I've written in many places about my theories on the Boomer problem and why I think it came to be. Instead of my usual big block posts, I'll try to sum up previous thoughts on the subject:
- The Great Generation, as good as they were, got socially soft extremely fast in the 1950's post WW2, discipline was there but began to decline RAPIDLY
- Great Generation also grew up with far less wealth, both objectively and relatively to modern terms, and were far more materialistic, stemming from a society of hardship and deprivation, and imprinted this upon their children. The parents who grew up with little spoiled the Boomers and also taught them that wealth and possessions are super mega fucking important, living vicariously through their children in this aspect.
- Great Generation also lived vicariously in terms of education, accomplishment, career, money, told them to focus their entire existence around things they failed or could not do. College is now one of the focuses of life, not just because back then it DID help earn mega bucks, but also because "I'm the first in my family to go to college". Boomers were the first generation that was being told that marriage should be put off, career comes first, ego comes first, that children should be few and put off, family comes second to the almighty dollar and career
- Great Generation did these things to the point they told their daughters to go into the work force to earn more of those Almighty Dollars. Come to think of it, things became so focused on career and money one comes to realize that the Boomers were handed very few of the many morals and traditions of their forefathers; work ethic went from being an important moral to THE ONLY MORAL.
One day we all wonder how a generation of spoiled brats grew up into a purely selfish generation of dipshits who never matured past the age of 16, how they could be so unhelpful to their own families in both their ancestors and descendants, how we could get people who could indeed work hard and be fruitful but failed completely and utterly in every single aspect of life and civilization and is self righteous to all valid critizism because "I had a job you know, and I earned lots of money, and bought lots of nice things, and I pay my bills".
Great Generation fell into the love of money that it imprinted into its children. GG turned out to be good people but miserably shitty parents who raised miserably shitty kids. Boomers are victims of their soft parents whose visions of the future were so retarded, insanely optimistic and impossible that the Boomers were doomed from the start.
Indeed, the Boomers got the best of everything. They inherited huge wealth from their parents, spent their children's and grandchildren's share of that inheritence, then borrowed to fund themselves against their children and grandchildren. They got the best of the new technology and vast industrial wealth that saw commoners come into almost every luxury imaginable, and lived in the last of the Good Society when it was still conservative and family oriented when thew grew up.
Don't expect a generation that lived so well, in such great times, to ever emerge from that mindset of that era, because it was far too good for them to acknowledge that its over, and things are getting so shitty that they don't want to acknowledge how bad its gotten.
As much as I hate the newer generations, I'll admit they are not evil, just the product of shitty parenting. Also, they grew up in endless wealth, which had the one benefit that has made them better than the Boomers, even the Great Generation in one key area, wealth and material possessions are no longer important or special, they have grown up around abundance and aren't infatuated like the previous generations.
Most of all, they are growing up as they are being overrun by foreigners. While the Boomer pretends the invasion isn't happening, as he remembers back in the good old days when it was all white or almost all white, and won't recognize and get out of that defensible bubble of living in the past, the new kids know how bad its getting and have a straighter head on their shoulders.
This generation might find the strength to fight, may wake up from the slumber of easy living, might just fight back against degeneracy to some extent. Spoiled, soft, weak, they are no great generation so to say, but all the overuse of the word 'awoke" is accurate. The Boomers sleepwalk into suicide, the pussies of the new generation might fight back.
