Controversial take: Boomers are/were the worst parents in history

They were overwhelmingly selfish, abusive (physically, emotionally), and often just absent, leaving the Millennials (their kids) to live as latchkey kids. Even with their children now being adults, they show the same awful personality traits with them as they did when their children were young. So nothing is redeemable. They're still just awful.

Obligatory disclaimer: of course not all Boomers were this way. I am speaking in terms of the general majority rule.

The boomers turned out pretty terrible in general as a generation. The world would be an infinitely better place if there was a maximum voting age of like 60, which is crazy because people that old should be the most knowledgeable among us.

Not that I'd support such a law, what a terrible precedent that would set.

@BlueVeins The Boomers started giving them out when us X'ers were in jr and high school, we were like fuck no and threw them away, yet we saw how all of you Millennials and Zoomers snatched them up like gold.
