    WTF are you talking about?

    Boomers were born between 1945 and 1965.

    They had the eight hour day handed to them.

    Please stop using ‘boomer’ for anything that happened before 1970.

      It’s not being used on just everything predating 1970, it’s “anything I don’t like is boomers”.

      Be a millennial and think that social media is toxic and addictive (because of all the studies showing that it’s toxic and addictive) and should it have restrictions to limit its influence, especially to children?

      “ok boomer!”

      The pre-boomer generations didn’t just complain, they physically fought for and defended their rights, and the elite feared them for it.

      Then the elite changed tactics - either out of fear or strategy, they gave the boomers everything they wanted, and raised a generation of people who didn’t have to fight, but felt entitled to what their forefathers had fought for anyway.

      In turn, the boomers gave rise to generations of people who thought fighting was unnecessary and harmful. Now the elite are back to tearing down rights again, and not only do we not fight, but we can’t even agree that it’s necessary.
