Some destructive trends started under the Greatest Generation and the Silent Generation - but the Boomers basically rode the coattails of the greatest generation.
Boomers embraced the economy of credit/debt, normalized financing as a way of existing, and were among the first to abandon the traditions of creating a family estate, scattering their progeny to the wind and into the arms of finance companies and corporate rental monstrosities designed to consume the wealth of the state and any individual unfortunate or stupid enough to enter a bidding war with their paycheck against the printing press of government subsidy.
Most boomers, as I have experienced in the work place, are good at yelling at people to do things and making themselves look important by doing so.
You also can't blame millennials for being rather bitter toward the generation which perpetrated all manner of social experiments upon them.
The true horrors of what was done TO the millennials has yet to truly manifest. Eternal renters. Destruction of the trades. Destruction of inheritance. Destruction of male-female partnerships and the basic ability of two heterosexual people of opposite sex to interact. Destruction of single-income family plausibility. A great depression in everything but name.
Then … A bunch of people riding high on the fat calf of debt we are obligated to pay on and our children (lol, what are those?) Will be destroyed under…. Those people want to sit and cast insults at millennials as though the millennials all taught themselves they were snowflakes or spontaneously came up with ideas of entitlement.
A whole generation and a half have been outright brainwashed under the watch of the boomers who sit back and mock the product of their own creation.
This isn't "oh, you are old, therefore it's your fault." It's literally your fault. Collectively. The prosperity boomers congratulate themselves on was contracted upon a debt their children and grandchildren were scheduled to pay. Calling them stupid and incompetent is an act of forgiveness, to be perfectly honest.
I mean - fuck - welcome to the awakening and the party. Glad to have you here… Where we go one and all that - but if there isn't a miracle fucking cure to give millennial women a ten year extension on their ovaries - we are destined for one of the greatest population collapses in the history of humanity - a genetic truncation on the scale of an extinction level event.
I don't let members of my crew who nearly get us all fucking killed go back to their rack feeling like nothing out of the ordinary just happened.
