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: Paralegal Mohammad (Death, death to the IDF!) 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: SneakersSO 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 3:54 PM Author: SneakersSO only the biggest Losers did this. my peak boomer hate was during ITE when they would roast millennials in the WSJ comments section. to this day the only purpose of WSJ comments is for boomers to imply they are extremely rich while roasting Losers and the Poor.

Date: November 26th, 2025 2:17 PM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; 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 2:24 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad (Death, death to the IDF!) 1. x/millennials that rose to leadership positions in business and government largely assumed the characteristics of boomers rather than making many wholesale changes
2. explain how top leadership is STILL dominated by boomers, at some point it's on us |

Date: November 26th, 2025 4:11 PM Author: SneakersSO It's not on "us." It's on Gen X. They have a case of learned helplessness to an incredible degree. They don't understand and cannot conceptualize or visualize a timeline where they achieve Success at anything. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5802879&forum_id=2Elisa#49463504) |

Date: November 26th, 2025 4:16 PM Author: SneakersSO Think about Paul Ryan though. He's like the quintessential Gen X idiot. 1. Loses a debate to Joe Biden 2. Pretended that Trump isn't a generational talent bc the GOP establishment told him so. Tried to fight him and batted 0 3. Retired from Congress bc he sucked
There is something wrong with them, like they're dumber imho |

Date: November 26th, 2025 4:31 PM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; He’s like the perfect embodiment of what PM means re elite Gen X just copying boomers. His entire schtick was “real Friedmanite laissez faire capitalism has never been tried, so here, take this copy of Atlas Shrugged so you can remember how committed I am to the same right wing econ schtick the GOP has been running since Goldwater.” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5802879&forum_id=2Elisa#49463599) |

Date: November 26th, 2025 4:35 PM Author: SneakersSO yeah and when they try it, they fall on their faces. the only way Gen X was able to succeed en masse was by starting entire companies/industries. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5802879&forum_id=2Elisa#49463616) |

Date: November 26th, 2025 4:38 PM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; 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=2Elisa#49463629) |

Date: November 26th, 2025 4:42 PM Author: SneakersSO Good post. we take boomers for fools because they cannot use excel, word, powerpoint, outlook, and they think correlation is causation and are idiots generally.

Date: November 26th, 2025 5:00 PM Author: SneakersSO We lost like 6 million manufacturing jobs in the 2000s. 33.33% or so. Like ok fine we can all be lawyers and redline agreements for each other, or kill ourselves if we bomb OCI. But that's a lot of Engineering jobs too and everything else. A lot of Ruined small towns. And it's all the republican caucus' doing. And it all impacted Gen X. Their incomes have been Descending for 25 years. It caused ripple effects leading to millions of Gen X foreclosures, precipitating the GFC and ITE. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5802879&forum_id=2Elisa#49463733) |

Date: November 26th, 2025 5:05 PM Author: OYT Magnus ( ) by the 60s we should've transitioned to a eurostyle welfare ethnostate. but our leaders were drunk with power because they were Scum with something to prove.

Date: November 26th, 2025 5:09 PM Author: American Cattle Goy (Goy First, America Always) It's simple economics. They sold voters on free market capitalism in an era where America lucked into global hegemony. 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.

Date: November 26th, 2025 5:10 PM Author: SneakersSO There's at least some historical precedent. Reconquista. the Spanish Expulsions (Jews 1492, Muslims 1502–1609), and the Greek–Turkish Population Exchange (1923). People need to find god first and foremost imo.
Otherwise the only way to preserve phenotypes is by forming and calcifying Castes. We are already good at that tbh. Like, really good imho. |
