Mr. Husis wrote that older people incorrectly viewed Marine Le Pen as a copy of her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen. He claimed that for decades she had tried to downplay the party’s most controversial positions and distance herself from her father, among other things by distancing herself from repatriation, using socialist arguments in economic matters, and toning down the rhetoric about the Islamization of France. He assessed that she would likely be a disaster for France and Europe and pave the way for a far-left president. #MarineLePen #Frankrike #Politik (translated)

Realtek stated that gerontocracy threatens the future of the nation. He accused the baby boomer generation of worsening the prospects for young people by allowing a very large influx of migrants to finance pensions. He added that the older generation no longer cared about the country's future and left its concerns to the younger generation. #gerontokracja #młodzież #przyszłość (translated)

Mihura said it seemed ironic to him that those who advocated for drinking with paper straws to protect the climate in 100 years saw no problem in indebting future generations and deteriorating the welfare state to ensure a comfortable retirement for the boomers. #CambioClimático #GeneracionesFuturas #JusticiaSocial (translated)

Laurent Pietraszewski, former Secretary of State in charge of pensions, laments the perception of baby boomers as a golden generation and calls for a reevaluation of the taxation of retirees, while emphasizing the importance of contributory capacity rather than age in this discussion. #Retraites #Fiscalité #Générations (translated)

Elisabetta Aldrovandi wondered if the people who criticize boomers are aware of their role in taking care of their grandchildren and providing financial support to their children. She wrote that many would have retired at 50 or 60 and then cared for their grandchildren five days a week and helped their children buy a house or pay rent and bills. According to Aldrovandi, if those people were still working at 70 and could not offer help, many of their children would literally be on the street. #Generazione #Boomers #Familia (translated)

ShaqVII characterized it positively that some had quit smoking and alcohol. He claimed that this way, those who worked 14 hours a day could endure more and earn more. He also mentioned that not having their own home was a positive thing, as, in his opinion, they spent their money on the pleasures of life instead of on real estate. For those facing panic attacks and identity disorder, ShaqVII stated that they reacted normally in a society and life that, as he wrote, had been shaped by the boomers and were entirely selfish and overconsumptive. He added that younger people worked on themselves and shaped their character, in contrast to the boomers, who, according to him, vented their dissatisfaction with family complaints and onto their children. #κοινωνία #νέαγενιά #ψυχολογία (translated)

Antoine Léaument criticized baby boomers influenced by the media and far-right ideas for lecturing young people, whom he described as being a hundred times more aware of the realities of the world. He also stated that Generation Z was smarter than those who sought to advise them. #GenZ #IntelligenceCollective #Médias (translated)

Ogre contrasted the economic choices of Germany and France, arguing that Berlin was betting on military spending to preserve its industry, while Paris favored the purchasing power of seniors, which he presented as support for restaurants. He referred to 2050 to determine which country made the better bet. #Allemagne #France #militaires (translated)

Antiselfist pointed out a contradiction in the attitude of boomers: according to him, they previously said that every young man should undergo military training, and later they were outraged by games in which one plays as a soldier and shoots. https://t.co/3UdGklP3EG #wojsko #gry #młodzież (translated)

Professor Penguin wrote that after tragedies in which the perpetrator killed in schools, the older generation automatically blamed video games. In his opinion, they overlooked the upbringing of children in a world that they themselves did not understand, as well as the television full of violence and the romanticization of psychopaths in series and movies. #ZUEGRY #przemoc #wychowanie (translated)

Lysandre wrote that he largely understood the claims of students and high school students and supported their substance, but not their form. He added that, in his opinion, the money that had been lacking in their education for ten years had been generously given to the baby boomers. #Éducation #JusticeSociale #SoutienÉtudiant (translated)

Mickpl ironically referred to the term "casino" when describing the stock market and suggested that older people prefer to invest in additional apartments. He wrote that the Polish economy was based on Western corporations funding themselves on their own stock exchanges, while the Polish market lacked capital, and company debuts were rare. According to him, young people mainly found job contracts in corporations that could withdraw from Poland during the first downturn in the West. Mickpl assessed that leading the country by a generation of the baby boom will end in disaster, although it is unknown when that will happen. #Giełda #Gospodarka #Praca (translated)

The Ministry of Underdevelopment and Technophobia criticized the older generation for calling on the young to serve in the name of helping the weaker and contributing to the community, even though — as it wrote — the critics themselves had not spent even an hour in the military. It added that it reminded them of a person who had threatened to leave the country when a mention of transferring a small part of private property to the community arose. #boomerstwo #służba #wspólnota (translated)

The government has been managing the narrative for 8 years that home ownership was in the hands of "vulture funds," the "rich," and the "powerful." Documentaries have even been made with that focus. Now people are discovering that housing is in the hands of small owners, many of whom – here lies the key – are middle-class families, voters for PSOE and PP, simply due to age. There was a time when people could own 2 properties. All this, even to the point of tacitly acknowledging – in light of the decree – that limiting "speculative buying" to alleged vulture funds (companies created in many cases to manage the ownership of two or three apartments) would be detrimental. A study in the Netherlands concluded that limiting purchases for investors led to an increase in rents: these companies served the purpose of buying and rehabilitating rental stock. The purchase prices did not decrease significantly with the measure, but rental prices increased due to lower market supply because no one was providing it. The narratives are unraveling: PSOE has adopted all the mantras of Podemos as an electoral strategy to absorb that space and maintain more than 100 seats, but reality always ends up knocking at the door. Spain, a country of small owners from a very specific generation: the baby boomers. The rest is rhymes and legends. #Vivienda #Propiedad #PSOE (translated)
