I keep seeing "boomers" bashing "millenials", "gen Z" bashing everyone, etc. Can we just stop? Most of us older adults were children once too. We were young, naive and convinced we knew everything. Heck, some of my generation were the "hippies" of the 60s and 70s. Woodstockers, etc. We got older, went to work, paid taxes, got kicked in the teeth by life a few times. And grew the F up.
Today's kids are no different. There is an old saying-"If you're not liberal at 16, you have no heart. If you're not conservative by 30, you have no brain". Some truth to that. The naivety of youth always gets smacked in the face by reality.
If there is anyone to blame-it is the older generation-that raised the younger generations, and demanded and expected so little. It put these kids years behind in terms of learning about life. Catering to their every whim, buying them everything they desired, instilling no discipline or sense of responsibility. They will learn-the same as we all did-but instead of maturing to some extent in their teens, it's now in their 20s.
The Democrats and other leftists have no facts to justify their agenda. So they MUST bash everyone from Republicans to Millenials to rich people to Gen-Zs and on and on.
No, they cannot stop bashing other generations. If they did stop, they would have nothing to say at all.
As a gen-X'er, we were **** on for years as unmotivated slackers. Then the Millennials came along and became the targets of self-righteous old people. It's just how our culture works. Probably been that way for longer than any of us have been alive.
Now as for the hate from younger people directed at Baby-Boomers... I think at least the depth and breadth of the anti-boomer generational scorn is kindof a new thing. Sure younger generations have always had conflict with older generations, but baby-boomers are a particularly large, influential, and monolithic group. That attracts attention.
I don't have a fix for this. My generation is just sitting on the sidelines, chuckling while we watch the world burn down
What i want to happen between generations is this -
don't judge your previous generations by the culture that is happening now.. for example.
All this ruckus over Halloween costumes is stupid. Back then, it was normal to wear costumes of other cultures, it was just fun and not one iota of hate toward the costume or the people it represented, it was more of an honor if anything.
so now people judge the other generation's normal culture with today's PC (overly PC culture) and of course there is going to be a ruckus.. But that should not be. People did things back then which were NORMAL. I bet in 50 years, the things people are doing now - someone is gonna holler RAYCISSTT when it is just the norm.
But understand, some people are not capable of having a conversation about anything, without bashing someone else.

Sorry but the baby boomers sold the country out, millenials live in their parents basements at age of 30+ and gen z are indoctrinated socialists.
Blanket statements about huge groups of people are most often wrong.
