    Joe Biden is too old to be a Boomer, technically. He’s part of the Silent Generation. So really he’s just doing the traditional Silent Generation part of bowing out so a Boomer can take over.

      Mark my word… Boomers will be way more savage.

      They hate the poors and they hate young people outright. Policy will reflect this bias.

      Younger ones feel like they didn’t get their fair share since clowns like buffet etc are still running the regime. So once they finally get that power, get read for the fuckening

        Boomers have been in control for a long time. They are dying now thankfully. Gen X is just now up and most of us aren’t dipshits…

          Ehh I’d say quite a good amount of Gen X are like “Boomer-Lite” in how they act and live, if not full on Boomers. Especially the earlier half of the generation.

            Yeah, we seem to have split into either “boomer-like” or “millennial-like” groups.

          Boomers have been the public face of the regime ran by the silent generation owners and their crotch fruit.

          It is changing now as tech daddies and other newer oligarchs are taking over, who are mostly boomer.

          Gen X sold out in my personal experience at least the ones who got out of middle management. They act just like boomers, it is their turn to get paid.

        You’re describing basic human psychology. There’s nothing special about boomers in this regard.

        I think it’s weird that “hatred of the poor” has no convenient name, like “hatred of other races” or any number of other biases do. It’s almost universal.
