>>511204511Boomers need to feel alpha stems from their childhood/adolescence
Their parents were already pozzed, but it was nothing compared to what boomers became
It started when boomers were young. Their parents saw how they were growing up - lazy, entitled, retarded, showing no respect to traditions and to their own parents. And their parents were rightfully shitting on them full time. They tried to correct them, by putting them down.
But boomers took their "success" in life as a justification for everything they've done. So it didn't work. Boomers still felt they were number one, and their parents were wrong.
So when they got the chance to finally BE the parent, they took it all out on their kids. Their kids were "good for nothing, lazy", whatever. In reality, that's what THEY were. Millennials were just dealt a bad hand and were completely abandoned by their own parents, but the boomer cannot understand that (because he's terminally retarded). He associates success with merit - because HE had success, of course. Doesn't matter why or how.
Boomers live inside the "just world" fallacy. They think everything will play out somehow - because it worked out for them. They can't understand someone failing by doing the right thing. The only fuckups in their experience are druggies and good for nothing types, because that's the only way you could end up owning no property in the 80s. They just don't understand the state of the world today, where no matter how hard you try you have no chance and it's all about luck and connections.
Shitting on their kids makes them validated in their fucked up mentality. Because NOT shitting on their kids would prove their own "success" wasn't really their merit, and they can't handle that - in their mind, the world rewards the good ones, and they're the good ones
