RE: Are you a baby boomer?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
He’s just speaking facts 🤷♂️
You have a generation who feels entitled to money that’s been spent during their time and they overall don’t care if the following generations have to pay the bill. It’s not an attack on individuals but just a honest reality take on what’s happening.

I dispute that. But without bringing in all the multitudes I know to tell You You're wrong, I have no way to prove it.
Most of Us "boomers" are struggling, barely making ends meet, many like Me are homeless.
And what's happening is that We're lied to right and left. No clue where Y'all came up with the crap about "boomers" from.
That's absolute BS. I have kids, and everyone I know that has kids will be just as angry at that mischaracterization as am I. If you have kids you will not apply that mischaracterization to yourself, because you will have sacrificed and labored hard to provide for them - and you will deeply care whether you leave them slaves to psychopaths or free prosperous sovereigns.
The Hegelian Dialectic depends on dividing people against one another, Nazis and Jews, Blacks and Whites, Boomers and Zoomers, will only surmount our diabolical overlords by working together, getting along with each other to produce the blessings of civilization without which our beloved posterity will perish in penury. You blame boomers because you ignore your parents, or your parents parents, that have loved you enough to sacrifice and slave for your prosperity, because that's what you are indoctrinated and propagandized to know by the squawking status guru box we are all staring at while we type at each other.
It's a false claim. A lie you are told to divide you from your forebears and to target them instead of base your defenses on their building you inherit. They didn't steal from you. Bill Gates, George Soros, and Klaus Schwab do, not because they're boomers, but because they're Machiavellian manipulators that set us all against one another so they can take everything our forebears have left their posterity - us.
The best proof you are wrong about boomers is you when you have kids you will die to keep fed, and every preceding generation has felt that way about their children, and every proceeding generation will too. Every good thing you have in life has been left to you by the boomers that worked all their lives to make it.
"The first generation builds, the second generation receives, and the third generation squanders the wealth." Or so the saying goes.
You could now say that the fourth generation will in turn become itself into a first generation, which in turn rebuilds what has been destroyed. It seems that we are always in a cycle of similar events.
You could also say that instead of the boomers "not caring", they "didn't worry" and you would be right about that too. Those who wanted to make provisions and did so are always somewhat at odds with those who distrust provision. Not without good reason, because capital is unstable and not a reliable thing. Not even property is. Faithful and confident people are the ones you want to and should rely on. Preferably both, of course.
I'm one of the boomers who won't be inheriting a house or a lot of money. So my son and the sons and daughters of others will be on their own (they can wish it would be otherwise but they are not entitled to). In all likelihood, many will have a hard time, because hedonistic parents (me and my fellow generation) often have hedonistic children as a consequence. But not all of them. For some, the role model is reversed.
However, we must not forget that the entire investment in the children of the boomers goes more into the present and what these parents invested in their children during their lifetime is much higher in comparison than our parents invested in us. Also, emotionally there is a lot invested into them (at least, when I speak for myself).
I see many of my life choices now in a different light. Would probably have taken a different course if wiser at younger age. But I wasn't. Not making a murder pit out of my heart, though.
