Because we were never able to make a dent in boomer tyranny. they just disregarded us, and continue to disregard us, they couldn’t even name our generation so they just filed us under “X”. they never stepped aside to let us run anything. They won’t step aside for you either. they’ll never, in a million years, relinquish power. they’ll die first. literally. meanwhile younger generations lump us in with them, when we’ve been fighting boomers longer than anyone. I admire Millenials for their ability to seriously piss off boomers. I wish we’d been able to piss them off half as much as you guys do. but they ignore us completely unless we submit, stroke off capitalism, and bring it to a screaming orgasm.
this kind of black and white, defeatist logic is the problem not the generational bullshit
Yes it’s totally defeatist to talk about things in the past that happened and acknowledge things that are presently happening. I didn’t say no one would beat them, I said that they will never relinquish power. Two very different concepts.
I was sold on your initial post (boomers won't get out of the way), but chose to reply here to show support for your retort.
I read some hilarious article a few days before the pan went full-tilt that talked about how our gen was the best at not caring. I can't seem to find it again. It's not the one that came up when I just searched and someone talked about distancing and such because the pan wasn't a part of the one I remember. Too bad. It had me LOLing a lot when I read it. Thought it was at McSweeny's, but that seems to be a phantom memory.
