>Why did the boomers ruin America?

(((1960s)))

Then don't go to college, retards, get a trade.

Since I wasn't a fag I enlisted out of high school and got the government to pay for my college

millenials are so fucking lazy and pussified

They were the original "I hate being white" generation

>as if any other generation would've done things differently

millenials still manage to be infinitely worse

>what's the quickest and easiest way to secure funds for the education i want (by which i mean i want to act like a schoolchild for a few more years at least)
>a big nasty loan, same as funds for anything else, really
>great, i'll take two. and this is the fault of old people, by the way.

People who volunteer for the military deserve to be shot.

yeah yeah blow me SJW cuck go get some more tendies

t. some fucking drone who doesn't know the us military is only on top by being the most evil

I'm also not an SJW.

honk honk! any of you millennials want a ride? the wife and I will drop you off at a migrant fruit camp if you are looking for a job. we have nice cushy seats in this thing so your butthurt little tushies will be safe.

>I got free things from the goberment because I'm an entitled fuck

Joining the military isn't an accomplishment. That's why so many vets are unemployed and homeless. Doing 30 push-ups and shooting poor brown people aren't marketable skills.

>old people pass bill to use gov as loaners
>unis (run by old people) realize the money will literally always be there
>jack up tuition
>this is students' fault

>an SJW

ICE hired me for those EXACT reasons

>The only way out people harping on about is trade school

Maybe people wanted to be something besides an electrician, plumber or carpenter?

If you argue with your enemies, they win.

Most kids get the message, "Don't be a faggot, go to college."

You speak like one.

and yet, some people do succeed and others don't. I wonder why that is? It can't possibly be that some people try harder and give more of themselves to whatever they are doing. No, no, that can't be it. Successful people must be trampling on someone else, right?

Because they place themselves and their own needs above everyone else. Self centered faggots to the core.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_generation

The phrase caught on with the general public, at a time when "self-realization" and "self-fulfillment" were becoming cultural aspirations to which young people supposedly ascribed higher importance than social responsibility.

I hate both millennials and boomers.

...

That's how English works

Baby boomers elected the people that turned education system into for profit business in US, repeatedly.

They were brainwashed.

Do HVAC. Money printing trade.

Not all of them.

If you say the letters S, J, W, the letter S is pronounced "ess" so gets preceded by "an."

If you say "social justice warrior", it gets preceded by "a."

t. someone who got higher than you on the English section of the ACT

people are willing to boycott shit for far dumber reasons than "it's too fucking expensive". If it costs too damn much, don't buy it, convince others not to buy it, and watch the magic power of supply and demand regulate the price.

I bet you blame apple for the exorbitant prices of their hardware, too. This whole "i don't have a choice" mentality is bullshit.

>what is luck
There are plenty of people working their ass off making next to nothing and will. E forever stuck in poverty. There are plenty of people who don't do shit yet are forever set because they got a lucky situation. If you think hard work is all you need to be successful, you're a dillusional shit head.

>Successful people must be trampling on someone else, right?

More often than not yes.

pronounce the letter S and then write it as an onomatopoeia. If you manage to start said onomatopoeia with a consonant, you win. Otherwise you're the idiot.

You think someone can't think both that SJW's are retarded and that people who sign on the dotted line to invade other countries are retarded?

They're both special levels of stupid.

Quite possible, but I would bet that the fact that they are generation that didn't have any social responsibility is bigger factor in it.

...

>and yet, some people do succeed and others don't. I wonder why that is?

Luck. It's a myth that the world is a meritocracy.

Luck, chance, circumstance.

Through effort you can put yourself in a better position to grab an opportunity when it comes your way, but if you think you can get anywhere you want merely by effort, you will be sorely disappointed.

No one wants to be any of those things. But if you want to get paid and provide for your family you suck it up. Not everyone can be an astronaut

Boycotts don't work.

If boycotts worked then vegetarians and vegans would have brought down the meat industry by now.

You not doing something does not stop tons of others from doing it.

You faggots give up too easily. My dad is 59 years old with decades of corporate business experience and had to apply for the current corporate job he has SEVEN different times to get accepted. Grow a pair and stop whining.

>he fell for the college Jew
kek, you dun goofed... kid...

that's what we successful people call stinking thinking. you have a bad attitude son. you are fortunate enough to be born into a country with the highest standard of living ever known, and you whine and bitch. the average person on earth is a dirt poor brown person living in asia, and yet they still manage to carry on. you should be ashamed of yourself for resenting others.

>decades of corporate business experience

Oh so he's a douchebag.

I think instead of "grow a pair" you meant "get on your knees and suck a CEO's dick."

wow, your father was really good at begging for a paycheck, well done!

sad.

>wahhhh poor me! because of my virtue I'm a sadsack piece of shit. oh woe is me!

They were the perfect useful idiots

You should be ashamed of yourself from being one step away from godless atheist feminist Jew Ayn Rand.

And have you ever considered that that high standard of living in your country is because of poor people in Asia making all your shit so they can afford to buy dog meat in markets?

...

>he thinks sucking successful people's dick is the path to success
>he thinks successful people give a shit about his sycophancy

You're like those dirt poor rednecks who voted a billionaire into office thinking he'd have their best interests at heart, and then filled his cabinet with other billionaires.

People who worship the rich are braindead.

we had a high standard of living long before we started buying substandard shit from asia. and at least now those once starving people in asia can afford dog meat. you have never been hungry so you probably won't understand that.

If being a douchebag is having a six figure paycheck and a hot wife then I also want to be a douchebag

At least he doesn't fix toilets like a dumb polak

>going to college right after high school without a scholarship or a way to pay for it
>getting a degree in a field even with you knowing you won't be hired after graduating
why?

Apple computers aren't any way comparable to education.

Apple computers are luxury good or scam, depending on how you look at it. Overpriced shit idiots and people with too much money buy. Shitty hardware with shitty OS.

Education in grander scheme of things is public good, that was turned into easy profit making opportunity to some firms operating in education and financial sector. Price of higher education has skyrocketed since 70's.

>watch the magic power of supply and demand regulate the price.

Kek. Education is necessity if you want to find employment that isn't mopping floors or flipping burgers. If people started to boycott education, it probably wouldn't have any effect on price.

Do they seriously not realise that globalism is literally the cause of this?

The policies that YOUNG PEOPLE support?

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE THIS STUPID

people who sit around and whine instead of doing whatever they can to improve their situation are worse than brain dead. you whiny fucks just want to rationalize your entitlement mentality. you lust after what others have and denigrate those with the ability to achieve what you are too lazy to achieve.

ok, what's is supposed to be wrong with the beatles?

>sell manufacturing away so they can have cheaper goods
>increase immigration for "humanitarian" reasons (really just to lower wages in low skilled jobs)
>force young people to jump through hoops just to get a job or apprenticeship where they will be payed little to no money
>buy up investment properties, ruin the housing market, then charge young people huge rents because they cannot buy a home due to the lower wages, debt, and shit market
>complain that other people are lazy and bad
Fuck boomers.

>implying america's high standard of living hasn't been built on a war economy

And I have been hungry before. Not hungry enough to eat dog meat.

But you're the kind of person who thinks kids in Asia pulling apart electronics with their bare bloody hands is thanks to just more benevolent job creators.

Worth a read. Might pick that up. Post any more if you got em.

Who are the people that drilled it into their heads?

YouTube search Beatles Tavistock. Well documented.

They were handed everything they could ever want, and they liquidated it all and sold it off to globalists in exchange for an excessive retirement.
They ruined marriage, the family, the church, nationalism, sexual morality, and the economy and spread their poison to all the generations that followed them.
If it makes you feel any better, the old are usually the first to be killed in a SHTF scenario.

>complain about the way boomers did things while lamenting they can't do the same things
>total fucking parasitic retards

Do people not realize these jobs are welfare?

Oh so you don't use toilets?

You and your entire bloodline deserve to be gassed.

The problem with education is how accessible it is. College used to be reserved for people who had the smarts to get in and then they would in turn go on to do smart things (see: doctor) while normal people would end their education at highschool and work at a business or something. But then the government thought it would be a great idea if everyone got college education (a noble but ignorant goal). Then all you have is more students with more debt, higher tuition because of subsidies, and no sheepskin effect because college is now the thing everyone does.

I don't want to do those things. I would like to end globalism and capitalism.

Oh I use toilets. If they break I hire a plumber and pay him for his work.

>You and your entire bloodline deserve to be gassed.
You seem like you have a touch of the 'tism, you bitter jealous person

>UR JUST JELLY

Yeah, anyone who criticizes the vampire squid Goldman Sachs or Jewish bankers are "just jealous"...

Keep telling yourself that, kike.

If poor people and rich people being subject to the same laws is "entitlement", so be it.

>DA JOOOOOOOOOOOOS
Firstly, it isn't that simple.
Secondly, that's not the point.

The point is that millennials say "WAH FUCK YOU BOOMERS, WHY CAN'T I EARN AS MUCH AS YOU"

At the same time they say "YES MIGRANTS, PLEASE COME TO MY COUNTRY, PROVIDE COMPETITION FOR WORK, AND FORCE DOWN WAGES"

The animation from Yellow Submarine was basically ripped off from some Soviet animation short.

>free public education
>fails to learn to think for himself
>blames others because he is an idiot

When I graduated from high school if you did not have a scholarship or could not afford it you did not go. This loan business was yet another socialist program clamored for by the idiots who are now complaining they have to pay back the loans. Don't want crippling lifetime debt? Don't borrow money. I know a shit load of young people who took out school loans and used the money to party or got stupid degrees in things that couldn't possibly provide a career.

damn you sound like an assblasted faggot my man

Why's the average salary 40k then

>end capitalism
>end the system that brings the most wealth to the most people by the natural process of competition and the mutual gains that arise from said competition
Great idea

They didnt. you're just a huge faggot trying to blame others for your problems.

boo hoo you can't find your dream job? sure is a travesty that no one wants to pay you 50 grand a year to play videogames.

go get a degree for an in demand job, be willing to move and then start crying if you can't find a job to afford all the things you want.

>He says he wants to be a douchebag
>He thinks I'm just jealous

That is nigger logic, my friend. I'm surprised you didn't call me a "hater."

Oh, so criticizing a rich person like George Soros means I'm just "jealous" you bluepilled retard?

Whatever you say, pal. Whatever you say.

And notice the massive fucking irony in the OP image

>Drives up federal deficit for 30 years
>Hands the bill to his kids

What's the solution? I know! Free college! Just add it to the federal deficit!

Fuck's sake...

Damn you sound like you're a nigger who escaped from Instagram my nigga.

You suck the cock of Goldman Sachs and you think you have any integrity or self-respect?

It's true that in the job market boomers had to jump through fewer hoops than we do and they put up barriers to entry they did not have to face
>nowadays my company only hires college grads
>my manager is a boomer without a degree
>his manager is a boomer without a degree
>know several other managers are boomers without degrees
>they have all been working for this company for decades, proving you don't really need a degree to do what we do
>they were hired without degrees and then decided they would only hire new people if they had degrees

>my mom, who is a boomer without a degree, worked her way up from receptionist to finance manager for a big construction company
>when she was getting ready to retire she helped interview candidates to be her replacement
>the store's owner (also a boomer) told her to only consider candidates with at least a masters degree
>even my boomer mom realized this was horseshit since she did the job just fine with her high school education

You are a first class idiot. Globalism is about socialism, not capitalism. You are getting exactly what you want, how does it feel? If you bothered to look, retard, you would discover that these multi-national globalist corporations are majority owned by government institutions. That is the state of affairs brought about by idiots like you who are all "ebil capitalism!"

>We enjoyed a certain standard of living as the result of a code of behavior, morals and beliefs; however, we discarded that code of behavior, morals and beliefs as too restrictive. Why you so mad?

Do you seriously not recognize that you owe it all to timing and luck? There are literally millions of Chinese peasants who would easily run laps around you in whatever you are good at yet they are making pennies a day. Fuck you. i don't resent your success, I resent your lack of appreciation and understanding of your position.

No, tell me more about how you want to suck the dicks of rich people, and how you think that will trickle down and make you more successful.

You're either a useful idiot or a fucking toadie.

Do you work in sales by chance? Marketing?

Numbers
Same reason millenials hold zero electoral clout

>people who don't eat meat boycotted meat and nothing happened so boycotts don't work

this has to be one of the dumbest posts i've read all day

Boomers had it way different, they ruined the society for their own children and their grandchildren.

When boomers paid for their college, they paid a fraction of what college costs now.

When they bought their first house or apartment, prices were way lower than now.

Immigration has turned low skilled market into shit. It is nearly impossible to shit job for while and save for college for example, everything you earn will go to living paycheck to paycheck or more likely that doesn't cover even frugal living and has to be supplemented with welfare.

>Says the tool he uses to blast his ass with

Suck yo daddys dick idk how long nepotism in the work place is gonna last faghole

That's the attitude that keeps people miserable. Anybody can succeed if they want to. Finish high school, don't have kids before your married, and get a job. Work hard, and opportunities will present themselvesk throughout your life.

>we successful people call stinking thinking

>successful
>uses terms from AA

Pick one, whiny little rich kid who can't even handle their booze.

Why should I have to move? All I want is a stable family and community. Where has the possibility of satisfying these fundamental needs gone? Fuck your idea of progress. It's backwards to me.

a master's degree now is equivalent to a high school diploma fifty years ago. and the key to your mom's success is she "worked her way up". I'm betting she didn't take a bunch of sick days, she showed up on time and ready to work, and did what was required of her, even when it was hard and she felt unappreciated. If you fucks think anyone has ever had it easy from start to finish you are just deluded.

"As the experience of our post-political liberal-permissive society amply demonstrates, human Rights are ultimately, at their core, simply Rights to violate the Ten Commandments. 'The right to privacy' — the right to adultery, in secret, where no one sees me or has the right to probe my life. 'The right to pursue happiness and to possess private property' -- the right to steal (to exploit others). 'Freedom of the press and of the expression of opinion' -- the right to lie. 'The right of free citizens to possess weapons' -- the right to kill. And, ultimately, 'freedom of religious belief' — the right to worship false gods."

And now if you don't go to college then your unemployable, even for jobs that one generation ago were considered entry level for those possessing a high school diploma.

Lol. No. My best man is lazy as shit and makes 80k at the local university to drive around in a truck all day and change filters.

Every boomer I've ever met had it easy from start to finish
Every chink I've ever met had the opposite.
You're a moron.

>and watch the magic power of supply and demand regulate the price

Except education is a positional, i.e., zero sum game, so that doesn't work. You just get massive inflation of education through competition, which is exactly what we've seen.

By zero-sum, I mean education exists primarily to make you more employable than others. Thus it is the relative value of the educated person's school that matters. There can only be so many 'top schools' or 'advanced degrees'.

Which is exactly what we saw after the boomers - a BA became the new high school diploma, a BS the new BA, etc.
