Age is just a number. I may just be 27 on paper, but I identify as a boomer and deserve my drive-in theater, $20k family home and land barge with couch seats.
Don't forget the pension
Forget the pension, buy gold !!
Those land yachts were terrifying. It felt like driving a boat, and by that I mean you never felt in control, like the road was the sea and you were at its mercy. Turning the wheel was a suggestion to the car. Breaking felt like a quiet request to a busy waiter in a loud restaurant. The whole experience was akin to a janky "I'm in danger" carnival ride.
This was my experience as a pre teen in my grandpa's ~1970 Lincoln Continental with a power/weight ratio of 13.5lbs/hp I can't imagine something with vastly more power feeling better.
(Holy hell that car weighed as much as a tri motor plaid model S)
The vast majority i know are happy to give us a dictator because they miss being young
They'd love to go back to having a dictator they never had again.
This is applicable to almost any western country.
The margin of older voters who voted for Trump in the last election wasn't that big. People think the vast majority of boomers are conservatives, but it's just a slight majority. Similarly, only a slight majority of younger voters voted for Biden.
That data might be true but I’m struggling to think of boomers I know personally that aren’t conservative and going to vote for trump. Only a couple
Well, now you know me so you can add another.
Yeah, they had the happy days. At the cost of ours. They had everything, while ruining it for the future generations. And now they are complaining they aren't getting enough money and respect. They aren't even saying sorry or anything. I mean, sure, they can earn my respect but at least they have to do something first to earn it: fucking die already.
To be fair, it wasn't so much "them", but a very very tiny percentage of them that silently took over everything and ruined if for us just as much as them.
Sure. My parents weren't one of those "few". Yet they do complain. "Oooh our pension is barely anything". "Everything is so expensive". "We can't afford anything these days". Living in a massive house, surrounded by water, having an expensive motorboat, a sailing boat and a row boat next to their house, owning a caravan and SUV to pull it, going on holiday at least 7 times a year. "Oooh we're being screwed by the next generation, we are suffering so much!" yeah, right. "We don't want to drive all the way to you, fuel is so expensive. Can you come to us? Oh by the way, we just bought new solar panels and a heat pump. And we completely redid the entire garden, do you like it?".
They are second degree war victims. Their parents were in the resistance, some of their grandparents went to concentration camps. They always told me there is nothing wrong with being gay, and Jewish people should never be discriminated.
Now they complain about all Muslim people, wanting them to be deported out of the country. They also say 'transgender' is bullshit. They voted far right. They are the biggest hypocrites out there. "You can't call me racist because I think what I say isn't racist, so no one else may see it as racist". Yeah mom, that's not how racism works.
Fuck those boomers. All of them.
Their parents fought the Nazis overseas so they could vote them into office here.
Omg kids these days am I right better work themselves out of this that's what we did and now they wanna take my pension why would they do that we did such great things for those unruly brats eating avocado toast and swearing on their internet
For some reason I get the feeling they mean the tv show.
Hits all the hallmarks of a shitpost. 👌
Yeah I'm kind of an expert at literally nothing
"lived in 2 centuries and millenniums" isn't much of a flex, since anyone born in 2000 and earlier has as well.
EDIT: I've seen this edited a few times, but never the original. What did it say that the end? looks it up
"We're just that cool." I liked "We're just racist" better.
Being 5-10 years from mean life expectancy does count as pretty old though.
*8 decades
Eminem has had a #1 song in four consecutive decades
You can tell it's an old meme, because apparently "milleniums" as the plural of millenium was only popular till the 1930s and has since been replace by "millenia"
"Back when dishwashers made a lot of noise."
"WHAT?"
"I SAID BACK WHEN DISHWASHERS MADE A LOT OF NOISE!"
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU MY DISHWASHER MAKES A LOT OF NOISE!"
