Boomer Hate Thread

[Negev]

every time i hear one of these fucking people complain about "these kids are so addicted to instant gratification" like they havent been doomscrolling facebook for the last fifteen years of their lives it makes me want to keel over and die

I noticed that my uncle will now just listen to these shitty fake AI narrated stories all day every day on facebook, I have no idea how AI so easily breaks their minds even when they know what it is and that it makes fake things.

A boomer guy at work I was friends with would occasionally try to show me some normie conservative stuff, or some classic rock song he liked. He would pull up the youtube app and i'd have to sit there and watch four or five of the stupidest fucking ads you could imagine before each song. If it was some daily wire dude doing a rant or whatever there would be an ad every few minutes.

I finally asked him why he didn't use ad-block. He didn't know what that was. I explained he could just use the brave browser and it would block all of the ads on youtube and every website.

He got mad and went on a rant, accusing me of being a thief, because ads are how "they make money so your stealing from people you watch when you do that" and then said that's why i'm "so fucking weird and don't know about the latest products cause you don't watch ads. If you don't watch ads you don't know what's going on in society". I mean he really freaked out over it.

My friends boomer mother, a millionaire btw, said she wasn't going to get her daughter anything for her baby shower because she was uncomfortable with all the "boob stuff" on the registry. Like the breast feeding pumps. What even are these people

It's the sunk costs fallacy for people who never used ad-blockers. They are forced to cope about how all that time wasted watching mixed race couple adds was actually a good thing. So they rationalize it by saying that it is good for the economy and that it keeps the consumer up to date on current happenings; just like (paid) newspapers.

The second axiom of the Grand Unified Theory of Boomers: all boomer behavior must be permitted. In the Boomer mind all life is a game and as long as you are following the rules to the game you are okay. Doesn't matter if the rules changed yesterday or if what is permitted by the rules is destructive to society, if you are following the rules you have done nothing wrong.
You appeared to not be following the rules and thus outed yourself as bad.

Imagine walking into a business and declaring that you will not leave until you talk to the owner and get a job.

Did that even work in the past? From my undeveloped non-Boomer perspective you would come off as a crazy retard that would be a terrible employee.

 

[Taser Confetti]

But the majority of Boomers voted for Trump in all 3 elections who ran on an anti immigration campaign that the media portrayed as White nationalist and nativist.

Almost none of the MIGA boomers are racist. They inhale constant copium like Bane's mask that niggers are only shitty because of rap music and welfare. Half the boomers locked up for J6 probably have niglet grandchildren.

They like Trump because he makes the libtarded White people Ben Shapiro used to make fun of on campus angry. Their support for him is almost entirely about "owning the libs".

Boomers think this is about some sort of ritual of respect and confidence but really it's because there wasn't retarded online forms to fill and HR departments and most areas had no other way but to hire locally available fart sniffers so the first one that showed up was just as good as any. The rest is just classic nepotism, through family or the small town way you sometimes have socialized with someone who can get you a job at their business.

Boomers mindlessly repeat slogans because they think that is why it worked for them. But they don't actually understand why.

This is also to say nothing of how they didn't compete with the third world for positions as a fucking cashier.

It didn't this is on par of boomers posting those scary badass skeleton memes on facebook. Just them masturbating to how tough they think they would be in some imaginary scenario.

The reality is some greatest/silent generation manager decided to give some kid a chance because they were young and just starting out in life, and boomers decided actually my stunning confidence and firm handshake were just that amazing.

"If it was a scam they wouldn't be allowed to do it!"
This is one of the most rage inducing features of Boomer brain. It's why they slovenly believed every bit of crap the TV man told them over the decades and why they also believe that if TV man *didn't* tell them about it, then it didn't happen.

This is a thing that isn't entirely limited to boomers as I know a number of millenials and gen-x'ers I know longer have much to do with spout this logic anytime their worldview is questioned, especially during covid and hilariously during any political marches that re-enforce existing government dogma.
I've come very close to smacking more than one of the idiots for smugly telling me that if it's not on television or in the mainstream media it simply does not exist.

Australian Boomers discuss housing crisis.

Because like in everything else they are entirely delusional about the reality and objective cause of the issue and just continue to make things worse.

I once had a Healthcare person put it this way. Paraphrasing: "I've had heaps of Millennials and Gen Z come in here that have already experienced some sort of medical emergency and had to adjust to that accordingly, while all the elderly folk seem to have never once thought about their own mortality until the very moment they die"

Can relate. Death also tends to be driven home as a realistic premise when your class makes don't all make the age of 12 less the age of 25 or even 30. I'm confused as to why this isn't something boomers grasped. At all.

Boomers mindlessly repeat slogans because they think that is why it worked for them. But they don't actually understand why.

Again this isn't just a boomer thing - I've seen this behaviour exhibited by the millennial dipshits I mentioned earlier who would whine about rising property prices/rents and shitty wages, all the while openly advocating for open borders and 'no human is illegal' and 'we'll live in a utopia if everyone is a minority'.

I swear to god the children of wealth and privileged (i.e. rich parents who bailed their stupid asses out) are just as delusional as boomers. Oxygen wasting morons the lot of them.

No, you don't understand. Boomers believe if something "worked" for them, then they legit do not compute why it wouldn't work for other people and fail to realize how changing times might inform why their advice is useless. They were lucky enough to find a job easy in times where their dollar went comparatively further for a variety of reasons, they don't actually understand the mechanics of this (post war boom, still lots of native industry left, immigration both legal and illegal wasn't as much of an issue, most areas very (if not completely) homogenous, etc.). From their perspective "just shake the manager's hand" works because of what it is on its face and not because they had none of the obstacles many from younger generations do. They do not see behind the curtain.

Unironically on a society level they ARE like people who have rich parents that make everything happen for them in that they don't realize their "success" is just the luck of their circumstances. They do not realize how hard it might be for others or how they live and other people are just "dumb" for not being smart enough to "make it work".

And instead of doing what a lot of old people are supposed to do and acknowledging changing times and that they no longer have their finger on the pulse of what young people these days are facing, they stubbornly believe they're always right.

They stubbornly believe they're always right, that's why they double down about Putin and Donald Trump or Tucker or Nick or whoever else the Two Minutes Hate on the TV told them to be against that day. Can't afford a house and don't like the state of the world? But Muh Hitler though.

Speaking of housing, here is Trump himself on it - he won't do anything about helping get young people housing because it'll make Boomers cry because the value of their luxury houses will go down:

You're such a fucking weirdo, how you gonna know what products to consume if you don't watch the ads?! Fricking lunatic.

You're correct and I'm reminded of a video I think I may have seen here where some guy points out that boomers are in many ways the product of being raised by a generation who saw some fucked up shit, built a better world of comfort and ease and scared the shit out of their children with tales of horror based on their lives.

Boomers being who they are - took none of the wider messaging on board and just assumed that the horror stories their parents told them were applicable to the world they inherited and then of course fucked it all up. To this day they refuse to learn anything.

Agree. I think of all the theories on why boomers are the way they are - lead poisoning, formula fed, the TV, the vietnam war- this explains them the best.

They are princes in a castle that were told that castle is about to be starved out and bombed every day in their youth. That's why they hold on to their wealth like Scrooge, deny their own mortality, have no ability to empathize (forever frantic), and are generally quite unlikeable (no one likes a paranoid uppity control freak.) Now they are old and dying, the castle was never ransacked, and they never had the self reflection to realize the way they lived was fucking insane, selfish, and maniacal.

some of them unironically think it’s that easy and are given a reality check when they realize most jobs require internet applications and often ghost you anyway, in some respective I get why they don’t comprehend this as back in the 50s any decent teenager who didn’t look like a slob could walk in and likely land a job at a supermarket and don’t understand the whole economics of the situation with Millennials and Gen Z, my parents are early Gen Xers who grew up (relatively) lower class and don’t particularly like online applications either and it’s entirely understandable but Boomers i’ve noticed have a certain delusion where they they don’t understand how job openings work and think the system doesn’t need to be fixed

 

[Starscream's Loyalty]

Discovered Grandpa Megatron (Mama Starscream's dad) got an IPhone and was facetiming with Brother Starscream. Who the fuck taught him that? He lives alone in a cabin. He's either letting someone chill there or the cut-off relatives of the extended family visit alot more often than I thought. But that's not even my biggest question: WITH WHAT MONEY YOU OLD FUCK? You spent a good chunk on a ranch truck you don't need. YOU DON'T DO WORK YOU DON'T LIVE ON A FARM. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TRYING TO DO??

Hopefully he follows Grandma Starscream to Heaven or Hell. Dosen't matter which place any of them are at. I will breath a sigh of relief for both of them when these last 3 boomers kick the bucket. Mama Starscream wants to leave the funerals up to the states. She busted her ass trying to care for her parents and there's probably not gonna be any fucking money for her cuz my youngest uncle will come in like a vulture to try and take the corpse that is the boomer bank account.

FUCK how come the boomers got the Silent Generation and we get stuck with their degenerate hedonistic grandkids? At least most of the Silent ones coped via alcohol. Not giving their kids a heavy death debt.

I don't think it did TBH, there were just so many jobs available that it was very easy to get one.

I'm an oldfag so my parents are boomers. My mum told me that there used to be so many jobs available that people could quit or lose a job and have a new one within a couple of days, full time and with no qualifications required. This stopped being a thing in the mid-late 70s.

 

[Negev]

Went to go check out some guns today and some boomer was there picking up an order and it was a gold and silver engraved 1911 and apparently this guy spent 3 grand on it and when his friend asked when he was going to shoot it he said "Oh I'm not shooting it that would hurt the value!" it wasn't even an antique or anything.
