Boomer Hate Thread

[regalterry]

Greatest and Silents were just as exposed to leaded gasoline

Everyone loves to (justifiably) shit on boomers, but their parents and grandparents also share a lot of the blame. They were the ones that voted into power most of the damaging legislature now crushing North America and Europe.

Boomers were simply too young to vote for any of it.

Knocking on doors or leaving flyers to shovel snow and wash windows are the sorts of things a 12 year old should be doing to make pocket money and learn how it all works

It's also a market completely saturated by illegal migrants.

They didn’t vote for them - they just didn’t fight against them hard enough.

Boomers ate up every piece of globalist propaganda fed to them and greedily oinked for more.

Most boomers weren't old enough to vote for desegregation or the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.

No generation of the public was able to vote on that. It was enforced by gunpoint while most of our fighting age White men were dying in Vietnam.

I think about this a lot. It’s my current opinion that age exposes the real damage done by lead poisoning.

I went on a kick talking to old people a while ago. I mean like OLD old, pre Boomer old people, seeking them out and talking to them. What shocked me was how much sharper they were than boomers 20+ years younger.

This generation of olds is declining much more steeply and rapidly than previous olds. It’s alarming.

I wonder how I would have turned out if I'd been being exposed to leaded gasoline instead of endocrine disruptors, microplastics, and seed oils growing up.

Higher testosterone and aggression versus gut issues and chronic inflammation I presume.

I've noticed teenagers these days are built differently. Teens and young adult men are taller on average but have narrower shoulders, weaker jaws, and less masculine facial features.

You'll also see this with older gen x people as well, they had a lot of the same lead exposure the boomers had, my mother declined rapidly after she hit 50.

He did not have it on him, and he cursed me out as the woman he was with (I guess his wife) tried to quietly calm him down and explain it's likely nationwide policy, she paid for what they needed and apologized to me on behalf of him before they both left.

Like I'm just a cog in the machine, I don't make the rules.

During covid, my mom was insufferable about this. I love them dearly and my dad is still a sharp workaholic so they avoid alot of the stereotype but fuuuuuuuck this one would drive me up the wall.

They got the vax even though my mom was hard into the Q shit and convinced that it was all NWO poison that caused my dad cancer (he beat it in the end) but still got it because "well your father got it since work required it so I figured I would get it to" and when I told them I was likely going to quit my job if they forced the vax on me it was "no! if your job tells you to do it, you do it! the most important thing is to do what your job says to do".

But if some low level wage slave at the entrance tells you that you need a mask to enter the store as per their training then prepare for holy hell about muh rights and how dare you tell me what to do.

There's definitely a boomer mentality that low level jobs (waiter, cashier, greeter, etc) are just slaves that get a paycheck and its your social contract to be allow to abuse them.

Fun little video. Boomers are mentally stuck in the 1960's. To them, Britain is still 90%+ white, history began with WW2, and time stands still eternally.

So I went to Church today, they had a semi-retired travelling boomer pastor for today and his granddaughter who was a regular member of the church until this fall when she first started going to college had enough time to drive all the way to attend this Sunday's service. It was an alright service and got to see some friends I haven't seen in a while. So afterwards the semi-retired pastor invites me to lunch with his family at a pizzeria. So I go and we all had nice conversation so far then he turns and talks to his granddaughter about how college is going and it goes well for a time until he says something along the lines of "you better get a good paying job soon to pay for my social security". And I'm like he's very lucky that he is a pastor and had the rest of his family with him or else I would have said something very nasty towards him. I'm sick and tired of the gall and absolute never ending self centered entitlement of boomers who had the easiest time of any generation in america and demand everything without care about the problems of their grandkids are facing.

"you better get a good paying job soon to pay for my social security"

I wish we could get an emergency vote on the big three welfare programs. No one over the age of 55 is permitted to vote. The choices follow:

• Immediately abolish Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, use all recovered funds to pay down the national debt, and immediately cease all payroll taxes
• Gradually abolish Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid while reducing the payout size and payroll taxes over time
• Retain Social Security but immediately abolish Medicare and Medicaid, returning recovered funds to support social security
• Logan's run on boomers.

Myself, I'm down to kill medicare and medicaid while keeping social security. Starving the elderly to death creates lots of social problems that letting them expire "young" to obesity and heart disease doesn't. Imagine how short the lines at medical offices will be without infinite welfare patients shitting it up.

Boomer religion is absolutely fascinating.

Heaven exists so who gives a fuck about the welfare of the next generation. Its the mindset that some late-antiquity Roman monk would have but far more perverse.

Nevermind them kickstarting the explosive rise of prosperity gospel - God loves the rich and the richer you are the holier you are. He gives money to those who *don't* want money.

 

[Smoltine Kiminal]

God loves the rich and the richer you are the holier you are

thats the polar opposite of what jesus preached
american churches are fucking wild
the only "christians" on earth who love jews and gift them the tip of their cocks too

It is the fastest growing branch of Christianity so it is probably the future of the religion.

I had the pleasure of knowing two silent gen relatives until they both passed in 2024. One was 91 and coherent until the end, the other 97 and had been coherent until dementia set in around 93. When they were both alive and of sound mind, it was remarkable how one could have complex and insightful conversations with either.

I know various boomers still alive in their 70s who were/are significantly less capable of articulate and intelligent conversation. I agree that it does seem to be a generational thing re: poor aging for boomers.

Whether said poor boomer aging was caused by environment/lifestyle factors is something I think about a lot. Both of the aforementioned silent-gen relatives were born and raised on a farm during the great depression, hence most of what they ate was natural and local, and it was an environment where even women stayed fit with physical labor. The boomers, by and large, had a much more coddled and "modern" upbringing.

I'm not really convinced of this. I have known boomers all my life, and barring dementia, the ones who are retarded now were retarded all along and the ones who have sage wisdom were always smart.

They were far worse in the late 90s - early 2000s. I recent years I've been shitting on them hard irl when I see em pull that and rage baiting them. No one's gonna trash talk the lady at the convenience store I get my smokes and drinks from every day.
On the upside I think society had been pushing back on that hard in the last decade. Even a lot of big corporate businesses/chains have shifted gears when it comes to the irate boomer menace. Guess the shareholders have decided that giving them whatever it is for free + gift certificates cuts a tiny slice off the cheese.
I love the super out of touch ones who still threaten with calling the Better Business Bureau. The one's that have figured out Yelp get crapped on a lot as well.

without care about the problems of their grandkids are facing.

That's why a lot of them have no contact kids. The last time I saw one particular boomer uncle of mine it blew my mind at the amount of self importance in that man. I inquired about his youngest son. He was the youngest out of my generation. I'm 8 years older than him so when he was coming of age I gave him a lot of that older cousin advice. You know kinda like his 2 older brothers did with me.
Anyways his only response was the last he heard he was slumming it around -insert major US city- then proceeded to bitch about how none of his sons talk to him nor let them see their children.
The funny part about that is he was the typical boomer that packed up his all of his son's belongings and left it all on the front porch after they turned 18.
Now he's just a fat alcoholic old man (was always an alchy) working on pissing off old wife #5 and blowing his cash on boats, trucks and motorcycles. All the while posting boomer memes on FB about having the coolest cars, best music and hottest women etc.
He'll die old and alone. Zero introspection or care for why no one wants anything to do with him.

it was remarkable how one could have complex and insightful conversations with either.

I was the last person my old silent gen great grandpa spoke to before he passed away. I sat there in his old farmhouse bullshitting with him for a good 2 hours while he was laying in bed and I'm chilling in a rocking chair. He was still a sharp old man and was out earlier that day walking around his property inspecting the fence line. He passed away in his sleep after he said I'll see you in the morning and I shut the lights out and left the room.
My great grandma passed away here recently and before that I went to visit her. She had declined mentally a good bit but remembered who I was and just lit up. We talked about a lot of stuff and she broke out some old black and white photos of her and g-gramps. Like when they were in their early 20s. Asked me if I recognized who that good looking man and woman was. Then informed me very matter of factly that was her and my g-grandpa. Then for shits and giggles I got her cussing about the Japanese by showing her really feminine J-Pop guys. She died hating them lol.

Even if they’d like to keep their home values high, many boomers don’t seem interested in paying the taxes that go with those lofty valuations. Roughly two-thirds of boomers (67%) believe senior homeowners should be exempt from paying property taxes, even if that means younger home buyers have to pay more.

Boomers are also going to be the biggest recipients of government funded medical assistance and social services (excluding even their pensions) in old age, so this is a big no for me.

They want us to pay for their healthcare, half of their social security, etc- while not working?

I'm sorry, but this is so laughable.

Even past this, whatever happened to living in a society? Even in old age, the greatest generation paid taxes on property (the greatest way of generating wealth currently for the average person) to fund schools, hospitals, park maintenance, road maintenance, etc. But- the boomers just want to peace the fuck out, after hoarding all the wealth, and to stop paying taxes on an increasing burdensome generations? I hope when they no longer have political power, people remember this to be honest.

You gunna use the roads boomer? Pay taxes, simple as. This is so laughable, and also so dumb.

Id honestly settle with keeping all three, but taxing the hell out of housing. If boomers created a situation where most of our economy is tapped into housing, and thats where most 'wealth' is generated- well, we need that to maintain society.

In my opinion, all this is fine and all- but should only be focused on once we actually fix the economy a bit, use tax money to facilitate more affordable housing, kick out non-permanent resident migrants, etc. These are all things the boomers want to prevent us from addressing (nimbys, but itll lower my property values, who will clean my piss bucket for peanuts and provide cheap massages, etc), but things that do not aid the younger generations. Fix that, and boomers can keep their medicaid, but in terms of priorities, boomers should be pretty much at the bottom of the totem pole. Any society that sacrifices its youth for its elderly does not deserve to survive.

"no! if your job tells you to do it, you do it! the most important thing is to do what your job says to do".

I fucking hate this job worship Boomers seem to have, and I'm not some anti-work faggot by a long shot. I came of age during the 2008 recession so nobody wanted to hire an inexperienced 18yo, but my Boomer grandparents were convinced I was just "lazy" and could easily get a job if I "really wanted to." My grandfather worked for some big construction company for 40 years and they even laid him off but I was berated for being lazy so much I literally had to get therapy because I internalized this BS my Boomer grandparents (whom I lived with) instilled in me.

A lot of boomers entered the job market at one of the luckiest times in the country for doing so. Post war boom and no heavy off shoring yet meant it was a lot easier to find a job, the housing market wasn't completely fucked, and schools hadn't learned how much they could grift out of people (largely because they weren't necessary for a lot of basic jobs). Getting a start in life and finding a job were a shit load easier back then.

Boomers do not know how good they had it and they stubbornly seem to think everyone exists in the same conditions they did and are just being malcontent for the lulz.

Old people's advice just isn't worth anything in a lot of ways sadly because what people have to deal with changes so rapidly for a variety of reasons, they're just stuck in their ways and checked out from what younger people have to deal with.
