My parents are boomers. They both worked really hard to raise a family of 4 kids. Never received any easy money/assets, etc. They never fell for anything, they were both incredibly principled and raised great kids. I'm so sick of this anti-boomer hate. Stereotyping and blaming a whole cohort of people is how dictators kill millions in the name of the greater good.

"Stereotype" is a recognized pattern which one is unwilling to admit or grapple with.

Stereotypes collapse when you speak to an individual from that 'group'. It's a great way to make jokes about people, it's a terrible way to place judgement.

Can* collapse

Statistically speaking, they are confirmed majority of the time.

The main difference here is one of us refuses to accept reality, basing their worldview on how they want the world to be.

The other accepts reality and forms their worldview in response to it.

Just because some boomers are alright it doesn't mean the generation sucked. Stereotyping is a survival mechanism and it works very well.

Stereotyping is the Central Planning mentality of dealing with people. I seriously doubt you subscribe the very stereotype about your country / culture.

I don't have to. Stereotyping is not right 100% of the time. Stereotyping is noticing a behavioral pattern.
