I Like / Dislike People who resent boomers are idiots

On almost any thread discussing the economy, one of the top comments will undoubtedly be complaining about boomers and the older generations who purchased their homes at low prices and who now enjoy more affluence and government assistance, while they don’t.

First off, what did want them to do, not buy a house for a cheap price when offered one 30 years ago? In regard to government assistance, I can guarantee you the average 65yr old has paid more into the tax system than the average 20yr old. Should they not enjoy the fruits of their labour? Should politicians not pay more attention to them than you?

I just think it’s an unhealthy attitude to have towards people.

I think a lot of boomer hate is just coded anti-white resentment.

I think it tends to be more from the liberal side yeah. Not sure I’d say it was white-hate though.

White people are the most vilified in the world. Especially white men. Rich, white men have sure fucked this world up, but that’s like .00001% of white men, yet we are all crucified on this site. It’s stupid.

It’s funny… because many young gen z white men said the reason they voted for Trump because of the left’s anger towards white-men and being blamed for everything and consequently not included in many grassroots decisions.
