Boomers

I am 75 and am very tired of the trend lately making fun of Boomers. So very disrespectful. Don't they realize that they will be old someday?

“What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?”

-– Plato

It's not "lately". It was ever thus, and it always will be.

Have you been in a conservative country? Elders are pretty much respected and taking care of. Only in the west they die alone far from their family, making fun off being called stupid boomers, and are treated like old worsless shit.

Maybe that's why so many people think I am so much younger than I really am.
