1163 Boomers vs. Millennials

Boomers are the people who grew up during the 60s/70s and Millennials are their kids who grew up in the 80s/90s. Like every parents/children generation before them, animosity develops: mostly out of resentment from the younger generation of being subservient to & overshadowed by the older; while the older are jealous to be young & relevant again. Boomers are being pushed out by Millennials: out of their jobs, out of their influence, out of power; otherwise society would remain the same, which it certainly hasn’t, now more than ever. What you see happening in this decaying and divided nation is the incoming Millennials with new priorities: it’s not Boomers changing their minds late in life, but it’s partially their fault: Boomers are responsible for raising their Millennial children to be pretentious, entitled, self-centered & foolish. It was a way Boomer women gained status. Boomer men can be blamed for a similar level of selfishness by encouraging wealth concentration & conspicuous consumption, but that’s where Boomer guilt ends. In a democracy, simply majorities determine politics, and feminists, minorities & weirdos have the numbers; and social media provided the mechanism to making this changeover complete, and Millennials just happened to be there for the ride.
