Boomer Hate Thread

[Iron Jaguar]

I do wonder how far the brainwashing goes. To me it feels like an act that as they got older slowly forgot was an act. I remember a relative mentioning they were thinking of leaving their inheritance to charity.

I gently reminded them they were in the process of suing their siblings over their parents estate and why they didn't simply give that to charity. I think I saved my niece's inheritance that day...

I really hate the whole "leaving it all to charity" schtick. These are always people who did nothing for others during their lifetimes, so they're trying to buy their way into Heaven after death. They also are often motivated by the idea that their Big Donation is going to be super meaningful and their Legacy To The World!, which is an incredible conceit but typical of the Boomer narcissist mentality. If you could convince Boomers that a statue of themselves was the best gift to leave to posterity, Carrara marble would be quarried out of existence overnight.

You can see it affecting churches as well. Church has become alot more about money.

An interesting statistic is that Boomer church goers are less likely to believe in Prosperity Gospel, but my theory is that there is simply a smaller pool of younger church goers because many see this and become atheists or vaguely spiritual. Younger Latino protestant migrants believe this so I think that is also affecting that statistic.

In my personal life, ive seen a mass exodus (lol) from protestant churches by young christians into catholic or usually orthodox churches. But thats those who actually want faith in their lives. A lot of young people embrace the easy answer of vague spirituality with no responsibility attached, like you say.

Didn't this specifically piss Jesus off? Priests selling get out of purgatory papers?

He grew up in a high class family but sought out the attention of the local degenerates,

now in his 60s he's rediscovered weed

You just gave me a horrifying vision of what half the suburban zoomers I grew up with will be like in 40 years.

Sorry to double post, but I've seen this, IRL, it's weird. Of the zoomer Protestant exodus, half of them become degenerates while being vaguely "spiritual" as you say, the other half retain a semi-puritan mentality while rejecting the religion and again just being vaguely "spiritual", or converting to Catholic/Orthodox.

In a way, the ones ditching religion to be degenerates or "spiritual" is a repeat of the boomers, many boomers were raised in very traditional Christian churches (even if Protestant) but ditched religion entirely, or switched to more liberal denominations. Most conservative boomers only care about Christianity because it's where they can meet other boomers who worship Israel and have Republican political views.

Also the Orthodox/Catholic churches getting younger converts is a real phenomenon, but largely driven by politics/culture and not theology. Basically a lot of the younger converts want some kind of connection to "traditional" culture and the lifestyle that comes with it.

 

[The Nothingness]

Boomers have no leg to stand on with complaining about younger generations having no respect when they spent the 60s and 70s thumbing their nose at authority. Then a number them became "educators" and taught gen x and millennials how to be rebels. Millennials took what they learned from boomers, became more politically active, and are now teaching the zoomers.

No, because Purgatory is a Catholic invention. But the principle of what you say is correct.

I've been doing some contracting work recently and most of that work has been in the 50+ gated communities. When ever I show up the old people are very nosy and always give dirty looks as they apparently don't even like young people showing up to do work in their community. When I do work on their homes most of them are sitting at the TV with the volume maxed outat 10 in the morning with the news going and they just sit there glued to the TV for hours at a time.

The whole concept of these boomer communities is frankly anti social, and it is mostly boomers because the generation before them are in nursing homes now. They want the benefits of a community and services without providing any benefits to the neighboring community. They put up walls and gates and are very territorial and they want to slowly decay sitting on their wealth. Instead of living in a normal community and paying a kid to mow their lawn or shovel their snow they bring companies in, and instead of bringing Joe from down the street to do renovations they bring an outside. They bring in nurses and helpers instead of getting a family member, young person or student rent and be able to help them. Just miserable people living next to people just like them. They love diversity and the slop foods it brings without living with any of its consequences. They should not be allowed to vote.

[Grimoire Canthari]

About a week ago, I was flying from Retardsville to Gaytown, then from Gaytown to my home. There's about 50 minutes between my plane landing in Gaytown and when my final flight leaves. Deplaning usually takes 10-15 minutes alone and we already had to wait a bit to get to our gate. The Gaytown airport is also massive.

This boomer is in the aisle holding up 1/3 of the plane by refusing to move despite there being a huge 10 person gap between him and the next people ahead of him who were hauling ass as best they could. At first I thought he was waiting for his family to get out but no, it was for 3 jeets one row ahead of him who weren't even trying to leave their seats.

I had less than 20 minutes to get to my next flight because some fat old cuck wanted to farm non racism points. I hope he gets scammed into poverty by the jeets he loves so much.

“Buying their way into heaven” is really apt. That’s a great insight. It is never an institution or cause they showed anything but a token loyalty to in life either. It’s one of life’s paradoxes— it’s ignoble not to count your own wellbeing and interests first, but just as ignoble to cling to self-preservation.

Just remember most boomers who are still working is because of shit like this.

I can attest to this. I work. In building custom houses as well as general construction. And I was just in a. Community where the average home price is a 1,000,000 plus. Yeah, there was a lot of. Nice families, but there was just a bunch of ugly ass crusty boomer homosexuals.
And I can see why these people vote left leaning. They don't have to deal with the consequences of their actions. Nimbyism is a real phenomenon.
But you I saw a lot of older General X parents with young kids. Don't know how they had those.
And what you would say is the respectable negroes and minorities, but mainly white. Boomers and. They are insufferable assholes.
You cannot work past a certain time fixing my luxury house. And doing my renovations. I also do not want a dumpster on my street and I do not want to see a Porta John.
And every time I ask these people what they do, they say, well, I'm a consultant. None of these people have any real jobs.
The only guy I actually like was this psychotic guy who owns a massive. Laser printing business and as a billionaire and has a fully automatic weapon in every single room. He was cool. But he also prints signs for everyone on both sides of the political spectrum.
He was happy with what we built for him and. Tipped us in very expensive whiskey and cigars and also asked everyone if they wanted to go to IS. Indoor basement shooting range and fire off a bunch of automatic ak.
That boomer was pretty cool, actually.


I was also in the doctor's office. Getting a few things checked out that my doctor wanted to. Deal with. And the amount of boomers who were in the same doctor's office every single week is astonishing. I swear that these people clog up every single specialist with every little ache and Boo Boo.

No, Jesus lost his shit at money lenders, gamblers and other undesirables physically conducting the business in the temple of his father. In my opinion it is one of Jesus's best teachings. Reserve your fury for those who use your beliefs for their own gain, like boomers.

That was Martin Luther and how it basically kick-started Protestantism.

It's funny because it's just a last ditch effort to do any "good" in their lives. They hoarded wealth, screwed others over and just consumed slop, then think that just giving us the leftovers out of their fridge will be satisfactory. Another way to screw over their own families as well, leave it to some charity you may or may not know is particularly trustworthy. Being a wealthy Christian means you use your wealth and influence to help others who are not as fortunate, not because you are doing it out of good will, but it's practically an obligation to do so.

I've mentioned in one of the gardening threads that I am helping clean up a very neglected garden.
The job feels endless, and I can only commit to a couple hours a week at most.

This backyard (and frontyard!) has a bunch of classic "boomer that only kind of likes to garden" decisions
mind you this is a small garden, and I'll spare the details on things that are just sheer neglect (but believe me I have a lot of dead/marked for death stumps to pull)
>rock mulch, everywhere.
>rubber borders
>it's 75% just lawn (and related weeds), of course.
>and last but not least : THE WEED FABRIC...

Did you know? Boomers got literally psyopped into using Geotextiles everywhere EXCEPT for their precious, precious lawns. And even then, I'd guess the reasoning is probably cost.

Before I go to much further, I would like to tell you I actually met the person who claims to have invented the weed barrier / landscape fabric segment of the lawn and garden industry. I am not going to name them or the company they belong to but I will tell you this. The person CLAIMS they were just trying to sell more of their geotextiles. Geotextiles are used when installing hardscaping such as pathways and patios as well as under features such as a potato stone “mulched” area.

Basically the only real use for """""weed"""" fabric is if the area you are putting is for reasonably heavy traffic, because it prevents the hardspace from sinking into the soil. A useful feature, sure, but it does not prevent weed, matter of fact it makes them harder to remove, specially the ones that grow (and regrows easily from) underground.

tell that to a boomer and watch them be like "nooo you just gotta maintain it by replacing it every 5 years or so"
bruh....I don't want to do this (removing all the rock mulch and weed fabric) NOW, I will NOT commit to doing this EVER AGAIN.

>and last but not least : THE WEED FABRIC..

Currently fucking dealing with this same exact shit right now working on my grandparents property.
The amount of little scraps of bullshit I've pulled out of the ground is going to be my 13th reason why.

They keep INSISTING on using this shit despite me explaining that IT DOESNT WORK. I've conceded for

because it prevents the hardspace from sinking into the soil

This. Under a path of pavers (that they refuse to use a gravel base for, because "we didn't use it last time!" meaning I'll probably have to do this shit again in 10 years when it all sinks for a second time, which is the reason I have to redo them now.)

I finally convinced them to let me try weeding everything else really well then putting cardboard under the new mulch to kill off and prevent weeds. People seem to swear by it but I've never tried it. But it HAS to be better than the fabric shit, right? And since they are old boomers absolutely addicted to next day delivery Amazon chink shit, there's plenty of boxes to use for it.

Total landscaping fabric death. The person who invented it needs to be strung up in the town square with it.

Just trying to reason with boomers, even the ones you love, about the most minute things makes you want to pull your own fucking teeth out.

If you try to explain anything, you're arguing with them, or questioning their authority and expertise and they perceive it as a fight or insult instead of just trying to educate them on better alternatives for something. ~~gen X is just as bad~~

Fucking exhausting.
