"The world they built is so nakedly self destructive, so very objectively harmful even they are starting to feel the pain, but the mild, passing discomfort in admitting fault for the first time in their entire life would literally be the worst thing that has ever happened to them, so of course going down with the ship is a far more reasonable course of action than allowing another captain to step in and possibly steer away from the iceberg."

Just one man's opinion. I'm fascinated by them, really. I deal with boomers all day ever day, I feel compassion of course but I cannot help but privately wonder how none of them ever realize they did all of this to themselves, in a thousand different ways, all day every day their entire life, it all has led to this, as inevitably as the river meeting the sea.

I'm not like, an advocate for organized religion or anything but their enthusiasm for rejecting any and all belief systems in favor of the all encompassing infatuation that entire generation manages to have with themselves is just an endless wellspring of neverending trauma for everyone else forced to live around them.
