Not saying this is wrong but sometimes you need to look in the mirror as well. It’s never just one thing. Also, throw away the boomer blame game and refocus on the rich 10%, who are more than just boomers now.

Ok. Don’t learn from others mistakes and wreck your life on your own.

That is spot on. I have just concluded that it isn’t my responsibility to educate my parents. And since they don’t listen anyway, I also realized that since that is the case, we have not become closer through the years; but actually the opposite. And that all because they’re not willing to accept facts, because they’re lazy and entitled.

“I haven’t learned how to communicate with people that have different ideas than me so I just come up with new slurs to call them!”

I’m very likely younger than you.

No I don’t have the time for people who don’t have time for me. Every boomer in my life decided I was lazy, weak, dumb, or worthless before trying to actually take the time to see if that was true. Why should I have spent the time trying to convince them otherwise if they already didn’t care? It’s not like me showing them how wrong they were benefits me whatsoever. Wasted energy that could be better spent improving my life and the lives of people who do care.

Further proof that intergenerational criticism in either direction is dumbass bullshit.

Just wait - Millennials and Gen-Z - until there’s a war and an active draft in the US again.
Venezuela anyone? (Dear God, I hope not but the current asshat in the Oval Orfice seems bent on taking a page from the Monroe Doctrine and adding teeth. Gotta justify Kegsbreath’s trillion dollar DOD budget plans after all…)
Shit’s gonna get VERY real and you may gain a bit of insight as to why 'boomers just gave up and “went condo” as they used to say.

Ok, boomer

There will never be another draft. Our military is to big, and we aren’t going to try to occupy anything. Drones knock down our deployment numbers drastically. Unless there was actually a war with someone like China or on our own soil, there is no need. We currently have about 2 million people already volunteered. Our largest force during the Afghanistan/Iraq bologna was around 100k. So we could send 10x that and not get into the reserves. Our military is way to damn big

The military also doesn’t want to go back to a draft army. Discipline and morale suck with a draft army and there is severe political blowback to casualties from drafted personnel.
A lot of reforms post Vietnam were made to make sure that the US military didn’t need to draft.

It’s never worth your time or effort to have a discussion/argument with someone who isn’t going to participate in good faith.

Dude, peole have been using that on 4chan since 2015 or earlier to tell people that they were out of touch with current affairs or the state of the world. Wasn’t aimed like that.
Making up your own history to throw hate is such a boomer thing to do.

What sort of conversations are you having with your gf?
TheEntity@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Unlike their boomer ancestors, the current generations talk with their partners about all sorts of things, not just about sex and dinner. Almost as if they are not only sexual partners but also close friends that understand each other.
TL;DR: Ok, boomer.
ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 3 months ago
TIL my under 25 peers are unsophisticated because dinner and sex is about all they talk about.
