Aside from the obvious jokes, their lack of fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination and sense of extreme entitlement which makes them astonishingly annoying drivers, boomers do have a lot of good qualities like their ability to organize and get something built or accomplished when they want to.

Their main problem is, all their positive and negative energy is spent talking about stupid shit that doesn’t matter and hating things they shouldn’t care about.

Because of their aforementioned sense of entitlement, they believe all media is there to “get them the truth!” Whoever said that the goal of the news media isn’t to inform you but to make you feel informed, he perfectly described boomers.

Boomers are greedy fucks who only care about muh 501k and pulling up boot straps while they sold their grandchildren future to sand people and chicoms

Individually, it depends upon the boomer. There were/are some boomers who kept the candles of survival and self-reliance lit and there were many based boomers.

As a group however, they plundered the legacy that their fathers had left them. Benefiting both psychologically and monetarily off the stability of society, they then proceded to tear down the very core values that had led to their betterment leaving nothing for future generations but salted earth and home movies.

Much of this blame also goes to the greatest generation who unwittingly raised ungrateful brats during the national peace that followed WW2.

Engaging in cross generational warfare is counterproductive.

What age group are we defining as Boomers? Most places I've seen it defined as being 1946-1964, that means the oldest Boomers are in their 70s. This is the first generation that could have done something to correct what was happening from the previous Silent generation (1928-1945). This means Gen X's grandparents were the big problem. When you realize the timeline we are talking about, you begin to see WWII for what it was - a tool to destroy the West via propaganda. The Silent lost uncles, dads, brothers and maybe some grandparents in WWII all the while having the propaganda played in movie theaters and radio about the evil Nazis. Then after the war as they took over, they did everything they could to prevent it from happening again. This gave the true enemy, communism/bolshevism/marxism/judaism, the legal cover to implement their goals.

The problem we have is a generational one in the making, and it will take the older generations to acknowledge their mistakes and teach the younger generations that they were mistakes and horrible ideas (good luck getting someone to admit medicare/medicaide is a bad idea and should be ended). Then, and only then, can we actually begin to figure out what we can do to fix the mess we are in. Our enemy has been trying to divide and conquer us for 160 years, and they figured out how to do it about 100 years for it to be extremely effective.

Mixed feelings. Accomplished alot , fucked up alot.

I'm within the chronological age group most refer to as "boomers." We are not all the same by any means. When we were young, a lot of us thought we were going to change the world for the better. Unfortunately we were disappointed and betrayed by a select group who grew in power. Funny, I remember signing a petition circulated by NORML urging the legislature to legalize weed, back in 1971. A few years later the "war on drugs" was upon us. lol

The problem with olds in general is they don't understand change. My mother paid $12 for a fast food meal two weeks ago and hasn't stopped talking about how expensive it was. To her prices should be what they were in 1990. Same with boomers, the world they imagine we live in hasn't existed for at least 30 years.
