I hate the elderly, not just baby boomers. My grandmother was born in the late 30s and she's a whiny fuck that never worked a day in her life.

See, this shit. women in older generations never worked a day in their fucking life. meanwhile i bust my ass and if i don't manage to earn enough, i get evicted and skip meals. fuck them. whiny stupid lazy shits. running a household is NOT THAT FUCKING HARD. WAAAH YOU HAVE TO COOK? WAAAH YOU HAVE TO WATER A GARDEN? bullshit. I have to run my household AND work 40 hours a week. I hate this shit.
>get married
anymore one salary is not enough for a household. even if i got married i'd still have to work, and now cook and clean even more.
>why aren't you married
i guess you forget that throughout all of human history people had their mate arranged for them, and the boy was all but guaranteed to be a decent guy. now they don't want to settle down until they hit the wall at 30, and if they come into money they'll just cheat on you since all men are godless hedonists controlled by the impulses of their penis.

i want to batter old women. they never worked, and they destroyed the world so that i have to. i god damned fucking despise work. women were NOT designed to deal with stress like that. fucking bitchy lazy indolent old whores. oooh noooo you had to cooooook it's really sooooo hard to chop up vegetables oh noooooo. I WORK EIGHT HOURS (REALLY NINE SINCE LUNCH IS NO LONGER INCLUDED IN THE 9-5) AND THEN COME HOME AND STILL HAVE TO COOK.

fuck boomers. fuck them fuck them fuck them. and fuck the "greatest generation", who the fuck decided to call them that? they fought a big war over absolutely nothing, my country got involved for completely bullshit reasons, and they destroyed europe over nothing. nothing. it was probably just a way for some bigwigs to make a buck and they pushed propaganda to stir up some shit. and now? wages are effectively half as much and instead of being given to a nice husband at age 16 and never having a care in the world while i spend all day warm and comfy at home doing /ck/ things, now i have to walk through swarms of hobos to go to a despicable office job and sit there freezing and miserable dealing with cunts who talk down to me and bosses who want to underpay me and look for any excuse to lay me off.

honestly i agree with this. when they should be looking for a wife they want to be degenerate and try and sleep around as much as possible. then at 30 they get super desperate and will take the first woman who agrees to have them. so either women have to wait until 30 to get married or end up with some creepy guy 10 years her senior who acts like a lecher and will leave her a widow at 60.

That’s actually the result of the feminist movement over the past couple of centuries, since women were largely oppressed and didn’t have that many rights as human beings. Male slaves in some countries in 1800 had more rights than an upperclass woman in England, for instance. So women wanted the power to be masters of their own destiny. Fast forward to today, and you’re the end result of their ideal.

tl;dr
You were born about 1 or 2 centuries too late if you prefer that type of lifestyle, sorry.

Most woman are attracted to guys about five year their senior. Sexuality isn’t the domain of men, and any men who try to compete with woman in that category end up as deranged and absurd as transvestites. The idea of meeting a nice woman your own age and having a relationship as equal partners is a stupid one, which goes against human nature. Men’s domain is adventure, travel, the battlefield, nature, etc. All the things too dangerous and physically demanding for 95% of woman to do— woman realize this and will owe those men a great amount of respect. Become a wild land firefighter or roughnecker for a couple months, then use that money to backpack across Russia/China along the old silk roads. Worrying about getting married as a male under thirty is stupid. Woman are beautiful flowers which blossom young and at best can hope to wilt away gracefully. Men have until their forties to start a family, and as long as they don’t allow themselves to deteriorate (ironically, this is as often caused by marriage as video games) only become more desirable.
Join your countries army, and make a name for yourself young man. When you’re thirty-four you can marry a young girl-child from the caucuses who will worship you.

Peter Thiel gives his explanation why Boomers are so misguided in Zero to One.
He makes the case that Boomers’ formative years were defined by rapidly changing technology and this created the sense that the world changes by itself. Hard work and long term planning by the Boomer wasn’t changing their lives, the changes were coming from “out there”. They therefore never really developed discipline and don’t view the future as definite and malleable but rather as indefinite or something that happens to you.

>> No.13575919

>>13575889
I should add that, according to Thiel, technological advancement has slowed significantly starting in the 1970s, with only computers/IT being an exception. So generations after Boomers have not ended up with a Boomer worldview.

For example, air travel and medicine are not radically different now than they were 50 years ago in the 1970s, but compared with the 1920s both of those fields were markedly changed in the 1970s (50 year difference).

Agree with this. I think Thiel is spot on that the boomers lived in a charmed time that was created for them by the greatest generation. When you think about all the technological innovations from 1950-1980, most of them were runoff from foundational knowledge acquired by researchers during WWII. Nuclear weapons led directly to stuff like the microwave and nuclear medicine (eg MRI scans). Improved ballistics and jet engine technology led to space technology. Radar led directly to the creation of satellite technology. Hell, even cracking the enigma led to computers.

Boomers got it all for free AND they got cheap rent/tuition on top of it because the greatest generation were just that nice. Which is what really ticks me off when my parents complain that I'm still renting, how they got a house when they turned 30. I looked up what rent cost back in the 1980s. A one bedroom apartment cost < $500 in inflation adjusted dollars. I am so fucking mad at how the boomers fucked up the housing market with their speculative bullshit.

sorry lads and lades. everything posted in this thread is boomerish. boomers are self conscious to the degree of delusion. even a zoomer can be a boomer. people default into the boomer mindset because it was the last notable generation of real economic gain. boomer pride and their aging, they are convinced that it was the golden standard of way of life and everything after is inferior. you can see this in msm or any woke politics. we have kids temporally displaced, living the lives their parents think extends to this day and the aging parents living through their kids. this is why barely anyone knows wtf they are saying because they were just taught to say it without questioning. so when you talk politics and all the nu retard media being pumped out, its the old generation going senile, doubling down on what used to be. if you find yourself reading stupid articles or statistics about how shit the new gen is, youre falling for the boomer. its all business when it comes down to it and no established entity wants more competitition. if you dont recognize the resources we have now because of decentralization, and have fallen for senseless hedonism, retarding media, you are living their lives not yours. people are convinced theres nothing to try anymore, everything is cliche. based on what? the boomer standard. doing what 'others are doing' used to make sense because the economy can answer back. now it doesnt, you have to carve your own market. and none of this requires you to act or think like 'someone applying for a job' or 'being a wagie for someone else'. no this is not some revolutionary get rich secret. its all just piles of money fighting other piles of money fighting potential piles of money that are beyond control. relationships are fucked because everyone is made whores for the supposed unending orgy that started decades before they were born. demographic demoralization based on emerging trends. panopticon pills.

Ancient rome had grain dole, provided free of charge by government to anyone. Welfare state to placate the plebs is hardly anything new. You can band-aid for sure, but it's a stretch to claim you've fixed the system.

As predicted by Lord And Savior Marx? The problem with you commies is that you somehow insist that progress diffuses power - while in reality, exactly the opposite happens - the more technology allows for a single man to amplify power, the more potential for wealth to concentrate in one place. Sure we can have everyone live in luxury - we have the means for 100 years by now. But we're just silly apes with crab mentality, wanting to stand on the backs of one another. Technology won't change that, you can as easily monopolize robots just like one can monopolize google search. You'd need to somehow change the ape.

History just doubles down on the ape pattern, with each technological step. And it's not even the material disparity and lack of purpose which makes the empire fail and restart the cycle, but fertility crash due to no upward mobility.
