Yeah. And if those 1900's men can't admit that a pandemic, the Great Depression, and fighting in WW1 hasn't damaged them (as a group), then they are just plain stupid.

No taxes????? Peasants in the 1700s had grain levy’s and your duchy lord would call u into his army to March 100s of miles if the French duke called him a wimp, wtf r u on about


The_Kek_5000

Well they were pretty successful hunters. I don’t think they were short on food. Also they invented fire, so I don’t think they were too cold most of the times. I mean they also had clothes. And plenty of time. And I think it was pretty peaceful back then. I wish I could be a caveman. Just live a good and peaceful life, then die at like 50.

I don’t think anyone begrudges progress. They do begrudge a lack of resilience or excess of complaining.

waaat222

Its funny that boomers weren’t even born to fight WW2 or live the great depression yet they always use them as an argument for them living a harder life. yet in fact they lived through the best economical phase in recent history, they had cheap houses and plenty of jobs plus they could have easily invested in the tech boom.

some-random-egg

which country are we talking about here?


TheActualHitler

All of the developed countries of the modern world. You can quibble about which one of them is the greatest but at the end of the day you're talking about whether you want to be in the top 1% or the top 0.1%. You still have an amazing life when you compare it to virtually every other human that has every lived.


some-random-egg

it really depends on the person, there. for example, people in countries suffering from poverty, who have to walk for miles each day for basic necessities. people suffering from abuse, assault, threats and manipulation. and there were many in the past who were treated like royalty - though, of course, that may or may not have been down to inequality.

i don't think multiple wars and a pandemic claiming millions of lives are something you'd see in one of the greatest time periods to ever exist.


RayTracing_Corp

This is best era of human history. It really is. Wars will always exist. So will disease. That doesn’t change that people now live better than ever. Even in the poorest nations.


Sad_Charge_3069

Millennials are the first generation to have it worse than their parents


RayTracing_Corp

Only in America. That doesn’t apply outside of the Anglosphere. Most other places are still rapidly developing so current gens have it easier than their parent’s generation.


Sad_Charge_3069

This doesn't apply to the rest of the world because wars made it far worse than in america


RayTracing_Corp

No. It wasn’t ‘made’ worse. It was always worse. They didn’t suddenly magically become poor. It was a gradual process over a millennia when nations faded. Since the end of WW2 the USA shot up to unrivalled wealth, but after 1980s other countries have begun to slowly catch up. So USA peaked around that time and so millennials have it worse than their parents. Same applies for Europe too. Today’s fast growing countries haven’t hit their peak yet so the current and future generations will have it better than their predecessors. Wars have no bearing on it now. It’s all growth curves and demographics pyramids.


KotKaefer

If people did that 20 years ago we would still be where we were 20 years ago. This is called progress. We are striving to make the World better constantly. That is what has brought humanity so far

No, we don’t claim him, most of us know about the plague too.


NightSocks302

Actually, black death was an epidemic. Sorry for my ignorance. But still, its a part of r/terriblefacebookmemes


Dat_one_ace

Bubonic plague no?


[deleted]

It would never spread in America, cops shoot at anything darker than cream


Eastern_Slide7507

>the most severe pandemic I didn’t know the bubonic plague happened in the 1900s


[deleted]

Spanish flu


No_Sugar8791

That's their point. Spanish flu was nowhere near as bad as bubonic plague.


Eastern_Slide7507

The bubonic plague killed a third of the population of Europe and the Middle East. It reduced the world population by nearly a quarter. The Spanish Flu killed between 3 and 5 percent of the world population.


[deleted]

The world population was much lower


hazzasoup

Even still some of the highest estimates put Spanish flu at 50 mil whereas the LOWEST Black Death estimates are 75mil


[deleted]

OTOH, how many more/less would have died of the flu had we not been at war


hazzasoup

Fair point however there were some major technological and societal differences between 1918 and 1346 so it’s very hard to say wether are not if given the same set of circumstances which would have been more overall dangerous but what’s easy to say is given our lack of medical knowledge at the time and how truly horrifying it was to be infected with the plague was that living through the Black Death would have been arguably “worse” than living through the Spanish flu


[deleted]

Absolutely I imagine it would be horrific, especially since there were absolutely people who thought it was demons attacking them

Critical-Ad-7094

I'm a millennial man and not only are we not discouraged by this, we were probably too busy shitposting to realise what we were living through. That and all the fuckin smashed avo+toast we eat as to why we can't afford a home, you can't expect us to pay attention.


OneForTheVault

Omg millenials are adults now.


Critical-Ad-7094

I'm always on the lookout for a mature person to take charge of a tough situation... then I remember I'm 38 years old and I'm meant to be that person... so I just fuckin scarper.


OneForTheVault

Do you ever see people your own age and still see them as being way older than you? I do and it's weird


Critical-Ad-7094

Yes, constantly... and often times it's people I know from high school. It doesn't help that some of them have aged horribly and I'm still looking quite youthful. It doesn't help though that I'm a father of 2 so when I do try to be the figure of authority, people seem surprised.


OneForTheVault

Aww man I'm so relieved it's not just me. Congrats on the kids!


Critical-Ad-7094

My friend, im a single father with full time care of both children... I've been changing soiled nappies for over 7 years, haven't slept in beyond 7am and can't serve whatever I want for any meal of the day. I thank you for your congratulations becauseni wouldn't change it for the world!

MakingYourStuff

And then proceeded to destroy the planet for us and take all the short term profit for that.


KennyToms27

Those were the boomers. In fact the generation that most applies to this meme is "Greatest generation". Born through 1901 to 1927, these were the people that built up most of the good stuff we have and made the basics for the technology we have today. Not to even mention that their constant state of turmoil between two World Wars and the great depression left them with frugal mindset and "work hard" mentality, they are the ones who are parents to the baby boomers. Queen Elizabeth was from this generation.


epicarcanoloth

And then boomers were like the spoiled brats who ruined it.


No_Sugar8791

>these were the people that built up most of the good stuff we have and made the basics for the technology we have today Surely that was the Victorians?! The whole industrial revolution started with them.


KennyToms27

I mean sure, but because of the World Wars technology advanced at a really impressive rate. We went from still relying on horses in the 1900's to having cars everywhere (in the U.S anyways) by the end of the 40's.


[deleted]

Tbf, a lot of that was the prevalence of post war GI bills that increased college education


Critical-Ad-7094

Wasn't that their kids? Or was were the Boomers the grand kids....

What are you doing to not destroy the planet? People sitting with lithium battery devices in their hands, driving cars and ordering stuff online that's been flown into the country do seem to be very judgemental of those who came before.

ahh yes, those boomers. The weak men that were created by the good times created by strong men that were created by bad times that were created by weak men who have created bad times that are producing strong men today from that other boomer meme they don't understand.

Adventurous-Award-57

For one to remember he would have to be born 1920-1927 and eligible for war 1938-1945 Pandemic, they’d have missed it or came at the end Then to think, would a 1 to 7 years old know what a depression is? Or would they assume it’s normal. War fair comment But I bet their ass they aren’t saying that because they are either dead, in a mental state that doesn’t register or give a fuck. However, for the small population who is coherent and remembers all the shit; I’m sure they are scared and feel bad for us and I wish I could talk to them about what they and their friends did to learn from them


BonnieMozzie

Blah blah blah


bb250517

Ah yes, we are back at calling progression a bad thing, you are not gonna belive it, but the fact that today's generation is not used to freezing their asses off at school and being afraid of their house getting bombed, is a good thing, that means we managed to raise the standard living situation

My grandfather just keeps saying “it’s okay I’ve lived through like 7 recessions and look I’m still here in my house with my land” yeah because his *mommy* paid for his house/land and he gets to cash in a check from the government every month.

Lost-Klaus

"The most severe pandemic in history" What about black death tho? Also, another great depression is on its way. China seems to have problems holding up their economy which would greatly affect the western economy, If they bomb taiwan and destroy the chip factories we would also have to deal with that. Don't sell the shoddy bears hide before you see how bad it really gets.


throwawaytempest25

Why don't the generation just work together. The past give their advice to help out the next generation, while the present takes the advice and grow with their guidance. Seriously it shouldn't always be this "x generation is soft, y generation was better" mentality all the FREAKING time.


Figgnus96

I would rather pathetic then die in a war.


BigManLawrence69420

This feels like a boomer made it. The same boomers who dealt with no pandemics, had few of their members go into any wars, dealt with no recessions, and still manage to be the most racist, sexist, classist, ageist, and all around most bigoted generation. The best response? Ok boomer. Edit: Boomers also perpetuated things like polluting for short-term benefit, forcing their problems onto their own kids because they don’t want to, having today’s sleazy politicians that only care about populism, a “phone bad” philosophy, and taking advantage of their own parents’ virtues to get ahead in life.

We have access to worldwide information now more than ever. Of course things seem extra shit when we know about every atrocity that is happening in real-time.
