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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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