I'm sure the "justifiable" reasons were totally organic how you came to them in the past and not part of the same training being done, just in a different decade.
Boomers enabled the current state of things because it benefited them, don't pretend otherwise, they are not 'victims' and they are not all certainly friends of the younger generation, if anything they tend to be insufferably arrogant and entitled.
Boomers are basically adult children themselves, just manifested less severely than millennials. They grew up in a Swiss watch economy designed to be the best in the world and just assumed that things would keep going fine no matter how much waste and malevolence happened under their watch.
A lot of them still think like that. I'm amazed every time a conservative boomer says Trump lost the last election or that he's "on Twitter too much." And these are the same people that love to tell younger people that they "don't know how the world works."
Ah yes, the boomers lecturing about social media use while constantly on their phones more than teenagers are LOL. That shit pisses me the fuck off, I have family members who go on their phones and tablets while having a conversation and you can tell they're not paying attention and I openly tell them off for it and I'm 33 for fuck's sake.
For the record people will take my boomer hate to make it out that I hate all boomers, I actually don't. I'm genuinely appreciative of boomers and generation x'ers who are inquisitive and ask me things about the world and what young people go through. It's the fuckers who think they know everything and think they can lecture people while being absolutely broken human beings themselves that get me.
Way too many of the latter than the former these days. Possibly the nicest responses I get online is when I have older women asking me about shit and they've posted they hope I get a girlfriend finally which is really nice and wholesome of them. Most of what even the generation x'ers know about dating and economics is hopelessly out of date and they have no idea how truly bad things are.
Hell, I mean I qualify as a millennial/generation Y and grew up in the 90's, rant about education a lot. However even I feel fucking sorry for the teenagers and what they have go through with education. Not only do they have to deal with incompetent teachers, they have to deal with teachers who want to bully them about LGBT virtue signalling and then on top of that they have to deal with 'schoolmates' being shit heads to them over social media. So when you go to school and then come back home that shit is not going to stop if they have it in for you.
Very good, you've believed something you were told that made sense after you were told it and assimilated it into your framework for why things are like they are, and are now reacting defensively to the notion that you were taught that idea for a reason instead of being super smart.
Something being true, partially or fully, doesn't discount that it was knowledge given to you for a purpose.
Every single one of the 65 million boomers currently alive are responsible for the current state of the world, not the small cabal of power brokers whose successors believe the exact same shut.
This just reads like a #NotAllBoomers and people know that's not what I'm being like, I'm pointing out that there are justifiable reasons to not respect your elders. They want my respect, they have to earn it. I for instance really like Ron Paul and he's a massive boomer, but that's because he's clearly an open minded person and he's also somebody who perhaps unknowingly ended up teaching me a shit ton about economics. When Bitcoin came along as well, he even tried earnestly learning about it. Rather than doing what most boomers did where they pretended to know everything and dismissed anybody who tried to explain things to them in the most arrogant fashion possible which people still try to do today.
As a result I kind of represent the old guard of Libertarians and I'm a free market economics guy. I watched him battling it out with the likes of Ben Benarnke ( Bet most of you won't even know who that is without looking him up ) and other twats on CNBC back when I was half-red pilled on how the world really works and that was when I was around 15 - 16. When you know as much about economics as I do it's easy to understand why the younger generations hate on boomers.
Boomers do nothing to earn the respect of young people, they demand it and then get angry when they get told to fuck off. That's not how things work, if more boomers behaved like people you would want to emulate then relations between the generations wouldn't nearly be as bad. I mean the absolute classic for me are the right wingers, they sit there being total simps worse than male feminists and preach about family life and marriage. Then they almost inevitably end up having some kind of drama in their personal life.
I've seen Count Dankula setting up a more stable and wholesome family life for himself and that guy shitposts about inflation porn and LARPed as a fake judge which the left actually fell for.
if anything they tend to be insufferably arrogant and entitled.
Baby boomers were called the "Me Generation" decades ago. As a cohort, Boomers have always been this way. So it doesn't surprise me in the least that they're still selfish now that they're old farts.
