Baby Boomer Hate: The New Racism |

My friends, it is difficult for me to discuss it, but I must bring you some bad news. Young people have invented another new and disturbing trend: Baby Boomer bashing. As if their other inventions — truancy, talking back, and pre-emptive military strikes — weren't enough, they descend to this new low. Should hating an entire generation be considered a form of racism? Yes, I certainly think so. You might say: "Excuse me, sir, I get your point — but aren't you going a little overboard?" No, absolutely not. We're really hurting here, guys. My people are being discriminated against, just like blacks in the South in the 1950s. There's no difference: we're being segregated. It's a new form of apartheid. We, the retirees, are the real victims. Nelson Mandela should be supporting us. Worry about us. Feel sorry for us. Our pensions and Social Security payments are at risk. Sure, the systems that sustain those funds were built on dubious grounds, and we never objected, but that's not my fault. You promised me. We would work, you would pay for our retirement. I know I might sound a little childish here, like a spoiled kid screaming at his mom: "But you promised I could have dessert if I ate all my vegetables!!!" I can assure you, though, it's absolutely nothing of the sort. I know it's difficult for young people today to assume a condition of moral awareness and intelligence. That's why you need to listen to me and respect my authority. You see, my generation was instrumental in advancing the civil rights movement, and the whole world has been a stunned witness to how much we accomplished. In major cities like Detroit, there is now a near 100% literacy rate among black high school students, and nearly 100% of them graduate. Pretty impressive, right? Yes, if I do say so myself, but it shouldn't stop there. We need a new civil rights movement — one that protects the most vulnerable and innocent class of society: Baby Boomer retirees. My people. Me. You should be asking yourself right now: "What can I do to help?" The first thing you can do is join a very important social movement.
The Gray Panther movement is NOT only for "craggy old curmudgeons." It's about age and youth in action. So there has never been a better time to join, and together we can work out a way for you to finance my pension. See? That could be you right there, in the pink skirt. Helping out. And although we're very hard workers, we do set aside some time for fun. After all, we're human beings. Don't just take my word for it. You can always count on the testimony of brother Ken. Right. Now let's hammer out our agenda. The first thing we need to do, to protect my people, is to strike pre-emptively. This is the tried-and-true way to deal with potential problems. Now, I know this might sound a little crazy, but I need to ask you to volunteer yourself, boys and girls, to go dutifully to prison, so that you won't pose any threat to our retirement communities, our talk radio stations, etc. I'll even say "please." It will be a sacrifice, I know, but it's for your own good. Believe us: It's best for everyone if we lock you up now. |

THE HUNGRY WOLVES OF VAN DIEMEN'S LAND
ISBN: 978-1499282092
"The Baby Boomer generation (known as 68ers in Europe) pulled out all stops when it came to rebelling against their elders, but were treated with kid gloves by the ‘pig system’ they affected to overthrow. What would happen, though, if a new generation decided to rebel against them?
That’s exactly what occurs when a group of young Tasmanians embark on an extended campaign of subversion, exposing the many hypocrisies of the Boomer establishment...
'The Hungry Wolves of Van Diemen’s Land' is a satire that works on a number of levels. It is a book desperately needed by the Zeitgeist of this pivotal era...if you read only one novel this decade, you had better make it this one."

And computers! which we invented in our dads ball sacks.
And we landed on the moon.. when the oldest of us were 20. And we fought for civil rights most of us were in elementary school
and we gave the world peace with the help of boomers like bush
your joking right?
the hippie generation is telling us not to do drugs (while I do agree) there is a disgusting level of hypocrisy in that statement. Thats like someone who's eating a burger telling you about the importance of a healthy diet. Where is the logic in that? I mean come on! what the fuck?
Nelson Mandela definitely should have dropped everything he was doing to help baby boomers of the western world who really have it unfair! In Fact lets rename ANZAC day to "BABYBOOMERS HAD IT TOUGH" day in honour of the pot smokers and the importance of not doing drugs. This is why we think your a joke and this is why we hate you.
Change is coming and we are angry
Y
Druggies, whing ass and obese junky generation
Eat some mc Donald's and take your meth
This is how the world will remember you :P
|| intergeneration equality will not come unless it is forced ||
Some advice for you young people: STFU, stop whining, get off your asses and get your ass to work producing and saving.
Top Ramen and spaghetti, pop-corn and god forbid tap water!! If you shoot for the stars and succeed great. If you blow it, sac-up and quit blaming another generation
So true...as a college professor (aged 51) I know plenty of college-aged people today. And let me tell you, very few have the sort of hilariously absurd blame-a-group attitude of the writer of this article. Those few who do choose to blame an entire generation for everything they perceive as wrong with the world tend to be angry and miserable and would be regardless of conditions...their impressionable minds are ripe for exploitation and manipulation by low-brow writers.
+1 for use of the word "droll"
