"Morbid Boomer remover coronavirus meme only maes millenial seem more awfull"

Hello,

Apparently, the generation war continue, but as far as I know, it's not only a matter of millenials, Gen Z loved that meme also.
Quite ironic considering how much the lefty boomer scorned their elders than now they lecture millenials and Gen Z about being "awful".

 

Our current way of doing things is unsustainable. We cannot keep young people institutionalized into their mid 20s, saddle them with no property but a ton of debt and remain a free society. The millennials know this and resent the boomers for putting them in this mess. How can they be upset that the people that set the whole thing up are getting the brunt of this virus? At least there be fewer collecting unfunded pensions on the backs of these millennials.

 

Not surprising in the least.

Trump's Politics of Division and Incivility have Divided America.

Trump's brand of Divisive Politics ( "Us vs Them") is now contributing to a Generational War between Millennials and Boomers.

Thanks Alot, Trump!:smh:

 

I think it's important to not over react to that, there is a few millenials that actually hate boomers, but the fact that meme culture love to laugh about everything, and is heavily into absurd, cynical and dark jokes.
Furthermore, the post millenial crisis is a little bit more complicate than that, and also heavily impacted by new technologies, mass pornography, over consumption of online content and video games are part of that.

There was resentment against boomers among the millenials a long time before Trump was elected. Furthermore, american hated each other also under Obama.

 

Aren't you just being part of the problem by playing along with labelling people simply on the basis of their "generation"? I don't see the point at all and at worst it's no different to racism or sexism.

The New York Post is obviously feigning disgust while at the same time promoting the whole idea to a much wider audience than the few hundred interacting with it on Reddit. The main difference is that they're making money out of it.

 

Sure.

Just like "Gun Crime" was committed in the 1790s.

And, "Gun Crime" is committed in the 2000s.

Like the above example, Trump just took things need a New (and Much More Disturbing) Level.

 

(Shrug) I'm a boomer and I think it's funny. As for the younger generations they too -- though right now they don't believe it -- are going to gradually age and as they age they will increasingly be blamed for the world around them.

At some point it will occur to some of them that they actually had nothing to do with how things turned out, and that while a tiny percentage of their age peers held real power and influence they on the other hand never did; yet they are being blamed for what that tiny percentage of greedy and arrogant or even stupid narcissists did.

A great many Millennials are either already in their early thirties or about to enter that age zone, and so they are up next for the extended generational blame game as . . . they . . . age and get older and older. Mwahahahahahahaha!

 

Well said, Gate.

Circle of Life, Etc.

 

Hmmm. I can see the (dark) humor in "Boomer Remover" as funny without associating any other emotions to it. But I also see humor in calling coronavirus "Wuhan Sniffles" or "Kung Flu Virus" without attaching anything other than humor to it (like racism). I suppose I am part of the meme culture who sees humor in a lot of things just for the sake of humor...even "mean meme" humor.

Then again, I'm part of the ignored, but distinct, generation that no one pays attention to, sandwiched between Boomers and Millennials. Perhaps GenX'ers created the meme culture and it caught on.

 

Millennials are the worst generation in centuries. They will destroy this planet.

 

Yep. Every generation blames their parents' generation. Until they get old.

 

Our grandparents thought that of or parents and our parents thought that of us. They were all correct, but perhaps ahead of their time. Eventually some generation really will destroy the planet.

 

The gradual decline in family and morals are the biggest factors for me. Long gone are the days of civility and cohesion. The future is a bleak one.

 

Yes, we can wax nostalgic for days when we had a cohesive unified culture, strong agreed-upon moral values, and closer family and community ties, but we can't bring them back. The future looks bleak to me as well, but I'm getting old. I used to want to live be 100; now I'm hoping that I don't.

The younger generations are the future decision makers. Might as well meme.

 

For sure, the NYP is really a pure trash "newspaper". I think it's interesting to look at it, but I take nothing as they say as serious.

I think a lot of people have difficulties to speak of general trend, you have globally trends among population, and you can speak of those trend without assuming it's a general truth.

There were always inter generationnal tensions. I suppose that globally, ungratefull children would have themselves ungratefull children.

The planet will be fine, the institutions we live in, much less.
I'm part of that generation, even if I suppose we tend to have huge problem of narcissism and huge victim complexe, I have difficulties to blame them. Most people got their brain destroyed by over consumption of series, pornography, video games, furthermore, I have the feeling there is a growing distrust between men and women in that generation.

 

Some cultures have done a better job in maintaining a reverence for the wisdom which only comes from age and experience.

In America, kids spend more time with teachers and other influencers than they spend with parents, and those teachers are essentially telling them not to listen to what their parents have to say. That two working-parent dynamic started during the Boomer's child-raising years. So did "easy" divorce. Children essentially belong to the state now and think what the state tells them to think. Unsurprisingly, Millennials have no use for their parents, credit cards and free room-and-board excepted.

 

A confused millenial speaks. At least we "boomers" don't blame others for our problems.

 

Yes and no. I think that globally the idea to blame generations as a whole is dumb, but "boomers" generations are the one who made the state the most in debt, and a lot of generations would have to pay those debts.
However, 1) collective responsibility is dumb, either blaming black people as a whole for their higher crime rate or blaming white people for slavery 2) Millenials are quite fond of state paying for everything.

 

The victim card, the blame game, and a lack of personal responsibility, all in one post. Spoken like a true millennial. I don't know if you are one, or if you're simply around them so much that you can channel their thinking perfectly, or maybe you're mocking them with your post and we need a sarcasm font.

Nobody is "keeping" anyone "institutionalized" beyond perhaps highschool, nobody deserves property for free (sorry, millennials), and nobody is saddling anyone with any debt.

To blame millennials' loser situations on "boomers" is ridiculous and shows the lack of awareness and lack of responsibility which is why millennials are so highly criticized and mocked in the first place. Talk about the generation of entitlement.

Nobody is forced to go to college, and of those who choose to go to college, they are free to choose more affordable colleges and more promising majors/degrees. They're also free to work hard and earn success, the way the generations before them did.

People, millennials included, need to take responsibility for their own choices. Don't blame "boomers", don't blame the politicians, don't blame your parents, don't blame anyone but yourself. Personal responsibility is one of the first steps towards keeping this country on the right path.

Signed,
a gen x'er who has a helluva lot more respect for boomers than for any entitled spoiled millennial

 

I'm right on the Boomer-Gen X borderline and I think its funny, too.

Lighten up, people!

Furthermore, Boomers crap on Millennials and Gen Zs all the time. I would think they don't want to be known as a bunch of thin-skinned humorless hypocrites who can dish it out but can't take it.

 

It's hilarious how the Left always projects its own sins onto others.

Thanks for reminding us that self-awareness and introspection have never been and never will be "progressive" traits....

 

Hey look on the bright side. This will decrease the medical costs for insurance companies.

 

I think it’s hilarious! I find most dark humor hilarious though, lol.

 

A generation didn't do that. A corrupt, oversized government did that with the support of voters of all ages.

However, 1) collective responsibility is dumb, either blaming black people as a whole for their higher crime rate or blaming white people for slavery 2) Millenials are quite fond of state paying for everything.[/QUOTE]

That is the fault of our educational system which is fairly incompetent thanks to unions, government and lack of accountability.

 

We've not even established a general trend though. I don't see any effort to determine the ages of all the people creating and propagating these memes (including the NYT hacks of course), just assumptions based on preconceived conclusions. "Millennials hate Boomers, something bad is said about Boomers, therefore Millennials must be guilty".

If you establish a trend you can legitimately discuss that trend but even then it should be within the relevant context and not stretched to wider generalisation.
