Boomers? Older than you thought
I can't help but think that some of that tendency is from people who lived a more "hedonistic" lifestyle in their youth who then discovered out that it isn't really fulfilling in the long run (due to capitalism but they don't see that) so they then turn around and blame their "foolish youth" for why they feel unhappy and unfulfilled in adulthood. Then it's just a simple step to "warning" currently young people about the "dangers" of weed or whatever.
I mean, pure hedonism is an untenable lifestyle in general, not just under capitalism.
perhaps, but living simply for pleasure doesn't really allow one to achieve anything. Lots of pleasure requires hard work to achieve, but is that pleasure equal to the labor put in? so life goals may be an illusion, but pursuing goals is not.
hmm. imo the d e g e n e r a t e police are/were ressentiment filled kids who didn't get girls or do drugs, and their political orientation was just a big cope/batch of sour grapes.
Tfw the oldest meme is boomers complaining about the youngsters gaming instead of reading books
There were complaints that the book would ruin people's ability to memorise things. Probably there were monkeys that complained about early humans leaving the trees to walk the plains
goddammit new generation would rather smoke and drink than join the third crusade and fight Saladin
You could be killing each other, instead you choose to go around drinking and wearing fancy pants:angery:
why can't people just be more pointlessly violent instead of being cool
There's also a bunch of this in Aristophane's play "The Wasps" written about 2500 years ago. Old folks have been complaining about kids forever.
I never should have read about history. It's just one big exercise in jokerfication.
smh kids these days don't read enough books with spider legs why did we even bother genetically engineering those

mfw the elders tell me to kill people and I just smoke hella weed and drink from a serpent chalice all day instead :)
"Thus of auld" and its just a picture of a bunch of dark age peasants throwing rocks into rivers to try to hit the fish
Is this how you're supposed to hold a wine glass or does the artist just suck at drawing hands?
