hey can anyone see this? It’s me I’m in these videos. I’m in my uncle’s van right now (not in weird way) he’s drunk and he wants me to drive him to McDonald’s but I don’t drive. Now he’s asleep and he’s in the recovery position (positioning himself for recovery circa six months max) My point is: i need to escape from him. I want to go to different countries and continue making documentaries like the one you see here (I’m the guy in the video) I’ve got a buy me a coffee link in my video description. Anyone who has the money, give it to me. I need to spread my wings and fly from my uncles gooey, cavernous nest, to pursue my lifetime ambition of being an investigative journalist.
[Is there any doubt as to whether] the point of Journalism was to confuse just about every new generation of curious, well-intentioned Huns, after our UNDOCUMENTED, "pre-17th Century", "Trotskyist" chaos "put a wall between" us and them?
Boomers are the first generation in human history that wanted to do better than their children 😆 As a GenX I can safely say it's funny 'cause it's true 😂
Horrible but oh, so very accurate. I've had these conversations with my dad, who did indeed buy his first house with money he earned working on the roads for three summer holidays while he was getting a free university education. Different fuckin' world.
Post WW2 guilt caused their parents and the government to give them everything. To try and create the perfect world for them, so they are in fact THE most entitled generation to ever live - only they didnt notice cos they are completely lacking in self-awareness AND they got everything they ever wanted so they never had to complain they DIDNT get it.
@@JJEERRPPbut a good environment to bring them up in is. When just keeping yourself alive costs your wage, a kid is too expensive. In the states, giving birth is too expensive before you start! Gonna need 2 incomes at around 60k plus 30k in savings to get a 2-3 bed place anywhere decent in the uk. Expectations don't help - in your 20s, you're happy with a 1-bed flat in a rough area. By mid-30s you aren't as willing to settle for roughing it unless you grew up in poverty. Imagine you are in your 30s, stuck at home with middle-class boomer parents, but it's a nice house, you got a good education and a good area. If you can afford to move anywhere, it'll be miles away from support networks, work and be a struggle. Worst place to raise a kid. Can't raise one at home either coz you lack independance and clash with grandparents. Kids is just not on the cards for a lot of millennial women coz time will run out for us soon :( millennial men might be able to when they are 50 though, if gen z women will have them.
@@dbz9393 Yer not wrong. I waited until I had my own home in a nice area and my daughter was born 2 years ago and I'm nearly 50 and in those two years I've aged about 20;] She's mint so it's worth all the groaning joints and white hair.
Boomers are disappointed that they didn't grow up to be rockstars, authors and astronauts. We're disappointed that we can't grow up to own cars, afford a mortgage or have children.
The Irish Boomers seem so polite. In New Zealand, the Boomers loudly boast that they worked 14 hour days to be able to afford their second holiday home and 10th rental property. Meanwhile, the working generations can't even get jobs with our degrees because our jobs were all outsourced to the Philippines and India.
"thier skill at delegaticing responsibility to a subordinate, means that boomers get to aleviate the stiffness of their back pain, by redistributing the weight of the world onto a younger person's self-entitled shoulders" That was pure poetry.
This is the first time I’ve felt like Frankie might genuinely have to run away - for a generation who call everyone “snowflakes” they’re by far the easiest to offend
@@palaceofwisdom9448 working customer service in a national call center for a cell phone company fires number of years taught me that boomers are by far the most entitled and easily angered generation as a whole. it’s a mix of the effects of age and attitudes born of the environments they grew up in, inherited as adults, and forged once they had the reins of political and economic power. on the whole, they most definitely aren’t wracked by guilt over their failures as stewards of the earth and as shepherds of successive generations. the self-centered entitlement that has guided their cynical efforts to destructively extract maximum profit from the environment and from fledgling generations is still robustly alive and well. plenty of boomers are painfully aware of and sorrowful for their personal and collective participation in the havoc that continues to be wrought. many others feel the same sentiments for recognizing wrongdoing and for not doing more to stop it. but most simply don’t think that deeply about things or care to. and those people frequently have seemed to me to have developed the toxic traits emblematic of their generation through shared culture and experience. it’s a commonly held view among my previous coworkers that boomers are the most likely age group to have an outsized sense entitlement and grievance. as if they are owed something simply for having existed up until this point, and that it is a great injustice that they should ever have to manage uncomfortable emotions like frustration and disappointment. for all their rhetoric about younger people being snowflakes, they sure do act the most brittle when things don’t work exactly like they want them to.
my old man RIP bough a house in Rathmines in the early 60s to live in and sold it in 2003 for just under a million ,and the guy who bought it off him sold it in 2006 for 5 million. Boom alright.
@@weird-guy Nope. You'll find boomers in most countries, certainly the Western countries. They were the last generation who could comfortably afford things like property or land, as well as to have children and also to retire, because there wasn't this huge divide between what those things cost and what most people are ever likely to earn. They also had this weird thing called "job security." They were also the generation that voted Thatcher and Reagan into power, who were the prime catalysts in pushing property values through the roof and out of the reach of future generations.
i'm a millennial child, i never let boomers get away with their rubbish talk. I actually started to a lot better in my career by not allowing boomers live rent free in my head. Thing is my boomer parents will always tell me I could never do this, that or the other...and I'd end up doing it anyway. My older brother listened, and still rents. I bought my own house and moved away.
All the boomer dudes that are nodding along in sarcastic agreement with the joke without realizing that’s they’re actually strengthening the joke *chefs kiss*
Don’t be ridiculous. They would delegate the chasing to the younger generation, who they would grudgingly pay below minimum wage for the unappreciated exercise.
Yeah, cry me an effing river, like Afghanistan and Iraq weren't continuous things for Gen X and Millennials.. go to hell, it's your generation that started that precedent--"peace time" Wars as a norm.
@@vettemuziekjes dude just be quiet. Have some respect. Wars back then are nothing like today. With all the tech, modern warfare IS the boy scouts in comparison. Stop speaking on things that havent happened and likely wont.
I'm Gen X, my parents were silent generation, it's my siblings who are boomers . Funny as always, with a hint of accuracy 😅 I've been told I have" boomer energy " by Millennials 😂
Boomers didn't get as much like poisoning as Gen X. At least not in the US. Sure, they still had the paint and the leaded gas, but the cars didn't billow out as much lead-infused smoke as they did in the 70s and 80s, by which point their brains were fully formed. Meanwhile, we're (Gen X) all a little off…
Sadly, not all boomers bought houses in the 70s. I thought housing prices would stay the same forever . . . Now I'm in a singlewide my Dad bought me for 5k, after a major illness.
Now that each group has been established (aside from underage children and the very elderly), it would be interesting to see a video dedicated to the "cuspers," people that fall in the transition years of their generation and feel caught between the two.
Nice work! I applaud you for the bravery to tell it like it is. I'm a genx kid and boomers were the most selfish violent horrible people to be raised by ever.
Your in the wrong country boomers are American. People born in Ireland in the 40 rode around in donkey carts. People born in Ireland in the 80s and 90s are much more like American boomers
I know a boomer parent who is heartbroken property values are going down because she has become a landlord . she has 3 sons struggling to be able to buy a house . I mention that it will make it easier for them to buy a house if house values go down. she somehow disagrees??? she is going to "build a legacy to leave to them" . but if she lives till shes 90 (like her ma) her kids will be fecking retirment age when they inherit it . whhhhyyyyy
None of those people you sat beside or sidled upto looked like they were the beneficiaries of the boomer culture, a bit like the gen x’rs born into rich families could be a example of regular gen x’rs
To be a true boomer you have to be American. Britain actually experienced decades of shortages after WW2. In fact formal rationing continued for nine straight years after the war. And the nation hobbled along, dependent on loans and grants from the USA. It was the 80s before the country was doing okay for itself.
And all the time the european boomers demanded the wealth of the american boomers. So they just sold their childrens future to get it. Not knowing the american boomers only had such wealth because they robbed and looted europe blind in WW2 and this is why they had less to begin with.
My parents were Silents (born 1936). They detested Boomers as a general rule. In their world view, Boomers were spoiled brats who grew up with vaccinations in a world of plenty. Then once they grew up, they turned on their generous parents and the society that raised them. Growing up in the 1980's, I remember telling older adults (Silents and Greatests) who I knew that Boomers were adults that acted like teenagers. None of them ever scolded me for this observation! Boomers have been running the USA since 1992. Overall, they have done a terrible job. Our national debt stands at 35 trillion. Social Security will likely go bankrupt in 10 years. We have failed at another military campaign. They need to retire, and let Gen X step in and undo the messes that they largely created.
The jokes here are based on the fact that the boomers were the largest generation, number wise, in history. Therefore they accrued a lot of power and influence over politics and, since they inherited a destroyed world after 2 great wars, they were able to rise swiftly through power. All the global leaders are boomers and so are the major leaders in companies. Being so numerous, they had a giant mass to occupy all sectors in the economy, own most of property and force the government, through vote, to increase pensions and retirement benefits despite impacting a great fiscal burden upon the newer generations, something that the boomer's fathers did not have.
Personally, I'm in the .001% who consider Aberdonians the supreme Scottish race. Judge me as you please, but they're a respectably different breed of gritty.
Very funny and well scripted I really like the deadpan look of the boomers and the Gen Xers. This is good concept first refreshing channel. I’ve seen in a very long time on RU-vid speaking as a Gen X er
I am a millennial but if I was born in their time I'd be a boomer. Furthermore, if they were born in mine they'd be a millennial and we could trade grievances.
