I am 36, I was raised by Boomers and as a kid whenever you fucked up they would tell you to be responsible
But personal responsibility is a conservative value today. They generally want to be responsible for themselves and have the government do less for them and get it of the way.
So how did we get raised by people who seemed conservative but were actually leftists in the end?
I agree - mainstream to conservative boomers (i.e. not dyed-in-the-wool hippies or lifetime union types) are basically too trusting of the ‘establishment’, including gov’t, medical, TV, news, and education etc.
Agree, they were raised that way (to trust). That trusting nature has been twisted and used against them on many fronts.
The programming has been going on for a long time now and is difficult, or near impossible to break in my experience.
There is another element not discussed much. There is an obvious ‘influence campaign’ on social media and elsewhere training younger people to ‘hate’ boomers. Basically blaming boomers for all of their own generations problems. National debt, housing prices, social security, pensions, etc. These foibles brought to us by the cabal are now being used to turn generations against one another. ‘Boomer Hate’ or whatever you want to call it is real and, in my opinion, being fomented & engineered to divide people.
