are there any psychology/sociology books explaining why boomers are so comically evil?
>>
you dont really need a book, they grew up in extreme post war prosperity, they were the luckiest generation. from 1945-2008 it was a golden age economically, socially, culturally.
The thing is millennials and zoomers would sell out too if they were boomers. being able to buy a house, raise kids, changes a persons politics.

Picrel. But it also explains why you are so comically evil so probanbly not what you want.

Congratulations, you have just been drafted!

>Boomers
Its most people

"most people" didn't offshore most of their nation's industries overnight at the behest of private interest groups and tycoons, leading to rapidly declining living standards and the proliferation of poverty

You're just mad because you got the shit end of the stick. If you were the one reaping the benefits you'd have zero problems with the scenario.

Tbh that's not just boomers its pretty.much everyone in the US with some power and influence

"most people" don't upload videos of themselves online laughing when they kick their child out of their home as soon as they turn 18
"most people" aren't on holiday for half the year sipping martinis and saying that things back home are "just fine" while entire cities are going up in flames
"most people" aren't pro-israel
"most people" aren't hellbent on dismantling the entire education system
"most people" aren't bringing in unlimited numbers of people from underdeveloped countries into the west to keep economy numbers inflated and votes secured
"most people" aren't in charge of managed decline of their societies
and so on

boomers from places like east asia are much more respectable

No, thirdie. You are not the bearer of all thats pure and untainted.

>>24773252
I wouldn't go that far

>>24772070
boomers glorified radical socialism in a way that you only see in a few white millenial women and their sychophants, it's not really the same thing, boomers destroyed the Western world on a whim

>>24773262
i'm from europe and i'm just as much of a petite bourgeoisie as any amerikan. still i at least understand my class position.

True, but I wouldn't think to the extent that it has been for them. However many groups, like the rich, modern women, etc behave in such a way they act as if they're the only people who exist in the world. You can see this by the large body counts the latter gets, creating more mouths to feed that comes out of the back pockets of taxpayers and the fact that most men are virtually invisible to them. The rich also creates policies which only benefits them, such as nepotism (yes I know a lot of them are Jewish so it goes without saying). The only reason that none of them have been diagnosed with antisocial personality disorders is because they hold the majority of power and therapy is only for the male underclass so they can be mentally castrated.

>>24773274
Class as a metric of division is reductionist anyways and the fact that Europeans still measure themselves by such shows their inherent tunnel vision.
>>
>>24773282
you only think that because in amerikan society there's no class but the (petite) bourgeoisie one. but i do agree about the european tunnel vision (although the same problem exists among the amerikan settlers), since a lot of people delude themselves into thinking they're the proletariat when they're in fact the opressors.

words like prole or bourgeois aren't conducive to the English vocabularly, they stick out like misplaced buzzwords. They don't have a strong etymologically history in English, as much as the words troon or based do. Use of them is acknowledging that you only really want to talk with other Marxists or whatever, which is ironic since at least from what I gather, the point is to express these ideas in breadth with the wider world.
>>
>>24773318
Just be quiet and make my doner. I don't like back talk from my street vendors.
>>
>>24773318
No, I know I'm right. Its funny how the Annales tradition (in your continent no less) in history existed to combat crass materialism but it looks like you haven't been taught your proper lesson it seems.
>>
>>24773331
Oooooh! No E Didn't!
>>
>>24773330
Or they could just be a third worlder with repressive psychosis. Its funny how the left loves to psychoanalyze the right but when the other shoe drops sudden its like "someone needs to ban and imprison this person!" Very transparent. All leftists are Stalinists when push comes to shove it seems.

-The culture of narcissism
-the age of entitlement.
>>24773224
When you say Americans you are speaking about a caricature which is completely divorced from reality and in truth most closely matches individuals of your own ideological persuasion since you are incapable of empathy and can only understand your own mental processes, projecting them onto others.
>>
>>24773353
I have no idea what that means, but I would liken it to a college student being too lazy to apply non-English language ideas.
>>
>>24773365
I'm not sure why it matters anyways. Hypocrisy should be illegal anyways.
>>
>>24773270
it really is incredible, isn't it? not only did they grow up in the most prosperous time in human history but they felt the need to dismantle the system that gave them that prosperity
i'm not completely well-read on the topic so feel free to correct me if i'm wrong but the mai 68 riots were but a taste of what the boomers were going to do to the western world
>>
>>24773533
I wonder if there's a correlation between getting everything you want and being unhappy.

It is just capitalism
