COVID19 Factors We Should Consider/Current Events

[Stump]

Boomers are the children of Baby boomers, born in the post WW2 Western World.

You don't even know who you're calling a boomer.

At the risk of causing you to post further. Can you elaborate on what you mean by victim complex and how it applies in this case.

Appears to me that all of the problems in the world, perceived or real, are someone else's fault. In this case the target is people of a certain age.

I see zero personal responsibility for what has happened so far in life.

Nope; the internet was not you.

World Wide Web.

You probably don't know the difference.

What was the point of this post? it would have been far more polite to just say "your right" rather than provide this example of boomerism.

I’m 33 years old, so I wouldn’t qualify as a boomer. While things are currently shitty, before Covid there was a huge opportunity for young people to get very rich, far richer than their boomer parents. I bought ten houses from 2015-2019 and never paid more than 80k for one; hell I even bought one for 30k. Even back then young people were bitching about not being able to buy a home, it’s bullshit. Boomers had to be raised by men who endured extreme trauma, and while they were great men, they had some serious issues they brought home from the war that their children had as a part of their lives. Then, these kids either felt pressure to live up to their fathers experiences of serving the country, or even worse got drafted to fight in a horrifying war where they did significantly more time in the field and under fire than those in the Second World War or Korea. When they got back they had a dogshit economy for the rest of the 70s and early 80s that is as bad as now. I am pissed about the way things are now, but it is frustrating to hear people bitch about boomers and act like their lives are somehow worse than those before them.

You have a serious victim complex.

I am sure this same attitude prevents you from speaking up as you take it in the ass at your mandatory LGTBQIA2S meetings.
Just keep quiet and open the other cheek. Right?
Two more weeks...we are in this together.
Off to israel you go to fight World War III; we all have to make sacrifices.
Work harder, give more, pay more... just don't ever ask who you are working for, how much is too much or what you get in return.

Don't want to be labeled a "victim", "lazy", "anti-semite", "raciss" or "conspiracy theorisss" for refusing to take the abuse, now do we?



A few years ago, I couldn't understand how the Russians let their nation be taken over by the Bolsheviks without a real fight.
Did they not believe their enemies who told them they were to be made slaves?

How could the Romanovs let themselves be murdered without resistance or struggle?
Could they not understand the Yiddish it is documented that Genrikh Yagoda's guards spoke between themselves?

I couldn't understand how the strong and proud Rhodesians with all their guns and freedoms would willingly submit their children to the status of 2nd class citizens without complaint in the nation they built.
Did they believe themselves too powerful in a big land of protected freedom?

I didn't know how Britain could watch its daughters be raped or how German villages could be made Syrian with the swipe of a pen and not even a word of complaint.
Were they afraid of the Truth?

Now, I understand.

I'm not bitching about my life being worse, I'm bitching that Boomers can go through all of that, and the best generational advice they can give is "try handing in your resume to the hiring manager directly" or "those progressive kids will get a shock when they leave college and enter the workforce haw haw haw"
