How much disagreement is there as to the notion that the WWII era generation being “The Greatest Generation?” I’m quite sold on that concept, personally.

Oh frick off you narcissistic holier twat. That’s all you Boomers are. It’s like fricking 30% of Millennials that do the victimhood complex. It’s 90% of Boomers that do the narcissism and completely self centered bullshite.

Because I don't agree with you that the boomer generation is full of villains and ruined your life, that makes me narcissistic and self-centered?

LMAO! You are such a driveling dripping vagina. The fact that you feel the need to lecture anyone is laughable. I have no trouble sleeping at night knowing that at least you have a narrow minded hard on for boomers. You must have fallen on hard times. Transition not going the way you thought?

I imagine there's some recency bias in that, but certainly of all the generations I have direct knowledge of - that's the case.

Every generation has it better/easier than the previous one. I'm not sure why that causes such heartburn for some, but it's the result of remarkable technological advancement and silly to deny.

lmao - seriously, wtf happened to you?


If you put out like ten million dollars in credit card debt and then upon you dying you force your kids and grandkids to pay YOUR bills, would you not say that’s villainous? Because that’s basically what your generation has done.

Since 2000, there have been more Gen-X/Millennials of voting age than Boomers, and that difference has grown from the point to today where it's what, 2-to-1?

In 2000 the national debt was about $5.5T.

Today it's $35T.

If you're going to bitch about the national debt you're burdened with, bitch at your own generation.

You understand it's the younger generations electing all these progressives, right?

What a stellar job you fricking scumbags have done. You’ve put us thirty five trillion dollars in debt, got us on the brink of World War III, could have a viral apocalypse at any time, you started endless wars making fricking over Gen X and Millennials, you put down pennies for your homes and education compared to the hundreds of thousands we will due to your reckless spending, fricked over Gen Z and the generation below them over Covid, among many several dozen other atrocities you’ve done to the world and other generations.

If that’s not failure, what does failure look like exactly? You Boomers are so fricking out of touch and have no idea how much the other generations hate you.

And their reps until recently have largely been Boomers and Democrat and Republican Boomers made it almost impossible for them to be ousted through rigging elections. Still mostly the Boomers fault.

See, this is why your ilk can't be taken seriously. You have no backup for any of that shite spewing from your vagina yet you preach it like it's fact. Maybe your brain washing will eventually lead you to a level of BDS so bad you'll just explode. Maybe.

We hate your generation. Yall are kindred spirits with millennials. Bad job on nearly all fronts except for birthing and raising Gen X.

My man, you need to take a Xanax and chill the frick out.

Your "boomers ruined everything for me!" argument is eerily reminiscent of the left claiming systemic racism ruined the black community and it's leftover Jim Crow laws and slavery still impacting that community today. It's an excuse to push your failure on someone else.

This is coming from a millennial at the top end of the age cutoff. Trying to lump a segment of people together to blame all your problems on is weak bullshite, and is the anthesis of conservatism and individualism.

In short, if you replaced just a few words in your posts throughout this thread with things like "systemic racism" or "whiteness" or "nationalism" or "white supremacy" you'd think they were copypastas from DU.
