Are boomers right that Gen X and Millennials don't take personal accountability?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 26th, 2025 1:35 PM Author: contagious turdskin Both of the younger generations blame the boomers for everything, but are the boomers right that both of these generations were inherently weak and coddled and not up to the task of taking the mantle from the boomers, and essentially allowed the boomers to rob the country blind?

Date: November 26th, 2025 1:43 PM Author: lime pit regret No one says this about Gen X. No one even remembers that Gen X exists.
The thing that millennials do that they won't own up to is Consoom. Affluent people in John Hughes movies drove Cars the size of a 2025 honda civic. Awesome "countertops" everywhere atm. Boomers don't do a good job of diagnosing this bc they just talk about lattes and streaming services. But the spirit of what they are saying is correct. Boomers consoomed too, but they had the money to do so. If you're tired of being poor, stop being Liberal and stop letting in lesser races like OP. 1960s people lived on "one income" with one car, no air conditioning, no after school activities, 3 channels, no URMs/ORMs fucking with things, and no offshoring. Millennials should work on these problems imho. That is, the problems of Consooming and Racial Hygiene. Until we address consumerism, it'll be as though David Foster Wallace died for nothing. doodikoff has so, so much hardware.... |

Date: November 26th, 2025 5:49 PM Author: stirring national striped hyena Tintcr when I’m 60 I will 100% blame millennials and Gen Z for everything. That said I have a weird, very Gen X contrarian take/strong premonition that the U.S. is too down on itself and headed for a major renaissance now we all understand how fucktarded our immigration policy has been for the last 50 years and we’re openly trying to assassinate the cartel leaders and giving “international law” the finger. I think we can definitely have another happy period of expansion starting in the late 2020s but ramping up in the 2030s, which will coincide with the peak of the Chinese demographic timebomb, Russia having to move on from Putin and Iran in a post-Khameini and possibly post-mullahs leadership crisis. By the end of the century it very well may appear to be a dead cat bounce but I strongly suspect we will moneyprint and inflate the boomers into poverty once the shoe is on the other foot and take their shit as we shove them in their graves and pile dirt on them.

Date: November 26th, 2025 2:17 PM Author: stirring national striped hyena Boomers will never admit that they played the game of capitalism on super easy mode but that’s what happened. It’s two basic things. 1) an undergraduate degree was a requirement to have any chance of living better than a paycheck to paycheck brink of bankruptcy existence and the cost of obtaining an undergraduate degree went up 10-20x between the time the youngest boomers were college aged and the time when millennials went to college. 2) for 90+% of boomers their net worth over the course of their prime earning years and early retirement was massively boosted by ZIRP that dominated Fed econ policy for the first two decades of this century. For 70+% of them this was largely a function of their ownership of their primary home and the collapse of housing starts in the U.S. after the 2008. So when boomers were at the peak of their power in government and corporations they doubled down on a policy that enriched them and exploded costs for younger generations, especially millennials and Gen Z.
It’s objectively true that Gen X and millennials were lazy and especially millennials seem to have had their brains scrambled by dopamine manipulating media. But boomers will never account for the fact that this response by younger gens was rational to the extent they realized that they were playing a rigged game that benefitted boomers. |

Date: November 26th, 2025 4:38 PM Author: stirring national striped hyena Call it an excuse or make fun of us for falling for all the boomer traps, but lawyers are like the perfect embodiment of this. Elder Gen X were graduating from law school and working as junior associates just as the 125k salary war started. The entire premise was that the boomers who ran the firms realized they were on the verge of a massive gold rush with the various financialization vectors hitting the U.S. economy and they cut off competition from younger upstarts by giving their Gen X employees 2-5 more cents out of every extra dollar and pulled up the ladder to make partner so that the entire calculus of the entry level employee had to change from an expectation that the firm was investing in your development to an expectation that the firm’s goal was to burn you out and send you packing in 3-5 years, and it took a few of those 3-5 year cycles for the Gen Xers to catch on. Hilariously they used to pat themselves on the back for using an internet 1.0 message board to share information anonymously and were dumb enough to call it “greedy associates.” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5802879&forum_id=2)#49463629) |

Europe destroyed itself for no reason. Berlin in ruins. IV French Republic collapsed. UK lost its empire. Moscow went full retard. Beijing went full retard. America ruled the waves. Goods were cheap, land was cheap, incomes were high, you could fail upwards if you were born in the 40s and 50s.
Then the rest of the world got its shit together but by that point we were hooked on easy money. We were all addicted to winning. And at that point there was only one way to keep goods cheap and incomes and stonks high, and that was mass third world migration.
