A social problem "we" didn't create. The Boomers did.
Half the Boomers didn't, either. It was they who got everyone started talking about the environment. They also built this fucking thing we're typing on. Shit, the ability to divorce people if you need to was one of their biggest breakthroughs. I have no business kissing their butts, but you millennials? are fascist about this stuff and it has to end, now. Nobody has the luxury of your bullshit.
Millennials are what, 40 now? Some freelancers writing sniveling articles about avocado toast 20 years ago does not allow you to desperately look for scapegoats to blame for everything that happens to you. Nobody cares if your parents are bad people, everyone else alive does not pay for that.
Don't fucking talk about voting until every last one of you is doing it. Fuck you for refusing to show for Clinton, THAT is on your head, so worry about your own crimes, you killed a lot of people by letting Trump through at the worst possible time, plus slacking off on all the other elections you didn't even know existed, and if you don't like that framing of responsibility, then fuck OFF about the baby boomers.
How many times now have I seen you little bitches no-show? How many chuds have you made wealthy? Rogan and a bunch of these other right-wing fucks becoming wealthy for stupid podcasts is on your generation for listening to them. How many times have you stepped up for anything but self-pity? How many more excuses? I don't care if you never get to buy a house, shut the FUCK up about it. Welcome to reality for, like, 99% of the global population.
It ends. The next time I catch one of you talking about your "struggle" making 140k a year in stupid fucking Frisco, I swear to fuckin god. Everyone understands your living expenses just fine, you NEVER shut up about it, across what? 7 platforms? Somebody is making 25k in the same fuckin town, in a restaurant you're too special to eat at, fuck your whining.
Scapegoating is a bad, bad, bad habit that your entire generation seems to share, I think it's a trauma thing. Don't care. I just got done hoping that COVID didn't kill me and my whole family over some trash job that exists so you and your family can bang the order button from safety. Fuuuuck you and your victimhood, you expected us to be all cool about that while you decided to have yourself a worker's rights movement that we weren't invited to unless we stayed obedient to your ideas for FUCK sake. It's your responsibility to process your trauma, it's nobody else's responsibility to put up with your failure to do so.
If you expect the millions of people who went under the bus for your convenience to just "get over it" and be all cool, then you will get the fuck over whatever is your problem and STOP trying to build solidarity with each other through scapegoating one group after the other. Who's next after enough Boomers are dead? We know you won't just drop that shit, it's how you are, so who has to be your scapegoat next?
None of us, globally, are ever going to be free of the conservatism that seems to be baked into roughly half of humanity, that causes all this grief.
You think Boomers are bad? Some of the people on this Earth, we can't discuss their evil without getting called xenophobic, good thing they're all moving to live closer to you, so rise the fuck above, get over yourselves, and prepare your souls for that situation.
Maybe, with some sort of coherent political will, we might be able to get a fucking leash on the wealthy, who are always at the root of our suffering, but not so long as you and your kind get played like a fucking harp, constantly spewing casual hatred on a generation of people who ultimately had no more control than yours does, and who aren't anymore or less fashy than you fucks clearly are. THEY show up to vote, YOU bitch and do nothing.
You're 40! Fuck sake! This is teenage bullshit. You should have figured this out on your own by now. Enough.
Get the fuck over it, now. Tell your fucking friends. People are holding YOU personally responsible for the Palestinian genocide because you aren't doing enough about it, so see how you feel about being in the hot seat over shit you can't control. Motherfuckers, goddamn.
As a millennial I figure this POV being criticized is more like gen z not having real life experience after college. There's a lot to be critical about from previous generations, but when it becomes vindictive, retributive, etc. it is not call. This is the type of POV and shit that arms the Republicans of accusing libs of wanting death panels for grandma and grandpa. The lemmyverse unfortunately reads like university Marx reading group populated by edgelords.
Just wanted to highlight this portion of what was most likely a very cathartic post, just so it doesn't get lost in the verbosity of the comment.
Every one of us should be asking every politician for ranked-choice voting, if nothing else. I hardly ever even see it mentioned.
