      The material conditions and sociopolitical norms for a large demographic group of people were such that the majority of them actively and deliberately destroyed social safety nets and privatized everything they could in the hopes of making a quick buck and sticking it to the (slurs), and you're only upset that some people fucked over by that group are feeling schadenfreude about that group now experiencing what they had been dishing out. what-the-hell

          One sentence was "too long, didn't read" for you. 👍 smuglord

          And your collective condemnation of the people you look down upon for having unsanctioned feelings is the superior take. 👍 smuglord

              I would like the stroganoff treatment

              That's already old and stale. Your attempt to hitch a ride on it explains why you're so defensive about the boomer demographic in general. I doubt you're that old, but boomer is by and large a state of mind and you seem to fit that state of mind. grillman

              for personal tragedies

              Except decades of suffering that boomers as a demographic inflicted on those younger (and in the past, on those older) than themselves. That's fine and good because the smol bean boomers are special and better than those that came before them and after them and deserve all of the sympathy, including for things they inflicted on everyone, including themselves. galaxy-brain

              that occur in your life

              Fuck all the way off with your smarmy concern trolling. smuglord farquaad-point

              Just inform me when something big happens.

              You live in a bubble world of smug condescension, so chances are you won't notice anything anyway. smuglord farquaad-point

                  You're begging for sympathy for a demographic group that by and large were known for their entire lives for being abrasive condescending selfish assholes, and your way to demand sympathy is by acting abrasive and condescending.

                  perhaps you'll grow a sense of empathy

                  You're not demonstrating any for the people hurt by boomers in the long decades that they had near total economic and political control.

                  Good luck.

                  Your smug levels are already off the charts. You may break the meter.

      The article doesn't say, but I'm assuming the demographics of these newly homeless boomers is not predominantly white male. I still say boomer remover tho so i'm not exactly above generational warfare, it's just the worst boomers get hurt the least from poverty

        I think you make a valid point, unlike the federated smuglord that you replied to. This is mostly going to hurt people that least deserved it, as is often the case. Yeah, I know one or two boomer chuds that will likely get hit by that, but that's not worth it overall.
