Dining sets. Yeah, dining sets. They suck, and they’re a symptom of the great philosophical illness that plagues the collective consciousness. I know what you’re thinking, some random blogger is diagnosing western society with a spiritual sickness on the basis of a table and matching set of chairs. You might think me mad now, but just you wait. To start off with, dining sets are pieces of wood assembled together with metal bolts and washers which are then sold at a condescendingly high markup to people who don’t need to buy them. We’re dealing with a luxury item whose lifecycle is as follows: unnecessary purchase, two-years of use, disposal or pitiful resale, repeat steps 1-3. In my life experience I have watched various loved ones purchase and replace dining sets with one another multiple times in rather quick succession. Instead of retaining this set of chairs and table for multiple decades at a time, I have watched them be thrown out, sold off, given away and replaced with identical ones in a seemingly cyclical manner. I’ve always wondered why people can’t deal with keeping one dining set over the course of their lives, then I realized something rather profound. The upper class is doing the equivalent of a toddler spending mommy’s money on Angry Birds power ups and gems. In app purchases for the dopamine hit that comes with the first ten seconds after attaining it. This income bracket is dominated by a segment of the population so thoroughly riddled with materialism that they relish the opportunity to consume away their wealth because of its resultant euphoric chemical response. Instead of paying their employees enough to support their family, or maybe giving money to their children so they can start a life without becoming wage slave, tax cattle, debt-pigs, they’re gonna hook themselves up with a rockin’ gray table and chairs that really matches the emptiness and sterility of their souls. Here’s the sum of the whole matter: materialism is an addiction, like porn and alcohol. Ten seconds of pleasure-hormone release from attaining novelty, and then the inevitable crash that comes with familiarity. Dear reader, whoever you are, objects, substances, sex, marriage, or even having children, will NEVER give you fulfillment. The only one who can ever fill that hole that every gentile has in their hearts is the one who made them. Yeah, its audacious but its correct, and everything about this world confirms it, Christianity is the right answer, and belief on Jesus Christ is the only way you will ever find contentment or peace. Other religions tie Godly peace to various things like: rigorous observance of tradition, denial of the existence of sin, imagining oneself to be a literal piece of God or whatever pretty but untrue doctrine that attracts members. Anyways, if ever there has been a generation of people so thoroughly distanced from God and so desperately anchored to this place, it’s the boomers. Their path has been consumption and degeneracy, and their fruits are resentful children and lots of national debt. To justify their leaving this plane of existence worse than how they found it, they had to champion a world view that omits God (scientism), and thus permits their excessive and sinful lifestyle. The dining set generation has been placed here by God to illustrate the folly of replacing God with riches, they are a living warning to everyone who would follow in their footsteps. Another thing, the more Godless you are, the more you fear death, in fact all actual Christians welcome death in a certain sense because they are so at peace with God that they’re ready to leave here and go to him. Point being, how at peace are the boomers with their passing? From where I’m standing they’re so utterly terrified by the concept that they’re waiting with baited breath on the commandments of their lab-coat-wearing gods, and treating their word as gospel, with all who question or resist being heretics. In other words, they’ve wholeheartedly embraced the current narrative, and all of its disproportionately harmful effects (ie: increased suicides, lost income, child mental trauma, etc.), because they’ve been told they’ll die if they don’t. In summation, the dining set is a symbol of materialism, materialism is a symptom of Godlessness, and the boomers are a largely Godless generation, a fact illustrated by their fear of death and failure to improve this world.
