steadily becoming convinced that you have a similar sense of entitlement as your generational peers actually. what people are saying here is that boomers, on average, have worse political views.

Arbitrarily averaging together people based on whether they were born before or after noteworthy events is just another example of OJ Simpson's Paradox.

Half the reason boomers are the worst is that they're the whitest generation. Once you control for race, white zoomers aren't much better than white boomers.

Eh, I dunno, white zoomers have contributed a lot less to loving up the planet than white boomers

That's where all of this breaks down for me, even the poor boomers hosed up the planet and put us on a track to a hosed up climate before any of us were born. Yes, the rich ones were even more responsible and no war but class war. But I don't buy the #NotAllBoomers stuff, they are uniquely hosed up (and I'm including our geriatric Silents and Greatests who keep hanging on to the levers of power in there too)

How can you have these two ideas in your head at the same time, 1) there is no democratic process in the United States, it is a series of rigged shows as the ruling class utilizes both parties to ensure capital remains firmly at the wheel at all times and 2) lol gently caress those old people for voting for Nixon/Carter/Reagan etc.

By that line of thought zoomers are responsible for trump and Biden, which sure, gently caress it why not

Well yeah they're like 20, when most boomers were 20 the first climate change articles were just coming out. White zoomers will surely do their own stupid regressive poo poo that will be obvious in forty years, assuming they have similar opportunity to do so.

I could type reasons all day, the point is generation war is stupid and if you engage with it more deeply than as a silly joke then you are double stupid.

i can believe that a generation was conditioned to do the shittiest thing possible for the shittiest reasons possible by a small group of powerful individuals. i can also believe that doing lovely things because you were taught to do them does not change the material fact that you did incredibly lovely things, especially when material damage has been done to others.

okay, gonna steamvalve a little bit here because the ridiculousness of a "not all [x]" argument aside, boomers held/hold more material wealth than any generations following them but i'm sure everybody is being unfair to the senior citizens for knowing a better standard of living than we will ever know and thinking everybody else is just loving lazy.

the reductivism to satirically crying NOT ALL BOOMERS has been a conservative & neolib trope forever, as part of the greedy geezer excuse for austerity.

the irony is that by making a random set of people born between a time period your mortal enemies (aside from the handful of gay, minority, female & lower-income boomers ofc, not to mention those boomers already dead of war, aids & covid), you show the same sort of shallow analysis as the shallowest sort of libs or chuds.

boomers are not your enemies; the wealthy & the powerful are, whether it's mark zuckerberg (millennial), nancy pelosi (silent), elon musk (xer) or bill gates (boomer).

but go ahead & hate if it serves some emotional outlet, whether it's bc you hate your boomer parents, your boomer bosses, or your boomer politicians. I'll maintain to my not-so-distant last breath that the reason you were trained to hate a particular generation was a diversion from the one true war.

The services themselves suck but if you're the kind of person who rotates between like ten different meals you know how to cook it's nice in that the recipes they send you are actually easy to make and usually pretty good and you can just buy poo poo to make them yourself. Of course I didn't pay for it but as an idea provider for a week I'll admit that it did get one or two easy dishes into the rotation.

I've asked my dad many times how this didn't radicalize every single American and have never gotten a satisfying answer. The government is literally plucking you out of the prime of your life to fight for something obviously bullshit and you get back and still believe the hype? What the gently caress is wrong with you, I've never been sent anywhere and I'm ready to flush the whole thing down the toilet.

The US dependency on a relative handful of well trained and extremely well equipped troops with high tech force multipliers is not only a boon for the MIC, but also huge cope because the USG no longer thinks it can actually field a big army of conscripts because of how disobedient the soldiers and allied anti war movement was.
