Boomer Hate Thread

[Skookum Jim]

I know you didn't quote me specifically but I want to use your post to clear up some things I didn't clarify in my older post.

There is definitely far too much of the nu-male, leftist bitching and complaining in this thread, with predictable talking points:
"*Sigh*, if the boomers would have just unionized..."
"They had it so good, now we have nothing..."
"Fuck boomers for allowing the corporate elites to take everything!"

I wasn't trying to advocate for redistribution of wealth or communo-social-mommydomism or whatever the fuck retards try to sell it as these days, that wasn't my intention at all. I'm not mad at the boomers for being the ones who got to take advantage of the stability and economic prosperity they did, one can't blame people for being born in a certain year. I'm mad at them because they didn't pass the fruits of that prosperity down. Boomers are noted as one of the worst generations ever when it comes to debt to income ratio and saving in general, they were and are utterly incapable of saving. Meaning their children didn't get as many hard tangible benefits when they transitioned into the workforce and adulthood, because the boomer didn't have anything to give them.

The only thing that has truly gotten worse in our part of the world is the cultural and societal rot,

This is what I was getting at. I don't know if the circumstances are the same where you're from, but in America boomers are the harbingers, or heralds, or torchbearers of a really sick fucking mentality that disincentivizes having children, rearing a functional family, or doing anything that actually benefits society more than it benefits them, while paradoxically fully enjoying the products of those who were willing to chip in to help everyone (social security, federal medicare, cheap housing/college etc.)

Doubly so if autistic cunts like Greta Thunberg and her ilk gets into positions of power when they outgrow their diapers.

I wasn't trying to imply gen-z were going to be all sunshine and rainbows either, dear god we've all seen enough spergy tiktok garbage to know that gen-z is only going to wake up and smell the roses when some actually horrifically bad happens. your average zoomer is well aware something is wrong, but is simply numbing themselves with tiktok and the internet in general instead of trying to cobble something together. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps is a hollow truism when spouted by Boomers, but the solution to that hollowness is not to turn around and do absolutely nothing. I'm convinced nothing short of an actual economic meltdown is going to wake them up.

Swedish (I know, I know...) psychiatrist David Eberhard wrote a great book about how it is our inherent need for security and comfort which is really to blame for the current predicaments in society. The book isn't awfully well written unfortunately, and is quite repetitive, but from a societal viewpoint Eberhard really makes a great case for his arguments. I don't know if there's an english translation to the book, but I doubt it.

Fair and reasonable point, I won't disagree with you liking and recommending this book, but you've got to understand, I write from an American perspective. The benefits you enjoy brom living in a stable and economically healthy northern European democracy are things I have to pay for. When our baby boomers utterly failed to pay it forward in any meaningful way, and by virtue of there being so fucking many of them the little social safety net we do have is going to utterly collapse within my lifetime, you can see why I would write pseudo-poetry lamenting the fate of gen-z, we have more to lose than you do by their negligence as a generation.

I wonder what it was like when you could expect to be left anything like a nest egg or a home when your elders passed. Mine have spent every cent they've earned on nothing but their immediate satisfaction and they don't even own the shitty tinderbox of the house they have. GenX was no better than the boomers and 80's nostalgia can fuck off forever for all I care.

Oh, I also loathe whoever popularized open floor plan homes and whoever standardized homes made of plywood, drywall, and vinyl. I hope they're burning in hell.

Lol, the prospect of that level of inheritance is, for average+ (sub-upper-middle class proper) people, a quite recent thing. Carping about not being giving prezzies by your dead parents is at least a Silver in the Entitlement Olympics.

And if your parents are GenX (which seems suggested the way you worded your first paragraph, though not entirely clear), wtf are you worrying about their deaths and what you can scrounge from it anyway? Knock wood, they've got decades. Go make your own fortune.

It's not entitlement if you're expected to take care of them. Usually they just end up in a nursing home as Americans though

By nest egg I meant maybe ta couple thousand in the most. People act like the idea of expecting inheritance is pure greed. There was a death in family a few years ago and any inheritance went to taxes and hell through tmi bullshit. People live in such a manner now that nothing of value gets passed on anymore but hey you get handed a broken economy so stop crying! Bootstraps and all that. Fuck off. It's not as if everybody in the Boomer Hate Thread is sitting with their mouth open expecting everything handed to them.

I don't believe that's accurate though. I've inferred by how seriously emphasized the idea of having a male heir was going back all the way to the bible (so you had someone to pass your family property/trades/etc. on to), that actually inheritance has always been a very big deal and in fact faggot boomers are quite unique in believing otherwise.


I assume the issue is boomers were always coddled by a system which they grew to see as fair and just because it gave them what they wanted without much struggle.

They live in a spoiled narcissistic fantasy where their successes post WWII weren't in large part a consequence of what their parents had to go through and thus their own form of inheritance, but rather due to their innate greatness.
Therefore, because they "earned" it, they have a sense of contempt for anyone who doesn't.

I've had boomers genuinely encourage people to find things to piss all their money away on even if they don't enjoy it that much because "you can't take it with you"; like if they leave wealth behind it'll be in spite of themselves. They'll be god damned if any of that dirty no good FAMILY or COMMUNITY gets their hands on their money. Family is worthless unless they can prove themselves to the system, after all. Reject the self and the family, comrade.

I hear a lot of weirdos online complain about the jews, that's the thing they notably do differently that people should take a lesson from. They maintain generational and communal wealth.

Despite your claim, deliberately depriving your family of social/economic advantages actually isn't a historically sane or normal thing to do.

I wonder if society can get so wealthy that an entire society kills itself via inbreeding/ lack of children like some royal lines?

My Boomer mother used to say, "don't expect any inheritance - I'm spending it all!" and I'd never quite understand why she'd find that so funny when I was younger.

She finds the phrase, "be nice to your kids, they choose your nursing home" (accompanied by minions pictures) hilarious in a 'haha, that's so true' way, too.

Boomers, eh?

Lol y'all sound so entitled lmao.

Unpopular opinion; just because they gave birth to you doesn't mean they owe you their lives. Especially if you're an autistic basement dweller with no prospect of getting a job or a wife.

"Where's my inheritance mommy? Daddy?" Fuck off. You don't sound like you're the kind of people who would dedicate their lives to your offspring, so why do you expect your parents to do the same?

Apologies the tone doesn't come off well; it was more of a, "what are they like?" you know, a light hearted post. Crack a joke about how unaware they can be.

I'm not going to PL but you can't be further from the mark.

They're Boomers, why are you so angry about me poking fun at them and their foibles?

If it makes you feel better, I feel the same about my own generation and Zoomers. But this thread is about Boomers.

 

[Orange Rhymer]

This is an amazing thread. The hubris of youth on full display. Blissfully unaware that they will one day be judged the same way.
Not even mad. Felt a bit nostalgic tbh.

JUMPIN JESUS ON A POGO STICK

Could you at least SPOILER that post?!?!

Also: don't tell them about having deadbeat kids, aging, and later death.

Ageing is the worst.

Bet you could stay up a night and be awake the next afternoon, or drink a lot and not feel like shit in the morning, heck even doing 8h of physical labor had no toll on you the next morning. Until one day, when you feel it. And every day thereafter, and it gets worse and worse...

Social security, and it's it's consequences, have been a DISASTER for American society. Before FDR fucked everything up it was expected of you that you would take care of your grandparents after they retire, now with social security everyone just acts like it's not only a given that their grandparents get money from the government after retirement, but they are ENTITLED to that money after their grandparents die. People are fucking sick man, zoomers are literally just as MORE selfish and entitled than baby boomers they so loathe. Hell, even the "thinking in generations" phenomenon started with the fucking boomers. And the "summer of love"? DON'T EVEN GET ME FUCKING STARTED

Yeah sure it's fucked up to leave nothing for your kids, but it's also fucked up to pretend that you're just entitled to the wealth of your older family members who had to bleed, sweat, and cry for it. Enjoy what little time left you have with your grandparents, when they die you're not gonna think back and say "damn I'm so glad I pwned those fucking boomers on their death bed" and if you do, you're a piece of shit.

If you're gonna shit on the boomers for anything it should be:

• the civil rights movement/act (which broke up white urban neighborhoods and destroyed freedom of association)
• the hart celler immigration act (which lead us to the demographic nightmare we currently face)
• literally every gun control measure for the past 60 years
• the hippie movement (which popularized degenerate hedonism)
• second wave feminism/the sexual revolution (which took mothers out of the house and put children in the custody of the state. Also popularized divorce, pornography, and hypergamy)
• introducing the same SJW ideology bullshit to kids that they now complain about so much (IE: "these damn kids with their participation trophies" when they literally invented it)
• letting the government develop an expansive national security state that violates the rights of it's citizens to protect them from fake terrorist boogeymen

But even then it's not like all boomers supported these things, many were opposed to it at the time and many still are today, they just aren't loud about it because they don't want their demonic niggerloving zoomer grandchildren to put them through a struggle session for being "le ebil racist"

TL;DR ZOOMERS ARE FUCKING DEMONIC AND WORSE THAN THE BOOMERS THEY LOVE TO DECRY SO MUCH, FUCK ZOOMERS
