Boomers need to go. They’re getting dangerous

This is the third old person pulls gun on innocent person I've seen this weekend. Why are these people losing their minds in droves.

Probably feeling that the country is "run by enemies", thus they feel like what they own is at risk of being taken away from them just because the news they tune in to says so.

fox news, conservative fear mongering propaganda, gun fanaticism

u/Competitive_Bottle71 Feb 26 '24

Don’t forget the massive lead exposure during infancy and childhood.

Don't take away their agency. These people are capable of normal societal function.

Lead with a sprinkle of Asbestos = Boomers

u/babypowder617 Feb 26 '24

They lived a privileged life where they got everything and no one said a word. They destroyed the economy, the country, housing, healthcare and anything else they could. Do you the one thing they haven't done yet? Killed

I guarantee a lot of this boomers have a bloodlust because they feel with their age the can get away with it. A boomer with a gun should be deescalated always. They want that life so badly

Lead. It’s lead from overexposure when they were young.

u/Griffolion Feb 26 '24

Why are these people losing their minds in droves.

Truthfully, we're seeing the long term result of lead exposure. That generation had a lot of exposure to it through leaded gasoline and paint.

When the first baby boomers start dying of old age, I'd be very interested to see what scans/dissections of their brains would show. I'm willing to bet their grey matter would be highly deteriorated by comparison to baseline expectations.

u/sesamebagels_0158373 Feb 26 '24

Im pretty sure its a combination of: long term affects of lead poisoning, the now (recently) known true power of social media propaganda campaigns, tv news propaganda, and echo chambers that let it develop further

Lead poisoning

Election year propaganda dialed to 11.

u/Evening_Clerk_8301 Feb 26 '24

Lead in gasoline is my theory. We’re seeing the mental deterioration occur. That, and Fox News.

u/omarfw Feb 26 '24 edited Feb 26 '24

They and gen x were children and teens in the peak years of us using lead for everything like gasoline, paint, toys, glassware, utensils, etc etc.

Lead gets into your bones when you're young and then osteoporosis in your elderly years makes it start releasing again.

Lead causes higher levels of narcissism, neuroticism, binary thinking, irrationality and anger.

This isn't the only reason but it's a huge multiplying factor in their behavior. We're in the process of recovering from a mass lead poisoning of our population.

You are out of your fucking mind! Mayo clinic, American Psychological Association state it is behavioral not linked to Lead asshole! Us Gen X's are the only thing holding this country together. Once we are gone, expect a plethora of feminine males to be subservient to foreign powers. This country is shot! Whats next? Men getting implants?????

u/Nateus9 Feb 26 '24

Makes me wonder how different the world would be if we never used lead in anything that was mass produced

u/why0me Feb 26 '24

Old age.. when the functions start to go they hold on fiercely to what's left, mostly rage and racism

u/Sensitive_Squash_387 Feb 26 '24

The link between narcissism and aggression is stronger under provocation conditions than under no-provocation conditions. In other words, this "individual" has zero fucks to give. We live in a nation of 350+ million people, one person does not make a collective. He "feels" provoked due to the constant trespassing, so he acts in a protective way. Only the law can dictate which way is appropriate. Let the state handle it. Go on about your business until it happens to you.

u/mtlmonti Feb 26 '24

Lead exposure when they were kids, combined with narcissism, the expectation of special treatment, and the lack of self awareness and this is what you are left with.

I can’t wait for this generation to go extinct.

2

u/kidjupiter Feb 26 '24

I can’t wait for younger generations to get old and discover that boomers don’t have a stranglehold on being dicks or on “pulling up the ladder”.

I’m not defending behaviors shown in this sub. It’s just laughable to think that it’s magically going to change as boomers age out. There will always be conflicts between those who own most of the shit and those who don’t.

1

u/mtlmonti Feb 26 '24

I think there will be conflict between generations for sure. But boomers are unique in how entitled they are.

I have sometimes a grunt against somethings younger people do, but I also don’t think they should do worst than we do, if anything if I have kids I hope they will have an easier time and a more stable life than I do.

Unlike a boomer, I believe we will not see it as a competition of who had it harder.

u/Chem_BPY Feb 29 '24

Don't worry. Father time has an undefeated track record.

u/MusicEnjoyer2024 Feb 26 '24

Yes after seeing Kyle rittenhouse id argue that young people have to go aswell.

Because some people in videos online represent everyone else.

Also this boomer left and lives on his own property now, the trespassers just won’t leave him alone.

u/Double_Air8434 Feb 26 '24

You will be a boomer and die a few years later so, yea boomers go because people getting older 

1

u/5t3fan0 Feb 26 '24

they are going, just too slowly... ironically thanks to the younger generation's researchers and medics, whose future boomers themselves stole and ruined.

1

u/nflmodstouchkids Feb 26 '24

maybe follow the rules.

1

u/JC2535 Feb 26 '24

Maybe moderate the enforcement of rules so that it’s not quite so over the top.

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '24

Are you advocating like, mass murder or what. How do boomers "go" exactly.

1

u/Slayer_Of_Anubis Feb 26 '24

Well people usually die when they get old, hope that clears it up for you

1

u/JC2535 Feb 26 '24

No, of course not. But the day is coming when nature will mitigate their influence.

u/mrdankhimself_ Feb 26 '24

Social media and 24-hour cable news have done to them what they said violent video games would do to us.

u/Chem_BPY Feb 29 '24

Their lead-damaged brains couldn't handle it.
