Ignoring the leftist hyperbole, there is a HUGE disconnect between the baby boomer generation and the youngest generation.
In centuries past there wasn't this much of a gulf but there is a shocking amount of elderly in Western countries that don't grasp just how screwed the younger generations are thanks to their excess and virtue signalling. No wonder we've had so many Gen Z coups this year!
Worst generation by far. Lied their way out of the Vietnam draft so they could do drugs and be degenerates. Normalized feminism, faggotry and every other form of vice. Took nepo baby jobs and asset stripped the companies their forefathers built for a fat payout, screwing everyone else over in the process. Inherited the prosperity, peace and stability of the 90% White America just to piss it all away. And have the gall to call us soft, lazy and useless.
It's time for some short trips down long staircases.
In hindsight yeah, same with the WWII draft. At the time though it was the biggest sign of cowardice and weakness, and the skeeviest fuckers got "student deferments" for it. It's one of the reasons academia is so fucked.
The anti-war movement was backed because it defended left-wing regimes in southeast Asia. Needed to happen 55 years earlier, with people accepting jail sentences or violently resisting drafts.
Aren't you a Euro? Anyway, the draft dodgers weren't doing it out of a principled refusal to serve ZOG, they were scared of getting hurt and having to do physical labor.
Who do you think they're going to send to their deaths for Ukraine? Definitely not Americans, but the subjects of their vassals.
I think you're correct about the motivation of the draft dodgers and protesters. That is probably why they abolished the draft. Still, I'm not going to condemn anyone who refuses to fight in a GAE war, for whatever reason.
The Quakers did it out of principle though. They requested non-combat duties, like ambulance or other support positions. They got locked up for it. They then confronted racism in the prison systems, so they got kicked out of prisons & sent to work (forced labour) at places like Insane Asylums... which they then exposed as being hell-holes of disease, corruption & death.
After the war was they helped all the Japanese-Americans who'd been sent to concentration camps. Quakers were legit back in the day!
The baby booners have been split into two generations. The Jones Generation. Before you get surprised Millenialls didn't start out with a name, and now they keep changing charts. I was a millennial with my kids for most of their life. Now my youngest son can't a millennial on some charts.
Don't mind the downvotes. It's a silly concept to begin with.
There is a disconnect between generations on housing and you can make it funny and sad at the same time but this just looks like some unhinged lunatic that never talked to an actual person.
Yeah, this is so Redditor in it's grasp on real life.
"I baby sat twice and I'm rich"
As someone who has a dad in his 60s who worked exteremely hard, spent far below what he made, etc. He has a good amount of money, but it's through discipline, hard work, talent, and not spending his money willy nilly, but making long term decisions.
A lot of these "the older generation could afford a home" people, they go out, they buy craft beers, they buy pot, they have 3 or so digital subscriptions.
My parents when they were in college, lived in a crappy apartment. They didn't drink, smoke, do drugs, due to them being Christian.
They saved up years just to purchase a crappy tiny little TV so they could watch their favorite football team play, before that, they were content with the radio describing it.
A lot of their meals were the ones they could get from the job they worked at, or other college meals they didn't have to pay for, and a lot of their meals was stuff like tuna on crackers.
I kid you not, but eating at Subway was something they treated themselves to about once a month. Back then Subway was actually good according to them.
That was a treat, that they'd give themselves. That would be like a Gen Z or millenial "roughing it" to have to subject themselves to subway.
They were living with their eye on the future, of having a family, of realizing that money has wings, and is fleeting and you could have an emergency and huge chunks of your money gets sucked up despite all your careful planning.
I doubt most millenials or gen Z could live a single week like my parents lived a good chunk of their early life as they were building the road to having a financial stability.
"But I need my spotify, and my Amazon Prime Video, and my decent cell phone, and at least 1 video game a month at a miinimum, and the ability to unwind on the weekends with beers with my friends, and pot, and....(on and on)".
They compare their parents general wealth but don't see the lean times.
The millenial and Gen Z (I'm a millenial) think they're living in a lean time because they don't have a nice situation like past generations at their age.
No, you'll be in a lean time when you live like you're in poverty, because that's what you are. My parents weren't rich, and they lived like some section 8 housing people.
If you were to see how they started to live in their 30s, people would assume (pfft, privelaged boomers get everything handed to them).
No, YOU'RE the generation that has had everything handed to you, not the older generation. You've had a life where you got 100x the luxuries that the prior generations had. Back when my parents were growing up, drinking a soda was a special treat that was rare. I imagine when you were growing up, it was a stable of your diet.
Then because of that extreme luxury you became used to because of your parents, as you grow up and see that life's luxuries don't grow on trees, instead of being grateful to the generation that provided you the luxuries throughout your upbringing you took for granted, you grow bitter assumming they had it easy.
Life has always had the desire, in every generation, to kick you square in the stomach and keep kicking you relentlessly, and being a man is forging a future forward in spite of that.
The generation wants to lay blame at the "boomers" because it's easier than taking personal responsibility.
The things they're describing isn't even a boomer thing, it's a CEO and people running the country thing and everyone, no matter their age, makes the same choice when they get into that level of power. Look at Elon Musk, selling America down the river for Indian H1B's. He's not a boomer, is he?
Millenials at that level of power and decision making, if given the same choice at the same power level, eventually, the ones that could, would. But it would only represent a small few part of a generation, not representative of the generation as a whole.
Boomers didn't sell the country for globalism. My dad, despite his relative financial success, was never presented with the option of "outsourcing the country for his own financial gain" (not that he'd pick that choice if he was given it) because that's the faustian choice presented to people with entire industries in the palm of their hands, not vast majority of individuals including the successful workers making up the various middle class financial brackets.
The lower millionares (less than 10 million) are the ones grinding away at jobs their whole life and living below their means and generally spending quasi responsibly. They aren't "selling their children's futures away" to globalism for a quick buck. That's a tiny tiny amount of people who even have that "option", and it's an option that if someone in that situation doesn't take, someone else with less principles will. There's no generation so principled that someone wouldn't be happy to take that deal when presented the option to own an island rather than a few mansions. That's because every generation will have greedy, evil people.
Generation blaming is why the black community is so stuck and will never become successful unless they drop that mentality. Personal responsibility is the only way out or worse situations. There is no other way.
He has a good amount of money, but it's through discipline, hard work, talent, and
Also because his prime years were well before inflation, mass immigration, and outsourcing started wrecking the country. All that dicipline and hard work doesn't go so far these days, when the HR department bluehairs in corperate America keep passing over White men for hiring and promotion.
They were living with their eye on the future, of having a family
Many young folks don't believe either of those is attainable. You're younger than me, so you should be able to see this. We have entire generations of young men who don't think they have anything to live for, who think we older generations sold them out. This is a tremendously dangerous situation for any nation to be in; angry military-aged men like that have a track record of burning everything down like in the French revolution and lecturing them about avocado toast and overpriced coffee doesn't help.
We have entire generations of young men who don't think they have anything to live for
We don't.
No family, no property, no great cause. Just the endless drudgery of employment followed by a lonely grave, all while watching our country be swallowed up by subhuman foreigners.
If you're not Christian, which many of the young generation is not, then marriage doesn't make sense when society starts being this post-modernist thing where your well-being and even survival isn't dependent on having large families, which is why you see the same hopeless attitude in Japan and places such as that.
But who says you need a family? I have no intention of ever getting married.
Success for me will be paying my bills and being happy.
Not living to the standard of my parents. I never will be able to afford what they could afford.
When I realized what I would be able to attain based on a variety of factors, including my own foolish decisions throughout life, I adjusted what I need to be content. As the Bible says, Paul in the new testament, if you have a roof over your head, food, and water, you can be content.
I won't be able to buy the latest greatest stuff, but you can be content in a large variety of scenarios.
The ones who complain about this stuff are really saying "I won't be content unless I'm rich enough to whatever standard I have set that standard at being.
Considering the large amount of rich people who end up killing themselves, I think that's a pretty foolish idea to hang your contentment on.
You and I are capable of being content, sure, but that doesn't address the dangerous rising discontent in the young'uns. This situation is very much capable of toppling countries. Of course, most people will think it can't happen here, as is traditional before disastrous events.
Very well said and your parents have a similar experience as mine to slightly lesser extent.
I'm old millennial, young gen-X. Me and my wife were living in a small apartment, saving as much as we could to the point that if once a month would treat ourselves to pizza we did not add to many toppings and would add them at home to save money. We pirated tv series and games and would buy our stuff on discount.
Once we both got better jobs we used the money for down-payment on a house. We now have a nice house and raise a nice family that are spoiled.
I can see pre-30s that have a nice car, newest Iphone and brand clothes while living on rent.
I don't know how to exactly respond. We lived like that when I was a young kid. It wasn't bad. When I got older, my parents went spend crazy on the credit, filed for bankruptcy, did the crazy spending on credit again, and divorced. The first round I figured out was spending on my brother's stupid travel sports because we didn't have anything more than before. The second round was them buying all kinds of things for themselves. Now I'm in my 40s, I do pretty well because I've always been cheap, I save my money, and I don't spend. Craft beer, pot, subscriptions? No thanks. Food delivery? Hell no.
So what happens? They come back with their hands out because they raided their future for some stupid things they had to have (totally not needs). Having spent most of my teenage years when they were bankrupt and not getting anything from them really. I bought my own lunches at school even. It just pisses me off.
I do agree with you though, the blaming of generations as much as I enjoy doing so isn't productive. I do enjoy it, there's tons of boomers that are greedy and squeezed their lives for every penny of fun they could get and hung their kids out to dry and will definitely leave them nothing even though they couldn't have. Still, the way forward is never going to be to scream about the past but learn from it and figure out how to go ahead.
What you're describing is the result of not a generation thing, but a universal human thing.
In Proverbs in the Bible it talks about the wise person's approach to money vs the foolish person's approach to money.
Your approach and it's results vs your parents approach is yielding the exact thing Proverbs said would happen thousands of years ago.
If the Bible was talking about this behavior all the way back then, then this is a common thing and is not limited to certain generations.
Every generation, you'll see examples people who are foolish with their money and those who are wise with it and the results usually follow the predictable patters laid out in Proverbs.
Yeah you’re right about that. Lately I keep seeing boomer fools, and I don’t know many wise. It’s skewing perception.
My parents/grandparents church should really have spent some time on money management. They’d totally talk about how they were always the right church but I don’t think I ever heard one lesson about anything other than loving money is bad. Seems more irresponsible to me to be blessed with it as a Christian and throw it all away on things.
I agree, they are stereotypes of "capitalists" that only a leftist would think are remotely realistic. Not parody, lefties actually believe these men are everywhere.
Boomers are reverse-mortgaging their properties and selling them to Blackrock to retire on forever cruises instead of leaving a legacy behind. A generation of hedonic nihilists. Zero concern for their own bloodlines.
I don't feel bad for the people voting down universal health care, and them angry the elders have to keep what's theirs for health care. I'm absolutely disturbed at the MAID kill the elders before they spend the money you want model.
You want universal healthcare? May I ask why? I guess I have just seen too many people with terrible health habits saying that they are entitled to free healthcare. Or there is the argument that nobody is obligated to pay for my medical care. Now we could talk about all the foreign aid and wasted money in this country
Well I think a free market system could work and then have charities of course but most will never go for it. Have insurance only for catastrophic things
Neither the insurance companies nor the free market are the cause or the solution to the cost of healthcare. The entire problem boils down to who is paying for it, or more specifically, who isn't.
As long as hospitals are going to treat everyone who walks in the door whether they pay or not (cough, illegals), the cost of the parasites is going to be passed on to the people who actually pay. It doesn't matter if it is through insurance or through the free market, if you are paying for yourself and ten other people, it's going to be expensive.
Well I think a free market system could work and then have charities of course but most will never go for it.
You're retarded. Charity never goes to those most in need or deserving, it goes to parasites and the connected and the men most in need of healthcare are the ones who are least likely to have the means to pay.
They are the root of the issue, along with shyster layers.
Why do people need health insurance? Because it's so expensive.
Why is healthcare so expensive? Because they have to pay massive insurance bills. (Like $300K a year or more, per doctor.)
Why massive insurance premiums? Because lawyers sue for the most picayune reason.
Why do they sue? Because it's so expensive...
I said I wasn't interested in hearing the people voting down universal health complain that the elderly aren't leaving them large sums of money because they spent it on health care. I was quite clear. No universal health care means no intergenerational wealth. That's just life. Or, life after the elderly dies leaving nothing because they spent it all on health care.
And it eata up what they would've left to their families, as intended. A home tried to steal my grandma's house when my grandfather needed care. The entire system is designed to take everything, and leave nothing for those left behind.
Rather than fix that ," glitch" Canada will offer MAID so famiea can keep the wealth. That's what you're supporting. I have no sympathy for you.
By 2050 they'll live in "ConAps" (condominium apartments) assigned by The Feds. 50 stories of gray concrete, row after row like Soviet Russia or modern China, only even uglier.
Run by HOA hags who make "Ilsa She-Wolf of the SS" look like a girlscout...
Just like a PKD story, it was a feature in several of his works.
And yet this nation is in the midst of the largest generational transfer of wealth in all of history.
Maybe some boomer parents were broke their entire lives, bad with money, or just plain unlucky, but those that weren't are leaving their descendants an epic windfall.
The claim is supported by economic data, with projections suggesting the largest generational wealth transfer in history is occurring, as Baby Boomers pass down an estimated $84 Trillion in assets to their heirs, primarily Millennials and Gen Z. This transfer is expected to reshape the financial landscape and could make Millennials the wealthiest generation on record.
Ignoring the leftist hyperbole, there is a HUGE disconnect between the baby boomer generation and the youngest generation.
In centuries past there wasn't this much of a gulf but there is a shocking amount of elderly in Western countries that don't grasp just how screwed the younger generations are thanks to their excess and virtue signalling. No wonder we've had so many Gen Z coups this year!
Worst generation by far. Lied their way out of the Vietnam draft so they could do drugs and be degenerates. Normalized feminism, faggotry and every other form of vice. Took nepo baby jobs and asset stripped the companies their forefathers built for a fat payout, screwing everyone else over in the process. Inherited the prosperity, peace and stability of the 90% White America just to piss it all away. And have the gall to call us soft, lazy and useless.
It's time for some short trips down long staircases.
I won't hold avoiding the Vietnam draft against anyone.
In hindsight yeah, same with the WWII draft. At the time though it was the biggest sign of cowardice and weakness, and the skeeviest fuckers got "student deferments" for it. It's one of the reasons academia is so fucked.
The anti-war movement was backed because it defended left-wing regimes in southeast Asia. Needed to happen 55 years earlier, with people accepting jail sentences or violently resisting drafts.
What should I do when they start drafting people here to fight Russher?
Aren't you a Euro? Anyway, the draft dodgers weren't doing it out of a principled refusal to serve ZOG, they were scared of getting hurt and having to do physical labor.
Who do you think they're going to send to their deaths for Ukraine? Definitely not Americans, but the subjects of their vassals.
I think you're correct about the motivation of the draft dodgers and protesters. That is probably why they abolished the draft. Still, I'm not going to condemn anyone who refuses to fight in a GAE war, for whatever reason.
Yeah, how ridiculous that they wouldn't want to risk death and ruin their health being forced to do OSHA violating physical labor.
The Quakers did it out of principle though. They requested non-combat duties, like ambulance or other support positions. They got locked up for it. They then confronted racism in the prison systems, so they got kicked out of prisons & sent to work (forced labour) at places like Insane Asylums... which they then exposed as being hell-holes of disease, corruption & death.
After the war was they helped all the Japanese-Americans who'd been sent to concentration camps. Quakers were legit back in the day!
frag the most important person you can find
The most kiked generation
The baby booners have been split into two generations. The Jones Generation. Before you get surprised Millenialls didn't start out with a name, and now they keep changing charts. I was a millennial with my kids for most of their life. Now my youngest son can't a millennial on some charts.
The angry tone and over the top tropes is killing the humor.
Made by a leftie is why.
Same one who gave you a downvote. Got you back to normal now ;)
Don't mind the downvotes. It's a silly concept to begin with.

AI isn't typically known for it's subtlety
Truth, but Boomers hate their kids and grandkids.
I'm looking forward to the "Millennials selling their homes" videos in 2050 :)
With their hydrators and flying cars...
Millennials will never own homes.
Boomers are reverse-mortgaging their properties and selling them to Blackrock to retire on forever cruises instead of leaving a legacy behind. A generation of hedonic nihilists. Zero concern for their own bloodlines.

The elderly already get their healthcare subsidized by Medicare. And if they're poor enough, they also get Medicaid.

Women are basically the same way when it comes to sexual and dating market.
That man reminds me of the late night infomercial screaming guy.
