call me crazy, but none of those criminals appear to be older than 40.
Now, it would be like a Millenial (especially) or the oldest Gen Z'ers to blame someone else for why they chose to break the law.
They broke the law because they have no respect for government authority and consider the laws illegitimate and unjust. They believe the system is rigged, and that vast numbers live in luxury off the backs of others. They feel no particular love, admiration, patriotism, or attachment to the country they were born in, and would love to see it dismembered or destroyed.
You may disagree with that sentiment, but it is nearly ubiquitous among the younger generations, regardless of whether they voted for Trump or Biden. And there is a reason for that. Maybe you should find out why instead of whining?
Because they don't like capitalism, and they don't like you.
That's great. They can think that all they want, but it doesn't change the Just law that you shouldn't be taking over streets to do donuts on social media and ransack a private business because you don't like it.
I don't see how that particular law, whether it was created by a greedy boomer or not, matters. It seems self evident,..don't rob each other.

Well I consider it progress that you are blaming the ideology now instead of an age bracket.
Now from here we can narrow it down. You don't blame Democrats, but admit they would be the ones to force kids to take hormones and take all the guns.
But you blame Conservatives for not having the guts to stop them. It's a fair point, I am good with that.
Is it in the ballpark to say conservatives don't Want to win, because then they'd be on the hook to make good on their promises? And the big woke push from the Left only helps them have plausible deniability?
Nope. But America would destroy itself if it allowed it.

Why do you want to share a country with people who hate you? Is the money really that important?

I think I've been here too long. I am getting serious deja vu from this exchange.

I'm extremely conservative. I don't care what liberals think. I want nothing to do with them. The only thing that matters to me is what conservatives think. They are the only ones who can save us. Which is why I'm always more critical of conservatives than I am liberals on this board.
I wouldn't have so much contempt towards baby-boomers if they left a country for their grandchildren like the one they inherited from their parents and grandparents. Baby-boomers didn't squander their money, they ruined the country, permanently.
Baby-boomers created a system of absolute greed, selfishness, and lack of all social responsibility.
this is the part that was responded to.

of course the Baby Boomers are responsible for the the evolution of the US Economic, legal, and political system over the last 50 years. That's when they became adults. Every POTUS you've known, Speaker or Senate leader, and 70% of the Fortune 500 CEO's you've known - all Boomers. As in any generation, they have good qualities and bad.
The people in the video aren't the product of Baby Boomers though - boomers are too old. Only the very oldest Millenials would have Boomer parents. Boomers taught their Gen X offspring, people like me. I was never taught that I was a victim of anything. I was never given "participation trophies".
By the time any Gen X'ers reached adulthood, none of us of any race or sex were victims of anything in a widespread fashion.
Today, there are right at 70 million Boomers. There's 180 million other adults. Don't wallow in some supposed victimhood. Use your voting advantage.
Agreed. Although you can't deny that there is something definitely different with these younger generations. Some resort to violence, others stick in their parents basements, others act like morons on tiktok, etc. It is undeniable that we've seen societal degradation in different degrees , since the mid to late 2000's.
And when talking in generalizations, there are always exceptions, not everyone in these younger generations is acting like this.
he told you the word - somehow there's a too-large portion of the Millenials and GenZ who consider themselves victims because they don't have what they decided to expect.

Yes. You, me, Green_Mariner, Ellis Bell. There is that younger lady that likes to argue with me as well(I think she has mixed-children). A few others. Not sure about Thinkingoutsidethebox. Surprised you guys are still here. I got banned for a few months, told myself I wouldn't come back, but was going through some of my old posts as part of this Ukraine War to show how I had the same opinions long before February 24th.
I actually thought he had me blocked for like years because he always ignored my posts.
Surely there's people out there that hate you, why don't you leave the country?
Do you know what my goal is here? It's the same thing I've been pushing basically since 2009 when I first came here.
