Many absolutely know that the chickens are coming home to roost. I've heard many, many older folks say "I'm glad I'm retiring/too old to fight" when confronted with how bad the world has gotten, knowing that it will be younger generations that will need to fight and fix it. They think they'll just be able to sit on their gold piles and die of old age while the conflagration they let spread continues to consume their own progeny and people.

Most older folks have proven, over and over again, to hate their own children. They leave no inheritance, they kick their kids out at 18, they sell their houses instead of gifting them to their children, they tell all their kids (including daughters) to go to college, they don't pass on knowledge or skills, they refuse to acknowledge the massive economic disparities between when they grew up to now, they all want to retire when almost none of their kids will be able to, they embraced globohomo stuff like individualism, judeo-capitalism, keynesian economics, endless money printing, debt based economics, consumerism, Hollywood, feminism, birth control, no fault divorce, drugs, LGBTQ, mainstream media, mainstream history, warhawking all over the planet, sending their own kids to die in far away lands for the benefit of globohomo, open borders, mass non-white immigration, the Kalergi plan, race blindness, egalitarianism, DEI, bolshevism, hedonism, degeneracy of every color, and whatever the TV tells them. And if their own children dare to disagree with any of their brainwashing, or try to explain the realities of the world in any way, they get angry and lash out at their own children, calling us Nazis, fascists, racists, -phobes, bigots, and the like. I know there are some great older folks out there, but the vast majority, in only two generations, have absolutely ruined the entire White Western world, all because they "got theirs", and fuck everyone else, including their own children.

I normally try to dissuade inter group fighting among White folk, but of the older generations, they absolutely deserve a lot of scorn, given how bad they've let their own nations become, under their watch. This comes with the caveat that they're also the most propagandized generation, because globohomo had a monopoly of control on information sharing while they were growing up, through school, history, and the news. They didn't have the internet. We do, which has allowed us to circumvent the lies. But, the excuse for them grows increasingly thin as the world gets worse, as the lies become increasingly apparent, and as time goes on, as truthful alternative information sharing mediums exist, so too does their culpability and guilt grow, as they continue to feign ignorance when they could be searching for and learning the truth. Instead, most would rather just watch the TV.

This absolutely are my Boomer parents in a nutshell.

This is so on the nose (no pun intended) in my experience. All of my friends had boomer parents, and the level of callous disregard these parents had for my friends was off the charts - nickel and diming the kids on everything while spending shitloads of money on corvettes or motorcycles or whatever, fucking off and doing irresponsible shit while leaving the kids to fend for themselves, you name it. I grew up with old school European immigrant war baby parents, and while they were psychotic in their own way, they would fucking kill themselves before they ever neglected their basic parental duties, or before they ever let me want for anything, and it’s not because they had infinite money - it’s because they ate shit so that they could make my life easier, at least in a material sense.

It continues to this day - I now make 6-7 figures a year, and even still, whenever I visit my dad (retired factory worker), he stuffs wads of $100 bills in my pocket and gets pissed off if I object.

Yep. Ignorance isn’t an excuse anymore.
