Ugh, I just knew what this gross comments section was gonna look like.
Look, whatever perceived collective guilt an entire cohort of humanity has in your view, it's really disgusting to celebrate and gloat over a report about the elderly becoming homeless.
When subsequent generations decide they have the right to dance on our graves for whatever it is they decide we did, I hope your ghosts aren't too whiny about it.
Even those that tried their best to avoid causing problems and/or /revert the effects? You’re blaming the entirety for the crimes of the minority. This is dumb.
The article doesn't say, but I'm assuming the demographics of these newly homeless boomers is not predominantly white male. I still say boomer remover tho so i'm not exactly above generational warfare, it's just the worst boomers get hurt the least from poverty
I think you make a valid point, unlike the federated smuglord that you replied to. This is mostly going to hurt people that least deserved it, as is often the case. Yeah, I know one or two boomer chuds that will likely get hit by that, but that's not worth it overall.
The material conditions and sociopolitical norms for a large demographic group of people were such that the majority of them actively and deliberately destroyed social safety nets and privatized everything they could in the hopes of making a quick buck and sticking it to the (slurs), and you're only upset that some people fucked over by that group are feeling schadenfreude about that group now experiencing what they had been dishing out.
That's already old and stale. Your attempt to hitch a ride on it explains why you're so defensive about the boomer demographic in general. I doubt you're that old, but boomer is by and large a state of mind and you seem to fit that state of mind.
for personal tragedies
Except decades of suffering that boomers as a demographic inflicted on those younger (and in the past, on those older) than themselves. That's fine and good because the smol bean boomers are special and better than those that came before them and after them and deserve all of the sympathy, including for things they inflicted on everyone, including themselves.
that occur in your life
Fuck all the way off with your smarmy concern trolling.
Just inform me when something big happens.
You live in a bubble world of smug condescension, so chances are you won't notice anything anyway.
Point is, when you manage to grow up a little perhaps you'll grow a sense of empathy.
Or maybe not. I dunno. Good luck. Have any more shitty emotes to slap in there?
You're begging for sympathy for a demographic group that by and large were known for their entire lives for being abrasive condescending selfish assholes, and your way to demand sympathy is by acting abrasive and condescending.
perhaps you'll grow a sense of empathy
You're not demonstrating any for the people hurt by boomers in the long decades that they had near total economic and political control.
Good luck.
Your smug levels are already off the charts. You may break the meter.
