Not the only, probably not the most important reason even, but yeah, I've come to think it's partially responsible for the schizo takes many boomers have, like covid denial (like my parents, which really sucks).
In my country, Spain, we have an informal term for the boomers: "generación langosta" or "locust generation", referencing the locust plague that ate the crops in Egypt, leaving nothing for the future generations. Edit: "langosta" means both "locust" and "lobster" in Spanish, for those who are confused. Check RAE or Cambridge dictionary and you will see It :)
@@DEMiURGE455The Shinning, Jurassic Park, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, Shawshank Redemption, The Matrix, Seven. Just a few classics that came to mind instantly. You should check out boomer rock music: Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Yes, The Who. Don't miss out they truly were masters of movies and Rock music.
"Its like arguing with a TV" Insanely accurate bruh. There are so many stories of these old heads just glued onto the TV and litterally nothing else. MSNBC or FOX could tell them one thing, and they believe it till days end. Its really goofy.
The funny thing about “pull yourself up by the boot straps” is that it’s literally Impossible, boot straps are attached to the boot on your foot. It’s like saying you can fly by jumping on the air. And boomers think it’s a motivational quote
@@nicholashudson6009the original story was about a famous German baron who was famous for his outrageous lies and stories. Münchhausen. Who once said he pulled himself out of a swamp by his bootstraps. Other stuff includes riding a cannon ball in the air to spot enemy encampments and owning a living mantle.
The original quote I saw was literally about how you can't "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps", and that we all need someone else to help us. Although "bootstrapping" is really useful terminology for computer stuff, so that's nice.
Im shocked this channel is still relatively small. Definitely a grower, not a shower. Great content man, keep at it. Please never change. The content is so dumb but i love it because i learn. I wanna call this content mid-quality comedic intellectual rot (all consuming)
Hey dawg, I'm a teacher from Iran and recently stumbled upon your channel. Upon learning youre Persian, I was shocked, and simply wanted to tell you; نوروز پیشاپیش خجسته باد، چه در ایرانی، چه آنور آب. Keep up the good work! Love your videos homie.
Lead poisoning? hmmmmmmmmmm... That sounds awfully familiar. Wait a minute **Realizes the Romans used lead in their plumbing systems causing lead poisoning throughout the population causing the downfall of Rome**
They'll also criticize their kids parenting when they were the first gen to use the tv as babysitter, friend, and educator for their own kids while they go to work and make rules that you need diplomas and degrees for the job they got on high-school education and on the job training. They also say we are the reason for warning labels, when they sued the companies for no warning labels because they hurt themselves because new tech was mind boggling or through lack of supervision their kids hurt themselves. Coffee temp warnings on to go cups are from ordering HOT coffee and then immediately burning themselves, then suing where they bought hot coffee from. and they would of bitched if it was not scalding hot either
The Boomer is immunized against all reality: One may call him stupid, arrogant, selfis, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But point out how he has at most 15 years left to live and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: "I'm going to live forever".
6:25 I thought of that too! The premise in Matrix of the humans beeing batteries is stupid. But human brain CPUs! Now that is a good premise. Would fit better with the whole "escape the matrix"/"elevate your conciousness" theme, essentially people unplugged from the matrix get more Brain power to work with making them stronger in the matrix.
that was actually the original plot, but ppl at the same werent as tech savy so they changed the to battery thing as they thought ppl wouldnt understand the concept
@@misa105 It doesnt take a genius to figure that out bruh. Hollywood people put out literal SLOP expecting their target audience to be logan paul level sub80's that cant comprehend a children's show let alone a normal ass movie.
The issue with "gOrgan cHarvesting" is that the boomers are the main consumer of them and also the main people who are against their organs being used in the event of their passing. Therefore we would end up with an overobundance of them. However potentially some of the extras could be used in the nurishment of the boomerverse.
can you imagine if boomers failures from their early life were recorded virtually and followed them to every decision they tried to make going forward? I'm sure the number of DUI's would have blown the worlds mind 😂
Because they are the most narcissistic, individualistic, materialistic and entitled generation as well as the harbingers of the sexual revolution. I’m sure it’s a combination of low replacement rate and a scary amount of millennials overdosing on fentanyl due to how much they hate living in a universe where there are boomers.
Because the Silent Generation had on average four kids per family, which was the Boomer generation. Boomers on average only had two or three kids per family.
I’m no conspiracy theorist, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is why they made abortion illegal again. They need people to keep having babies to grow up to work so that their paychecks can be taxed to pay for social security benefits.
The boomers are the ones running the government and what worse is they are greedy and take legal bribes from the rich to make Shute we stay broke and enslaved
I'm almost a boomer (born 1966); but anyhow, another incredibly ballsy video. My only fear is that your goal is to actually get banned, because I've never seen (good) content so fearless.
You would probably be the coolest Gen x I would ever meet. The coolest boomer as well if you were a boomer. You are worthy to be crowned king of old people
I’ve had some nasty interactions with these grown children, (I’m a stocker at a grocery store who worked several years on night shift, I have great a dislike for people) A lot of people divert back to being children and ask “why” a lot and don’t like how I don’t know things and patently don’t care. I don’t know what’s on sale, I don’t know when more of the thing is coming in. I don’t care, if they look down on me (and especially boomers seem to). Women are the worst, cause they’ve become Karens, and the funniest thing to do is to just run away from them.
Invest in meta stocks as well. There's a high chance the quest would be on top. Especially as the boomers love facebook. (not an investing advice, I'm just a fool on the internet)
3:59 I'm always hesitant to make the TV argument. After all, we are all watching this on a phone or computer screen. The book Amusing Ourselves to Death made me realize TV & the Internet are more similar than different.
I would say how we consume is fundamentally different though. Boomers have high trust in tv talking heads so what newsman at 6, 12, and 9 said is basically law to them. They had decades of no real other sources of information and while telling us remember cartoons and other tv shows aren't real they take news shows as gospel. It's been over a half century of pavlonian training to screens. Most newer generations take the don't believe everything you read/see on a screen as truth and will look at other sources, into the story that's being presented to sus out fact from fiction. You can sway newer generations by presenting alternate evidence, a boomer just gets angry that your challenging his pavlonian response of tv=truth
No need to have hostile intentions with Boomers. We just need to hope that live prolonging technology doesn't come about before they all drop in the next few decades. (Obviously wishing oblivion broadly on an entire generation is morally wrong, but many of the issues pointed out in this video have backing to them)
Best one yet. I'd absolutely love to go perma VR once im too old to actually go do things in RL. Also, I was today years old when I found out that I'm a millennial. I'm pushing 40 so I think you can understand my confusion 😕
We had a generation of people pre-ww2 who knew what it was like to struggle during the depression & the value of hard work. We sent them to a mass grave & made the most spoiled generation in human history
Stability is the most important quality in a government. Boomers help make the government disfunctional, and thus unable to pass bad laws like the patriot act. Therefore, a government with boomers is a stable one, that doesn't pass crazy new laws, and that's good for business and ultimately, all of us.
as someone that took up being a "boomer" as a lifestyle, i understand them. The only problem is that I will not be hired so easily, can we call our generation's boomerists boomerNG's?
Mr Stick, if I make stuff with the influence of Sam'onella someday, will I be featured in an other Sam'onella Clone tier list. (If you make another Sam clone teir list?)😊
Boomers are the pinnacle of culture and evolution. History has lead to their rise. Everything and everyone that happens after boomers will struggle to live up to our impossibly high standard of human perfection.
