It is hardly a secret that the three successive post-war generations - the Baby Boomers (those born 1946-1964), the Gen X'rs (those born 1965-1980) and the Millennials (those born 1981-1996) - are in a perennial, media-stoked spat with one another, with the Boomers often characterised as selfish and out of touch, the Gen X'rs as nihilistic hedonists, and the Millennials, spoilt and immature.

The primary reason for these divisions seems to be that, never before in human history, has society changed so rapidly, and transformed so completely, as it did between the 1950s and '60s, when the Boomers were growing up, and the early 2000s, when their Millennial children came of age.

The world that the Boomers grew up in - and therefore prepared their children for - simply no longer exists, and it seems to be this (completely engineered) dramatic social shift responsible for so much misunderstanding and antipathy between the generations. Because such a shift is in no way natural or organic - left to their own devices, societies change and evolve very slowly (if at all), and grandparents and grandchildren grow up in more or less the same way, having many of the same experiences, and learning many of the same life lessons. If we were to interview an Amish 30-year-old and Amish 70-year-old, their perspectives on life would not vary much - their childhoods would have been basically the same, their expectations for adulthood very similar, their understandings of how life should be structured and what prioritised would be very closely comparable - yet their modern mainstream counterparts, a Boomer and a Millennial, may as well be from different species.

A life script was handed to the Boomers that generally worked well for them - do well at school, get a steady job, buy a house, get married, have children.

So they understandably prepped their own children to follow that same script, yet by the time their Millennial children were university-aged, it had already broken down. Educational qualifications had become increasingly worthless, stable jobs increasingly uncommon, houses harder to buy and social bonds increasingly frayed and unstable.

So, the more common trajectory for a Millennial became: stay in education much longer than one's parents did as goalposts have shifted, struggle to find a decent job so end up in a succession of more casual employment ("the gig economy", including unpaid internships), rent or house-share as buying is out of reach, and experience a major relationship breakdown around the age of 25, often leading to a return (temporary or more long-term) to the family home.

Boomer parents are often depicted in various national publications and chat forums tearing their hair out over this phenomenon - why is their 28-year-old son back living in his childhood bedroom and working in a supermarket, when at his age they had good jobs, owned their house, and were married with at least one child?

Inevitably, they blame the shortcomings of their offspring, and there is certainly a case to be made that some younger people have less of a work ethic and more unrealistic expectations, than their parents did (expectations they have often been encouraged to have by the education system and general "follow your dreams" messaging) - but that is too simplistic and 'pat' an explanation for what is nearly a generation-wide phenomenon: that, overwhelmingly, Millennial children are doing worse in all respects (professional, financial, personal, emotional) than their parents at the same age, and this is a very unusual and concerning social decline in a first-world, wealthy country, where we would expect the opposite.

So to understand this phenomenon in its entirety, we really need to examine the changes in the system, which was always rigged - rigged to give Boomers unnatural advantages and then to fail their children, by giving them outdated advice which no longer works (is designed not to work), and then pit the generations against each other by encouraging them to blame each other for this phenomenon, rather than the hidden hands who engineered it.

Obviously, the cost of living crisis has increased exponentially the rise in adult children returning home, but this was a well-established phenomenon before that, and not just for financial reasons. Because of engineered social changes to weaken human bonds and relationships, Millennials almost never experience the kind of seamless stability that was common to the Boomers - to meet someone in your teens or early 20s who you would marry, buy a house with, have children with, and be with for the rest of your lives. I don't suggest these arrangements were always pictures of domestic bliss, but that they did offer fundamental stability and predictability to people upon which to build their lives.

Such a phenomenon is exceptionally rare now, and rather, the late teens / early 20s relationship usually falters around 25, once people have met, moved in together, the initial "spark" has worn off, and they wonder "... now what?". The return to the family home in these circumstances is often not based on financial factors alone, but rather, on a strong natural feeling that they want to be part of a family and formulating one themselves has not worked out.

Needless to say, the cultural engineers have been hard at work for it not to work out, as they are dedicated to atomisation and depopulation, so they have done everything possible to make family, stability, commitment and children seem undesirable and impractical (too expensive etc) to young people. Instead, young adults are encouraged to solely focus on their careers - which is fine for the increasingly small minority of people lucky enough to enjoy "a rewarding career", but not for the vast majority of people who are stuck with normal, ordinary dull jobs.

Throughout human history, people have been able to sustain normal, ordinary jobs because they do not look to these as the epicentre of all fulfilment and meaning, but rather look to their personal and social lives for that. However, the ruthlessly re-engineered social messaging in recent decades has been to spend years and years "building your career" - this is why you get graduates who have spent nearly two decades of their lives in, and countless thousands on, education, nevertheless working for nothing in a succession of unpaid "internships", as they are so desperate to secure what they have been told all their lives is the meaning of human life - a career.

Increasingly, as they advance through their twenties, the mirage begins to evaporate and it increasingly dawns on people that they have been conned, and that that big break in a glittering industry is not just around the corner, and instead they, like most people who have ever worked, are going to be stuck with an ordinary job - but the brutal caveat for increasingly large numbers of young people is that, unlike most people who have ever worked, they don't have the complex tapestry of sustaining stability and meaning that is family, extended family, and community.

"Work friends" and house-shares are generally poor substitutes, as they completely lack all stability, with people frequently leaving jobs for better ones, moving house for new opportunities, and so on. And it is this dawning realisation - that what they have been sold, fancily wrapped as it was - is a poor substitute for real human meaning, that has driven the exodus back to the parental home around the age of 25.

You may ask, "but why would social engineers facilitate this, when they want us atomised and cut off from each other?"

A very good question. The answer is, that this move has been facilitated to cause maximum tension, as the two cohabiting generations resent each other and are increasingly at war with each other. There are no end of anecdotes in the media about how strained these situations often become, with arguments about money, food, coming back late and overnight guests, and more. Human beings have been encouraged to become less tolerant and less cooperative by the social engineers who want us all as isolated as possible, which is a key factor why 1 in 2 marriages, and a staggering 9 in 10 non-marital cohabitations, break down by the 10-year point. We have lost the art of successfully living together over the long-term (it has been intentionally stolen from us) and so forcing cohabiting and intergenerational living on people who are completely unused to it, is only going to - in most circumstances - end in disaster.

Enter stage left, the saviour overlords with their single-occupancy, city-centre SMART pods = subsidised at a rate that all those struggling youngsters can afford and that will FINALLY get them out of the parental hair for good.

If you've been to a city centre in the last five years, you will know that they are all building sites, with blocks of flats shooting up everywhere. These are all compact domiciles and certainly not family homes, as confirmed by a family friend who has just finished an architecture degree, and he said the only thing they were taught to design were single occupancy flats.

You may have wondered, "well, who is going to live in all these flats? People aren't just going to give up their houses to move into cramped city-centre one-person accommodation." Well, this is how they will do it - struggling young people, who are largely single and childless, will be forced back to the family home, once that meeting their financial obligations with low-paid and unstable work becomes impossible (the press is already prepping us for this, with The Guardian strategically publishing this article about struggling, single, under-40s who are barely able to stay afloat). This will lead to all out generational warfare in homes up and down the land, and when the prospect of a state-subsidised SMART pod comes up, the nation's beleaguered Boomers will not be able to drop their children off fast enough.

The social engineers plans for humanity, as we know, is that you will own nothing, and live alone in your SMART pod, working from home and maybe with a robo-pet for company. And the generational wars that they have created are key in ensuring this outcome, because were the generations not at war with each other, then communal and intergenerational living would be the obvious solution to a cost-of-living crisis. But we have been encouraged (all of us born after world war two) to be more selfish and intolerant than previous generations, and many of us would find that prospect unendurable in the long-term (or, in many cases, even in the short-term!).

We will now see a significant uptick in propaganda regarding "spoilt, immature" Millennials and "selfish, out-of-touch" Boomers, and how impossible each cohort is to live with, as the social engineers relentlessly continue stoking a generation war to ensure yet more divide and conquer within families (as if the last two years hadn't done enough of that).

So, as ever, our duty is not to play into establishment hands by giving them what they want and demonising other generations, none of whom are ultimately at fault for the colossal mess of modern society - those who have malevolently engineered it to be this way are.

Lockdown tested a lot of relationships to the hilt (and terminated many more) because it demanded we spend a lot more time with our co-residents than many of us are used to, and therefore demanded we practiced rather more patience and tolerance than might come naturally. So I think that is the name of the game again. Things are undoubtedly going to get tougher (maybe tougher than any of us have ever experienced), and housing and family dynamics will often have to shift to accommodate this. This will cause inevitable frustrations and difficulties. So please always remember that "divide and conquer" is the oldest and most effective military strategy for overthrowing a culture and that the overlords want you and your family/friends at each other's throats and ultimately falling out for good.

So by far the most rebellious and counterculture thing we can do is refuse to give them what they want, tolerate others' imperfections and shortcomings (as we hope they will tolerate ours too), and remember that divided - over generational differences, political differences, what-time-do-you-call-this differences - we fall, and united we stand. The longer the overlords can sustain us fighting amongst ourselves, the longer they can remain insulated from us uniting and directing our anger where it really belongs - at them.
