[–] alexquiniou@lemmy.zip 27 points 1 month ago (8 children) Stop this bullshit of old gen vs new gen. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago* (6 children) 100% I’m Gen X and starting to see a lot of the boomer “uphill both ways to school in the snow with no shoes” bullshit from Gen X. STFU you asshats. My generation simultaneously says it had the greatest time and then turns around and whines about whatever manufactured hardship they come up with when talking about outher gens. Yeah, we DID and DO have the best of both pre- and post-tech worlds, we arguably had the last shot at the traditional school, college, walk-in-your-resumee career, then buy a home, and the generational motto is “fuck you” if anyone even remembers us, but siddown. Don’t turn into our parents, you assholes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] GalacticRobot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (5 children) Millennials are already doing the same thing. Suffering Olympics about how they have had it worse than anyone else but at the same time are the best generation ever produced. FFS. We are all on this planet together, we really should work on improving it for everyone, rather than trying to tear each other apart of perceived slights. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (4 children) I’d argue that the Millennials did have it bad. They got told they’d have the traditional path, then got shat on by boomers constantly telling them it was their fault for not succeeding because “avocado toast” and “Starbuck’s coffee”. Meanwhile the boomers kept yanking the rug out from under eveyone with boom-bust recessions while saying “oh, that just happens every “x” years” while pillaging the economy by deregulating and consolidating. The milennials got lied to, hard. Generations after them had the “benefit” of knowing they were already fucked. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] GalacticRobot@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago (3 children) Every generation has it's own problems. I am sure Millennials think they had it bad until you realized Silent Generation had WWII, Boomers had Vietnam, Gen X had Iraq, it goes on and on. And yes, there is certainly a problem with society in general that has allowed for the rise of rampant consumerism following the 1950's and hasn't stopped. Millennial's didn't get lied to, they decided to act like their parents and not care about fighting a system that doesn't care about them. Then they had children that care even less. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] velma@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (2 children) Iraq directly affected millennials as well, by the by. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GalacticRobot@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 child) So did Vietnam.
