Alongside the pokemon challenges i run, we also spend a lot of time on stream having real conversations about our lives and things that bother us
Estranged parents is where that line lands for me
Today, again, Diane is going to force us to sit through what she thinks is a smart and cohesive argument. It is neither
IVE BEEN WATCHING A LOT OF BOZE VS THE WORLD ALRIGHT

She would rather blame vaccines and governmental fiscal mismanagement than take responsibility for causing harm to her child
anything but her own actions
I kinda love that in a sad comedic way. It’s Occam’s razor, but backwards.
Instead of choosing the simplest answer “I wasn’t as good a mother as I thought I was”, it’s easier for her to construct a multi-stage conspiracy that merges higher education, liberalism, mass psychogenic illness, brainwashing, fiscal mismanagement and entitlement beyond reason. Cause… that’s far more plausible than her not being the good person she thinks she is.
She’s does some circ du soleil acrobatics to avoid taking accountability.
As someone who can only do a backflip, her gymnastic skills are very impressive
She's such an exhausting POS. Glad we got to learn her extremely shitty value system along the way right?
"make tiktoks all day" was tooootally a dig at her daughter
100% I haven't looked up her daughter, but since she's a cosplayer she probably has a lot of friends (and possibly makes money) on that app. Also video editing is fun? You would think a person that does that all the time would understand that video editing can be fun. She does this so much I would hope she is having fun but I don't know if it's possible for someone like her.
lol, criticizing her daughter for “making tiktoks all day” when Diane herself has 3 RUclips channels and seems to spend a lot of time online.
Gee, it's such a mystery why none of her kids want anything to do with her.
23:32 Okay so her point about kids not feeling bad about leaving their parents because the government and their friends and chosen family will take care of them… 100% true in my case. I’m disabled and recently divorced my ab*sive husband. I’ve been homeless since the separation. Still living in a shelter. My SSI was approved after 3 years of fighting for it. Finally went no contact with my family of origin the same month. I was low-contact with my mom for 1.5 years because she would occasionally send me a bit of money (if I gave her a “good enough” reason, and if I was on “good behavior” beforehand, aka compliant & non-confrontational & non-needy). On top of my physical disabilities, I also have a traumatic brain injury and had an ischemic stroke in January of this year. My mom continued psychologically abusing me until our last conversation.
I would not have been able to go no-contact with her if not for being on SSI and receiving services through a homeless shelter. Plus the support of my community, friends, and strangers. I still have a long way to go but it’s easier now that I don’t have ongoing abuse to deal with.
Im getting really sick of people who had a better economy, better wages, cheaper food, cheaper rent, chaise gas, cheaper electric....whatever..telling us we don't wanna work.
We do. But we MORE for less money and everything is MORE expensive.
These people do not live in the real world.
Yeah, it's obvious that Diane is very well off from her home and long vacations. Must be nice.
Oh, but clearly the reason why we can't afford to buy houses and have kids is because we buy avocado toast and expensive coffees!
If you don't like what you get, then change what you give.
It's that simple. If you want your adult kids to spend time with you, be someone they want to spend time with! If every time I speak with you, I end up feeling like crap, I'm not going to want to give you my time anymore.
In her first video, Diane showed a lot of home movies in which her daughter is small. In one clip, the daughter is talking to the camera and Diane comes in with a tray and diverts the attention to herself and does not even know that she upset her daughter greatly. She is still doing that and there is the crux of the problem. I wish Diane could see this and maybe she would stop hurting and disregarding her daughter's feelings My daughter estranged me and I learned a lot about me and how to be better
i didn't even notice that, that's heartbreaking. I hope you and your daughter both end up in whatever situation is best for you both
@@Maximmmino Thank you, for these videos. II see her as often as she would like, respecting her boundaries for sure, and get to be grandma to my sweet grandson with another on the way ...no advice unless asked💙
Boomers left us Xrs as latch key kids to fend for ourselves. We never got the emotional intelligence necessary to comprehend the normalized family dysfunction, and we passed it on to our kids.
I wasn't able to recognize my role as family scapegoat until I was almost 50, and the abuse and disregard was as strong as ever. Once I understood that there was actually A NAME FOR THE DYSFUNCTION, and after a lifetime of trying to ignore the dysfunction in the name of love, I knew my only hope of peace and sanity was to step away from the dysfunction. The main difference with my situation is that, in 8 years, no one has ever bothered to ask me why, or what's wrong. It's essentially self-orphaning, but it feels more losing everyone and everything and there is definitely an entire mourning process. And it fucking HURTS that they can just "let you go".
8 years of mutual silence kind of solidifies the notion that they KNOW what's wrong. I saw a quote that resonates...
"I was my mother's scapegoat.
I morphed into my family's black sheep.
Eventually, I realized that the problem was not what kind of goat or sheep I was,
but rather, it was the sickness of the herd itself"

@@cpuffer7978 Thanks for the insights I have gained from your reflections from another black sheep. My mom was one of four sisters and two brothers and each had an oldest child that was the problem or. black sheep, me included ❤🩹
That golden age only ecisted for a privileged few. It was propaganda, and generational theory is a marketing tool, that tries to predict consumer behaviour. This theory doesn’t take into consideration life experience and personal circumstances, and tries to reduce people to stereotypes, who lack individuality.
‘Generational theory is the idea that there are generations has cycles that replace one another approximately every 15-25 years. The authors of this idea are historian William Strauss and writer Neil Howe. The essence of the theory lies in the fact that people born in a certain period of time are influenced by socio-cultural factors, important world events, and a particular stage of technological and economic development at that time. Because of this, they have similar values, principles, behaviours and even thinking patterns.
From a marketing perspective, generational theory can explain how clients’ values are shaped and what patterns of consumer behaviour they are inclined towards. This helps brands to segment customers and choose the right marketing strategy for the generation of their target audience.’
This is a pretty good article on how it’s a grift.

We don't have that "work together spirit" because we're not going to be able to Retire. Oh my god I can't stand her.
We can't retire because of systems voted in by people like her. Diane belongs to the political party of "**** you, I got mine". And then she has the audacity to turn around and say it's our fault, from her fancy home she bought for ⅒ of the cost it's worth today, living off a pension fund that *_we_* pay into (guess what Diane, that's you directly benefitting from socialism!) despite knowing that same fund will be gone by the time we reach retirement age.
Fun fact: these so-called "Turnings" are actually a pet theory of the odious Steve Bannon (currently in prison at time of writing). That's who she gets her inspiration from.
This reminds me of the video she deleted where she gave examples of celebrities with estranged children and listed out abusive ones like brad pitt ?? she's very dumb
It's so obvious she's hard right, which means she has *horrendous* values
Never met a bully who didn't think their victim just lacked a sense of humour or wasn't grossly exaggerating their discomfort and pain. This mother is the same. She may not do it intentionally, but she also assumes that because SHE was laughing, it must have been funny for everyone...
With Trump, what that generation doesn't get is that it's not just about leaning left or right. It's about him representing violence and inequality and suffering and discrimination - and your parents saying they like a man who makes the world painful for you.
She said in another video that she didn't believe that her daughter's reasons were good enough right before calling herself an empath. Very much a bully
@@Maximmmino Yeah, saw the originals, too. I am not sure I'd call her a narcissist, though, at least not in a medical sense. I truly think that she is in pain, and is constructing a narrative that gives meaning to that pain. And because she is a bully, she just does not get that what she sees as a "little thing" causing HER a lot of heartache could actually be a much much much bigger thing for her daughter (i.e. proportional to her own suffering).
I hope they have a way out of this, but.... It does feel like it might be too far gone, that now, if the daughter even gave her a chance, she'd use it as a proof of concept for her "having stuck it out" and "her daughter coming to her senses", and she would not be likely to learn much from it (except that next time round, she'd be double the martyr).
@@lifeandluggage well... none of us can because she isn't our client. And even if we were licensed therapists and she was our client we likely would not tell her she has NPD because then she would stop showing up and we need to fix her.
@@lifeandluggage”I don’t think she’s a narcissist” you say, as you describe the characteristics and behaviour of a narcissist 😂
Wow. She is really going to try to unleash the 'your behavior is going to lead to the end of American society, young lady!!!!" guilt trip. It's hilarious.
No, it´s a roundabout way of saying "I hate that today victims can educate themselves, find social support and leave abusers without social and financial repercussions!" It´s the same rant that abusive spouses give.
Ughhhh she’s doing so much “teaching” about “proper families” for someone who has been divorced at least once by a husband and twice by her kids
9:42 "These are the only people alive...who remember the horror of deprivation, genocide..." Does this woman watch the news? Rwanda? Gaza? Hello?!?
No, I think she's complaining that she can't force her kids to feel 'obligated' if the government and found family/friends give them an escape route from her control.
Yeah no the "if u have other people u won't let me abuse u lol" arc is wild
Exactly. How dare they not be desperate and guilt ridden.
Yeah I believe that is a remnant of her generation. People like her believe that you're obligated to keep your family in your life, no matter what, because that's how it's been forever. She doesn't realize that we're not doing the obligation thing anymore. If you want your kid in your life, your job is to be a person your kid would want to have in their life.
@@CarrieNicole47 Ah....I think Diane and I are very close in age which makes me part of her generation. No, not really.
The messed up thing is depending on the state, she could be reposnsible for her parents care in their old age. I live in a filial liability state. I'm trying to prove my dad isn't my real dad so hard.
She left out the Jewish space lasers.
And saying America is more individualistic than it used to be (American rugged individualism anyone?) is stupid. Saying government is more corrupt (Tammany Hall, Watergate) is stupid. Saying people hate each other more and are more divided (Civil War, Jim Crow south) is stupid. She needs to read more than one book about history.
Anything to blame society and not themselves
People with narcissistic traits have trouble grasping perspectives that aren't they own. Of course she thinks everything is the WORST right now in her lifetime. She cannot wrap her mind around how bad things were in the past because she didn't experience it. It's not in her frame of reference.
@@IceFireofVoid Things are really bad in the world. It has nothing to do with why her daughter is estranged. Nothing to do with her own unhealthy behavior.
Not a former latchkey kid talking about how important healthy family dynamics are. Like girl you are SO close to the point
They're never gonna put it together
Occam’s razor says it’s Diane’s fault.
U might have broke Occam’s razor but I don’t really think u meant to :)
19:37 i was also 100% ready for her to say 'autism'
i feel like there's a solid chance she did and then cut it out in editing
So she got estranged because of the federal reserve???
The lincoln memorial took her kids from her
I love how she thinks she did something when really she just read a Wikipedia article lmao
she's really not great
30 mins of mental gymnastics to excuse being a bad mom instead of taking accountability for her actions. Total victim mindset will have ppl out here looking like Diane. Gross
It's interesting because usually what she says about social media is pretty much entirely stuff I agree with. Everything about the horrible algorithms based on negativity, people being extremely toxic, getting riled up, the anonymity making people feel comfortable in saying whatever horrible thing they want to others that they would never say in real life, addiction, entitlement, misinformation...
And then she just fully is part of all that as well. And she is completely unaware of it. She also doesn't seem to notice it's social media that makes her feel so entitled to keeping her kid in her life. Back before social media, it was normal for kids to grow up and just move away and the parents just wouldn't see them anymore or only very rarely on special occasions. If you go back a couple centuries, you could straight up move a town over and make a completely new identity because nobody would be able to contact you or even keep track of you. And then you got immigration stories. People would move to a new continent for a number of reasons. And those people were, in all likelihood, never seeing or hearing from their parents ever again. It's not an "estrangement epidemic". It's an epidemic of entitled parents thinking social media should give them access to their adult children forever.
I’m convinced that this whole channel thing she’s doing is just to one up her daughter who has an online presence. She’s trying to outdo her daughter. She doesn’t care about being estranged.
Good point.
I also speculate that the idea of her getting a following with support for 'her side' that her daughter might see is a rush for her.
She makes us Gen X people look bad.
Plus she cites a statistic that about a quarter of people are estranged from a family member but doesn’t have any information whether that’s better or worse than in the past. She just decides she’s part of a trend and a historical structure. Because it can’t be anything SHE did.
@@stebu178 she's a massive citer of statistics without any significance as long as it makes her sound good
I'm Gen-X and I am estranged from my family. This isn't about being from different generations, but the inability to continue with relationships that create chaos, trauma and pain. Often after decades of trying to get parents to respect the personal boundaries their children are entitled to. Diane needs to accept that though she does not accept her daughter's reality, her daughter's experience of her is so negative that she needed to do a cut off. Diane is so self focused that everything is about how *she* can feel better. Not how she can grow and understand what was boundary violating for her daughter. If she could do that, perhaps her daughter would decide to reconnect at some point. Then she could work on rebuilding trust.
Unfortunately, instead she's chosen to twist herself into a pretzel trying to sociologically/anthropologically defend and justify her behavior and distance herself from personal accountability. I mean, she can't be responsible because sociology. Or societal problems. She may be more intellectual than my father, but she's just as incapable of ever admitting mistakes and instead projects them onto someone or something else. Her inability to accept that her child is a separate human being and accept them for themselves. That she cannot even see her bigotry is a dealbreaker b/c it inherently does not accept people for who they are. She should be in therapy, not lecturing people on a topic she does not understand.
@@gracieb.3054 I agree with you. Her saying the problem exists because she is just some typical Gen X person caught up in some historical thing makes us look bad. But she will use anything to avoid accountability.
@@Maximmmino lies, damned lies, and statistics
Damn!!
I almost thought she was going to say capitalism was the root of "our problem" - but nope - she talks about diminished trust in our society has to do with not trusting the govt bc we can't afford stuff ???
Ummm, how about we can't trust the parents who gaslit us when they acted one way in public but in private they acted differently.
Her grift is so blatant. It's not your fault and if you join my paid platform you can talk to other parents who also did nothing wrong
Yeah like communism hasn't been an issue in America (save for McCarthy). Capitalism has been ruining my life since birth...
OK, I am Gen X. She is expecting younger generations to conform to the older generations and to sweep everything under the rug. It doesn't work that way. Let the younger generations find their own way that works for them. We did that when we were young. Did she forget that? Did she forget our Gen X apathy and lack of engagement? The older generations hated us!
I am NC from my Boomer mother due to physical and emotional abuse as a child into adulthood. The final straw was her obsession with talking about Trump, non fucking stop. She made family gatherings and holidays anxiety-inducing. Now she smears me to her "church friends" and remaining family who still talk to her.
Yes. My husband and I call the boomers the "Let's just sweep it under the rug" generation.
I know I'm late to this party, but I've watched a number of Diane's videos, and am really appalled. I'm a Gen-Xer too, and I went low contact with my mom and I practiced grey rock (even though I didn't know it was called that at the time). Going no contact is not a new phenomenon, but one thing that has changed is technology: phones, internet, social media. It is almost impossible to get away from someone now, but in the past (if you had the means), you could move away, with no address or phone number, and people wouldn't be able to find you. I know people who moved to the other side of the country or just out of town and sent a card at Christmas.
Obviously, going no contact is probably more common (like people understanding they are trans or gay or bi) because there is more information out there for these people and you can find groups on the internet and so on.
On another topic: Diane is so far down the right wing rabbit hole, it's not funny. So much of what she talks about is not new. And her understanding of the generations is ridiculous. I'm a college professor and I've taught from Gen X and millennials to now Gen Z. There is so much more in common across generations than there is different. It's true, values have shifted a little, but I think in a good way: caring about our life (and not just work/the economy) and our mental health. These are improvements.
Sorry for the Ted Talk.😉
My mom (also gen X) hasn't spoken to her mother in thirty years, it's *definitely* not a new thing lmao
@@deadgirlwalking4354 right, my 40-year-old coworker (who is a good mom) said her grandparents were "pieces of shit" and didn't talk to them because of their abusing her mom, it's never been new, it's just more known because of the internet
Diane has a background in video producing and she is loving all this staged smiling and fake patience for the views.
She is rage baiting us all.
Oh, I don't think a narcissist like herself is self aware enough to do that. She really believes the lies (faux anthropology) she's telling herself.
Us watching the videos where she can’t get the views or control the narrative must be making her rage~
That explains why it feels so corperate 😂
Wait what does all this history lesson have to do with her being estranged? Lol
Irronically ahead is perfectly displaying what happens when you “wound” ie call out a narcissist. She’s going full trump level narcissistic pettiness
she's doing so many mental gymnastics to get around the fact that her kids probably hate her because she didn't do basic things for them and was nasty to them and not loving. Or violated social norms to the extent that it was traumatic for her kids. Or didn't shield them from abuse from her partner. It had to be something. Kids just want a normal mom. I want to hear from the kids about what happened.
She has an entire other video dedicated to how you can go above and beyond for your kids by feeding them, clothing them, and housing them and they still might estrange /:
(she really does a bad job of trying to win anyone over)
Those statistics she shoots off remind me of statistics parents shoot off to make their children feel inadequate.
lies, damned lies, and statistics.
34:00 Her mask slips and her true wrathful personality comes out for just a moment. Remember, this is Diane on her best behavior. Her channel is meticulously curated to frame her in the best possible light, with the explicit intent of manipulating the public into siding against her children.
...Can you imagine how terrifying she must have behind closed doors? My god, the things those poor kids have been subjected to. Diane is like my mom's id, she's everything my mom wishes she could openly say but doesn't because she wants to pretend to be a good person.
She says that gen alpha is motivated towards collective action but also that they are hyper individual... ma'm the math aint mathin
0:10 wait. How are 29% of people reporting being estranged, but 27% have cut someone off? The number of estrangement should be at least double the number of people cut off, right?
Either a huge number of people don't know they're estranged/don't anonymously report as being estranged, or a ton of people are cutting each other off.
Or, perhaps the people who cut someone off aren't considered estranged for this study?
so much projection ... speaks volumes
I’m Gen X, over 35, and I don’t think this lady is very nice.
It wasn’t my actions, it was the “turning of the socio-political tides, a cycle we’re unable to escape”. That’s why my kids don’t talk to me lol
i'm gen x, my partner's a millenial & my kid's gen z - *all* of us think dianne's a narcissist 🤣 i'm estranged from most of my relatives, my parntner & kid are estranged from their dads - because they're all selfish & self absorbed people like dianne 🤔 the three of us are incredibly loyal to those we care about & though we have similar values (relatively "left leaning" though none of us are "highly educated" partly as not feasible financially) we're also able to respect our differences 🤷
kids did not ask to be born so do not owe their parents *anything* - *ideally* grandparents help with grandkids so parents are more "productive" to take care of their parents & kids but *no one* should stay in unhealthy relationships! i stayed in contact with my parents far too long partly as i worried about the example i'd set for my kid but my partner helped me feel more confident that how i treat my kid's more important & they've been proven right despite not having their own kids
those of us who aren't as selfish & self absorbed as dianne can actually try to put ourselves in others' shoes to understand where they're coming from, even if we haven't lived long enough to climb the mountain or whatever the bs attempt to sound like she's enlightened instead of just deflecting was 🙄 it's always so cathartic & validating to watch others respond to her bs so thank you!
I'm glad you were able to get out of there and set that example for your children
My dad told my granny if he let my poppy treat his kids like he was treated as kid she would never see us again. Given that my poppy "only" said things wishing me harm/death/permanent illness and we were able to see them all the time as a kid I can assume that my dad's childhood included more beatings. My granny was NOT going to not see her grandkids so she whipped my poppy into shape. I still didn't turn out good enough for any of them to still talk to me (I'm only really upset about my granny). I rarely saw the grandparents on my mom's side of the family (they disowned me a longer time ago). You set the right example for your kids by showing them no one deserves abuse. You sound decent enough that I don't think your kids will become estranged from you. Regardless, you set the right example and no one deserves to be abused, including you.
@itwasmedionysus sounds like *they* didn't turn out good enough to be able to still talk to you whatever differences you may have. imo 💚 i'm sorry about your granny & hope you've been able to create a chosen family that honors you as you always deserved!
thanks for your comment, it's funny google reminded me recently was the 20th anniversary of leaving my kid's sperm donor so i went through our old texts 🤯 will always feel bad for cursing my kid w/a dianne like parent but am grateful i at least i was able to always put our kid's best interest 1st
even when i was lc vs nc with my relatives i kept 95% of their contact long distance, mostly via phone calls on speaker so could intervene when needed 😉 i'm lucky my kid's turned out really great & they share a lot in common with my partner which is really nice

I don't read it as only people feel more free to tell parents they were bad parents for the reasons you mentioned. I also think she is saying people have options now. They don't have to stay in abusive situations, like how divorce increased because women could open bank accounts, so we should take away that right to maintain the traditional family.
I wonder where Diane got her degree in Economics?
Just checked it's from trump university
If part of her thesis is based on Strauss and Howe's theories then it's already on shaky ground. Their work is and has been highly contested by historians and sociologists. They essentially came up with this idea of "turnings" which the generations would respond to differently, then looked for events to support it. So, cherry picking basically. One of the main criticisms against their work is that they oversimplify history and overlook the fact that a generation of people is not a monolith who all think and behave the same.
I imagine this woman likes their ideas because it allows her to excuse herself by chalking up her daughter's legitimate complaints to mere generational differences. Gross.
ETA: the idea that baby boomers grew up in optimism and prosperity in "two parent households " is a great example of the oversimplification of history that Strauss and Howe engage in. Because that was only true for white people, and even then only middle class and above. Characterizing an entire generation by what only relatively few of them enjoyed is not the way to conduct historical study, in case that's not obvious.
That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if this woman was deluded enough to believe that the 1950's were actually a golden age for black people in America, so...
woman who cherry picked one reason her daughter gave from a thirty page list of reasons for no contact cherry picks argument that makes her sound right /: the worst part is that they'll never have to realize they're wrong
Not even close to an epidemic
they just wanna make their problems sound important
I don't know why your video popped up for me, but now I can't stop watching them and this looney toons lady. I'm a Gen X-er. We don't claim her.
I'll admit that the majority of us were raised feral. Most of us got spanked/beaten, yelled at and at the same time forgotten about by our boomer parents. But it's not an excuse to be a shit parent. My suspicion is that a lot of these parents with estranged children are VERY religious and have very strict homes, allowing zero tolerance for differences while also expecting complete obedience. That happened in my house and in my cousin's homes. It led to many of us leaving home at young ages and having little to no contact with my parents until they changed. Me and my 4 siblings broke my parents down. They finally "tolerate" our behavior for the sake of having a relationship. This lady will not bend. She even admitted that she would not apologize for her part in the estrangement.
As a mom, I want to hug her daughter. It makes me so sad to read so many of these stories. I'm also sorry you had shit parents. Truly. Nobody deserves that.
That's the biggest problem with this parent and parents that has a similar views of how they should handle their children, where group cohesion is honored instead of encouraging them to develop their personality. Group cohesion in most cases goes hand in hand with a cult like environment. She is not a parent, she is a cult leader and because her grasp is weakened more and more and she is mad...
She thinks "wokism" is the thing that made the daughter cut off her mother but in reality it was probably the intolerant environment at home that made her daughter go no contact
27:33 Root cause my daughter wont talk to me? US Government. Mmmhmm. You "don't do politics" but we see it all over you.
This woman will attempt to craft a hollow thesis using a curious mix of questionable historians, her own hyperbolic generalizations, and fear-mongering rather than face the reality that she made mistakes as a parent. Also, authoritarians don’t ‘coddle’ their citizens, they control them. Wow, just wow. Holidays with her… must be a delight.
If this woman put as much effort into trying to get some serious counseling and/or psychological therapy, in order to try and take an HONEST and GENUINE look at her own issues, character flaws and even mental health issues, as she does making these narcissistic, self-serving, disingenuous and financially profitable social media videos.....
Then *just maybe,* she'd learn how to take a good look in the mirror, understand how important "self-awareness" and "personal accountability"is. She may even begin to understand how to empathize with her daughter, and finally get on the pathway to healing their very broken relationship.
Unfortunately, though, there's very little evidence that people with cluster B type personality disorders, in her case (and in my humble opinion) Narcissistic Personality Disorder, can be "cured".
Too bad she didn't put this much effort into reconciling with her daughter as she has with this bullshit "presentation"
I’m an older millennial married to a genXer. She’s not helping gen X’s image is she? 😅 No regrets for the no-contact and low-contact decisions we’ve made to escape abusive boomer relatives. We are both doing our absolute best to break the cycle and protect our child. I’m so triggered by Diane. There’s literally nothing behind her eyes. Eesh.
16:00 Aaaaaand there it is. Imagine blaming the left for her kids cutting ties with her. 🤦🏻♀️ Know who else wanted to stamp out people's independent thought and individual sense of identity? I'll give you three guesses, and the first two don't count.
listening to her is unreal #selforphan
Your role play comment made me laugh so loud!! 😂
That she is making this a generational issue is just another self-focused assumption. I'm in children of narcissistic mothers group and there are people of all ALL ages. In historic generations, dissenting kids in America got shipped to asylums for the rest of their life... in her generation they sent home enough extra meds for mom to get the kids to sleep too, and childrens doses weren't, by practice, recorded. I wonder if there might have been some emotional development missed en-mass by the boomers from unknowingly being raised on these medications in early years.
if my parents were american and i was born 50 years earlier, i 100% would've been lobotomized
Her hand movements
terrifying
Why is she yapping so much?
she's just here to validate herself /:
She's Diane Cohn. Older RUclips videos show her as a realtor. She's always marketing something, thus the yapping to get the sale, whatever is being sold. And those kind use whatever tricks they can.
@@boogaturk8363 Oh that makes so much sense considering she has a $20/month group chat
Think being Gen X would have give this mom a bigger clue thar what she was doing is 100% wrong
Wow, her psychological speculation about the adult children is bad though. She's way off at least about all the estranged parent-children situations I know of. Something's seriously wrong with a lot of these parents these days. What's causing this to happen?
bad people just being bad people. then it gets more specific from there
The "turnings" theory is extremely cherry picked. Some 'peaceful' periods have war and some 'war' periods have smaller conflicts than so called peaceful times. Also Steve Bannon loves this theory. You're in great company Diane.
Her calling world war 2 a global war is incredibly eurocentric. Diane probably wouldn't like to know that entire continents think she's an idiot.
I'm an anthropologist and the "bedrock of human society forever and ever" is so extremely misguided and an intentional misreading of the evidence.
She loves Johnny Harris. Not surprising.
"I'm not that political". "Alternative lifestyles" I'll grab the fire blanket for your pants on fire.
My economic anthropology professor feels a part of her soul dying and doesn't know why.
Kemp is the governor of Georgia. It's wild that he's considered deep state or whatever 'cause he's the deranged walnut that said he was gonna round up illegals with his pick-up truck and shotgun. He said he was voting for Harris this election. Nuts.
Brad Raffensperger is the secretary of state who Trump called to find more votes.
Just commenting in the middle of the video, because the way she talks makes me so mad and I need the break.
I'm not surprised that she thinks individualism is the bane of society. She doesn't come off as a person, who can handle people havin oppinions and needs that don't align with hers.
For 'the liberals', it isn't an us vs. them problem. They just want everyone to be able to live their own private lives the way that makes them happy. She and people like her then turn that into a problem, becausse they can for the life of them not respect those who are different from them and just leave them be.
Just like she can't leave her daughter be, which is probably why they are nc now.
And if she was so against individualism, why doesn't she just pick a random stranger who aligns more with her worldviews and simply replaces her daughter with them? Maaaybe, because her daughter is irreplacable, because she is an individuum? Shock!
Edit: I can't believe she got far worse after her anti-individualism point. I can't!
Also!
I hate, hate, hate her quirky little 2015 YT sound effects!
This idea of generational changes completly ignores generational trauma. It's not that strong men create good times which creates weak men. Oftentimes those "strong men" are traumatized individuals who had to use maladaptive coping mechanisms in order to survive. They start the rebuilding process but they're simply unable to finish. They don't have the time nor resources to achieve it. Only the second or third generation can more or less safely deal with it
In the past it meant going to war or something. Today we all have depression
Besides if you believe in the cycle then gen X were the "weak men" who created bad times for millenials and gen Z
Her videos remind me of Prager U
Didnt expect u to sound whiny😂
It sounds like she just reworded a Wikipedia article so she can try to sound like an expert and condescend to younger people.
She will blame anything and everyone who isn't her. Pathetic.
I'm a mom of 4 adult kidos and not estranged from any of my kids, but my husband is estranged from his parent's. I don't get why parent's can't see the kids go through their own lives and parent's are not perfect... accountability is key ❤
80% of this video is Boomer “We Didn’t Start the Fire”
So what about banks that can loan money they don’t have so they can make profit out of thin air.
It’s frustrating my mother had a better childhood than I did and what absolute makes me so mad is that I remember my mother telling me as I was growing up that my grandmother never hit her or yelled at her though even in 1956 when my mother was born, my grandmother was a single mother as a widow so she did have to work a lot to support my mother and my uncle. But yet my mother beat the living daylights out of me damn near every day, and the mental and emotional abuse i was actually worse because I undermined my value. My grandmother never did any of that to my mother or my uncle!
All off my Gen X parents are Awsome. We looked at our parents and wanted to do better. I grew up thinking we’d die from The Bomb….But I’m so inspired by Millennials and all the younger generations now. ❤
Diane is right about the money and the Federal Reserve, though…
I don’t like to use the word hate, but…..jfk
And this mom is toxic! I bet she has a notebook and it's full of her opinions weather true or false 🤦♀️
I hadn't seen this vid before and made the mistake of watching your react to it just after breakfast. I feel horrible. 🤢
In freshman level sociology class, we learned that there is a difference between how individuals and populations can influence big societal change. Wherein, the individual alone cannot make that change for the population. Only when populations band together does the potential for change arise. She's viewing her INDIVIDUAL relationship with her daughter as societies problem to fix, which does not even mesh in terms of sociological thought. Btw, sociological thought here is obviously not the correct response on her part, but shes bringing it up so...Not to mention shes claiming that society is to blame for her daughters individual choice to leave. Good god I am never going to understand the insanity behind Diane. Wishing the best for her daughter, she did everything right in my book.
As a fellow Gen Xer we dont claim her 🤘
U have no idea.. u need 2 stop
