Your question brings to mind the letter I wrote to describe my generation, which I am ashamed of.

The Baby Boomers were the Woodstock generation and the worst generation this country produced until they formed breeding pairs. They achieved self-actualization through moral exhibitionism and militant self-absorption, while ignoring the nobility their parents achieved by enduring the Depression and WW II.

Their parents misapplied worthwhile insights of Dr. Spock. His asymmetrical definition of common sense did not balance love and affection with standards for behavior, self-control, and respect. For many parents then, his definition of common sense meant providing every advantage they had missed.

In the process of catering to children’s feelings and preferences, the Greatest Generation raised defiant, narcissistic offspring who viewed gratification as a right. Rather than examples to emulate, Boomer parents were merely vending machines required to fulfill material desires during times of unimagined plenty.

These Boomers have an unprecedented focus on self. With them the divorce rate first exceeded the marriage rate. When in powerful positions they seek policies of moral diversity/perversity, and material comfort to transform the country from the Arsenal of Democracy into just another Gulag of apostasy, greed, and dependency.

Worst of all Boomers begat through multi-generational psychological incest a legacy of ideologically mutant children and grandchildren. The Boomer offspring have become the Snowflakes, Transgenders, and whatever of present times. These descendants are contra-educated to abhor the Constitution, the virtuous and valorous founding of our country, and classical liberal principles found in values of the Enlightenment. They are perpetual children without essential humanity; empty, ignorant, feckless, emotional, overactive, under challenged, and now can’t even figure out what sex they are.

So the young Boomers sound like young people today: Millennials and Zeds.

Some people in the older generations — Silents, Greatest — showed up at the Boomer party and indulged in Boomer antics when they were in middle age, hence all the divorces that gave Xers a rough start in life.

Most kids and under 30s now didn’t have Boomer parents.
