This article shows an intrinsic self-contradiction. The very liberalism these kids craved under the "borderless" EU made them apathetic and politically ineffectual. The geezers who went out and voted retained a civic responsibility thanks to conservative values.
Which leads me to wonder -- who is going to run the country -- any country -- after the Baby Boomers/Generation Xers are gone?
Sorry — “turn OUT in droves.” (I’m a little tired.)
Much hatred I sense in this author.
Not to mention dullness of intellects.
The little “snowflakes”, that’s who....
As a member of The Silent Generation I get a kick out of seeing The Boomers get hammered.
Boomers were always “full of themselves” as my Irish MIL used to say.
Pretty funny !
.
If they protested against FTAs and government debt on that basis, they’d have a damn good point - their elders racked up one hell of a bill and guess who is expected to pay it down?
But they’re protesting for international Fascism instead... dumbasses.
Absolute morons, who are damned Socialists and Marxists, through and through; sadly.
“younger generations whose vision is more kaleidoscopi”
That may be a sign of brain damage.
Hateful,self-centred little turds.
Whole hoard of slacker youth that just wanted to cruise along killing time and playing games just found out the cookie jar is running empty. The fifty-plus crowd have been the go-to guys to show up and get things done, as their descendents couldn’t be bothered.
They were caught flat-out ditching on important stuff, they could have gone to the polls—and now they want a do-over. They now want to cancel someones vote because they were too lazy to get off the couch.
The biggest black mark on the ‘Boomers is the snowflake generation that they somehow produced.
AWESOME! Now I’m a zombie. Hey kids. If you think I stole something from you, stop on by and reclaim whatever you think it is. Or try anyway.
“This article shows an intrinsic self-contradiction. The very liberalism these kids craved under the “borderless” EU made them apathetic and politically ineffectual. The geezers who went out and voted retained a civic responsibility thanks to conservative values.”
Excellent point.
If the Boomers are wising up to the stupidity of economic strip mining and lowest common denominator labor wages for the global workforce, more power to them.
As a Gen-Xer working at a major corporation, I am weeping everytime a boomer walks out the door. Why? Because I now have to do their job, my job, and take care of the know-it-all never-done-anything group of 20 somethings that think they should be VP’s after 3 years of experience. Yes, it is that painful.
My wife and I are BOOMERS. If you have a job,and are under 40, THANKS FOR WORKING!
I’m a zombie? Cool!
