Yeah boomer hate is real and thriving on Poal but people like to forget that every generation is a product of the environment at the time. It's like blaming Chinks for not knowing how to drive without appreciating that the 'rules of the road' in China where they first learned how to drive are very different than in NA. I still get mad when one of the little yellow buggers cuts me off in traffic. But I get mad when some soccer mom on her cell phone changes lanes into me too. People can be stupid, all of us.

Besides the pretty, thin girl sitting on the hood of a muscle car while sipping a beer image though accurate in no way encapsulates all of significance that was going on in the 50 and 60s. Political and multi-national corporate behavior -- much of which was completely behind the scenes -- was the complete antithesis of our nostalgic reminiscences of those years and they are what drove us to where we are today. Not the pretty girl. And of course that all started way waaaaay back, before WWI even.

I hate whiny, entitled, thin skinned Millennial and Gen X brats as much as the next old fuck but I also recognize the Boomer's role in creating them. Watching Cultural Marxists today bully and destroy anyone or anything that doesn't align with their West-hating ideologies breaks my fucking heart. But not that long ago I still believed that the hippies had had the right idea, ideas that were a key to our future. But the hippies of the 60s are the school boards endorsing transgender rights of today. Well intentioned ignorance was rife then and still is, though it's easy to argue that it's much worse today given the rampant support for socialism despite the abundant proof that its promises are ultimate self-serving and to the core evil.

So hate boomers all you want. But everything since is not better. Not by a long shot.
