    The Boomers were victims of the Military-Industrial Complex just like the rest of us. After WWII, the Industrialists didn’t want to give up that sweet war profit, so they institutionalized it.

    The Boomers grew up in that post-war boom, living lives of abundance before the hammer dropped. It was a great time for white nuclear families. Who can blame them for wanting that to continue?

    Unfortunately, they actively tried to prevent others from accessing that same great life, and that’s where the problems really begin.

      I do understand what are you saying. My fucks come from the fact that they, not all but the absolute majority of them, actively pulled that fucking ladder up and made every generation after them bear the horrible fruits of their decisions. They can fuck off. If I don’t have to speak to them ever again (because they can never be wrong, either way), I am very content with such outcome.
