Posting this here because her pronunciation of 'obligatory' made me chuckle. So there.




Interesting. Maybe there's something in that. As an older Gen-X I'm _almost_ a baby-boomer. Which I'm aware of when I find myself mentally ranting about them - "narcissism of small differences" or something-like-that.

And my parents were neither Boomers, nor "greatest generation", they fell in between the two of them (just looked it up and that's "the silent generation", though that may be a US-specific way of categorising it, and they were neither American nor entirely white European).

In any case the analysis would apply differently to different parts of the world - in Europe the post-war economic boom started later and ended sooner than in the US, and in the rest of the world it's different again.

What increasingly worries me is the awareness that as Boomers die off, there's going to be a lot of residue resentment from the young against the old, specifically pensioners, and as Gen-X move into that class there's going to be a lot fewer of us, with much less political clout. For example, the current Tory obsession with keeping pensioners happy by protecting their benefits (but nobody else's) will certainly cease once the less-numerous Gen-X take over that category.

I really want to spin that 'Boomers and Trauma' video & discussion into its own thread because there's a lot to discuss there IMO, but I don't have time to do it now.

I watched the boomer review on Reddit yesterday. Dude makes some valid observations from my view.
I agree. I'd rather not be too reductionist about the very good points he brings up, but one could also describe it this way:
Hard times create hard people <--ww2
hard people create soft times <--post ww2 awesomesauce (if you were a cis white male anyhow)
soft times create soft people <--boomers
soft people create hard times <--we are here
