The sun is setting
Sacrificial Lamb nobly attempts to explain to the Boomers why they are, and will probably remain, the most despised generation in recorded human history, before they pass from the stage:
You Boomers always had more wealth, more opportunity, and more political power than us younger generations......and your narcissistic stupidity caused you geezers to squander it all. If current trends continue on, then most of the people that will end up taking care of you Boomers in nursing homes will be low IQ, white-hating black Africans....here in a previously white nation. No joke. I know this because I have seen this multiple times, with my very own eyes. You Boomers wanted cheaper labor, and you got it.
We are all suffering from an endless parade of Boomer selfishness and Boomer mistakes.
Stop being defensive, and take a hard look in the mirror. In case you haven't noticed, we're going to have a full-blown civil war soon, and you Boomers need to acknowledge your role (wittingly or not) in creating this increasingly dystopian and Luciferian world that we live in today.
Oh, and people don't bust you Boomers' chops for being old. They bust your chops for being the most narcissistic, selfish, and delusional generation in modern history. People bust Boomer chops because you guys inherited a nation of laws, tradition, ethnic and racial cohesion, and prosperity....AND THEN JUST THREW IT AWAY, even when your adult generation still had demographics in your favor. You may have been (((manipulated))) into doing so, but that is not an acceptable excuse.
Can you now understand why some people might hold a slight grudge, or at least deliberately taunt you Boomers?
It's time to take a hard look in the mirror, geezer.....because the sun is setting soon.
Generation X doesn't hate its grandparents or its kids. The Zoomers don't hate their Gen-X parents. But both generations, as well as the Millennials, despise Boomers. Indeed, the small minority of Boomers capable of both a) generational self-reflection and b) self-identification rather than generational identification despise their fellow Boomers too.
There is a reason that "Boomer" is now used unironically as an insult by the two youngest generations, and that reason is that being a Boomer is observably synonymous with narcissism, selfishness, short time preferences, indifference to one's posterity, technological and temporal cluelessness, lack of gratitude, and generational identification.
If you're a Boomer, instead of asking yourself if this is true of you, try asking yourself if it is true of your acquaintances of an age with you. Do they sacrifice for their children and grandchildren or do they live in nicer homes than their kids do on the other side of the country? Are they leaving bigger and better legacies for their descendants than their ancestors left for them or do they brag about spending their children's inheritances? What sort of world are they leaving behind them? Will the Earth be a better place for them having been here or not?
The sun is setting, Boomer. Isn't it time you stop lying to yourself about how your generation changed the world and face up to the material consequences of your generation's actions? Wouldn't it be better to spend your final chapter doing whatever you can to rectify the damage that has been done over the course of your lifetime?
