Dear Baby Boomers and Gen X: You happy yet? You have everything, and we are being left with nothing but the crumbs. Is this really what you want? Cause if so, be prepared to lose it all.
You pulled the ladder up from under us; so we're going to pull the rug out from under you. So get ready to comply, or be prepared to lose everything.
It’s a pretty long fall from the higher rungs of that ladder.
Here’s the deal folks.
When you insist on certain rules for ye, but not for thee; then we get to make new rules since you fucked with me. And when you fuck with me, find out will ye.
Me being everyone in what you like to call Generation Me, or Millennials. And now Gen Z too, since they are now aging up into adulthood. So that’s two generations that hate you. Your children, and your grandchildren, and even the children of those grandchildren later on (Gen Alpha) will all hate you for what you have done via your greed, incompetence, and narcissism.
I for one, am fucking done with you. All of you. Even my own parents, if they don’t figure out their part in all that is wrong with the way things are right now. Yes, even they are guilty of what I blame on many of you.
But make no mistake, I am not some idiot who thinks entire generations are at fault for something that clearly is only the fault of select groups within it.
But that’s kind of the irony to it all… our generations know this… but yours does not. Yours has always generalized us all depending on what you didn’t like about X person that day, despite the rest of us not being that person. (Seriously, fuck you and go fuck yourself if you the current reader are doing that kind of shit.)
So let’s be perfectly clear here about this part. To all those who were actually useful to society and did things that actually helped us progress further into the post, or post-post-modern age we live today; thank you for your contribution. You, out of the rest at least, are actually worthy of your earnings. Your property.
The rest… the rest better learn which side they want to be on real fast, because the greediest assholes are going to be wishing they were getting fucked by pineapples leafy side first after our generations are done with them.
Some of you might remember that scene from Little Nicky. Well, it’s gonna be worse.
Not only did the greediest generations basically lock us out of home ownership, but they also lock us out of any form of real income. Heaven forbid they pay a fair wage. See, that’s just it. When you get older, and more involved in society, you also become responsible for more aspects of what happens in that society over time due to the consequences of your actions, or lack of action.
So everything you all hate about society today…
THAT’S YOUR FUCKING FAULT.
Not ours. YOURS. ALL OF IT.
Everything wrong with Canada, America, UK, you name it; if it has Baby Boomers or Gen X in it; there’s your problem. And that’s not to blame them all again, that’s just giving fair medicine where it is due, because you fuckers never learned how to not generalize despite pushing it on us all the time like the hypocrites you are.
So now you get it back in spades. Not because two wrongs make a right, but because fuck you. Literally, the only reason attached to it, is just because fuck you.
Of course, I could be better; and I generally am. But right now is all about making a point, and the point that needs to be made is that you are all going to comply with the new status quo, or you are going to wish you picked MAID back in 2022/2023 when 2024 rolls around and the revolution has begun.
Because beginning it is. Our generations are so sick and fucking tired of paying waaaay too much to have to just barely get by; all so the rest of you can profit off our misery after telling us our entire lives that we would have it just as good as you. That we could be anything. That the world was ours to live freely in, start a family, raise children. Etc. We could do all that, go to university, get the career of our dreams, etc. All of that, you told us constantly, every day in school, at home, even in our workplaces later on when we got our first jobs.
And it was all basically a fucking lie on your parts.
So let’s get a few things straight here.
1. Your free ride is over. I can’t speak for everyone else on this matter, but I will always be charging anyone older than 50 every penny I can get from them. If you ever need my services in person, I will be fleecing you for everything I can get from you, and then some. And if you complain, I’ll just charge you more when you find out you have no other options because I’m the only one willing to help you at all… for a hefty fee.
2. If I ever become homeless, I’m going after your properties first. That’s not a threat, that’s a promise.
3. If any of you is ever needing help in a bad situation in the city, on a bus, or some place I chance across you and some other person giving you a hard time or mugging you or any other sort of crime that isn’t going to kill you outright… I’m not helping you. Not unless you offer a hefty reward, and even then… I might just help them instead and just take your money anyways. You robbed us of so much already, why should I help you?
4. Your rights? Yeah, those are gone. You never really respected our rights while growing up, or even now; like the right to shelter for instance which is enshrined in our laws… laws you give zero fucks about; so why should we? See how this game is played? You cheat, we cheat. You fuck around, we help you find out.
Your rights, end where our needs begin. We need land, we need homes. You have our homes. Not your homes. Our homes. Those places we grew up in, sure, you paid for it; but many of us also did many tasks and work as well to help around the house. No not basic chores. Stuff that saved you money. Stuff that put money in your pocket. Stuff that helped make those homes better homes for all of us. You act as if that’s solely only your home now when your kids moved out.
You are very wrong.
And you will not like finding out how wrong you are, when your children kick your ass out of that home, when you least expect it.
Is it right of any of us to do that? No, not really. Yeah, it’s theft.
But so was what you all just did to us these past 2 decades with the way you fucked up the housing market, the job market, and the economy as a whole.
So… there’s gonna have to be some give and take, and it’s gonna be mostly you giving, and us taking.
Why?
Because if you want us to be there for you when you are retiring and need that tax base to pay for your pension and etc; you might want to not make enemies out of us.
Why?
We’re literally the only people you have left in the world who might still love you.
And you’re slowly killing us.
At some point, there is a proper legal argument that can be made that we are just acting in self defense, when we come to take everything that is not yours. Not any longer that is.
You have 6 months to figure it out, because I’m pretty sure starting next year, if things aren’t getting better; it’s gonna get a lot worse… and not in ways you are going to like.
And myself?
I’m just the messenger, but I too am sick of your shit as well, and if things really do go full on class war; I’m not helping you. I’m not going to help them either, but I will be taking what I want once the dust has cleared; and I’ll be doing more good with it than you ever have.
I’ll probably just take a bunch of crown land to be honest. I don’t really want your shitty homes. None of them have been built properly anyways.
But the land is getting too expensive even for my tastes. Everyone else is hellbent on having those piece of shit houses.
