It’s the young that are fucked not the old
It's not really young or old that are fucked. It's still the poor and rich, and guess which one is fucked. Over time the wealth gap is widening which sucks for younger people. But it's still a rich and poor problem, and I think we should have sympathy for those with financial insecurity regardless of age.
Ok yes I agree good point. Just like the left vs right instead of rich vs poor… I can’t get through to my parents or uncles on this so it’s pent up. I just don’t want there to be some we have it the same when I just haven’t experienced that
The numbers aren't great. Turns out the boomers fucked their own too.
Good.
No. Needless suffering for the greed of others is never good.
You say "needless" I say "completely self inflicted". I say "good" because they're actually experiencing consequences of their shitty behavior. Will it make them decide to do something else? Probably not but it's nice to see someone getting their just desserts.
In an era of rampant voter disenfranchisement I don't think we can blame the victims for their predicament. Post World War 2 leaders got the electorate they wanted by making leftists and minorities criminals.
Imagine thinking "leftists" and "minorities" when people are talking about "Boomers".
I'm sorry are you of the opinion that there are no retirement age BIPOC people?
I'm sorry are you of the opinion that BIPOC represent the majority of Boomers? Because it kinda sounds like you're trying to get white Boomers to ride the coattails of well deserved sympathy and consideration for a minority population within that generational age group. That's pretty pathetic honestly.
Most boomers are white, procorporate, selfish, or general shit people. The fact that you even think "leftist" when describing that generation is delusional.
Dude, what are you smoking? Is this just some desperate effort to defend your ability to shit talk an entire generation for something a wealthy minority imposed on them, across generations?
We both are.
It's both
Boomers got cheap houses, well paying jobs without higher education, and will be getting out largely without dealing with the consequences of severe climate change. It’s not equal in the slightest
I didnt say it was equivalent
Well it ain’t both either. Ones fucked. The young ones. The other had it good.
There are more rich boomers than anyone else. They're are also poor boomers who didn't vote for this shit. You can't damn whole generations. Nō generation ia a monolith just like no race, nation, gender or religion is
I’m not damning but I’m not giving sympathy either. The young get my sympathy. The old had plenty
Did I claim it was equal?
