Dear Millennials and Generation Z,
If you're going to blame all your own personal failings on a previous generation, at least get it fucking right and blame Generation X instead of mindlessly A-Logging the Baby Boomers.
Did you ever think that someone else wants you to hate on the Boomers and direct that cultural hatred of them for a reason? Ever stop and think that it's mostly Generation X that is screwing you over and is using the elderly and largely powerless Boomers as a scapegoat because they can't fight back?
Seriously, it feels like only me and
@-4ZURE- seem to get that the Boomers aren't the actual problem and the real problem is Generation X plus the dysfunctional nature of the average Millennial and older Zoomer (a dysfunction that was largely the result of Generation X's doings)
The Boomers who weren't in DC got fucked by the Great Recession almost as badly as the Millennials did while Generation X walked away largely unscathed. The "Boomer mindset" that gets invoked as a strawman is actually the Gen X'er mindset but with a few extra straw tidbits of information and citing that stupid "Me Generation" article that was on Time Magazine that one time in the 70's.
Hate on the Boomers all you want, but A-Logging the actual greatest generation in American history so you don't have to blame either yourselves or the shitheels in Generation X for why your life sucks is a waste of time.
I unironically love the Boomers and think they do not deserve the hate they get.
Millennials and Zoomers get what we fucking deserve for our behavior and going "OK Boomer" and reeing about how they "ruined everything" is pathetic A-Logging and proof that we get what we deserve. We don't deserve the good life the Boomers have, and I mean that sincerely and without irony.
Besides, it's mostly Generation X that lied to you and fucked you over. And you're lapping up the X'er party line and don't even realize it.
Gen X'ers were the biggest proponents of "get a college degree and you'll get a decent office job with a living wage no matter what the degree is in" because it worked for them. The Boomers still largely had blue-collar jobs and Gen X really pushed college above all else because for them, white-collar jobs were the main way you supported yourself instead of the blue-collar trades and manufacturing that were the norm for the Boomers.
Plus, Generation X was the biggest proponent of the shit that would later become Current Year. The elites in Silicon Valley sure as fuck aren't Boomers, but Gen X'ers. Most of the "normie" zeitgeist of "Democrats are always good and Republicans are always fundie Nazi meanies" originated with Generation X.
Neg rate me and give all your witty retorts but your angry internet stickers will only prove my point even further.
God Bless The Boomers and God Damn The Millennials.
Also, fuck Generation X.
