The material conditions and sociopolitical norms for a large demographic group of people were such that the majority of them actively and deliberately destroyed social safety nets and privatized everything they could in the hopes of making a quick buck and sticking it to the (slurs), and you're only upset that some people fucked over by that group are feeling schadenfreude about that group now experiencing what they had been dishing out.
Tldr: collective guilt 👍
One sentence was "too long, didn't read" for you. 👍
And your collective condemnation of the people you look down upon for having unsanctioned feelings is the superior take. 👍
I would like the stroganoff treatment for personal tragedies that occur in your life, please. Just inform me when something big happens.
That's already old and stale. Your attempt to hitch a ride on it explains why you're so defensive about the boomer demographic in general. I doubt you're that old, but boomer is by and large a state of mind and you seem to fit that state of mind.
Except decades of suffering that boomers as a demographic inflicted on those younger (and in the past, on those older) than themselves. That's fine and good because the smol bean boomers are special and better than those that came before them and after them and deserve all of the sympathy, including for things they inflicted on everyone, including themselves.
Fuck all the way off with your smarmy concern trolling.
You live in a bubble world of smug condescension, so chances are you won't notice anything anyway.
You're begging for sympathy for a demographic group that by and large were known for their entire lives for being abrasive condescending selfish assholes, and your way to demand sympathy is by acting abrasive and condescending.
You're not demonstrating any for the people hurt by boomers in the long decades that they had near total economic and political control.
Your smug levels are already off the charts. You may break the meter.
