People from the “Boomer” generation act like the ‘Not all men’ crowd and the estranged parent crowd: they don’t know what they could possibly have done to make everyone so angry, it’s not their fault, they’re just a product of their time and nothing else could possibly be done, and these youngsters are stereotyping them unfairly. There are real-world consequences, their children and grandchildren face catastrophic situations bc of their choices, decades of choices, and have communicated, repeatedly, that they feel, as the title of the post suggest, HATED, by their parents. Regardless of whether these parents Believe the recipients of their stupidity ‘ have any right/reason’ to feel this way, THEY IN FACT DO. So sputtering around about their innocence does nothing but make them victim-blaming hole-diggers, digging themselves deeper into a pit where they can comfort themselves, alone, while their children suffer and think of them as the assholes who wrecked the world, selfishly, without remorse, only rationalizations that only make them feel like shit.
