u/Q-Ball7 In the end, it's taxes all the way down Jun 13 '26

and the fudds are like “tHeY’ll nEver Ban mY hUntinG rIfLe”

The problem with old people, and Boomers specifically, is that they really don't understand the concept of dignity.

They're bitter that nobody survives life, so they want their last days to be filled with nothing that makes them feel a way they don't want to. They get buttmad about anything that represents risk, regardless of whether it poses one or not; best example of that is in 2020-2022.

Life in general serves no purpose to them, so they feel no moral hazard when it comes to banning life, and because they're beyond their productive years nobody can hold them to account for it.

This is the LPC "destructive-conservative" mindset.

Dignity is inherent. Respect is earned.

What have you done to earn my respect?

Because what you claim to have sacrificed wasn't your future; it was mine. It was easy to give up the ability to develop land because you didn't want to pay taxes. It was easy to give up the guns. It was easy to import millions of people rather than encourage the domestic population to propagate itself.

It was easy to shout "elbows up" and send the youth into economic war rather than permit the reformers to take power. That was clearly a sacrifice that you paid for.

I'll start protecting the respect of the old when the old start protecting the dignity of the young.

Boomers got theirs. Then they helped us all be homeless on a scorching space rock covered in tyrannical assholes. See, he's helping!

None of this is caused by their selfishness, nope! It's because your 60 hour week isn't nearly as hard as their 30h week from 40 years ago that earned them a home and disposable income.

You're just a wimp that doesnt own a home and can't afford to have kids because you put avocados on your toast sometimes.
