The biggest betrayal of the 20th century; The reason I hate the baby boomers

[Waffles731]

The baby boomers. The generation that started at the end of world war two, the generation that's on its way out and its exit is eagerly awaited by many. They blame millennials or gen Z, why? Because they don't want to admit that they fucked up. They blame my generation, when we haven't even had our chance to do anything in politics, they blame us because they want to feel justified in the mess they have left in their wake.

This Generation that is on their way out has betrayed their children and their parents.

The presidents that the Boomers were born under were shining examples of what America really can do and what its about, You had FDR, Harry Truman, Eisenhower, and JFK, those men are some of my personal Heroes, men who understood that Duty, and helping your fellow Americans comes before your own selfishness.

What did the Baby Boomers do, they took that legacy, they saw the moon landings and cut NASA'S funding, they had easy student loans and they cut it.

They had Unions to protect workers rights and they voted Reagan who went on the biggest union busting spree since the 1900s.

They voted in the Traitor Reagan and continue to get people to idolize him

They took the legacy of the Greatest Generation, the good men and women who fought and bled for it. They took what the great legacy that they were left and instead of preserving it for future generations like Eisenhower left them

They elected people who've gotten us into more useless wars and got their children and grandchildren to fight them when their parents elected a man who would not have.

And you had to get in one last punch to the younger generations

and I am here to tell you one thing,

You have taken enough from this country, you have tried your best to ruin the country that I love and would die for but for all the shit you pulled, The Generations X,Y, us millenials and the Generation Z WILL FIX WHAT YOU BROKE. YOU SPAT ON WHAT YOU WERE GIVEN AND WE ARE GOING TO LEARN FROM YOU'RE SELFISH MISTAKES. The Future Generations will thank mine but my generation is going to make sure that the future generations know just how bad and how selfish you were. That will be the legacy of your Generation. The Failure that people learned from. You Failed and thankfully your time is soon over.

Welp, seeing what my sister, a millennial, is going through in the current job field... which is quite brutal af and you have to start from young.
This is why I'm constantly pushing my parents to allow me to get a job this summer. But they are always telling me to calm down and relax... lmaooo.

Save my seat please! :P

[madhatters4]

haha seriously right. millenials are the problem? right like people my age and younger caused all the problems... nope we're just the ones forced to deal with them

[Waffles731]

I can't wait till people your age or my dads age come into power, I've seen that a lot of them have learned from the mistakes of their parents

[madhatters4]

hope it doesn't seem like self promotion but i'd like your opinion on this question I asked
www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q2230447-should-family-friends-be-able-to-petition-a-court-to-have-a-person

[helloitsmethere]

A person in their early 30s is a millennial? Wait... I'm confused.
I know I'm Gen Z because I was born in 2000 but what year does the Millennial generation start?

[Waffles731]

@helloitsmethere
No he's Gen X but the got fucked over these guys first

[madhatters4]

@helloitsmethere the definition of a millennial is "a person reaching young adulthood around the year 2000" so i turned 18 in 2000. but if i'm not a millennial that's fine... doesn't really matter to me

So true.
It seems they can't get rid of the benefits that they had fast enough.
Get rid of social programs, limit the power of workers, wealth to the wealthy, cut funding for education, create a system where you graduate with debt, all the power to the wealthy, a larger and larger divide between the rich and the poor, roll back labour laws that protect workers, lose all privacy, corporations are now people for fuck sakes, money equals free speech, tax the poor and let the rich not pay, remove all accountability for politicians and wealthy people, privatization of public works and benefits (just so things end up costing more), remapping the financial system so that the government no longer borrows collectively from the people at a fixed rate but now must borrow from private banks at compound rates thereby costing exponentially more and driving up debt, undermine peoples right to protest, deny the effects of pollution so that they can make as much money as they can and to hell with future generations who must live with it,... on and on and on.

It's no wonder millennial's would rather play video games, the world now is a shitty place.
They had a future, a limitless future, our future is bleak.

Been studying the astrology outlook on baby boomers, kindof interesting, a lot of mention of Leo. I dont really care what the theory is either way... Baby Boomers are pure evil :/ I could have added even more to your list and I'm sure many others would have liked too as well. Its super bold of you to speak out cause there are some GaG baby boomers amongst us...

[SlightlyCrazy]

Hot takes fire me up! We're the generation that got fucked !

[Blitzkrieger]

Lol the only thing the millenials will do is try to ban shit they dont like and try to legalize weed.

[Waffles731]

Weed only became illegal due to William Randolph Hearst and him banning it because hemp was a threat to his paper and logging investments

[Blitzkrieger]

LMAO you can't make this shit up. i was thinking this guy was a democrat because he banned something he didn't like and guess what? he's was a democrat.

[Waffles731]

You're a Belgian,
Seriously, you should be praising Democrats every night cause Truman and FDR are the only reason the Russians didn't kick the Germans out of your country and turn it into the USSR

[Blitzkrieger]

Yeah thanks a lot for intervening in the middle east, destabalizing the region which caused a shitload of immigrants unfamiliar with our culture to come here. Just what we needed.

[Waffles731]

Would you rather be a former soviet republic?
FYI, that was started by Reagan arming the taliban in the 80s

[Blitzkrieger]

Please. We would've never become a soviet republic. Why would they take belgium but not all of finland? That makes no sense. Both republicans as well as democrats are pro interventionism in the middle east.

[Waffles731]

You'd be a Soviet Republic because if not for my country and the U. K the people who would have freed you from the Germans would have been the soviets and the Belgians suck at warfare so you couldn't have done it

[Blitzkrieger]

Freed us from the germans. From your perspective it seems like liberation yeah. Do you do that every time, derail an argument with WWII history when the opposition says something you dont like?

[Waffles731]

I'm backing myself up with facts.
I'm pointing out what actually happened and how you were wrong,
first you blame the democrats for trying to legalize weed, then you blamed the democrats for making it illegal.
I'm pointing out that the only reason Belguim isn't in the same boat as moldova or romania is because of Two Democrats

[Blitzkrieger]

These democrats were not neoliberals unlike democrats today. "progressive" liberals want to legalize weed after a democrat banned it.

[LiveFreeorDieHard]

Democrats and republicans are names of political parties who participates have changed over the years. Just like a liberal in Europe is more like a conservative in America. Liberals used to belong in the Republican Party and conservatives in the Democratic Party. Most southerners were democrats then changed over to the Republican Party. Just like liberals moved to the Democratic Party. Also, parties back then were coalitions so they were made up up different groups and different interests.

[Blitzkrieger]

@LiveFreeorDieHard im well aware of what a shit fest American politics is.

[jacquesvol]

@Waffles731 I answered this already in another rant you posted

[Redstang88]

I'm sure our generation will do plenty of damage. Economies fluctuate, power struggles will occur regardless, and there will always be different opinions on how a country should be run.

[ColinHarvey]

BBBBBEEEEERRRRRRNNNNNIIIIIEEEEEEE!

Get a job, hippie.

[Waffles731]

I have a job, I work on a farm, I planted 10,000 garden mums, even more flowers, and an uncountable number of peppers, eggplant, tomato, and even herbs such as rosemary.
However due to the season I'm off until march, So quite your whining.

[ColinHarvey]

I'm sure it's really important work what you do with your mums.

[ColinHarvey]

"Alt-right?" Wtf is that.

[Waffles731]

Its lazy bastards who think trump will improve their lives instead of getting the hell over the fact that their former occupation is gone and not coming back and gaining new skills.
Its a combination of people like the kkk and neonazi groups, southern idiots who can't get over the fact that the ford factory closed and ain't coming back but hey, thats what you get when you vote reagan, its oil barons, of people who think a centerist like Clinton or obama is a Socialist because they clearly didn't get a enough schooling.

[ColinHarvey]

Okay. Don't get your panties too in a bunch, now.

[Darkfairie17]
