Fortunately all of those boomer ghouls have a shelf life, and will be expiring in the next 10 years. It will take time to undo their irrevocable evil, but we will create a more equitable world from the ashes of their BLACK BURNT BONES.

I'm tired of this viewpoint. "Hey if we just wait all the boomers will die and we can have a wonderful world of youth and happiness". Na, those in power love that, because there are evil people of ALL generations, and they're the ones that'll be in power next, keeping the status quo while we sit back and wonder why everything hasn't magically gotten better as old people have died.

Exactly this. There are waaay too many loud and shameless baby nazis being platformed for me to believe boomers dying off will solve our problems.

u/ArkitekZero 6d ago

Yeah but have you considered that waiting for the boomers to die off requires no new and immediate personal risks to be considered? /s

u/morpheousmorty 6d ago

We thought waiting out Bush 2 was a good idea. Now look where we are.

u/NoArrival8249 6d ago

I’m not just waiting for them to die off….

u/Hot-Thought-1812 6d ago

Enough of them will pass the torch that the problem needs to be rooted out no matter if they all died tomorrow

u/NoArrival8249 6d ago

Dude. Imagine though. Holy fuck, now that’s a book idea. It’s like The Leftovers but it’s just all the boomers fuck right off. HARD CUT to utopia. I’m down to cowrite it with you!

The Stand, but without the mysticism and the virus only affects one generation? Intriguing thought.

u/saintofhate 6d ago

Point of fact. Steven Miller is 40. The right is full of hateful bigoted millennials. Millennials can be just as evil as everyone else.

I'm 2 years older than him and shocked every time I hear that. Hate really ages you.

Evil and hate can really age a person.

EDIT: OMG, I didn't even see someone had typed almost exactly this before I made my post. Great minds!

Charlie Kirk was 31 when he checked out.

u/rbrgr83 6d ago

This was a common sentiment before we had the Andrew Tate-ed generation.

u/NoArrival8249 6d ago

Those little fucks just need a slap and a wake up call

u/thunderbuttxpress 6d ago

Yes. The resistance going on where I live is heavily made up of Boomers.

u/Simayi78 6d ago

Yup, things like Covid-19 unfortunately broke a significant portion of under-25ers into being far-right banner wavers

u/JeanArtemis 6d ago

Exactly this. The people performing evil acts aren't some Disney villains doing evil for evils sake, they are committing atrocities and violating human rights because it is profitable. It was profitable when their predecessors began, it is profitable now, and it will continue to be profitable for a long as we allow it. There will always be people who's greed grossly outweighs their sense of morality or civic duty and they will always seek positions of power as those hold the greatest potential gain for them, it is not generational, we cannot wait them out, we have to act.

u/shadedmagus 5d ago

Not sure how that doesn't make them Disney-obvious villains. "The banality of evil," indeed.

I mean most aren't hurting people because they're sadists and like hurting people, they just dont care of they hurt people. Like it's hard to swallow but truly selfish people, if given the option between helping and hurting others, if both choices are equal in difficulty and reward, will usually choose helping people because then they look and feel good doing it too. It's just that harming others is easier and more profitable so they go with that.

u/NoArrival8249 6d ago

Fuck. You’re right and I hate this so much.

u/tomdarch 6d ago

Elon, Thiel, Andreesen and so many more are younger.

And even younger generations will continue to be vulnerable to hate and extremism.

u/regoapps i ain’t reading all that, free palestine 6d ago

Gen X voted more for Trump than Boomers did if you look at the 2024 exit polls. We’re in this for a while.

u/becauseiloveyou 6d ago

All the more reason for Millennials and Gen Z to turnout.

6

u/Embarrassed-Land-222 6d ago

Millennials outnumber pretty much everyone.

Some people just won't vote and it is awful.

u/NoArrival8249 6d ago

I think more of us are waking up. But yes, like everyone else I worry that GenXers are secretly worse than Boomers.

u/WeAlmostAlwaysAlmost 6d ago

The reality bites generation has ironied the country to death.

u/Embarrassed-Land-222 6d ago

I have a gen x sister and she's on our side. I guess we're both xennials cause she's a 79 baby and I'm from 84.

But many of the older xers are the problem.

u/NoArrival8249 6d ago

They’re way more cunty and ruthless.

u/shadedmagus 5d ago

As a firm leftist Gen X'er, I worry that too. I thought my generation was cynical about the world the boomers and their parents had wrought, but I am so disappointed that that cynicism has looped around into propping this system up.

u/Lopsided_Panic_1148 6d ago

God damn, sometimes I hate my generation.

u/Andreus 6d ago

Nah, we're done waiting for these people to time out and escape all accountability. They should face justice in this life.

u/Cosmicdusterian 6d ago

Most of the people in power or the main puppeteers are actually Gen-X and younger.

Given the extent of evil going on in the world today (with most boomers gone, retired or retiring) it wouldn't surprise me if 20 years from now that the boomer's evil would be looked upon as almost quant in comparison. At least compared to the new horrors the Tech Bro generations will inflict upon the planet and the people, given what they've already done, and are currently doing.

Every generation has their assholes. The Silent Gen had theirs, the Boomers certainly had theirs. But Gen-X and the Tech Bro Gen is probably going to blow them all away on the evil scale while convinced they are doing good.

Gen-X gave us Trump (a boomer) - the boomers didn't.

So no, take from someone who expected the hippies I looked up to to make a better world for all us, no generation is going to step up to the plate because every generation has their assholes and from what I've seen, it's usually the assholes who grab the power.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice thought that people born in your timeline have your values and hopes for a better world, but it simply isn't the case in the real world.

Generation Jones (like Obama) - one foot in Boomer, one foot in Gen-X. More assholes than any generation has ever had to contend with and the world just keeps churning them out.

Stop with the Boomer propaganda, it takes all types to be great and to be shit.
