Amen. I'm a Millenial (1995), and your comment is so refreshing to read. This isn't as much about generations as it is about the few ultra-wealthy and powerful that you alluded to. They are really the ones who are to blame, and nothing pleases them more and perpetuates their agenda more than us fighting each other. We ought to realize this an unite under this truth if we want to really fight the problem at its root, and the root goes by many different names which I'd probably get censored for mentioning here, but essentially it is made up of the most wealthy and powerful bloodlines going back to the very root of evil in this world, who, you know it, worship satan. Ultimately, based on my research, I have concluded that the Bible is the truth and the Bible describes exactly what has happened and exactly what is happening and what will happen. So, my faith is in Jesus. We know how this world ends and it does end. And individually, so do we. So I encourage you and all if you haven't already placed your trust and faith in Jesus so while this world is being destroyed, we can endure with confidence that we have a better life ahead, thanks and praise to Jesus Christ who suffered and died for our sins (of which we all have), in place of our deserved wrath, out of His love and sacrifice. Accept Jesus today, you won't regret it. Salvation - the only thing that hasn't gone up with inflation. Its still a free gift, made accessible to us through Christ Jesus only. God bless you.

They wanted to remold the world their way... and they did, to an extent. Just like their parents before them. The biggest difference was tech. Between the Silent Generation, the Boomers and GenX, the entire technical course of civilization jumped farther forward in less than 100 years than it had in centuries before.

It's nothing knew that Boomers live in a bubble since they had the benefits of the economic bloom when they were younger and now they are older, they have assets and experience (20-30 years work experience, and a house worth over 10 times its original price) to get them through the hard times of today, even during COVID they had a fraction of what everyone else had to witness during mass redundancies and trying to find work in a now flooded job market.

I am 43. You are spot on. Too many baby boomers assume that life fpr them was just regular old life but almost all of them have NO idea that they were extremely fortunate to have been born into the afterglow of WWII where the US (and Britain) literally destroyed the only two other global industrial powers (Germany and Japan). Consequently, they enjoyed 35+ plus years of the very best quality of life that mankind might have ever known. But then the good times started to dwindle so the Government took the US off the gold standard in 1971 to be able to spend into oblivion to keep the facade of good times going while many jobs slowly but surely got outsourced. When even that stopped producing enough of a "high", they financialized literally everything and used speculative bubbles in stocks and housing to keep the illusion of ecstacy going even longer. This was accomplished in large part due to artificially lowering interest rates for 40 years. All these financial games (executed by the Federal Reserve) benefitted the Boomers (who already owned many of the assets, due to them being affordable in their time) but ruined life for all the subsequent generations, not only because the price of everything has been inflated beyond belief, and not only because so many good jobs were outsourced overseas, but because the current and next generations will ALSO now have to deal with 30-40 years of RISING Interest rates...which will hurt just as much as it felt good for the boomers when they were on the way down. In other words, you are absolutely correct, but you probably don't even fully understand WHY you are correct, because young people are never taught how to connect the right dots.

We worked for decades to earn those pensions, and it was OUR generation that had employers turn around and cancel the pensions we had paid into, leaving many of us jobless with no pensions. I don't see why it's wrong to cling to what we earned... Our parents generation, who often had nothing at all, taught us not to waste anything.

But that there is the very problem. our very nature, and everything that is a product of it, is flawed no matter what. why do you think the us constitution was made on not only a compromise, but also with the ability to amend it later on? It's because again, anything we make is inherently flawed, for we are flawed. The United States was built on not just the foundation of freedom, but on another idea that is far too overlooked. the idea that we will never be perfect, and that there is always room to improve. and that's why we have to be able to openly criticize our own system and government. not to destroy it, but rather grind out and polish as many flaws as we can. sure, it will never be perfect, but that was never the goal, the goal is on the improvement itself. Nature herself teaches this with everything she made on the simple premise: Adapt Or Die.

1969 Gen X here. Learned not to trust the Establishment although I didn't know to call it that at the time, way back in 80's when the TV lied to my parents that the Dungeons and Dragons I played was turning me into devil worshipper and Judas Priest and Ozzy were going to make me kill myself. "Read my lips no new taxes....I did not have sexual relations with that woman" on and on. We had racism on the ropes. We laughed at racist jokes but regarded racist people as fools stuck in the horrible past we were lucky to be born after. In the 90's if you were against racism it just meant you were a regular person. Anthrax and Public Enemy on stage collab is all the proof I needed. Too much togetherness isn't good for the ones sticking it to us so Division became the game once again. Don't let the tablet, TV, or phone make you hate your neighbor.

You do know what happens to a nation when you open the immigration flood doors right? The reason our standard of living has dropped so much is because we flooded the country with people which essentially caused massive inflation as well as driving up the cost of living. This is common sense and why since the 70s its been downhill and its directly related to the increase in immigration. I am 35 with an iq in the 140 range.... You can literally go look at immigration statistics and inflation statistics and see the direct connection. Who would have thought increasing a population drastically would lower the overall baseline for the standard of living. I live in Canada and we have more people immigrating here yearly than are born domestically... The hilarious thing is if you mention this you are labeled as a racist or something by absolute retards. I am not racist I just understand that poorly regulated immigration can cause issue. Look at Canada and America now compared to the 70s for standard of living. Imgaine if we had a lot less immigration in Canada and America.. our dollar would be stronger and our standard of living would be higher. but hey.. lets be retards and just blame previous generations..... You do understand our immigration policies are not changing and we are doing absolutely nothing to stop our nations from getting worse. Atleast here in Canada they stopped non citizens from buying residential property finally.. imagine.. allowing non citizens to manipulate your domestic housing market... Sorry but in todays world saying I dont want non citizens to buy residential property.. is probably seen as racist...

Fun story: I was in Toastmasters(speech club). I chose a Toastmasters club which was comprised entirely of Boomers. I had been rotated into the meeting leader position. I chose a topic of bridging the generational gap. The word of the day was a Millennial word. I can't remember what it was, but it was uncomfortable for older people to say. Just as Gen Z might say "no cap" or "sus." It's not a real word, but bridging the generational gap is a real problem and I asked that we be so bold as to suspend a rule so that we could better explore the topic. We suspended the rule that states the word of the day must be found within a dictionary by motion and simple majority vote. Yet 100% of those who voted against me, refused to use the word of the day and complained loudly about the word and my generation. I informed everyone at Toastmasters that night that I would be quitting their club. I made the mistake of not quitting in writing. Instead, I started my own speech club. A year later, the Boomer Treasurer of my toastmasters chapter arrived at my work and loudly demanded of my company receptionist that I pay my dues. I had left a meeting with a client to see what the problem was. I paid my dues and emailed a letter stating I quit.

No real mystery as to why Gen Z feels this way as they have been raised by Gen X. When someone starts to insult boomers I see them insulting my mother who is almost 70yrs old and a sweet compassionate woman. Gen Z and Gen X are both pretty damn retarded and blame issues caused by capitalistic control on the baby boomer generation.. when in reality the issue is capitalism and how it is slowly dominating society through debt enslavement.

described most boomers

No wonder why entitled people keep landing into nursing homes and cry about how their "loved" ones don't visit them. Boomers were guilty of this as many of them who criticize the youth were the exact same thing as they were before. For being entitled, lazy, and ignorant. I am grateful that life has taken me to school and realize that it isn't about consumption and being greedy. I spoil my younger brother and share my small wealth with him and I believe that'll create a stronger bond between us. Some people don't believe in sharing their wealth, afraid of losing their security and freedom. In the end, they'll have nothing as they grow old and become dependent on others who they have no bond with. These boomers will end up spending their entire life savings living in a shitty nursing home with no inheritance to their kids while they cry, "Why won't my children visit me? Why don't they love me anymore?" We always make a choice. We must be better than this.

Typical boomer

It's kind of like this: Imagine a restaurant that's been in your town for generations that was well known for it's excellent cuisine. Every time you mention it around your parents, they get that wistful look in their eyes and reminisce fondly of the meals they had and the good times they shared. About the owner and what a great guy he was and how everybody knew his name. But... That was literally decades ago. That owner retired and sold the business to his kid, who is letting HIS kid run it. Things ain't so good no more. Some of it was the kid's fault. He's young and not so wise. Not only did he not have to build the business, he didn't have the luxury of watching his father build it like his father did. But some of it is society's fault. Things are more expensive now. People don't appreciate and value what they used to anymore. Times are tough, so corners get cut. Traditions get shelved because nobody knows why or how to do it right. The food loses quality, but costs more. Now, that restaurant isn't so good anymore, but if you ask around the neighborhood, everybody still sings its praises. They lament that nobody appreciates quality food anymore, not realizing that the food there isn't quality and hasn't been for a generation. That's the disconnect. The world the Boomers lived in doesn't exist anymore. It was sold for parts when we were in diapers. But nobody wants to shake up the system because they're afraid. Or rather, there are a few at the top that profit very much from a broken world. So they maintain the system at all costs.

It just happens that for boomers they’re much more prevelant and obvious because they somehow continue to influence our society. The boomers I know who grew up poor are worse because it just shows that despite knowing poverty, they’re still willing to throw other people into it for their own selfishness sake. Imagine, having kids after being pooor and then wishing poverty and failure on everyone who comes after you just because you grew up poor.

What else did you expect from somebody who decided to get married and create children. To not GAF and leave you on the side of the street hungry and dying or beat you with a stick? Dont give me that crock of horse twaddle. at your age are you living in your own house with a wife and 2 kids without any real worries except for just arriving at work? The answer is categorically no. Boomers dont need to get a pat on the back (a participation trophy if you must) for doing what is the minimum expectation to raise a family. let alone try and title it as a "giant personal sacrifice". He could have easily just left and had a great life without you. But he didnt because it wasnt the right thing to do. That isnt surprising nor impressive.

Younger generations aren't perfect but when you realize that most of them got into the work force after 2008 where the economy wasn't recovered it was tough. It wasn't the economic boom that boomers got to enjoy. Our generation works hard but doesn't get the same benefits their generation did. At times our generation works harder, working 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet. Its frustrating how hard some generation work only to be called lazy and entitled. Oh don't go to college to be in debt that's your fault? No its the older generation wanting college degrees. College degree has thr same weight their hs diplomas had. They want employees with degrees, oh blue collar jobs? Good luck half of them were outsourced by boomers. Not to sound rude but boomers were given a society on a silver platter and messed it all up. Younger generations are just trying to get the same things only its not as easy. Oh don't have a house by 30? You're lazy.

From 1946 to 1964. Boomers, were the children raised by war-heroes that wanted to give their children the best lives they could. They spoiled them beyond rotten, and let them roam free. When the Cold War started in the mid-late 50s, it gave these, now semi-adults, an excuse to riot and waste their lives fighting the government. They grew up in a time, when houses were still dirt cheap, rent was dirt cheap, and cars were dirt cheap. When jobs paid more than their fair share in most industries, and money cost nearly ten times than what it does now. Everything the boomers accuse the younger generations of, is nothing but projection, of an issue they started. Yes, SOME of them did have to fight in the cold war, In Korea, Vietnam, and other such. But, for most of them, and most of their lives, their only real threat, were the Russian Nukes. They demanded to be pamper by the US government, with bigger college loans, to more pristine universities, and double the worker population within a single generation. Gen Z and Millennials, and soon Gen Alpha, will be growing up, in the HORRENDUS FALLOUT, of the selfish generation, and, while I don't blame people like my parents, born in the early 1960s, I do 100% blame the boomers 70 and older for every financial, societal, and otherwise struggle that I have to live through... ONTOP OF NUKES, ON TOP OF MASS VIOLENCE BECOMING A BIGGER ISSUE, on top of so many stresses. Why do the younger generations want to off themselves, hurt people, and give up on building life?

Here in Sweden our parents grew up in socialist welfare state with plenty of good jobs, high salaries, low cost of living and loans without interest. They then proceeded to burn the bridges behind them by voting for lower tax. This caused everything to be underfunded. Schools were privatized and only focus on profit which destroyed our education. I have grades in courses I never did because the school bought too cheap computers that couldn't handle the programs. Our after school activities were all sacrificed as well which made it easy for gangs to recruit. When our parents finished school they got welfare while searching for jobs and their first job always paid a decent salary. My generation got no welfare, the few who did got so little it was impossible to live on because it hadn't been adjusted for inflation. So we had to rely on parents. Many of us have selfish parents so we had to starve and mooch of our friends who had decent parents. When we finally got our first jobs after a year on average it was most often horrible jobs that paid less our equal to welfare while working full time. They demand that we pay many times more than they paid for houses and apartments. The politicians they continually voted for never even lowered the taxes. The same politicians have been taking a bunch of loans to give money to banks to keep the interest rates low. but they never paid anything back. So we are stuck with the inflation and debt they caused. I have a deep hatred for every single person above 50. I look forward to seeing them abandoned in underfunded old folks homes and dying from neglect. Although the way they handle this inflation may cause an uprising that ends them before that. I currently live in a rented room in an apartment and pay 1000$ per month. My landlord pays 600$ for the entire 5 room apartment. Now with inflation she wants to raise it even more. They are truly disgusting, horrible people all of them.

As a Gen-X i deal with both generations and (in my opinion) millennials are (mostly) NOT spoiled and lazy (hustle) and quite smart for their age. I prefer them - their more do less talk than boomers.

As a gen x, I am sorry your generation experienced the narratives that you have experienced. The adults haven't been adulting very well for a very long time, but from what I have seen of your generation, the kids are going to be just fine.

We boomers had to wait for the WWII generation to get out of the way. Heck, Bob Dole ran as late as 1996.

As a Gen X'er I don't understand why we get called boomers and get all the hate. We were, and still are, in the same boat you are in. Our parents are the literal boomers that stopped protesting and sold out harder than any generation before or since. My parents were hippies when I was really young, listening to the Beatles. Then they voted for Ronald Regan and praised him while drug abuse, crime, and poverty skyrocketed. You think you grew up scared of school shootings? The 80's had actual crime rates that were worse than today's crime and violence rates. We also grew up with the looming threat of nuclear annihilation from the Soviet Union. Racism didn't start with George Floyd. We had Rodney King. It's been around since day one of America's life. We got labeled Gen X because we were the nothing generation. The X was just because there wasn't really anything better to say about us. We grew up knowing the world was fucked just like you guys are learning. Gen X'ers may be the same age as the people you see ruining the world, but those people are ruining our world too. It's really about the rich 1 percent having too much power and greed with no consequences that's the problem. I wish the younger generation understood this. Zoomers are just as fucked as we are.

@@Davivd2 You got it about half right. The 1960s counterculture was a Moscow directed Marxist subversion scheme, the New Left was sort of a reaction to 1950s anti-communism. The Soviet Union could not defeat the US on the battlefields of Korea & Vietnam, so they took the fight to the streets of America.

I'm 21 and I just hate generational arrogance In general no matter how old you are

I'm a millennial and this is ridiculous. I'm an older millennial so I could see how younger people this may have effected more. Boomers are crazy, I will agree with that.

Gen X here. I for one have tremendous faith in the younger generations. My generation is more independent, more skilled in a variety of tasks, and more self-starting, probably as the result of minimalistic parenting. The younger generations are better at networking, crowdsourcing, and adapting to information technologies than I will ever be. Don't let the boomers get you down. Your generations will do great things.

I am a " Millennial " and let me tell you: i dislike boomers a LOT.

Boomers were jerks to their children. Maybe they need some Tough Love back!

I know a boomer that has never had a job other than raising 2 boys that pretty much raised themselves but still wants to give advice about politics and money.

"To parents, I guess I would say really listen to them." Boomers are not listeners I'm afraid.
