A traditional generational conflict usually looks like this, the older generation says “we had it hard too” the younger generation says “you don’t understand our world”. That’s normal, it happens every generation.

That’s not what’s going on with boomers and millennials.

The friction between boomers and millennials is different than the average inter-generational conflict.

Because boomers betrayed millennials.

The boomer real estate collapse when they really start passing away will be fascinating. Millennials don’t even want their McMansions. What will happen?

Sounds like victimhood. Surprising to read from you. Nobody betrayed anybody. Humans think and extrapolate based on known patterns and experiences. Nobody knew, nor could they have predicted, the extent of the impact and the ramifications that creating a currency with no PoW to generate more o...

This generational tribalism is stupid. If you think Boomers messed things up, wait until Millennials are old and fingers get pointed at them for messing up the family, gender roles, ethnic replacement of Europeans, or creating a population crash by aborting babies it's like a common cold. It's not l...

As a Gen-X I look at both and just role my eyes when they start playing the victim card. I detest participating in this Victim Olympics. If they really want to compete then they have to go stand in line after the 'The Lost Generation', 'The Silent Generation' and the 'The G.I. Generation'.

Boomers fucked the world raw. Millennials are left with the consequences…

Exactly. This isn’t just the usual generational gap, it’s a betrayal. Boomers built systems that left millennials struggling with housing, debt, and opportunity. Recognizing that reality is the first step to real change.

I'm not sure I'd quite say this. Boomers didn't close the gold window. Boomers didn't create the Bretton Woods agreement. Boomers were the beneficiaries of this wave, getting to surf on it, even as it crashed on the heads of many of Gen X, millenials, and dashed zoomers against the rocks. But they d...

From the inside this framing seems accurate, but the reality is all generations were betrayed by whichever generation was alive in 1913 when the Fed was created, starting with Woodrow Wilson. Everything else we may have conflict about is downstream from the time the creature from Jekyll island came ...

Boomers were in a position to buy real estate and stocks before they mooned. Now there’s a lot of entitled rich dicks in that class. We were in a position to buy bitcoin before it mooned. I think we’ll be fine..

Whether or not this is true, I think it puts too much locus of control outside of individual millennials choices.

There is going to be a really scary day for Boomers in the next 10 years or so when they realize there is no such thing as “mandatory spending”.

The government of the Boomers formative years betrayed the Millennials. The Boomers benefited from it at our expense, but I doubt the majority of them had any idea what was going on.

Pretty sure Boomers betrayed Gen-X - to the point that you don’t even hear about them anymore lol.

Are most boomers even aware of this? Of their privilege and willing to take responsibility. I don't think so. Need some back to read this whole thread so I can get very fucking angry at boomers. Lol

Boomers are selfish like almost everyone else in our current society. They looked to their own advancement as opposed to the advancement of the generations to come. In the pursuit of progress we are blinded by our own goals and ambitions. Don’t blame them. Question yourself. Are you really...

i can see a world with this evolving into Boomers: "You lazy bastard HAVE TO maintain MY pensions" Millennials: "You fucked ALL up and want US to care about you?"
