As someone who works retail, I don't really like Boomer apologia (hexbear.net)

"Generational politics is bull..."

90% of my bad experiences with customers come from Boomers. Something about being born in that era makes you an entitled, impatient dickhead.

I had a very bad day at work if you couldn't tell.

Lead. In the gas. In the pipes. Maybe.

I think the only ‘maybe’ might be to what extent it caused it. It sure isnt to account for all of the problems with the Baby Boomer generation but it sure did account for some of it. How much? I think thats the only unknown.

This generation had two channels and radio to fill them with 100% Capitalist brainworms. It was impossible to know anything factual about the USSR or China back then. Where would you go to learn about that stuff, and why would anyone step out of the monoculture to do so?

And social media for boomers has made sure that they will never fall outside of that information bubble again as long as they live, except now with ten times as much fearmongering and ragebaiting.
