    What kind of psycopath counts generation death as a good thing. All interesting humans dead and you take it as an achievement.

    Stop crying on the past. Stop blaming past on generations. Start learning from past generation mistakes, and thank them for having you.

    Because as a new generation we’re going to make a lot of mistakes, who knows if more or less than the past generations. And we shouldn’t be blamed in the future.

    Blaming the past generations and not learning from them is a childish response. Start doing something productive and useful to society, blaming is not helping.

    Stop having tantrums and grow up. And thank you have past generations otherwise you would have to create all we have now from scratch.

    It’s like saying “Newton dumb” because his work is old and it doesn’t work correctly for all physical frames, not like Einstein his work is much better. Both are as good because they lived at different times with different technology, knowledge, society, etc.

    This feels like explaining basic life knowledge to a 3 year old tbh.

        So you think Doubling down somehow erases the problem. It totally doesn’t put you at their level, right? Or did you think everyone is just so dumb they can’t see your stupid thrown into the ring too?

        No, they don’t. They blamed the silent gen for ecological destruction, social inequality, and war. They also, like every generation back to australopithecus blamed their elders and thought the younger generation was spoiled & had shorter attention spans.

        Don’t foolishly attribute a universal human flaw to a single group of people.

        Yeah, not like boomers blame millenials or gen Z for everything. Oh wait.

        Maybe we should stop dividing up into age tribes and attacking each other?

        The problems we face affect every age in the same way.

      Kiddies who can’t think beyond the “us vs them” mentality but also think that all old people are bad, like that’s not as insane a generalisation as saying “all people of X race/sexuality/whatever are bad”. Human brains love trying to put everything in categories and labels, especially other humans.

        also think that all old people are bad

        Not many people actually believe this. It’s more that statistically it’s better for the country as more old people die. My boomer parents are progressive, but the generation by and large is holding us back. Of course the electoral college is part of the problem as well.

          Ok so when that generation is dead, how does that fix the musk, Bezos, chesky, Zuckerberg problem exactly? We’re still stuck with them. They are still doing far more damage.

            With more progressive voting comes more chances at holding billionaires accountable. Boomers vote GOP who gives tax breaks to the rich.

              And yet somehow the younger generations are powerless to stop the evil boomers when they have the political numerical superiority to make the changes they want now…

              Get out and vote. Run for office - local politics is where you start - get involved. Be that change.

              ******And always remember that one day YOU will become the hated generation that is standing in the way of progress.

                It really just comes down to this.

                But it takes more effort to do so, than comment on an Internet forum.

                  I have served in local politics and public safety but my time is long past. It’s well past time the next generations start to run things and I’m tired of waiting.

                    Thank you for your service, citizen.

                    but my time is long past.

                    There are always advisory positions available.

                    It’s well past time the next generations start to run things and I’m tired of waiting.

                    Well, you know what they say about Power and Vacuums, they get filled, and the current stock of power lords will die off eventually.

                    So at some point they’ll run for office (if they can put their phones down long enough to do so ( I kid! I kid! :p )).

                    To be fair though, we’re not making their (future) elected jobs any easier by fucking things up today and doing our elected jobs poorly; its a team effort.

          Every generation can see right from wrong. The problem is we’re not all agreeing on what is right and what is wrong.

        Speaking of how we categorize …Rememberer how a bunch of idiots tried to categorize Covid as if it was china to blame and relating it to diet of eating bats meanwhile there’s white dudes in North America chowing down on venison infested with prions pretending mad cow isn’t a thing. No one should be pointing fingers.

      It needs 3 generations after a traumatic incident to get the negative consequences out of the population.

      Surprised your comment has positive upvotes because this thread has turned into /FuckBoomers.

      Boomers aren’t the problem.

      You should click on the link so that you realize that you are in fact a retard, as there is a clock for every generation with currently living members

        It’s more about the comments around this post. Idk what were the intentions when OP posted this. But the comments are pretty clear. Stuff like “Death to all boomers”, " when boomers dead all good", etc.

        But yeah you definitely seem a cool guy to hang with, calling retard to everybody that thinks different or doesn’t agree with some ways of dealing with life.

          Firstly, I genuinely don’t care what you or anyone else thinks of me because you are not someone I have ever met and we will very likely never speak again outside of this board. That being said, I do care about the feelings of others when it comes to how they feel emotionally, and my post was not meant to be deep cutting but rather a light jab. I realize that words online are much more difficult to convey the exact meaning of because you cannot tie emotion to them in a way that other people will pick up on.

          Second, your point was made invalid when you stated that this was specifically something made for boomers, which if you would have went and clicked on the link, would have realized is not the case.

          Three, you literally did the exact same thing! You compared their intelligence to that of a three year old! You didn’t make your comment about the othsr comments, you made it about the content of the post, that is incredibly clear.

          Now do I think you are a human who is actually mentally handicapped? Of course not, but in that particular moment you were definitely favoring it, and that’s totally fine, the intention of my comment was not to try and hurt your feelings, but rather to point out your mistake so that you and others can learn that this is not just some calendar made to shit on boomers and celebrate the death of them (which becomes a harder ask as healthcare becomes even better).

      Because as a new generation we’re going to make a lot of mistakes, who knows if more or less than the past generations.

      musk, Zuckerberg, Chesky, bezos are but a few who aren’t even boomers and have done probably far more destruction to society with their attainment of wealth.

      We’re gonna see this current generation posting this usVSthem bullshit explain all that away to the future generation when their kids look into their online memes like this one about how ‘they knew better than boomers enough to criticize’

      “Tell me about how you stood by Greta thunberg and didn’t just sit on your ass posting drivel on your iPhone while you rented Airbnb and got half your things off of Amazon. Did you vote in trump? Tell me how did he become president again?”

      Part of me thinks this generation posting this generation meme drek is a poor attempt to quickly burry this giant steaming pile of poo.
