I've traveled pretty far and wide in my life time from Europe to Mid East to Canada and SE Asia. One thing that I have noticed is that boomers here in NA are the most selfish group of people I have ever met in my entire life.
They have lived the golden life no generation in the history of mankind lived and they don't wanna let go. My wife's boomer parents are the definition of it. They live in Canada.
Scared of their own shadows. If you put a gun to these peoples head and asked for an original thought on government they would repeat what CBC (their version of CNN) told them to repeat.
They live in large homes they bought for peanuts because every dollar was worth 10x what it is now and for medical coverage they will destroy 10 generations after them. They don't give two shits about what any government does AS LONG AS their 50 prescription meds are covered and they get a check. That's it.
Most of them have children and grandchildren in debt up their nose but it doesn't matter.
They will continue to stand in voting lines far more than any other demographic and vote for any faggot rat that maintains their homes (purchased for under 200k) prices moving up in an unsustainable manner.
Collapse? "Doesn't matter. I'll be dead anyway."
The worst ones in this group are the federal employees who are retired. IMO, you couldn't find a larger group of assholes in this country.
They are glued to MSM 24 hours a day. It's sickening.
EDIT: Normie boomers is what I am referring to here.
Dude, a lot of the people on this board are boomers. 😂🤣😂
Generalizations are generally wrong.
Thank you!
How do you not understand that when someone writes about a particular demographic it doesn't even every single one but rather the general?
Not all “boomers” are like that. I am a 72 year old boomer and I NEVER listen to the news! I prefer my own way of finding out the truth such as this site as well as LOCALS and Truth Social and I believe my type are the majority of the boomer generation. Don’t despair…..I have an older sister who is one like you described. I keep trying to red pill her on Facebook with pictures of the glorious memes I find which is the ONLY thing I “use” FB for. Keep the faith!
I didn't write it was all boomers. It's a general demographic and I didn't write anything factually wrong. Boomers are one of the major issues in conservative and liberal politics. Enjoyed capitalism but now in their old age want socialism to provide for them no matter the cost.
Unlike millennial's? We pay far more taxes than you ever did while the cost of living is multiple times higher. In fact, our existence is taxes lmao. Working multiple jobs while owning nothing is the hall mark of millennials.
What do you mean it's not their fault? We blame leftists for voting in corrupt governments and normies for allowing the shit to happen but boomers are not to blame for anything? This some sort of joke? lmao
Who do you think keeps the worms in the Republican party alive? 30 year olds? lol.
Also, the point of the post wasn't to blame all boomers. But the normie boomers and I'm baffled that people have no idea who I am talking about.
Classic.
My social security check is MY money that was taken out of MY paychecks for many years. Same with Medicare which is a joke because I pay $238 a month for part B PLUS another $99 a month for a supplement insurance to help pay for what Medicare doesn’t! A lot of younger folks don’t realize this. I also have to pay income tax on my Fixed income. Getting old is NOT secure and nothing is FREE!!
At least you got what a boomer is (age wise) correct. To be a boomer you must have been born right after WWII ended, my parents where boomers.
But I hear boomer thrown around in here like anyone born before Y2K is a boomer and it makes me want to slap them for their complete lack of historical knowledge.
Am already old as shit I don't need to be lumped into my parent's generation I'm a genXer. But when I complain they say, it's just a saying. Fuck you, lame asses, so is some screwed up chick who decides to identify as a man and then has a baby so now men can give birth. It's just a saying. No it fucking isn't, men are men, woman are women, Gen Xers are Xers and boomers are boomers!
End rant.
He’s right for most of us.
This looks like ramblings of a liberal/communist yankee. If you will leave the communist blue getto, you will find that Capitalist Boomers are still the strongest and hardest working Americans and are responsible for electing Trump Twice. BTW, about 40 million of us are 'were' life long Democrats, Just LIKE TRUMP. The Trump party is real and the 'REP' means nothing.
Relax. It's a fact in most major cities. The problem with you is you think everyone is referring to you personally. Boomers in shitlib wholes are far greater in number than red areas. and their children are right there with them.
You're blaming the victim. Each of our generations has different challenges brought on by the people who have real money and real control. Has your generation seen the rise of immorality and the loss of God? How about the destruction of the family and respect for parents or people in general? Have you considered that your generation just doesn't like to work, takes no responsibility for their choices, and thinks they just "deserve" things. Shall we blame you for that? Or was it caused and created by the elements of the world pushed onto you? All we can do is try to be better individually. I'm not going to blame my granny for being old, sick, rich, and scared.
Those problems are all the result of boomers not raising their kids right, boomers teaching schools and boomers setting policy.
It was boomers who started modern left wing politics lol. It was that generation.
My generation is the most taxed generation of all time. Doesn't like to work? I think you confuse not liking to work with not wanting to work multiple jobs to purchase less and less lol.
You boomers are comically hilarious.
Why is it that you can't see that human beings of an era have similar traits for a reason - and those reasons didn't come from themselves? You are denigrating an entire generation of people as if all of a sudden humans became stupid and selfish all on their own. And now from your reply, not only are their faults their own, but your faults are theirs also ... yeah comical indeed. I'm not a boomer. I just disagree with your way of thinking.
Ah yes, the old "people are people" argument when all day we talk about individual responsibility and complain about normies being too comatose to wake up and resist government. Yet, "why can't cut them a break?" for the boomers. I get it. lol
your a fucking zoomer and my grandchildren will call you that.
I'm a millennial lol. I just call it what it is.
Why does it matter? The economy is crashing as we speak, housing prices are beginning to plummet. Everyone is gonna be a lot broker in the next couple of months. Honestly a lot of wealthy people are fake wealthy in the end because they got sucked in the the credit social score system and live off of little plastic cards.
It isn't a boomer specific thing. It is a normie problem. Somewhere along the line the powers that be managed to scare people out of having opinions that might differ from the narrative (because the average person doesn't ask if the narrative differs from the truth). It is also why we gain steam in certain areas and it seems to snowball.
Look at the Ukraine situation. One week in and all the normies were praising Zelenskyy as if he were some sort of modern day George Washington. One month in and the normies were like "well, Putin still sucks", now, the only people I hear cheering Ukraine are the far leftists who still think that they were being feminist and pro-minority by voting old, white, racist, womanizer, pedoman Biden.
Unfortunately, it seems we need to do this with every topic because the media has slipped into every nook and cranny of the minds of the populace. From my experience, there are only two ways to get somebody on the MAGA/awakening train.
Option 1: Enough of their former opinions fall out of the mainstream misinformation zone. Option 2: They hit their own precipice. For example, I know some people who turned away from the left because everyone was pushing to vax kids and this couple had kids and were wondering why people were pushing to vax kids even before it was approved. Another former leftist is coming around because their stock portfolio has tanked a ton in the past month. Another anti-trump is turning because gas prices are so high.
Q's precipice means both personal and societal, I believe. Maybe the brink of economy collapse, maybe the brink of WW3? Who knows. I can't imagine it is too far off under Pedopotato though.
President Trump understands how the system works and that taking over the Republican Party is necessary. The system is completely stacked to keep these two old parties in power. It will take far less time and resources to commandeer the Republican Party than it will to create a new Party. And have a much larger impact.
That's exactly my point. Who do you think the Republicon party loves pandering to? Boomers.
Many time I have heard the tale of the boomers who were buying their first homes with interest rates in the teens. Way UP in the teens. And paid back school loans at 9 - 11% interest. So who exactly was responsible for THAT? The young adult boomers just getting started in life? Did they create that mess or inherit it?
I get tired of the pity party that every generation seems to throw for themselves. Oh me, oh my, my grandparents had it so much better. But did they, really? Nah.
We worked for everything we have. No free lunches when I was growing up. I DID get a better education that this poster.
Pity party is right!!
You're comparing double digit interest rates from a time where inflation was 700% less than it is today? lmao ok. I'm not even gonna bother trying to explain to you the difference between now and then financially.
Inflation was rampant then as well. But you have to know your history to know that. Ever heard of Jimmy Carter?
I agree with pretty much all of that but the fact that they go around buying up all the houses. Like, I don't get where this weird stereotype that all the boomers are colluding to buy up all the actual houses comes from. Most boomers, on average, own 2, maybe 3 personal use houses if they have a few vacation homes. If you want to start getting into rentals you can argue it'd be higher, but it's not like the evil boomer confederation is scheming behind all us young people's backs to screw us over.
We should really stop dividing ourselves over inane things like this that are going to be a thing of the past in the post cabal world. It's more important to unite together and fight the deep state/cabal than to argue over petty things that are actually caused by the cabal in the first place as a means to divide us all.
I don't think you understand just how much wealth the boomer generation holds. And it's not because they did anything in particular that was special. It's because of government policy creating inflation. Inflation is the reason boomers are wealthier than any generation past. And they like it so they keep voting in these rats in the republican party. They don't want a disturbance to the system.
Not trying to start a fight, there is a valid point here, but I still maintain that it's not like there's some grand conspiracy of boomers. This is honestly kind of worrying since I've seen several people start to sound like one of those /nowork subreddits where all they do is is whine about the current situation and blame the evil capitalist boomers for everything, while completely ignoring the real problem of the deep state/cabal usury system that's made things this way.
Yes things suck right now, but instead of directing your anger at a bunch of old people who're mostly ignorant of the ways of the world given their lack of technological ability, direct it at the ACTUAL cause of everything. The fed and deep state/cabal usury system.
This just illustrates how highly unusual we MAGA Boomers are, then. Because op is not describing us at all.
I'm not lol. General normie boomer
