I hate baby boomers. They are the single worst generation that ever arose in the Western world. And if the Western world collapse, it will be their fault.

> Born to parents who saw the horrors of Great Depression and WW2 and wanted to spare the same experience to their children.
> Spent their childhood and early adulthood during the time of unprecedented prosperity, which they took for granted.
> They consequently grew up as egotistical, selfish and unable to plan for longer than the shortest possible time.
> As young adults they questioned the very foundation of the world they lived in and led the destruction of nuclear family, social consequences of it are still mounting.
> When they gained political power they among other thing:
> - turned around their views on drugs and supported the war on drugs,
> - ditched the atomic energy and created energy system based on fossil fuels,
> - created the system of free trade agreements which led to the disindustrialization of the West,
> - supported the liberalization od financial services, leading to the rise of investment banks and hedge funds,
> - effectively destroyed the space program,
> - created unsustainable system of social security by mounting debt that will be paid by future generations,
> - made a far reaching decision by opening borders to massive immigration in order to obtain cheap labor without any thought, deep analysis or without considering alternatives, like for example investing in robotics,
> As a final "fuck you" to the world, they again flipped over and now vote for xenophobic nationalists and tipped the balance in many votes..
> They now retire. Their retirement plans were set up long ago, so they retirements are going to be huge. And there's hell lot of them. And are slated to be the longest-living generation considering that they can afford top-tier healthcare.
> So suck it up and pay for their long decades of retirement, you ungrateful little shit.

Go back to your containment board and quit acting like boomers are the source of all your problems and just accept you hate your parents and it's them you really blame for all your failures

I don’t think it’s fair to blame baby boomers for everything, but they did make some permanent changes to the social landscape. For example they made delaying marriage/having kids or not doing it at all so that they could focus on their “careers” and fucking around the norm. The latter is also happening with Millenials who are following the same path and getting shunned for it by the right. Of course this mindset with the current generation would not exist without the sexual revolutions and women’s lib, which reversed the comfy nuclear family situation that existed for generations prior to the baby bummers. I understand that the latter isn’t an ideal for everyone, but now you’re like a minority of you actually want that, and the world isn’t a comfortable place to do that anymore either. All so that a bunch of college students could get high and get laid and not have to wear aprons or whatever.

Name one thing that OP says which isn't true.

>turned around their views on drugs and supported the war on drugs
You think every boomer was a hippie?

You think millenials have any real idea of what they're voting for beyond the soundbites? You think that every generation hasn't been governed by a tiny minority from the previous generation? You really think they had it easy when they were in Vietnam, facing nuclear obliteration on a daily basis or suffering through one economic crisis after another?

they caused all of that by being demagogues

>You think every boomer was a hippie?

OP here. Obviously, not everyone of them was a hippie, but it was them who experimented with drugs. It's Boomers again who were the first wave of the Disco generation.

>Go back to your containment board and quit acting like boomers are the source of all your problems and just accept you hate your parents and it's them you really blame for all your failures

Fuck you, I am not a /pol/tard. It should be obvious if you actually read my post.

'Them'. You're going to take the entire population born in a certain period as a homogenous unit? Don't lower yourself to this brainlet tier of generalisation. The world won't change if we just start attacking strawmen the size of Godzilla. Hate Disco sure. Hate hippies-turned-right-wingers sure. But irrationally blaming a whole generation is just manipulation by people using us to fuel their agenda.

Every generation grows up doing it's best, trying to make something out of life. Nobody's omniscient not can you expect them to be, they each individually made choices based on the information they had at time, which, being pre-internet, was pretty fucking limited, being promised things by politicians then finding out that they're liars. The cycle will continue, the difference is whether we set a precedent of attacking the older generations and whether we'll whine a bitch when our kids blame us for everything fucked up in the world.

Get your daddy issues to another board.

Wut. You seriously think boomers are worse than the generations that are responsible for WW1, the inter-war populist upheavals, and WW2?

>Western world
Nice buzzword. I cringe everytime I see it

Despite de death and destruction, those generation left the world as a better place than when they came. Communism is the only exception.

This board is mainly inhabited by materialist technocrats who believe we are living in the greatest time ever just because we have iPhones and dragon dildos and whose knowledge of history and the humanities comes from infographs, as most of them have no education at all or come from unrelated fields, yet they think that said sourceless infograph or a book writen by some CIA plant passing as an historian makes them an authority on whatever topic

So do not expect any kind of quality discussion

>Despite de death and destruction, those generation left the world as a better place than when they came.
How exactly?

>They are the single worst generation that ever arose in the Western world.
You're thinking of millennials.

Illness and poverty being made marginal, industrialisation continuing successfully, population rising healthily, every year was better than the previous (except for the wars, obviously).

t. boomer

Economic, scientific/technological and political progress also went on during the time of the boomers.

You mean the one generation which still haven't got its say in politics?

Getting their say doesn't equate with ignoring everyone else's opinion. Everyone else voted in a mixed-age population as well.

Yeah. AIDS was invented

Everything that's wrong about Millenials can be explained in the context of them living in a world fucked up by their predecessors - with just enough money to buy electronic toy, but nowhere enough to buy a house and support a family.

Is this /pol/ or what

>Economic
Not so much. We need to work more to get the same house or to get basic cars/healthcars.

Science to made progress, but it is mostly invested in small flat touchscreen now. The only interesting projects already took decades and no real progress was made.

Innovation is at an all time low. It's the first time since the XVth century that we are not exploring.

You need more than money to support a family. You need infrastructures like marriage and a low level of promiscuity.

>You need infrastructures like marriage and a low level of promiscuity.
No you don't.

>have baby boomer grandmother
>her house is basically a museum of nick-nacks like little figurines and shit like that, like the kind of stuff they sell at hallmark stores

why do the baby boomer women do this?

Then why does fewer men want to get into marriage?

Half of them end badly and it is basically a scheme to steal money now. Finding a women who don't have an habit to dick around and deserving your trust is now a challenge. It used to be easy.

>You need infrastructures like marriage and a low level of promiscuity.
all of which, incidentally, was destroyed by boomers

Pay your college debt you whiny little shit.

>Makes your degree more expensive AND less valuable
Bravo boomers

>It used to be easy.
It might be harder now, sure, but you said "you need...". You don't. Those infrastructures make it easier, but you don't need them.

>Falling for the college meme

Enjoy your debt sheep

Based Disco poster.

Disco is fuckin based.

Millenials don't settle down because they cannot afford the lifestyle expected for a family.

If you wife just start to cheat on you like it's nothing or demand divorce, there is not much you can to to support a family.

>HAHAHAHA WHAT A FAGGOT HE LISTENED TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS
>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

This is why there's gonna be a bloody social revolution

that debt still wouldn't be paid
tick tock, i think it just went up! and up!

Nobody cares. You can't group a bunch of people born around the same time together and blame them for every problem in the world today. If we were doing that, we could blame the Industrialists for causing irreversible global warming, or the soldiers of WW1 for fighting each other and causing Europe to crumble.

The US =/= The western world

Fuck off brainlet, go back to Facebook.

You are an absolute fucking retard to blame an entire generation of people for the supposed wrong doings of a small minority of them. Your post contained so many false generalizations and assumptions.
