Why do boomers like to ignore systemic problems and blame individuals as if they have all the power?

Why does your age group like to bitch and moan online rather than working on themselves in the real world? Why are all your problems always the fault of some external culprit and not your fault or within your control to change? It's "the system" or "society" or "women suck". That's a nice nebulous "bad guy" to blame it on. That way you never have to deal with it and you can bitch and moan forever. YOU have the power to control how YOU respond to and approach the things that affect you. Or you can sit on your couch clicking away and swiping left on life. Best of luck changing your fortune from a couch. There is no respawn feature in the game of life.

They didn't fight in world war two they had it so easy all the government, all their kids money, their grandchildrens money, their parents money, they wasted all of it on two pointless wars in the middle-east

And then blame it on a 12 year old Gen Alpha who can't even work yet. They mostly project their insecurities into others.

The peak of civilization is over and no matter who blames whom, it won't change anything.
It has to fall before it can rebirth and rebuild. Of course there is the risk our civilization ceases to exist.

Maybe that's how they were raised.

• Could be that they don't believe these problems are real?
• Could be that their culture taught them that the individual is prime?
• Could be that sociological concepts are more popular now than ever, due to internet spreading ideas all over the world?

No object permanence. Like a child playing peek a boo.

We don’t. We believe in being accountable for your actions. You’d rather make up an excuse why you’re a whiny sniveling crybaby than be held accountable for your actions and voting

He's saying he hates that he's being held responsible for his decisions and would rather blame "systems" for his life failures.
