   Losing my patience in a rare moment of irritation w/ work boomers. The gatekeeping, the arrogant braggadocio it takes to rub your nose in the life they got to lead - the life they BRAG about to your face, while proudly preventing that world's return - really wears on me in a novel and irritating way.

   It's always the same, they brag about the fun, the ease, the jobs, and then say "woah no way you can't do that! I know I got that job with 1/5th the experience and certification you did, gaining me greater earning years and zero educational debt, but we can't let anyone do that anymore because....it's better for everyone else! No, it's wrong to expect ME to meet that same standard, but you should! Instead of whining about the lofty requirements of the post-hartcellar world you just need to suck it up and play the game"

   It's still refreshing to tell them "I want you to remember this in 20 years when you wake up in confusion to realize they put you in a commercial home. When the haitian orderly comes to gruffly wipe your ass, remember that you said 'society doesn't own you a fuckin' thing!!! You don't have a RIGHT to anything!!!' "

     That last insult is tough to deploy without them interrupting though, usually I'm lucky to get the first line deployed before they start fighting the idea they'd be put in a home

     From there, you can tell them they "aren't entitled to family care, suck it up" but that takes you too far off track

     @givenup I'm normally good at this stuff, I can tousle with guys and take the opposing positions, but having this convo always pisses me off. These faggots got to walk on the jetway and get a job with maybe a quarter of the experience that kids today have to have, and instead of just empathizing and saying the change sucks they have to lecture you about how things are "better" this way.

     Nevermind that there simply aren't any jobs in the gutted, extinct industry to get that necessary experience, they'll bitch about how "we all need to pay our dues", refusing to acknowledge the fact their dues were $300, and ours are $1,500

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @givenup all of this will breed a generation that simply takes.

     @pyrate @givenup I'm constantly explaining that to these people - even the little things are tearing at the social fabric, yet they continue to act like it's still in the same state it was half a century ago. They cannot understand that it's not an act - nobody will accept the draft, nobody will care to stop for their flat tire, nobody will give them a place to stay in a crisis. I'ts all totally shredded

     @WashedOutGundamPilot naw i fuckin' agree just in general dude, the assholes gto a cushy life and awalys tell you how hard they worked for it, when they had easy street, it's so annoying, there is the occasional boomer that actually see's what's going on with the kids and is like "this ain't good" but he still ain't doing shit, BUT it's so nice to just hear someone be like "yea i get it" you give 'em a pass.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @pyrate @givenup Yeah, I've had this discussion in the break room multiple times. The Boomers can't seem to get it through their head how whenever there's talk of a draft, everyone under 40 just says "Fuck them, I won't go."

     And the Boomers are just like, "But they'll make you." Like there's anyone with the actual political will to try and force that.

     @givenup @WashedOutGundamPilot @pyrate Hell, during one of those arguments, one of the zoomers went "officers aren't bulletproof, and they are there willingly. . . ". And just smiled with a maniacal grin

     @Codeki @givenup @pyrate Yeah, the young guys get into it. We don't have enough of them, so unless it's just the two of us and the guy's trustworthy enough to be truthful with....it's usually me v. 8 boomers as I pretend to be aghast, horrified....that I think you'd sooner see people taking potshots at random draft enforcers than you would a line around the block at the recruiting station strip mall

     @Nickger @WaifuPoaster88 The more blue collar ones and rural types are much better though. Nobody w/ good boomers really goes around bragging about it. For every one douche who brags about no inheritance I know IRL, I can think of 2 who bail their kids out and tell them they're happy to backstop them in the awful world of today.

     Even that one kid I knew who was cut off from the family? His dad later made up, said he felt bad about it, offered to pay the guy's degree as long as it got him back on his feet. Pretty cool

     @WaifuPoaster88 @WashedOutGundamPilot never met a us-boomer myself, but they'd definetly do that from what I've heard. poor nasty-shitcuntness. to be fair, i can't stand them in my euro-country either. but only american ones spend their money on a new RV and gab pro subscriptions while their kids are drowning in debt ("bootstrap harder")

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Nickger @WaifuPoaster88 Lots of boomers I know are in that halfway area where they'll say nigger but then only listen to black ted talks because muh based black man talks about Jesus! You see this a lot with military vets for some reason.

     They're used to a high-trust society and so you can somewhat rely on them for that, so long as you return the favor. It's nice, feels like a glimpse of the past. Most of the bad boomers I've met usually are too rich to empathize or associate themselves with everyone else, so interactions are kept to a minimum. I assume the more I climb the corpo ladder, the more I'll be forced to rub shoulders with them, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

     @veff @Nickger @WaifuPoaster88 Look at their timelines - those guys are just swamped with BASED NIGGER™ content, they can't get away. It's the only thing keeping them on the wagon, the thought that all the blacks are just one good ideology away from being human
