Never, ever, imagine for one second that a single drop of all the intergenerational hate directed at the Boomers is unjustified. Frankly, at this point, I’m a little shocked that they’re not all being forcibly euthanized for their assets while any still remain.
Antiques Roadshow
Boomer w/ a 60s Fender guitar: “Cost me $383. My grandkids can fight over it when I’m gone.”
Appraiser: “This guitar is worth about $12,000.
Boomer boomingly: “Weh-heh-hell! I guess the grandkids won’t be getting it!”
They aborted their children and bankrupted their grandchildren, and remain proud of their philosophy, their behavior and their self-identification to this day. On the plus side, we now understand why the Israelites were not allowed to enter the Promised Land until every member of the wicked generation had died off. The New Testament is perfectly clear on how this all-too-typical Boomer behavior is “worse than an infidel”.
And if you’re a Boomer who is behaving like every normal generation previously did and leaving your children and grandchlldren better off than you were, do try to keep in mind that this is what everyone was always supposed to do!
Roth Note: I like Vox Day (Popoli). He provides what I consider valid insights on most things. That said, I believe he must have had a terrible personal experience with his parents, or perhaps it’s a regional cultural thing (Yankees). He continually beats on Boomers. First off … everybody? Well, I’m a Boomer and I suspect many of the readers here are, as well. So I ask, do you identify with Vox’s description? I certainly don’t and I know of no other Boomers who do. We take care of our children and grandchildren. We give now while we can enjoy the pleasure of helping them, same as our parents did for us. We could pick on the Millennials, etc., but what would be the point? None of us are perfect.
