Tim’s line of “their kids were there to support them emotionally and not the other way around” is so true to my and my friend’s experience
Exactly. Having to be a kid therapist to adults, and then being treated like crap after the therapy session is a crazy dynamic.
Mine too
Having kids is Always a selfish act it’s how you raise em that can make it selfless
yes!!!
Same here, my mother would drink and talk to me like I was her adult girlfriend. Telling me things a kid shouldn’t hear. I’m raising my kids so differently than I was raised its really strange. Gen X’ers grew up with almost NO parental supervision. It was fun but also really destructive.
George Carlin on Boomers:
Whiney, narcissistic, self-indulgent people, with a simple philosophy: “gimme-it it’s mine”! “give-me-that it’s mine”! These people were given everything. Everything was handed to them, and they took it all. Took it all. Sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll. And they stayed loaded for twenty years, and had a free ride, but now they’re staring down the barrel of middle-age burn-out, and they don’t like it. They don’t like it so they’ve turned self-righteous, and they want to make things hard on younger people.
Yep. I'm glad people are noticing this. They are the most whiny, arrogant, and spoiled generation in American history. They literally blamed Millennials for the 2009 banking crisis. We were in high school at the time. Boomers never take responsibility for anything.
I'm a huge fan of Carlin, but his daughter called him the "ultimate laissez faire parent" and was just as much of the sex, drugs, and rock and roll turned self righteous culture as the people he complained about.
I suppose the troll of Dillion's book is that a non-repentant-addicted-to-cocaine-sub-prime-mortgage-broker turned single man that drives a Bentley between his 5M+ estates in the Hamptons and Beverly Hills is complaining about the greed, excess, and selfishness of his parents generation.
Carlin was a boomer... And they aren't middle age, the youngest ones are in thier late 60's. Middle age people are millennials.
@@Steve-ev6vx he said this back when they were entering middle age. Carlin's dead but he had been a comedian since the late 50s.
@@Steve-ev6vx Carlin wasn’t a boomer. He was the generation before that.
As a millennial, I just want a house and a piece of land to grow food. I just want off the wheel of the rat race.
Dude me too. I think we are going to have to fight a revolution just to get good interest rates. Instead we are going to watch other countries buy up all our land and turn us into slaves
Hahaha!
Agreed man, 28 year old here I don’t need to be rich I just want to work my job and afford an average life for myself and my kids. But houses that were 180k 15 years ago are now 450k+ car payments are 800+$ groceries are ridiculously high now. Wages have barely gone up at all.
Guys like you and I are fucked brother.

When people say "the greatest generation," they mean the generation that was in WW2.
Yep. That’s my grandparents generation.
The greatest generation is the one that raised the worst generation in history.
the generation that birthed the boomers
The thing about the Greatest Generation is they EARNED that title, it was given to them by someone who was older than they were. They turned a economic collapsed isolated country into becoming the most influential and powerful society to have practically existed, while their goal in mind was to just survive either a harsh economy or the most vicious war ever. That generation sacrificed so much, and chances are they had their flaws too, in the end history proves that they contributed the greatest achievements imaginable.
To think their kids nearly every decade had some influence that would backfire on the rest of the country, the world, other generations, all because of how many just became so entitled.
Yes! Please DO NOT confuse baby-boomers with the generation that earned that title fighting through the depression. Boomers are entitled douches.
As a 53-year-old man, I can confirm all of this. I was born in 1970. My mom and dad divorced when I was very young, and they have to be the most self-centered people I've ever met. They weren't particularly good parents, they didn't really care, and they really didn't put much time or effort into me. They lived like adult children for most of their lives, and now, 70's, are whining and crying that they aren't young anymore and they can't do the things that young people do. My mom hasn't even worked since the 1980s. They only care about themselves, they care absolutely nothing at all for my kids, they don't care about me, and they have already blown through most of the money they inherited from their parents. They have a bad surprise coming. I know they are so selfish and stupid as to think I'm going to rush in and take care of them when they are old, but they've gotten to live Decades of a lifestyle my wife and I will never live. Because we work and we put everything we have into our kids. I actually look forward to the day when I can tell them that they're free ride is over and now they have to do what I have always done. Look after myself
You're every bit as bad as your parents are. Worse, since kids outgrow their need to be taken care of while the old do not, but go on needing more and more care. The fourth commandment of the ten is "Honor they father and mother," and this means specifically take care of your parents when they're old. Your parents behaving badly does not excuse your behaving badly. Them being jerks does not make you virtuous.
Born in 1970 as well. Almost the same story except my parents didn’t divorce, they just hated each other and what they made (four kids) Can’t wait for them to finally go away.
Well I was born in the late 80’s by the end of your comment I forgot I wasn’t the one who wrote it. My life and relationship with my parents summed up in a RUclips comment.
In the end they will realize their mistakes. If you have the opportunity to make amends, take it. If not for them, then for yourself. Things left unsaid or undone have a habit of coming back to haunt you in unexpected ways, speaking from experience.
@jamesc8722 I understand the weight of regrets. But it's a little different. If you had a horrible argument with someone you love, everything you say is absolutely true. If there was something horrific that happened that destroyed something that once existed, everything you said is true. But a lifetime of simply not caring is different. There is nothing to reap when nothing was sown. The end will be no different from the beginning and the middle. You can't get something when all there was was nothing.
My dad was the ultimate boomer. Only cared about himself, never met my kids even though he lived 20 minutes away, spent every dollar he ever made and inherited. He was sure to take credit for how his kids turned out but fought everything the whole way. He fought paying for college or anything but made sure to tell everyone how smart and accomplished his kids were. The ultimate boomer
I think you mean the ultimate narcissist.
@@InfinityReptar
Boomers are narcissists
Stop winning like little girl
I was taking care of my dad when he got cancer and he literally told me, I wasn't there because I didn't want to be.
sounds exactly like my father, just need to add alcoholism in the mix!
If anything Dillon is UNDERSELLING how awful Boomers are. "The first generation that wanted to do better than their children."
They did have ambition
The boomers are no different than any other generation. They might have gotten lucky to be born in the time and place that they did, but any generation would have turned out like the boomers had they grown up in the same conditions. If anything, we should learn from boomers and use them as an example for why you can’t spoil your children and give them everything. Struggle is necessary to create useful humans
Yes blame an entire generation for your failure. What a bunch of whining little bitches.
Bingo!! They hate their kids.
@@rickyayy because their kids took away the life of partying and snorting coke.
How to be a boomer:
1.) be born in arguably the wealthiest and greatest golden age of human history
2.) engage in the most material self-indulgent lifestyle than any generation before them with 0 repercussions to your actions.
3.) grow up and realize that you really can't live your whole life being a dopehead free spirit
4.) buy up houses cheap
5.) rent out all housing to younger generations
6.) finally get ready for the sweet embrace of death growing the mortgage rate to 7.5% on your way out... And leave the younger generations with a foreign immigrant problem that will destroy the cultural and demographic fabric of America (at least we got cheap labor lol)
My dad was pre boomer (1939) and my mom was boomer (1948). Neither one was like that. They worked in factories, 40+ hours a week, had a two story house, 2 cars, and paid their bills in time every month. My dad died in 2009 of a heart attack at work and my mom died in 2022 of COVID.
@@kevinkrichie of course not all of them. But enough of them to shape trends and statistics
And enact social policies that screwed us and lead way to liberal policy and hyperinflation and corruption
@@kevinkrichie Your mom was an early boomer. Many of them had parents who experienced the Depression. Boomers extend from around 1946 to 1964.
@@BlaineKK37The economic policy of the US is way more conservative today than it was when the boomers were coming of age. Even people like Bernie Sanders don't advocate for tax rates as high as they were in the 60s and 70s. Modern economic perspective emanates from the Reagan revolution, your policies are in relation to the neoliberal consensus.
All throughout my 20s, my parents asked when I would be settling down and having kids. Now in my 30s with kids, I cannot get them to spend time with their grandchildren. They’d rather watch the news.
What the hell is it with them and cable news? Mine genuinely cannot turn off the TV - this baffles me considering how strict they were re my own TV consumption during my childhood
And you'll do the same thing when you reach your parents age
My mom when my daughter was a baby wouldnt hold my daughter because she said " those days are over"
Meanwhile now when she's 6 my mom sends her 18 Chinese toys from Temu
@EliLemke-ft3fs Lol that is fucked
My fiancees father caller her sobbing how he missed his grandsons birth due to a surgery he had. Despite this, he spends so little time with the kid it's laughable to hear him upset he doesn't see him. The man literally won't make the time despite nothing stopping him
The greatest Generation got it wrong handing everything to Boomers. As a generation that lived through extreme poverty ( Great Depression) and a horrific world war it makes sense. They gave them everything they thought they wanted. But they got it wrong, the greatest gift you can give your kids is the confidence of self reliance, resilience and personal responsibility.
That's what I was thinking. The greatest generation was too self-sacrificing and gave rise to a generation that never had to self-sacrifice at all.
Any successful generation has to deal with how to hand off what was built up. It is their greatest failing that it happened like this. You have to hand down the morality to sustain things as well.
Boomers were the Greatest Generations biggest failure. Such a paradox.
1 in 10 boomer men deployed to Vietnam and many were drafted...
10% of half the population means 5%. Far from a majority.
Yes my grandmother wrote a memoir. She had an extremely tough childhood living on a farm, thru the Great Depression, worked hard went to college, married young to my grandpa who went to Germany in wwii. They both made it thru so much trauma. Then they went on to have 8 kids (one of which is my dad), all ultimate boomers, were spoiled and act like they’re gods gift to the world. First part of her memoir is all about her struggles, she turned to religion during the war bc they lived thru hell, last half of memoir is all about how “wonderful” her kids are and how much she sacrificed for them. (despite them ALL being pricks, abandoning their kids, being financially supported by others, anger issues, entitled, don’t take care of themselves, want their kids to take care of them!) My grandparents were kinda delusional about it. After reading her words, I honestly think the greatest generations trauma made them a bit delusional/dissociated the rest of their life.
It absolutely did. They were great people but they weren't great parents. They wanted to treat their children but ended up spoiling them to death and the boomers got to reap the benefits of the post war economic boom. They had it made since birth
@@JumpinJoe Yeah tbf also the human ego and mind has a VERY hard time copeing with your entire lifes work (kids) being a "failure" Even my millenial peers do it, every single decision HAS to be good for them because that would mean they failed.
What is the name of the book. Would like to buy it.
When Tim said “we were there to support THEM emotionally” I felt that. My mom is a boomer I’m Gen X and as a 10yr old she’d talk to me like I was her 35 yr old girlfriend. I love my mother but I really, really , really HATE the boomer generation. Tom Wolfe nailed it when he dubbed them the “ME” generation. As a result the Gen X generation were like feral children. Most of my childhood was unsupervised, which actually was kinda fun but didn’t help me get ready for life as a successful, well rounded adult. I kinda had to figure it out on my own.
That’s why we’re Teenagers in Old People’s bodies
Honestly we were more prepared than the current generation..
I constantly tell my husband that I was on my own basically as a child 😂😢 my parents weren’t going to be bothered by my needs.
Yeah my mom was treating me like her husband at like 10 years old
Yup. Still haven’t figured it out 😝 🤷🏼♂️. I do know that people love controlling others and it’s tiresome.
The reason all this is true is because they were the first generation to be given easy access to the “upper middle class” while being heavily brainwashed by corporate/global interests
I mean, they barred minorities until the government stepped in(even then YMMV) from wealth. Now universally all races of younger people are getting “the boomer piglet dick”
This is true. The TV totally brainwashed them. They are an absolutely messed up generation.
One of the several reasons, but a great observation nonetheless.
Very good point
Israel is their God
My Dad is a boomer and he was not like this. I’m sorry for all the people who have parents like this.
Also most of those hippies were spoiled rich kids who went back to their old lives once they had fun.
1000% accurate. The hippie generation was just an angry carnival of narcissism.
Or at least a reasonable place where you could start all over at a wage that wasn’t 50 percent of your rent!
Yup - while most of our dads got shipped off to Vietnam they were smoking dope, screwing each others brains out and ruining their universities
Not even just the hippies, everyone was partying in the late 60s through the mid 70s. Smoking weed, drinking and driving, passing out in a field. Then they had too much and went reverse on everyone once they voted Reagan in and the war on drugs started.
As someone that was raised around proper hippies that had the sack to at least not become sellouts, Yuppies are fucking disgusting.
Listening to TD talk about boomers is the biggest guilty pleasure ever. It's comedy gold
Never feel guilty for the truth !
My Boomer Father has been saying his Generation is the most selfish and hypocritical generation and that they really f-ed things up. I didnt understand where he was coming from because he nor my mother are like that. But now that Im older, i understand what he was saying now.
Yea mine too. My parents are awesome, generous, selfless people. Recently my dad started openly venting his disgust with other people his age because he sees them going on lavish vacations and, as he sees it, spending their kids' inheritance. He showed a level of contempt I had never seen from him. Meanwhile he and my mom are taking every possible opportunity to help my family with stuff and support us when we need it.
I think the further you get from ww2 the worst people have become.
The shit people put up with today, previous generations wouldn't have put up with.
@@pCeLobster I tell my parents to spend their money. Inheritance tax is nearly 50% and if one ends up in a Nursing home, that money is gone in a year or two. Anyone who thinks they have a right to someone else's money is gross. I have heard people talk about what they get when someone dies, it made me ill. If your parents chose to live a certain life because they want to leave something for their kids, then fine. But there should be ZERO Expectation of doing so. It's great your parents help you when they can. But would you want them to deny themselves things just for a Nursing Home to get it all??
@@pCeLobster- and those people absolutely are. They leave no legacy for their descendants. It’s unnatural to not help develop generational wealth in the family. The Boomers will be considered a generation that took something great and then destroyed it all and made their granchildren pay for it. It’s bonkers.
@@danielmeuler2877- inheritance tax is only for amounts larger than in the millions. Not leaving stuff for your kids is not how people throughout human history functioned. It is NOT normal.
Boomers are the locusts that eat all the crop and move on, leaving famine behind.
They're worse. They eat all the seeds for next years planting as well. Then they eat all the livestock down to bleached dry bone. Then they poison the well and salt the Earth.
Then they move on.
Boomers borrowed so much from the future that they guaranteed the misery of all who come after for 4 generations. We're in 3 and counting. Gen 4 is growing up today and the world they're inheriting is going to be much more poor than the one we had pre-2020.
Really? How?
@@Petebootyfudge5312are you stupid
spoken elegantly, with so much truth
They inherited a country of wealth from the previous generation and will leave the stage having made the next 2 generations poorer (at least). 34 trillion so far.
When boomers were getting married houses could be had for 25-40 thousand, even adjusted for inflation its 1/3 of what it is now.
Explaining to a grown adult that they're being selfish is very frustrating
that's family for ya
Str8 yt shitlib boomers are the single most toxic people on the planet. They mortgaged their children's futures on oil wars, they outsourced all the non-menial jobs they haven't hogged until they reach the grave, and they stuck us with this TQ+ cult nightmare, so they have plenty to answer for where women and gay people are concerned.
The forced, fake laughs are too much, man. Tim Dillon on fire as always tho.
THANK YOU!! I was JUST about to type this. I LOVE laughter and I HATE fake laughter.

They’re like speed bumps on a country lane without suspension in your car, wincing throughout a journey you want to enjoy.
It’s gotten really really bad now. It’s borderline sad to watch.
I recently watched the first time Andrew was on Tim's podcast, about 3-4 years ago.. covid times idk... and even though he's green and nervous back then, that fake ass laugh is still there, coupled with his aching anticipation for his turn to speak next. Not to be mean to Andrew, but he's either autistic or a gold star bellend.
Bill Maher firing his agent and quitting CAA because he didn’t get an invite to the CAA exec’s Christmas Party is the most boomer thing 😂
Well he's apart of their secret clubs. So he's gonna be mad when he's not invited for the orphan sashimi
Bringing up some trivial incident involving a boomer just to make a point is the most millenials thing.

@@BarbaraBaker-c2xbashing millennials for calling out boomer toxicity is boomer toxicity.
For boomers and senior citizens, the current market and economy are unnecessarily harder. I'm used to simply purchasing and holding assets, which doesn't seem applicable to the current volatile market, and inflation is catching up with my portfolio. My biggest concern is whether I'll survive after retirement.
Just buy and invest in Gold or other reliable stock , the government has failed us and we cant keep living like this.
Yes, gold is a great investment and a good bet against the devaluating dollar, been holding some for awhile now, I’m grateful my adviser’s moment by moment changes in the market are lightening quick, cos who know how much losses I would’ve had by now.
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service?

Thanks a lot for this suggestion. I needed this myself, I looked her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
I can't count how many times my mother said she couldn't wait for us kids to grow up and leave. And now she says I never call or visit 😂
Omg, it’s like we have the same mom. 😂 I don’t even go over for holidays anymore and wonders why.
Same - my parents had a crazy alcoholic marriage and wonder why I don’t want anything to do with them 😂
When i was a teenager my boomer mom told me she wished she aborted me and now cries that i only send her a text on her birthday and mothers day.
Just a pychopath saying what they think sounds right
Boomer parents no.1 goal was to kick the kids out of the house the very second it became legal.

He saw his reflection in a mirror
For anyone confused on the generations:
- Lost/Forgotten Generation (fought or were teens in WWI)
- Greatest Generation (fought in WWII)
- Silent Generation (young children or early teens during WWII/Great Depression)
- Baby Boomers (born from Greatest Generation after WWII)
- Generation X (born from Silent Generation)
- Millennials (born from Baby Boomers)
- Generation Z (born from Gen X)
It is important to note that people at the very beginning or end of generations don’t necessarily share commonalities with the rest of their generation. Gen Z front years did not have the same access to technology younger kids in that generation did. Tail end Boomers had a pretty hard life compared to front end because the front end boomers took all the jobs, houses, spots in post secondary, etc.
Spot on.
Gen Z never built anything. The current generations in charge STILL aren’t building anything but apartment spaces that fall apart after a few years. The houses and buildings the boomers built are still standing, but the new builds need repairs before they’re even occupied. They should change the name to the blaming generation because everything they don’t have is somebody else’s fault.
Not one single boomer early or late ever had a difficult moment in their entire life.
Yeah I think that's a very good point. I think about what life would have been like for early boomers in the UK:
Born say 1950, leave school at 14 with no qualifications, walk into a factory and have a job for life, a house 3x your yearly salary, start a family in your late teens/early 20s, everything is fairly simple. Things decline in the late 70s but by that point, you're experienced and other doors are open. Plus you're established, will have some equity in your home.
If you're born in say 1960, you're entering the workforce as things start to go south, so you're already starting to face a battle there. Still doable, but then you're establishing yourself in a more turbulent time in the early 80s.
Yes. Tail-end Boomer here. Interest rates were mid-teens when I started working. Took me 25 years to "make it".
Gen X is way underrated. The fact that a lot of us made it through childhood and teenage years without unintentionally killing ourselves with our absent Boomer parents needs more recognition.
💯
Facts
Not just Gen X. Many Millenials like myself had Boomer parent(s)
GenX.
Always despised the name growing up. As a generation we kick ass!
Came close to death on so many occasions and my boomer parents didn't even know, just my friends and I.

First generation of people who wanted their children to do worse then them. Man that quote summed up my parents so we'll
Yes! The children were there to entertain them and validate their achievements
Oh, they are very needy for validation!
it was the movement from primarily rural to primarily urban life that happened during the “greatest generation”. kids no longer grew up working hand in hand with their parents, grandparents, siblings on the farm, all working to accomplish a common goal, survival of the family. it just changed the culture and ethics of society.

My Grandparents were incredible people, my parents are complete pos.
Thankfully in my case, I was raised by my Grandparents.
Same but my grandparents were pretty hands off because they didn’t want to deal with my insane parents.
My great grandparents were very good people, they cared a lot about the community and the future. The boomers were the first generation that loss the sense of family values and community. They are selfish af
My parents treated wealth as a high score in a video game. There wasn’t a reason to have it other than to say they have a high score and looked at their kids as someone holding them back from getting a higher score.
this is what schooling does to people intergenerationally. Slave engineering children can't replace real parenting and that is why the family unit is collapsing.
This is so true, it’s giving me PTSD. No one has called the police more than the Boomers

And no one belongs in prison more than old fraudulent boomers who get a pass.
PTSD? That's wild

"The Greatest Generation" is the one before the boomers. The one that fought in WWII.
And let their kids do whatever the hell they wanted. They pioneered the “subdivision “ they were the WORST generation
The silent generation is between the greatest generation and the boomers.
Yup
@@Steve-ev6vx Funny how they forget. Most appropriate title.
No. The Silent generation is before the Boomers.
9:00 I distinctly remember the phrase my father used in between disowning me and death threats being "sink or swim". It really didn't occur to him that his job as a parent was to help.
I’m a millennial that grew up with parents born on the cusp of boomer and gen x (1965 &1966). My dad was semi-stereotypical boomer, but instead of saying “I worked hard for this, I deserve this!” like most boomers, he was more “I worked hard and mostly lucked out.” That’s probably some of the pessimism of gen x talking .
Boomers end in 1964, gen x begins in 1965. Your parents were gen xrs not boomers.
Imma gen xer (1979) & both my parents are & was boomers. My mom was young when she passed but my daddy (1951) omg, selfish. Drugs, blaming his addiction on everyone . His parents was born 1909 & 1918 & my grandparents was good parents. With him , it’s like entitlement & no accountability. The boomers messed my generation up frfr.. myself & people in my generation had to grow up too quickly & was forced to become adults when honestly we just wanted to be kids. Our parents made doing drugs was cool & that’s f up frfr.
People born between 1961-1964 shouldn’t really be considered boomers. I know they’re boomers on paper. But they really didn’t have it that great. Boomers born between 1946-1955 had it great.
The way this man describes that generation is like he personally knows my own parents
I'm a zoomer with boomer parents and a millennial brother, hit the nail on the head for the both.
Boomers are largely all the same some are just more successful than others its truly bizarre
As a Gen X we were actually the first victims of the Boomers.
@lethargy764 Actually, you couldn't be more wrong. You just aren't used to being told "no." So, when you are told "no," instead of using that as an opportunity to improve yourself, you whine and cry like a little girl. It's time to grow up and learn how to handle rejection maturely. Clearly, no one has taught you how to be a man, so I will. Buckle up, because this is a lesson you desperately need.
Yep and we're totally ignored in this discussion.....as usual.
Keep crying son
Schultz really can't help but interrupt Tim on every opportunity possible
My boomer parents have co-opted my grandparents problems. Every time I try to explain to them how good they have it they talk about how grandpa fought in WWII or how grandpa jumped a train when he was only 14 to pick grapes in california.
I've found that they use the great depression and world War 2 as excuses for all the pathology in the family. No, we aren't overeating, we are just living out the trauma grandpa experienced in the 1930s. No, we aren't neglectful of the kids and grandkids, we are just making sure we don't coddle them so they'll be strong in the next war (that we are going to start). It's all so tiresome.
My parents do the same thing. I’m 33 and they are 67 and 64. I tell them how good they had it in the 80s and 90s then tell me how their parents struggled as young adults rather than realize that I’m right about them as young adults. They are unable to reflect on how lucky they were then and deflect to something unrelated to try and prove me wrong.
This is such a fascinating topic that Tim has pioneered in recent years. A book or documentary on boomers and the effect on society to this day is absolutely needed.
The book that is needed is the effects WWII had on family dynamics. Unsupervised children in factory parking lots as Rosie built war machines to systematically murder people...that dysfunctional generation raised the boomers yet they are not held to account. The first generation to live on booze, pills, swinging, etc., were the parents of the boomers (Madmen era).
People have been giving these criticisms for almost 30 years. Carlin in ‘96
Tim didn't pioneer this although he is mainstream so speaking against boomers with an audience is good but 4chan has boomer hate threads every day and has for over a decade
Hey outback frank there is a book called A Generation of Sociopaths heard it’s a good read. Haven’t read it myself yet, but I plan on reading it soon.

I think boomers were the start of the "good times create weak men".
GenX here.... we are ok with you guys ignoring us again.
Right!?!?!!
Yeah- them pretending GenX doesn't exist is the most GenX thing ever, because we grew up being ignored.
Don’t worry, gen x are boomers with a little less rcsm . Y’all are no different. You happy now?

GenX is just Boomer light
As a boomer myself, I can attest to my generation being as bad as any in history.
As someone who was out there protesting the Viet Nam war and then turn around and see my generation start one war after another thru my lifetime is depressing. We thought we were going to be the peace generation and, instead, we became the perpetual war generation.
As someone who was a hippie living on a commune at one time (I ended up dedicating my life to making money), to watch my generation ruin the planet chasing a buck is depressing. We thought we were going to be the back to earth generation and, instead, we became the disgusting materialistic generation.
As someone who believed in equality for all and prosperity for all to watch my generation destroy the working class in America is depressing. We thought we were going to be the love generation and, instead, we became the hate generation - racism, classism, xenophobia, religious hatred, cultural hatred - we've got it all.
To watch politics deteriorate to the pandering to the 1% at the expense of everyone else is depressing. We thought we were going to have the most fair minded, equality driven, generous, magnanimous government ever. Instead, it has been the exact opposite.
To watch our generation destroy the planet with impunity in the name of chasing a buck is depressing. We thought we were going to save the earth, instead we are full bore towards destroying it.
We had John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King. All murdered. That was the previous generation. Our generation has vomited up Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Beyond depressing.

Then you listen and he says the generation on the title is the parents of boomers lmao
Your mistaking the silent generation as the greatest generation. Silent were boomers parents, greatest were the boomer grandparents.
It honestly fits perfect. Boomers love to slyly insinuate that they were the generation that stormed the beaches of Normandy while being totally full of shit

Boomers did every drug in the 60s, then 20 years later told everyone not to do drugs. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
The boomers drilled holes in the boat, set in on fire, shot the captain and complained about how we failed to stop them, about how much we all suck as people for not physically preventing them.
We were too busy doing all of their work for them, because [Insert "unarguable" boomer reason here].
Which means that the Silent Generation failed because they didn't enforce limits in the boomers while they were growing up. They want their children and grandchildren parenting them, instead of the other way around.
I tried. I stood up to my father's abuse because my mother would not. He hit me, yelled at my sisters, and he cheated on her. He hates Trump and loves Dr. Fauci and supports the criminalization of conservative media. He is a dangerous totalitarian monster and needs to be locked in prison. He is the only member of my family I have gone no-contact with. Anti-Trump boomers are literally toxic.
I think of the boomers like the generation that climbed the rope ladder to success, and then pulled the ladder up behind them
And then burned the ladder for firewood while making us pay twice as much for gas as we did under Donald Trump.
This is literally a college course waiting to happen. It's like Tim has been a fly on the wall watching my entire life. So dead balls on target its incredible. As a native NYC he crushes every aspect of what NYC boomers are like.

I got that book sitting up on my shelf in my bedroom. Tim is well read and knows his stuff.
Omg. Yes! They resented us for sure! Lol. Mum shoved me in full time when I was 5 weeks old because, you know, "Why on earth shouldn't I have had a career and social life Em? I mean...for goodness sake! The world doesn't revolve around you!" It was my mum's 70's birthday last night. Her speach was all about how hard she and my stepdad worked and why they "deserve every single bit of success" they have enjoyed because of "how hard" they worked, how important her friends are to her...not one mention of my brother's, myself or our children lol. Btw, neither my stepdad nor my mum "worked hard". They both worked in the Australian Public Service. My stepdad still jokes "I learnt never to look out of the window in the morning at work...if you did, you'd have nothing to do in the afternoon." hahaha. They bought their home and holiday house for a pitance and berate us because we haven't bought houses ourselves. Oh...the funniest moment: mum put a "Climent Action Now" sign on their letterbox...they take at least five OS flights every years, drive everywhere etc. They just have no idea!

My Boomer father won custody of me just so he could go to college, smoke weed, and party with his friends. My Boomer Mother wanted to be a movie star and didn’t come back into my life until I was 8 years old. I’ve been their parent for their emotional breakdowns throughout my life, they never grew up, and never took responsibility for their problems. Despite all of their efforts to damage me via abuse or neglect, I managed to survive. Something they are so proud of.. What I can’t figure out is why I still speak to and associate with them. I guess because they are Mom and Dad? I should have walked away from them a long time ago.

I'm a young GenX who had a GenZ kiddo in her 30's. Kiddo is almost 12 years old now. My Boomer parents phoned it in. My only sibling (1yr younger) died in his early 20's train hopping and shooting dope like an old school hobo. I moved out at 17yrs old and tried to be a grown up without a blueprint. My life just kept going sideways. My parents split and partied and thought their job as parents ended when we turned 18. Jokes on them. I'm so fucked up I can't work. My kiddos dad has terminal cancer. He can't work. We're not even together. I broke up with him a few weeks before I found out I was pregnant. I now require help from both parents to survive. My dad drives my kiddo around because I don't have a car. I have 5 comorbid mental health diagnoses and counting. One of them is a personality disorder directly related to my fucked up childhood. I've had to devote my life to healing, mental health and addiction recovery, and whatever I can do to lessen the load on my kiddo, who has had to deal with far too much, and will inherit a dying planet. No fucking wonder that the Jungian shadow of GenZ is nihilism. So many in GenZ have fucked up, older parents from GenX who were never going to have kids cuz we didn't want to be our parents. Then we became our parents. And hated ourselves for it. So we spend the rest of our lives trying to change. Because the Boomers just said, "fuck it. I do what I want." Now, when asked why I don't focus on earning and focus on mental health, I tell those Boomers, "fuck it. I do what I need to because y'all did what you wanted." GenX is about accountability. That's why were overlooked and rarely mentioned. We'll call you and ourselves out. Liars and manipulaters don't like that...
I get it, all boomers are the same, they were all hippies and there wasn't a Steve Jobs or Bill Gates among them. As a result, everyone in your generation is just like you.

WOKE is a Gen X thing Tim. They were doing it in the 90's when millennials were just being born. You attribute the things you grew up with to being "your generation" when really you were a child and those things were created by the previous generations. 70's movies for example were not created by Gen X. 80's stuff was not created by 80's kids.. etc etc
idk man I'm a millenial and hate to say it but I think our generation started all the woke stuff. We made it a big deal and our gen was the first to have social media to spread those ideas. All the speech policing happened much more recently. Not to say political correctness wasn't a gen x thing but we made issues out of non issues a full time job. I blame my generation for that. We had nothing to rail against except corporatism and capitalism so when the establishment shut that down after occupy wall street all the issues became these stupid woke issues.

As an older millennial, he’s spot on about us in a way and it’s a lot of the things I’ve rejected. I saw my peers slipping into it and a lot of friends all of a sudden became acquaintances. All the attention seeking just became bothersome to me someday.
The millenials grew up with social media which made attention-seeking into "normal" behavior. I stay off that stuff for that very reason. I don't seek attention, honestly don't want it, and try to spend my time doing productive things to ensure I have a nice future.
Those aren't millenials, but Gen Z. Millenials just want to be left alone.
