Any other people would have done that. Boomers are no different than anyone before or since. It is 100% Random Chance and anyone who disagrees is a liability.

I mean, sustainability would have raised all ships

What a load of bullshit. Major self-report my friend.

Before boomers, every subsequent generation was more well-off than the previous.

Yes, it is a “self report” of me correctly understanding the world and you being too stupid to, which means you are doomed to fuck the world up even further. Congrats on your bottom of the barrel right wing idiocy!

Speaking in absolutes not only makes you a sith, it makes you ignorant too.

It is important to understand why people are the way they are in order to prevent future repeats. In the case of Boomers, I don't blame them 100% nor am I going to just chalk it up to just random chance.

If you look at the generation as a whole, the predominant qualities they have are entitlement, arrogance, narrow mindedness, and a deep lack of empathy. Those attributes are what lead them to do the things that they did with the benefits that the luck of their circumstances gave them. But where did those attributes come from? I believe again you have to blame the parents.

I believe that the root of the problems come from the Boomers' parents. After the war, they were so happy to be alive and living in relative peace, that the popped out a bunch of kids and then showered them with all the benefits that the post-war prosperity brought while also not really paying that much attention to them (who has time to work and be fully involved in the lives of 5 kids?). What did that lead to? A generation that was spoiled and had no boundaries set, so they grew up to do a bunch of drugs, have a bunch of sex, and generally think that every thing is owed to them and everyone else is wrong because they are the best.

Boomers are spoiled children.

You’re so close to getting it lmao. It is indeed important to understand why people are the way they are, which is why anyone who misunderstands boomers—such as you—is a liability. Damn, y'all right wing dumbfucks are so close no matter how far.

[–] CompostMaterial@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yet, you are so far from figuring out what is wrong with yourself or how you interact with others. For instance, I'm am about as left leaning as one can possibly be. Yet somehow you pegged me as right wing nut job. You convinced yourself that only you are right and therefore everyone is wrong and dumbfucks.

Arrogance breeds ignorance.

Arrogance breeds ignorance.

Something a bottom of the barrel worthless dumbfuck never understands about its superiors is that you are the catalyst for the reaction. I use Duck typing. That’s how decent folks type traitors like you.
