I've bitched about boomers before, so I'll be short about this.

Their main problem was their complete lack of any civic responsibility. Boomers are running the nation now, has it ever been more corrupt than this?



That's the president's son. Sex drugs and rock'n roll, right boomers?

Generation X is the next silent generation.

Boomers gave a shit about what people thought about them, they always did. The Civil Rights movement was only made possible because Boomers felt compelled even then to Virtue Signal, and thrust large swaths of Black voters into Republican strongholds.

Gen-X don't give two fucks about your feelings, when it comes to people not minding their own business and the doing the right thing.
The Millennials will be the fall guys when the Boomers are all dead and gone, and their inheritance money is squandered and pissed away.
They wont be able to Go Fund political agendas.

Also when it comes to Wokesters demanding you submit to their will. I'm finding the climate much different than in 2016 to 2020.
It's only Woikesters that try to push back against a truth bomb, red pill rant from a Patriot in Public. Folks White, Black or Spanish, that have a cushy job and have been brain fucked by the ADP and the Corporate HR policy to get in people's faces Nancy Pelosi style and make a scene and a crowd. Only the other people who are feeling the reality of their nonsense, look at me like they wanted/needed to hear someone else say, what they have been suspecting all along. And the push back from the Commie fatcats with their cushy no show Government and Corporate jobs, aim to see fit, that everyone gets in line and let it happen.

Blacks in the Hood at the corner store, or the Latin community at the Latin Grocery store, I do not get "Fuck Trump" and "White people are Nazi Racist".
But I do from the Woksters that think they have a seat promised at the Party table, when Communism is the accepted form of Government.
Blacks and Hispanic folks in the community, and not on the dole, don't see it as Rosy as those with something to gain, or something to lose, by not pushing Woke views.

Doesn't matter which generations are in question. Any two generations can be pitted against each other by the subversives and KommieKunts, it's what they do, but it is easier when the newer generation is brainwashed, and entitled beyond actual accomplishments. That's why they go after the schools. Get the kids to demonize their parents and turn them over to the gulags.

GenXer here. Grew up in a world where freedom was the #1 American value. We were raised to take the freedoms won by the boomers in the 60s as sacred. War is wrong, and so is any kind of differential treatment based on either sex or race. Think Post-Vietnam war, Reaganism, an ACLU that fought for the right of Nazis to march, because first amendment rights were considered that important. We came of age watching the Berlin Wall fall and the Soviet Union crumble. We had to read 1984 because well that was the year it was. We knew what totalitarianism and Fascism were and would have none of that. So I would think our generation would be least susceptible to the forces of social division and totalitarianism.

From what I’ve seen, Gen X is the one pushing back against leftist totalitarianism most strongly of any generation. Then again, we also tend isolate ourselves from the crazy rather than engage with it. So don’t count on us to do much beyond snark and derision of the unwashed stupid masses in the other generations.

Agree with both of the last posts. We already had environmental nuts and vegan movements and some feminism, but all those movements, incl. the hardcore anti war movement, we're based on the understanding that you never suppress opposite opinions. Freedom of speech, 1984, brave new world were front and center topics.

I'd agree with the last 3 posts.

It's generation X opposing communism and fascism the most. We, more than any other generation, recognize that's the false dichotomy we're being presented with. Everybody in our generation read both 1984 and Brave New World and we grew up with the Butter Battle Book as well.

You'd think that once the Cold War ended in 1991, we wouldn't repeat the same stupidity, but NOPE, the boomers are full in on going to World War III and the Millennials nor the Zoomers recognize either the expense or psychological terror that was.

Just have to vent. Boomfucks are the most parasitic generation in US history. They are all draining more government resources than they will ever put in. They are kept alive far longer than they should draining our health care living unhealthy overweight kept alive on a massive cocktail of meds. Almost every fat boomer is on a cpap that I know. They do not leave the next generation in a better place. They raise and treat their children like the government treats Indians. They have totally fucked up the US. They were probably the shittest parents as a whole. A bunch of fucking sellouts.

I have more respect for my grandparents and the very elderly than I do for most in their 60s and 70s. I know most are not bad but damn I've been running into a lot of fucked up ones lately, all from CA.

A bit generalizing, but I agree. The majority of boomfucks are progressive leftoid voters from their nimby enclaves now. They have enjoyed most large economic booms, spent it all and then turned to socialism once they weren't producing anything anymore.

100%

I'm a late boomer (born 1960) and and my wife (born 1958) and we fully agree with your opinion of disgust. "My/Our" generation fully screwed things up and we deeply worry about the future of our grandkids. Our folks were shaped, figuratively and literally by WWII, the depression, etc. and were all extremely solid. The type of individuals that did what they said they'd do. My wife and I deeply miss our folks and cannot even comprehend how we might explain to them what is going on in this country. They would not believe us!

No offense to the boomers here, but yeah, this is how I feel.

This is the generation that protested the Vietnam war and said "we won't get fooled again" who have dragged us into 20 years of unending and entirely unjustified wars.

Where are the principles of the peace and love generation? They really are the most irresponsible generation we've ever seen. They have allowed freedom of speech to be attacked. They're the ones doing it. Who runs the government right now? Generation X? The SILENT generation? They're just awful.

I don't get the gripe against the boomers. It's an over generalization. In the eighties we knew it was the Yuppies(Professional Boomers in their 30's) that were destroying America and exporting our jobs for a profit. We didn't blame everyone born in 1945. We knew exactly who we were pissed off at.

As for Gen-X being the next target, that doesn't surprise me at all. Gen-X are pragmatic, self starters, self reliant, are accountable for their actions, and are very knowledgeable in the field of their endeavors. That alone makes us Toxic to the shiftless pathetic, useless, loafing layabouts on the Left.

I used to honk at boomers when they crossed in front of my car in a cross walk. It was fun to watch them jump (sort of jump) and they deserve it for fucking up CA. Now that I'm in Texas I don't do that anymore. Texas has the best boomers.

sidenote: my dad came back from a CA trip to TX and told the rest of my family I'm "mean to old people" after he experienced me doing this. He's a silent, I'm Gen-X (clearly the best just small)

I may change my name to break_boomer_legs soon although I never was so lucky.

I think the Silent generation is actually our best generation, at least in my lifetime.

There's no doubt the boomers fucked up a lot and the OP is wrong on many fronts. The boomers heydays are like a caricature out of the brilliant movie hot tub time machine: they were living it up in today for most unaffordable ski resorts, drinking, snorting coke and adopting every fad on the planet, 100% formula fed babies (cause fuck breast milk), those weird "exercise" machines you don't see anymore and many more highlights. They saw the biggest economic and technological advances, and all they came up with to make with all the dough was socialism. And as they aged they supported every foreign war, every raise of the debt ceiling and every increase of taxation of the middle and upper class they once belonged to. Worst is they embrace a lot of the leffoid woke bullshit and are blaming their fuck ups and monetary insanity on globull warming and climate change to distract from their doings. Medicine has become unaffordable under the boomers, a total racket, and they peddled a lot of the covid lockdown and jab insanity. Their one job was the minute the "you're killing grandma" lie was coined to stand up and show the erect middle finger to all those power hungry leftoids, defending their offspring. Instead they went with it. Shame on them lol

wut

Dude, bring it on.

Most Milliefucks run their mouths because the many of them have never gotten a punch in the face when they wised off to the wrong person.

Once wise ass Hipster Millefuck said "Cool Story, Bro" to me and my coworkers once, and I said "I got another cool story for you about a deviated septum. It's multimedia, and I'll tell you outside right now." Little fucker (this was like 10 years ago) couldn't flee with his stupid 19th Century bartender mustache fast enough.

Millenials are completely fucked up, so is part of Gen Z. Everything is a generalization, but I'd go with Gen X and their grandparents generation as the only recent solid ones.

I like Gen Z much better than Millfucks as a group, or at least I've run into far better examples. I know many Gen Z chicks are already irredemable Slores, but then again, so are many Millies and some Gen X girls. The further you get from 1990 (ie before 1985), the better the Millies generally are. About 2-3 years around 1990 are where you find the worst of the worst.

People dump on the younger generation too much, just because they are dumb, stupid, kids. We were ALL dumb stupid kids at one point.

I have a great deal of hope with Z and the millennials, because they are far more skeptical than I was at their age, and I'm complete cynic now.

Generation X isn't as gullible as the Boomers are, or as obedient, and I'm certain the millenials and Z will be even better. These kids were indoctrinated like all of us were, but they have access to this communication tool, and because its so effective, there's desperate and pathetic attempts to censor it. I guarantee this won't work.

The boomers are mostly oblivious, which is weird, because in my experience, the Silent generation is NOT. My parents are from the Silent generation, they have ALMOST the same level of suspicion about government "authority", and supposed "experts" that I do. I know plenty of people in Y that are similar. VERY few boomers.

Seems many have missed the point of the OP that they have been successfully turned against the Boomers by simple minded, directed propaganda, focussing an inappropriate inter generational hostility. They have been had by the messaging agitprop social division demons.

Those same techniques will turn against the Gen X and other generic Gens as well when their time comes. Nobody give a shit about Gen X sanctimonious self image, any more than the subsequent generations have seen the Boomers in an appropriate light or perspective.

Its divisive vice versa, too, because the 'older' Gens are just as contemptuous and generalizing about the younger Gens.

Millies are the opposite of skeptical. They're generally more idealistic according to pretty much every survery done and it's not changing with age. They're the first generation not to become more suspicious and less naive about social justice and other childish values as they aged.

The 2020 Riots were disproportionally Millennials, a huge break as most riots until then featured predominately 18-23 year olds. I believe the average arrestee was 28, born in 1992.

I wasn't.

The boomers are largely a generation that wouldn't listen to their elders, and wouldn't listen to their youngers. The nation has long been in trouble, and they are the generation that won't listen to this, and will actively deny it.

It wasn't propaganda that brought me to this conclusion, it was experience.

Ceffer says

I bet it doesn't. I'll align myself with Gen Y and the millennials. I know they are ignorant, but I will talk to them, and explain their errors, and will listen to them to see if I am in error. Boomers refused to do this. They were a very arrogant generation that listened to nobody. There are exceptions of course, but largely, this is a generation that is so fucking arrogant, they just won't listen to anybody. They broke down a long line of knowledge because they wouldn't listen to anybody. A very arrogant generation, they thought they knew it all, and they wouldn't listen to anybody that pointed out that they didn't.

I know this directly. I've been called traitor and anti-American for opposing the Iraq War, and this was entirely allowed by the Boomers. The anti-war generation. What a joke. But I was right wasn't I? No reward for that at all. It's largely recognized as being an error, but there's no reward for being right, only reward for being a fucking go along get along asshole that promoted destruction.

I know there are exceptions, but they are incredibly rare. Bush should have been impeached at least, no support from the Boomers in this. He should have been executed along with most of his cabinet. You want to know why this nation is so fucking corrupt? It's because the largest voting block at that time approved and rewarded corruption and criminality.

Greed is good, right? Is it? Here we are.

Millennials far less conservative than Boomers and Xers during similar age points:

Don't trust a report, talk to some millennials.

Don't argue, TALK.

We don't have a news media, we have constant unrelenting propaganda. Remember that Hillary Clinton has a 97% chance of winning, according to all "the polls".

We do not have a news media at all, it's just propaganda. They are depending on the Asch Conformity Experiment, but nobody in millennial and zoomer generation pays attention to it. We have a disconnect, finally.

richwicks says

I'd say the Millenial Lib:Con ratio is easily 2:1, and that's discounting my West Coast coworkers who are mostly Millie Leftoids.

Left Coast are not, Worse with just women and especially White Women in their 30s. The Millie guys aren't much better. And this is Central Florida, not Coastal California.

I posted the chart.

I know more Gen Z conservatives than Millennial ones. I have Black women I work with from Gen Z that say "Trump gave me money." Only ONE woman I work with in her 30s thinks Trump is okay, but she's a Central Florida Rural Gal. The rest of them are very social justice proper in their language - the White ones. Black gals don't give a shit about PC.

We are all stupid when we are young.

And this isn't about liberal or conservative, it's about being right and wrong. People who think there's 50+ genders, they are wrong. These are people who have been propagandized, but they were propagandized in my opinion due to neglect of parents.

richwicks says

Look at the chart again. Not only are Millennials in both the UK/US not becoming conservative, they're becoming more Left wing with age! And this isn't 1984 anymore when the difference was much smaller. This is with the Left aggressively standing for Ukraine, Masking, Universal Income, and Kid-elected Trans Surgery. As opposed to the 80s-2000s Left that was mostly Free Speech, Anti-Iraq War, anti-Nukes shit.



As many Millennials overwhelmingly fail to launch, even into their 30s, expect them to support more Left Wing support programs. Since they Support Current thing, and think Hate Speech isn't Free Speech, don't be surprised that they're fine with Social Credit Scores in return for UBI.

Why do you trust what is told to you?

Do you believe that the vaccines are safe and effective and that masking works?

There's no credibility in western media. Maybe I can be more direct - our news media is propaganda. It's social and political propaganda, nothing else. They lie constantly. They make up bullshit and report it as true, constantly. Don't you remember that Kyle Rittenhouse was just a white racist that went to a riot to murder black men? That's our fucking media. There's NO TRUTH IN IT.

Dude, it's based on exit polling.

It conforms with my experience on both coasts in the US among the workforce and neighbors.

Millennials are more left wing than previous generations and are apparently becoming more leftwing.

Something like 45% of Millie women are unmarried and Childless, and they're already entering their late 30s and some are entering their 40s now. Not many are going to start a family. Single, childless women are the most fertile ground for Leftism - especially those with college educations who make up a huge proportion of that segment.

Who is the outlier, over and over again?

Millennials... becoming more left wing over time.

Well it sounds like to me, everyone is in aggeeance that lifelong Liberal Boomers Suck Balls. Why limit that to Boomers? Can't you just shorten it to "Liberals Sucks Balls"?

All of the shit people are bitching about the Boomers, I don't see conservative Boomers fitting those molds. They didn't go for new fangled fads, they had no baring on the financial system, they didn't inflict their ideology on anyone, they kept to themselves, and made their own way. Not every Boomer, was a Harvey Milk dick sucker.

I'm a boomer and most of the ones I know aren't liberals; the females are another matter.
Boomers saw the creation if the EPA; we can remember when there was no recycling, leaded gasoline, sewage treatment plants being built, when catalytic converters were used.
I have some pictures I took in NYC in early 70's and you can see the air pollution; apartment buildings had trash incinerators.
Some smoked weed but quit; some drink booze a little bit. I can see the boozers on Facebook; they look very old.
None of the boomers I know had large families; two kids was their norm.
Except in Santa Cruz, the boomers are not using the welfare system.
Some boomers I know went to Viet Nam; one kid came back deceased.
The asshole politicians are not typical and some are older than boomers, like Turtle McConnell and his ancient ilk.

Boomer had about as much say in that, as everyone on Patnet had the power and authority to stop the Covid Scamdemic.

Good discussion. For the record I think unleaded gasoline was the right decision, not everything environmental agencies/projects come up with is bad. The data was very clear that many people, esp. kids since they are shorter, and those living near busy streets near ground level had much higher concentrations of lead in the blood which led to many and often serious health issues. But we went a long and wrong way from actually improving the health of everyone to equity and esg bullshit.

It was a knee jerk over reaction to toxic building materials. Lead paint, and Asbestos caused such a stir, that the "The New Thing" back then was putting on show to clean up the act. Besides every time they go on one of these clean up tangents, people get filthy rich in the process. Lead is pretty heavy, so having lead in your exhaust, does not suspend lead particles in the air. It falls back to the ground in short order.

Kids were getting lead poisoning from putting lead painted toys in their mouths, and eating lead paint chips. Funny how when I was kid, and even to this day. Lead fishing sinkers don't have a warning to not crimp them with your teeth. Which when I was kid I crimped thousands of them with my teeth. That surely would have put more lead in my body than the tiny amounts they put in Gasoline. Leaded gas was far more efficient by the way. They didn't even try to find a suitable replacement for lead, that behaved as well as lead did.
