Jeez. As someone who does not hate the boomers...those smarmy, entitled responses are giving me cause to reconsider.
Boomers Take Responsibility Challenge: Impossible.
Like, I don't need them to admit fault on everything, and I agree that some younger people shift blame and won't take their own share of responsibility...but boomers seem allergic to admitting any mistakes were made, or that anything has changed since their time growing up. And that pisses me off.
Also, lot of generalizing from the boomers in the comments that generalizing is bad, but also all younger generations grew up rich, unlike them who grew up poor, and pulled themselves up by their bootstraps. Again, things have changed, and the less well off younger generations are the ones really getting squeezed, because the same set of opportunities aren't there to the same degree.
The boomers also seem stuck in Us vs Them mentality, and seem to think this guy is a lib and Trump hater, just because he's criticizing boomers. So that actually makes their behavior seem a little better, since they're just being reactionary to a perceived opponent, instead of honest criticism from their own side.
It is crazy though. Just like in plenty of debates, the people making the counter-argument are the most compelling case for the original argument. A bit of humility would go a long way.
It's not "boomers", it's just ignorant dimwitted normie faggots, but older. While they have generational traits, so do the younger generations - but the source of their illness is the same.
A deliberately collapsed culture and decades of propaganda.
You do realize this is the same "it's not a 'black' thing," for situations where it is very disproportionately a black thing, right?
How can you say there are generational traits, then say it's not a boomer thing...especially when I think I went out of my way to say it's not all boomers?
Yes, and that's important to acknowledge, but is also true across the board, and doesn't absolve disproportional traits.
Because the same traits exist in all generations, just with different expressions. You can't blame boomers for the existence of retards. Retards are a constant, not a boomer specific disease. And there are less retarded boomers because retards tend to die younger.
