.

This is the future you will be inheriting to any child, and make no mistake about it they will not be as kind and forgiving towards whites as the whites have been to them.
