@doyounearme Fun fact completely unrelated. Lesbians have higher rates of domestic violence than straight couples and gay couples.

Low key I've met a lot of lesbians that I don't even think like women, they just hate them less than they hate men.

Seriously, 3/4 of the "shortcomings" you listed of my generation. Are shit we have ZERO CONTROL OVER. How the hell is inflation my shortcoming? How the hell is unaffordable housing my shortcoming? How the hell is a terrible job market my shortcoming?

Newsflash, a lot of younger people want to work from home because they CANT AFFORD to live in the cities.

[Luke Greywolf @GreywolfLuke]

Oh yes. How exactly is it my fault that previous generations sent blue collar manufacturing jobs overseas economically depressing an entire region (the rust belt), how is it my generations fault that the housing market has skyrocketed past wage growth to the point most of us can't afford homes? how is it my generation's fault that the nation has been flooded with foreign workers to undercut blue and white collar workers? How is it my generation's fault that the regulatory landscape has ballooned over the past 40 years to the point entrepreneurship is heavily discouraged if not outright punished.

I'm so fucking sick of you old assholes condescending to everyone. You act like everyone is just lazy if they're not succeeding as well as you did. Congratulations your kids are successful. They either have insane college debt or you gave them a huge leg up by covering it for th

I couldn't afford college and recognized it as a debt trap so I worked my way up to $100k a year after changing careers. I had multiple jobs for most of my 20s and when I wasn't working multiple jobs I was running my own business working 80+ hours a week to keep lights on and employees paid. All for a genX piece of shit to stab me in the back and break his contract to steal the equipment I was 2 months away from paying off after I'd been working myself to the point of my health beginning to fail so I never missed a payment. I lost my entire business so a divorced GenX shitbag wouldn't get caught committing loan fraud because he'd taken out loans against the trucks he was leasing to own to me (that I had nearly paid off).

You see someone younger than you having the audacity to notice the world is fucked and you just assume "they must be lazy POS". Reality is the people in my life tell me I need to work less. But that's a luxury I can't afford. I'm probably going to d1e at a younger age than you are living at right now because of all the shit I've been through.

I spent 10 years trying to "just work harder" enough to actually get ahead. And I'm gonna d1e in my 50s because of it.

You and your silver spoon kids can get stuffed. I actually did all the bootstrapping you old people fetishize so much (but never really did) and my parents might even outlive me because of it.

@ronrule @MattWith2Tees $100 a day on 1099 income is practically minimum wage. Except if she were full time minimum wage somewhere she'd probably at least have some employment benefits.

[Luke Greywolf @GreywolfLuke]

It's not only happening to me, it's happened to most of my generation. Do you really think large swathes of millennials and GenZ just woke up and decided they didn't like the boomers because it's a psyop? (I see so many of you pushing that comically stupid narrative) or do you think it's far more likely that after decades of disrespect and condescension they're all fed up?

[Luke Greywolf @GreywolfLuke]

The main difference though between the real story you told and the story of Lord of the Flies is the children in your story were all friends who knew and liked each other before their ordeal. The children in Lord of the Flies were from different schools and varying ages so they would naturally have far more conflict.

LOTF is gratuitous for sure. But children are also vicious to each other sometimes. And IIRC Piggy's death wasn't completely intentional (as in they didn't intend to kill him. But it's been 15 years since I read LOTF so I could be wrong) . Which squares with when children tend to injure other children it's almost always due to a mistake

@Talliy @EightTrck Tbh I don't think Michael Knowles is on the radar for most Lefties, he's not the shit stirrer that Matt Walsh is or has the media presence of Ben Shapiro so I imagine this interview flew under a lot of radars, I only saw that it happened because I occasionally listen to Michael.

[Luke Greywolf @GreywolfLuke]

Are you also a boomer (Or even genX)?

Cause that's the one thing I've witnessed from every boomer crashout. They almost only do it towards younger people. They treat older people like human beings and reserve all their vitriol for the younger people they perceive as beneath them. They still act like millennials are unruly teenagers when they're all at least in their 30s now.

Enough times working in service I'd have a boomer crashing out over something stupid and being disrespectful towards me as I politely tried to explain what they needed to do or why I couldn't just do what they wanted. Only for an older manager (or even an older coworker) to come out and explain the exact same thing, and then they'll accept it cause a real person (someone closer to their age) said it to them.

[Luke Greywolf @GreywolfLuke]

@VThomas1954 @HollyCabot Over 40% of the Boomers got divorced. Are you saying broken homes made good parents? Cause every single recorded statistic says otherwise.

[Luke Greywolf @GreywolfLuke]

Baby boomers have the highest divorce rate of any generation ever. No child raised in a broken home had good parents. So its significantly higher than 2% were shitty parents. Likely closer to 40% going off divorce alone.

I've been a cop and worked in service industry. Nearly every single time I had a sober person being completely unreasonable and a pain in the ass, it was a Boomer. I've traveled through 48 states and 3 Canadian provinces and the majority of the time I see someone harassing a service worker, it was a Boomer. as a professional driver I'm nearly hit by a Boomer every week cause so many of them have giant RVs they have no idea how to drive.

I've met plenty of nice Boomers, but I've had more terrible interactions with Boomers than every other generation combined. I'm sure there are lovely people even in this post. But you'll ignore what a significant portion have done and that's why young people are annoyed at all of you.

Regular millennials hate the snowflake millennials and criticize them regularly. Regular genZ hate the brain rot genZ and mock them. But criticize the POS boomers that sold out their kids and every boomer comes to attack you instead of holding their own accountable.

[Luke Greywolf @GreywolfLuke]

And all my friends parents that did similar shit? And the overwhelming majority of boomers that treated me like trash just for being younger? My silent generation grandparents were more considerate of me than my own parents. Sorry but a lot of the boomer generation cares more about their money than their own children and grandchildren.

[Luke Greywolf @GreywolfLuke]

@TIlacqua64279 @HollyCabot Yes. I even said they were generalizations. It's called observing trends. I'm sure you've never made generalizations about genZ or Millennials

@MoFoxxies @Snt_Mikael Just learn completely different skill sets bro, it's not like animation and 3d modeling are worlds apart from drawing 2d images. Just have years of free time to teach yourself whole new skills. Who need a job anyways? /s

[Luke Greywolf @GreywolfLuke]

See that's the problem. (Generally) The boomers (and genX to a lesser degree) spent their entire lives pursuing "line go up" (as in reading a chart without the context of reality) economic focus that has had an overwhelmingly negative effect on the younger generations.

-Manufacturing jobs outsourced overseas? Who cares the line went up!

-College tuition skyrocketing far beyond inflation? But the line is going up!

-Why hire Americans to work entry level/manual jobs when we can hire immigrants and foreigners to do it cheaper, that makes the line go up faster!

-Building cars/appliances/etc from quality durable materials and engineering them to last? How about instead we make them from the cheapest components possible and engineer fail points so you have to replace them every 5-10 years. That really gets the line going up!

-Housing prices are so overinflated that many young people are locked out and just affording the property tax is becoming a burden for 65+? But a market value correction would make the line go down! I need a tax carve out so I can keep my overinflated home value! (Which will increase the tax burden on younger people cause the local governments aren't going to reduce their spending).

Can you see where it becomes frustrating?

I'm a red blooded American Capitalist, American before Capitalist. The greatest and silent generations understood that well, that's why their legacy was building a better future to hand off and they cared about the quality of their work and supporting their community as much as the money it made.

Honestly the way things are inevitably going. Being told to sell your home is good advice. The property market has been a house of cards propped up by hedge funds and fools for over a decade. But it's finally starting to turn towards correcting and when it does it's gonna wipe out so much wealth in home values. Better to sell now for $500k and downsize to a $200k home with cash to enjoy or help your family than hold on till it drops and you can't get near as much out of it.
