The Chinese youth that slaughtered their parents and grand parents, aunts and uncles during Mao's cultural revolution probably had a few words like "boomer" that they used too. It's fucking disrespectful and divisive.. Especially trying to pass any blame for current affairs to them, our elders, when it's clear now that they were also victimized/manipulated by the DS. ..I am thankful that I had the time and opportunity to wake up to what's been going on, and do something about it.
Edit: Economy Steve memes as example blamed older generations like they were 100% culpable and weren't at all just trying to survive their circumstance. https://thelibertarianrepublic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/old-economy-steve2_3.jpg
I can't stand it, either. Especially coming from my fellow Millennials. We are the WORST generation of all time lol. I can't stand 90% of people in my generation. I'd much rather hang out with Boomers/Gen-Xers/Zoomers lol
Same.
Me being a proud American, plus the fact that i'm homeschooled(thank God), means I would take a logical/philosophical discussion with an adult, rather than talking about literally ANYTHING with another person my age any-day all week.
Oh you're so lucky! My husband and my best friend were both homeschooled. If I ever have kids, I will definitely go the homeschooling route. It's honestly superior in every way to the education I got. Not that I'm stupid or anything, but public school wastes so much time. I could have gotten a better education in half the time. It's ridiculous.
I love homeschooling families. Some of the smartest young people in this country.
It sounds like you are squared away with a good head on your shoulders. Keep it up. You are much needed in your generation.
Aw thanks! I was raised by amazing parents. I love Jesus which has kept me out of trouble lol
I also got married fairly young (22) which helped me grow up a lot faster than my peers who partied through their twenties. :)
Jesus and intact families will do that. All the best to you dear.
I’m a millennial technically, but I identify as Gen X ;)
The first generation to grow up with the internet as a given didn't go so well. I have much more hope in Gen Z (Zoomers)
Ok zoomer
I'm not a Zoomer. I'm a Millennial lol
My niece and nephews are all Zoomers and they are awesome. I love talking to them and hanging out with them. They are so much fun. I just find most people in my generation so annoying. I've always had trouble making friends with ppl my own age. I just don't get them lol
And those boomers would be right. Keep in mind, not all of us played a part in this mess. Quite the opposite actually; we fought against it by living within our means, saving for the future, giving back to instead of taking from our country, neighborhood, our families. The American Dream. You get the idea.
Blanket blame, cant blame a race? people offended by blaming entire religions? just blame a whole generation of people lol, makes no sense at all to logical thinkers.
Other than your post we dont get the boomer slams here so I would appreciate it if you did not post that. I am a boomer and for people to tell me I am responsible when we did not use plastic we used glass, I did not use pampers i used cloth diapers, I had no cell phone no bank card no computer no digital anything. We were not the ones that wanted all of this crap that was our children that had to have everything.
Its just good-natured ribbing in 99% of cases. Chill.
The idea that we can change the world by fixing up (or eliminating) other people is one of the worst, most devilish ideas ever conceived. The 20th Century proved that this idea only leads to a pile of corpses - millions of them.
If you want to change the world you have to start by changing yourself.
Thanks for putting words to what is in my mind and heart. Appreciate it.
Suck it up buttercup. Thicken that skin anon.
Rebelling against their millennial parents?
