Reminder that boomers are the most reactionary generation in history, and pose a massive existential threat to the planet and society since they wont have to see the consequences of their actions.
Will these smug, entitled pieces of shit ever see their comeuppance?
They'll be dead soon and will know the world is going to hell because of them. That's enough of comeuppance.
Jason Martin
The youngest boomers are in their mid 50s still. They'll be around for at least another 30 years, maybe more with future medical tech.
We can't afford to wait 30 years.
Nicholas Barnes
A large swath of them won't have pensions to speak of then. They kind of fucked themselves.
Adam Bailey
Their demographic is shrinking though
Baby boomers eat like shit and in general have terrible health habits.
Their relevance is decreasing by the day
Jaxson Garcia
Did you read the article? Social Security is untouchable because of them. YOU are the one who will have to give up his pension in order to keep these fucks living into their 90s.
Juan Price
Yes.
Carter Miller
They just elected trump months ago. His competition? Another boomer.
Robert Young
Gas em all. They gave us Reagan, Daddy Bush, and fucking Trump.
They are all brainwashed against socialism, against Communism. They think passe liberals are stalinists.
Hudson Ross
But there wasn't a non-boomer option so I'm not sure where the scandal is here
Anthony Edwards
That's kind of the point.
Gabriel Sullivan
The scandal is that there was no non-boomer option.
Evan Garcia
The last gasp IMO.
Mason Lee
I just mean that no one is ever realistically an option below the age in which they would be now considered boomers. It's more a math problem than a generational one
Henry Sanders
Muh homogeneity tho.
Xavier Thompson
Reminder that boomers bought homes for pennies on the dollar.
Can't afford a home now? That's OK, the boomers will rent one out to you :^)
Mason Cooper
The weird thing about boomers is that they were cooler when they were younger, they are the hippy generation. What the fuck happened?
Aaron Russell
the old hippies are still cool
Robert Smith
It's right to hate the shit out of boomers, but it is wishful thinking to suggest that once they die off things will get better. Gen X are classcucked as fuck.
Kayden Phillips
The hippies were actually a tiny fraction of the baby boomers.
Most boomers think that one time they dropped acid made them a part of the "counter-culture".
Ian Perry
bunch of kids seem to hate their mommies and daddies still I see.
Thomas Ortiz
oh, so they are like the libertarian millennials of our generation
"I like smoking weed, but fuck poor people"
I have yet to see a gen-x person at any radical left things, its kind of weird actually to see old hippies and 20 somethings / college kids, and nothing in between.
Zachary Jackson
yes and probably not
no it isn't
those that haven't sold out, yes.
Wyatt King
My parents are baby boomers. My mom thinks she's this super left wing person but she believes all this reactionary shit about how working class people need to pursue STEM degrees and about how you should kiss your bosses ass.
My Dad is more left wing on working class issues but he believes the hard work myth has well and is slightly racist and homophobic. Don't really care much about the latter though since it's idpol.
Angel Rogers
Because they have jobs.
Levi Barnes
I don't hate my parents at all, I disagree with them.
Gavin Reed
Gen x'ers are reactionary af. They will all die horrible deaths during the revolution
Angel Davis
we still have to live in this world
Jaxon Gomez
Fuck! Not the double triple government assured lock! Oh wait, I can't find a fucking job so I can't pay for it anyway.
Owen Rodriguez
gen xers are like boomers but without few cool socialists/ not terrible hippies
Asher Ross
Gen X are like our generation as far as being outnumbered and fucked over by the boomers, they just weren't as fucked over by them because it took time.
Dominic Morris
yeah I know, its all my dad ever talks about :v
"when I was your age, I was married, had a career, a kid, and was paying off part of my mortgage"
Wyatt Russell
The coolest gen x'ers ever got was 80s punk and the vast majority of that was lifestylists.
Gavin Phillips
Gen X tend to be further to the right of the boomers. they are fucked over but they think its a good thing
Gavin Howard
Have you ever called him an overpaid cunt who talks about himself too much?
Logan Evans
This is just going to keep repeating, you know that? Humanity is a lost cause. The only solution is Nuclear Armageddon, so that the mangled survivors can cut out a brief society based solely around ecology before shitting their blood and organs out then dying. After that, there will finally come soft rains and the smell of the ground.
Sebastian Mitchell
Hell yeah, deep ecology. We need to kill 6 billion humans. You first.
Christopher King
It's not deep ecology, but utter misanthropy. Mankind is chaotic, ruthless, a threat to this planet and if mankind finds a way, it will go to planets far beyond and do as it did here, extract wealth, make noise, and plunder needlessly and senselessly. No progress is being made towards stopping it all, everyone is comfortable and happy, safe from nature, fearful of it. I think mankind deserves to go extinct, while deep ecologists believe that man needs to change drastically, maybe live in huts eating berries and game. But this lifestyle will lead to the same rabid growth as before, mankind is like the swarm of locusts, but rather than eating the crops of a filthy invader, he pillages the whole world.
Jonathan Wright
Sauce?
Levi Moore
I fully support space colonization if we can move beyond capitalism. I don't accept that our existence is entirely wrong. If capitalism or barbarism of some form is the end I don't want our species going anywhere.
Jaxson Lee
gen Z is gonna be awesome
"Thank you. I am so honored that you, the people of New York, have chosen me to be your next senator
But I humbly remind you that I stand on the shoulders of great men from past times. Men like The Sargon of Akkad, JonTron, PewDiePie, Shoe0nHead and Ian Miles Cheong"
Cooper White
Why? We move on to other planets, and then what? Turn them into smog-covered hell-holes as well? Assuming we could ever reach a planet that has macroscopic life, we'd fuck it up like we have here no doubt. What's the point in any form of colonization other than greed, true and utter greed?
Brandon Flores
There is no reason to us existing at all. I think a vague sense of hope and human pride is the only reason. There are no non-spooky justifications for our continued existence whatsoever. We will just die out on this rock eventually otherwise. I think I may like the idea because I've always been a romantic and a science fiction nerd. I don't particularly care if we fuck up some other life forms, but If our spread is based on greed or some form of barbarism I'd rather we rather we didn't. It may be silly, but I think our imagination and aspiration to some higher purpose may be a somewhat positive aspect of our species even if we don't always live up to that vision. I think it is in some way tied to my hopes for socialism. I want to believe we can be better than we are now.
Grayson Robinson
we deserve this
Jaxon Bennett
the pathetic thing about this is we could easily beat them if we went voting. but it took someone like trump riding on a wave of some other organization's year-long anti-muslim propaganda on social networks and some leaks exposing complete corruption and criminally antidemocratic behaviour in the democratic party to get ~50% of voters to vote for someone other than hillary.
Carson Hall

Angel Rivera
Please stop. I don't want to imagine this future.
Nicholas Barnes
Add Gen Z to the list of corpses
Jackson Peterson
Why? Once they're dead they won't have to deal with anything.
William Bennett

Wyatt Watson
W-who will be left?
Brayden Butler
The vanguard.
Jonathan Jenkins
I'm glad I'm not the only one that fucking hates boomers. They're so fucking brainwashed, their entire lives are based off of ideology. They refuse to make any sort of change to benefit the public because they think taxation is immoral because profit is sacred. It wouldn't matter if everyone was starving except for one person who owned literally everything, they would think it would be immoral to tax him a penny. Neoliberalism completely fucked America over and it's stopped us from making absolutely any progress at all, in fact things keep getting worse. I don't know how I'm going to afford health care, I'm in pain every day and I don't know if I'll even be able to retire, and it's all because of these people.
David Gutierrez
Pour mustard gas into retiree communities and nursing homes.
Tyler Moore
sorry fam, since you can't afford healthcare, your healthcare was rationally determined, according to economic theory, to be a suboptimal allocation of resources according to the market. you were too lazy or lacked sufficient cognitive skills to plan for future healthcare contingencies and thus deserve to die. You should've learned to code and gotten a degree from an elite university like me, you fool.
t. typical neoliberal apologist
Angel Williams
Actually, the problem here is the lack of cheap medical offerings, it could be done via workers coops
Landon Evans
Actually, worker coops are a suboptimal allocation of resources according to the market. They don't exist in great numbers which shows that they are bad, or the market would've brought them into existence. Co-ops are a negative development similar to unions because they hurt corporate prof- er, raise consumer prices on non-union workers leading to sub-optimal allocation of resources.
t. typical neoliberal apologist
Michael Morales
reading this gave me a very sudden and short sense of terror, my entire torso felt hollow and my face felt cold. This is actually going to happen. I can't take it. Are millennials the last sane generation?
Brandon Peterson
The youngest boomers are turning 57 friend
Nolan Carter
Yes. it's an entire generation of sociopaths.
Why do you think mothers and fathers kick kids out of their homes at 17 in America and charge them rent? If you did that anywhere else on earth you would be seen as a subhuman but charging your kids for rent is perfectly fine here.
They are a generation of ancap tier sociopaths
Chase Barnes
No, don't you understand? This isn't -real- capitalism, and I'm sure if we could get those gosh darn demmy crats like Obummer to stop taxing Walmart they could give me a bigger paycheck! Or alternatively No, don't you see? You just aren't working hard enough! You need get so many jobs you're working 24/7, and get a sugar daddy, THEN you can afford healthcare! I know you can do it because I did it and payed for my own healthcare! [back when the cost of living wasn't atrocious and college was affordable and jobs were easy to get] You're just ENTITLED
Thomas Howard
wait, I might mean Canadian boomers
1961 is when the baby boom ended in Canada - every year after it had recorded less births
Maybe it lasted longer in burgerland, sorry
Dylan James
Also tbh guys the focus on boomers is stupid
If boomers are the sociopaths manipulating the world towards their own benefit - then GenX is the grade A retard that was told they deserve less and fucking believed it
Now Millenials too buy in to it, except they like all the correct things to just improve the functions of the capitalist system, not eliminate it
Henry Green
We'll see how much millenials or gen Z cuckolds want to improve this system when the crash happens in the next few years.
Easton Ross
Most millennials say they prefer socialism to capitalism and were the people that propped up Bernie. We're not perfect, but we're the most class conscious generation alive right now because of our material conditions.
Aiden Gonzalez
Just fucking end me already fam
Ryan Gray
its funny in the middle east, asia and africa young men live literally next door with or in the same house with 2 generations of their family. In old Europe and Colonial America young landowning class men were expected to stay on the property till they were 21 when they would be given a place in the business and eventually inherit their fathers estate when they married (dowry was a huge way for him to get his life going). You would live on your dad's tobacco plantation till you were upwards of 25 and found a well to-do wife. Americans were psychologically ruined by the Industrial revolution and its atomizing, child-labor abusing, psychopathic worker mentality. It created the lost and greatest generations, it created the sociopathic boomers and gen x'ers and its now producing the narcissistic, manic-depressive millenials and gen z'ers.
Angel Diaz
reminder boomer and gen X bourgeoisie/middle class are literally robopathic pathological parasites and will fight to the bitter end to protect the TV and DNC and social security. they will continue eating biotech chemical soup and will never stop buying fossil fuel vehicles, supporting regime change or panopticon surveillance states. they are pure evil and deserve no quarter. We should preach hate for them at any and every opportunity. They ruined our country in the 60's and 90's and should honestly be gulag'd
Michael Morris
more like
"Thank you. I am so honored that you, the people of New York, have chosen me to be your next senator

Joshua Cook
Nice daily mail talking point.
Nicholas Barnes
Wrong.
Jobs are going bye bye due to automation. They shot themselves in the foot. Those pensions will dry up and the SS will go bankrupt.
Nicholas Martin
millenials and gen z'ers are narcissists because they spend all day on dating apps and social media, taking selfies and spending money. that's not an exoneration of boomers you twit. boomers are pure evil, absolutely parasitical idiots
Zachary Ross
In how many layers of idpol are you on? This s a whole new level of retardation.

Blake Long
the youngest boomers aren't really boomers the same way people who were born in the 50s and came of age in the 60s are.
Carter Russell
actually Gen X gave us Raegan, I don't have the stats here but it's the truth.
Sanders was Silent Generation.
this.
Are you a legit wizard? My grandma was boomer.
Isaiah Baker
Even the mildly sympathetic ones have the attitude of "lol, not our problem anymore. Let the millennials fix it," while not willing to give up an inch of their privilege.
Carter Morgan
Does anybody else feel like we're being patronized by older members of the establishment? The pandering of Hillary comes to mind. Then there's also a bunch of cringy commercials that have been popping up everywhere "celebrating" our uniqueness, innovation, creativity, etc.
