    Yeah boomers kind of are the problem they were handed much of what they have on a silver platter and then punch out at anyone else that did not get a silver platter and chalk it up to personal failure

      They were lucky to be born in a period of relative wealth, and most don’t get why it’s more difficult these days, but they are not responsible for the fact that you get generations have it harder then them.

      Those who have all the power are very happy when the plebs fight among themselves you know.

        Are you kidding? The people who are responsible are almost all boomers

        True but also who was voting in Regan? John Howard? Everyone was happy to vote in the social rapists for a cheap paycheque as long as their specific demographic wasn’t getting raped and now we’re all paying the price.

      Also when we say that things were handed on a silver platter, we need to factor in the western oppression over the east.

      The point I am trying to make here is just to ensure Western bommers have it on a silver plate, the Eastern boomers had to suffer for it. Now we live in a world where everyone except Western boomers are suffering! The hints capitalism being shit was evident and the west did not do anything to change it now is the time for a fresh new world

      Like the feather of Mario World, the cycle of good/bad times and good/bad men/people, there is the oscillation, but a general upward status.

        It’s been generally downwards for about 25 years now actually, still waiting on that oscillation. Assuming that just because things kept getting better up until the 90s so they must start getting better again soon is the kind of attitude that’s enabled capitalism to run rampant and ruin our society and our planet.

          Trump’s a cop. We’re doing something. Wheat, weeds, remember like We said We would do?

          The Earth doesn’t exist. Everything reconciles with the Omega. Focus on you and the entanglements keeping you from being the one stopping “the downward,” as you perceive it. Of course, that involves defending your position.
