My parents didn’t even make it out of their 50s. That’s the reality of class war.

You guys know you’re getting hoodwinked? Yeah, it’ll do you wonders if you start hating on your elders. All of our mysery is definitely their fault. No, they’re not victims of class warfare, like us, sure. Hate your elders, that’ll solve everything.

Yeah, I’m lucky, cuz I only have a 50% experience of yours. Please accept my sympathies.
Maybe I’m too angry to express myself properly, but I hate it that these types of hater posts get so much attention. And if I keep going with my rant, I’ll just sound like Patrick Swayze’s character from Donnie Darko.

Our elders fucked everyone over now for the following 3.5 generations, setting our world onto a course that is nearly impossible to reverse, and all for their own comfort and enjoyment. They can go die in a fire for all i care.

I don’t really give a shit. All I’m saying is this is the type of petty hatred that divides us. You can be a fuckin hater and spend your energies on rhat (goodness me, I am guilty of that), but hating on a generation in general is just crying over spilt milk.

They are still clinging to power. Hard to stop hating them when they are still making the decisions.

Yep. They could easily retire and live a happy successful retirement, in fact they SHOULD but they are literally clinging to power until they die just to make sure the people they hate are as miserable and unsuccessful as possible.

Totally fair. I think I overshot a bit with the criticality of my comment, because it is shitty for most of us and it lacked sympathy. All I wanted to say is that we are wasting energy on hating on something we personally can’t affect.
It’s another thing that I saw many people from that generation craving and trying for change. Maybe that’s not your experience. It can be especially hard if you have someone in the family actively believing characters like Trump, Orbán, AfD. I believe most people want what’s best for them and theirs, and it’s usually fear or narrow-mindedness that gets them hooked on populistic rhetoric.
I mean just look at the US politics stage. Boomers are dying out and they are surrounded by bad actors from the genX and millenial groups waiting to take over. It’s in the bad actor’s best interest to have us hating each other. We are losing energy on hating/blaming, all the while we are being divided into groups of age, ethnicity, religion. Who’s best interest is this division?
