peace out
Spend their retirement calling the cafeteria staff at Luby’s racial slurs and saying trans kids and drag queens are evil.
Would have been nice if younger folks had voted in their own interests.
Why should they vote? No one is actually representing them.

Spend all of their own parents inheritance, leave nothing for their own kids, talk about how they had to work their way up from nothing.
I don’t blame old people, they lived the best of times, their lives were comfortable because they were in a boom. They had high hopes, had kids with a bright future in mind for them, but things change, some see it, others are oblivious to it.
It’s still fair to blame them. Old people blame young people for everything afterall.
My parents don’t, well not completely. They know the world be screwed up, but they also think there’s a degree of responsibility on my part too. We are all stuck in this shit show together, and old people thought they’d be dead long before it got really really bad, but Trump SA’d the money, and now we all get to suffer.
I’d keep friends and loved ones close.
it’s not “things change” all the current mess was created by them in the decades after the time period of the op tweet
A lot of the world’s problems are generally made by the greed of mankind in general.
I would still take my life over my mom’s. Things were not good for women back then.
Things can always backslide
Did she starve to death? Because that’s our current timeline
I wouldn’t call it peacing out, there’s quite a lot of not-peace for that
What I like about this is that it doesn’t pretend boomers are uniquely evil, just the generation that got lucky.
Except that’s not really the full truth either. The generation got lucky AND systemically burned every thing down so that they were the only ones left with all the benefits that luck provided.
Any other people would have done that. Boomers are no different than anyone before or since. It is 100% Random Chance and anyone who disagrees is a liability.
Speaking in absolutes not only makes you a sith, it makes you ignorant too.
It is important to understand why people are the way they are in order to prevent future repeats. In the case of Boomers, I don’t blame them 100% nor am I going to just chalk it up to just random chance.
If you look at the generation as a whole, the predominant qualities they have are entitlement, arrogance, narrow mindedness, and a deep lack of empathy. Those attributes are what lead them to do the things that they did with the benefits that the luck of their circumstances gave them. But where did those attributes come from? I believe again you have to blame the parents.
I believe that the root of the problems come from the Boomers’ parents. After the war, they were so happy to be alive and living in relative peace, that the popped out a bunch of kids and then showered them with all the benefits that the post-war prosperity brought while also not really paying that much attention to them (who has time to work and be fully involved in the lives of 5 kids?). What did that lead to? A generation that was spoiled and had no boundaries set, so they grew up to do a bunch of drugs, have a bunch of sex, and generally think that every thing is owed to them and everyone else is wrong because they are the best.
Boomers are spoiled children.
You’re so close to getting it lmao. It is indeed important to understand why people are the way they are, which is why anyone who misunderstands boomers—such as you—is a liability. Damn, y’all right wing dumbfucks are so close no matter how far.
Yet, you are so far from figuring out what is wrong with yourself or how you interact with others. For instance, I’m am about as left leaning as one can possibly be. Yet somehow you pegged me as right wing nut job. You convinced yourself that only you are right and therefore everyone is wrong and dumbfucks.
Arrogance breeds ignorance.
Arrogance breeds ignorance.
Something a bottom of the barrel worthless dumbfuck never understands about its superiors is that you are the catalyst for the reaction. I use Duck typing. That’s how decent folks type traitors like you.
I mean, sustainability would have raised all ships
Some people are taller, smarter or better looking than me. It’s not fair!!!
Some people are taller, smarter or better looking than me.
Yep. Quite a bit of people are all of these.
