Why do boomers act like they lived through the Great Depression when they lived through the greatest era of human prosperity ever?

fucking boomers man. fucking boomers

>lived through the greatest era of human prosperity ever?
Bullshit. Life may be worse now for new generations, but life back then wasn't as amazing as people make it out to be. There were still house shortages, poor people, etc.

I would rather deal with nuclear annihilation than fat feminists

And people weren't even aware of it until after the fact. Fucking phonies. I think the only part was like domestic shit like satanist and shit. Then besides that it was status quo and the governments working around those systems. The threats didn't even exist until they were declassified. No time is worse to live in than post 1990

Wasn't that imminent then, eh?

The cold War was a boomer fantasy. More has happened with Russia in the last 5 years than the entirety of their cold war.

>my generation was made to believe existence of magic sci fi weapons that can destroy cities! And poison land for thousand years! And destroy all electronics! And cause eternal winter! That we never saw and that were never used or tested of anything, but we were scared of them

boomers are gullible retards whose brains got fried by talmundvision, more at 11

Boomers didn't ((( live through ))) it. Their blood sweat and tears built it.

Millennials and zoomers suffering from the the same corporate greed the boomers did, and 2/3 of the boomers retire with poverty-level income.

You're fucking idiot if you let yourself get tricked into blaming them for what corporations obviously did.

Boomers had to wait in gas lines back in 1979 because they were buying it faster than it could be produced.
They will unironically argue that was a terrible challenge for them.
They will unironically argue that was a big challenge for them.
Meanwhile Gen Z fags can't even afford a car.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proxy_wars#Cold_War_proxy_wars

The two superpowers and their sphere use up substantial resources to manipulate and assist around 60 proxy wars and endless additional conflicts, constant arms race in all military branches, constant cultural warfare, constant indoctrination, constant glow operations and espionage, constant infrastructure upgrades to protect against nuclear strikes and other attacks...
nothingburger...

It's sad how retarded people have to be to think that nothing happened during the cold war.

If you were poor in America as a boomer you were a lazy retard period. In Europe maybe things were different but in America there was no excuse. My grandpa supported a family of four kids and retired at 55 working AS A JANITOR. Boomers lived life on baby mode and if you were willing to work and didn't blow all your money you could work just about any job and prosper.

The US was the only manufacturing developed country left after WWII so Boomers had space to grow and expand but they didn't read Plato The Republic or Libido Domini so they are now freaking out about their y2k and Vietnam war repressed trauma. they thought if they just bloviated all over social media, micromanage, verbally entrain, and helicopter the younger generations, that things would just automatically keep getting better. you actually have to do complexity science and improve processing/manufacturing methods for things to keep getting better/more sophisticated.

Because it’s the way they were raised

My dad still talks aboth 13% interest rstes in his first house, he neglects to mention it was 80k and he made 75k a year at the time

Boomers do the same shit constantly. They'll bulk buy all the bread and milk and all perishables before any minor inconvenience and let it rot to ensure they got theirs. Just think back to COVID and the tp shortage and how boomers were hoarding everything and causing artificial shortages for two years and then sitting outside in parking lots trying to resale the stuff at 20x markup. It's just boomer nature.

I guess millenials, zoomers and alphas have to take that away from you as well as we are closer to a nuclear war now than then

>>511166002
minimum wage in the 1970s was the equivalent of $40/hr nowadays. it wasn’t better? retard

>>511166002
North America from about 1948 to 1968 was just about as close to utopia as you could get

Wages were high, inflation was low, society was cohesive etc

I think where people get confused is they forget that the 1948 -1968 period was just 20 years with the nightmare 30’s and 40’s before it and the shitty 70’s behind it,


1984 to 2001 was also a very nice time, not as great as the mid century but a good prosperous era even if it had high crime and a fraying social fabric.

People have very bad recency bias where they see how things are and their monkey brain jsut assumes they will stay this way forever despite the world going through eras of good times and bad times every 20-25 years regularly

I know everything is tinted yellow while in mexico but that is an ireland flag retard

Things took a massive shit when corpos and jews took over everything and only cared about profit.
Companies used to take care of employees, not selling them out to the jews newest slaves jeets.
Fucked everyone on loans for everything. Tricked people into owning nothing and leasing /renting.
You don't even own the music and games you paid for.

that is how it is in florida every single year, its a season, hurricanes come people hoard and shelves empty, people lose their fucking minds without electricity in less than 24 hrs

theres a saying revolution is three meals away..it applies to electricity as well... revolt is 24 hrs away always, always looming, waiting

The mid 70s to the mid 80s were dogshit.

My dad was born in 1946, once he said during dinner where we were complaining; "stop complaining, you didn't live through the war" And then we said, neither do you. And we all laughed.
But yeah, boomers have a victim fetish, thats why a lot of them are zionists, because "the jews have suffered so much".

Boomers will die never admitting they oversaw the subversion of the west.

>>511171166
Checked, kek'd, and wrecked. Boomers were quivering under their schoolhouse desks just because the Talmudvision told them some drunken Russians were allegedly putting nukes Cuba, five minutes closer to impact lol. Like nigga, if the world gets nuked, five minutes ain't finna save your ass

I dont know. Looking back at all you dustbunnies had life dialed on extremely easy mode until you all decided to vote in incompetent (((people))) into power and are now crying over the fact life is now hard set to veteran difficulty due to your generations decision making.
