For all those searching for moral and ethical clarity in what seems a nation gone mad — I may have good news.

Hang with me for a little thread about how, for reasons we may never understand, the #BabyBoomers and the late #SilentGeneration are criminally inclined to an abnormal degree.

First, this article from the Atlantic titled “AMERICA’S INCARCERATION RATE IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF A CLIFF.”

What Unique Skills Define the Silent and Greatest Generations?

#SilentGeneration #GreatestGeneration #LostGeneration #SkillsAcrossGenerations Hey there! Let’s chat about generational skills for a moment. We often hear people referring to certain abilities as unique to specific age groups. For instance: – **Driving a stick-shift** and **writing in cursive** are often seen as skills o...

Just realized that It there is a #genx , #geny ( #millennials ), #Genz and #genalpha that means

The #lostgeneration is Gen T
The #greatestgeneration is Gen U
The #silentgeneration is Gen V
and #Boomers are Gen W.

The #GreatestGeneration - or #SilentGeneration - is departing the third rock from the Sun in real-time.

The #SilentGeneration was encased in silence due to PTSD.

You would have been, too, if you lived through what they did.

Oh, you disagree?

That’s super interesting to me.

However much the reactionary "religious" right rages, younger generations are overcoming the #LGBTQ+ stigma.

Every generation about doubles identification.

My dad turned 82 this week. I asked him how it feels, and he replied, "It sucks."

Y'know, I appreciate the honesty.

#SilentGeneration
#GenX

The Lemon Grove to Brown v Board arc is from #SilentGeneration children to Baby Boomer children.

How does the pattern of #civilrights, #education and #learning replay for #GenX, #Millennials, and #GenZ with a legal precedent around the time they are entering middle school?

Millennial women are facing the first decline in well-being since the Silent Generation, report says https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/11/health/millennial-women-health-and-safety-wellness/index.html #women #millennials #sufferage #SilentGeneration #depression #life #lifesucks

The #SilentGeneration was labeled as such after surviving the Great Depression, industrial-scale genocide, and deployment of thermonuclear weapons.

Do you think they earned the label by being chatty about their feelings?

The trauma earned them the label of #SilentGeneration.

Lately I’ve been seeing Gen Z-ers being called Zoomers. First of all bravo you namers. You named Gen Z-ers after their most hated generation. The one they keep getting compared to, negatively of course.

Secondly you didn’t check with other parts of the world to see if someone started calling Boomers, themselves, this. They had. ZoomerMedia is an entrenched Canadian company that began in 2007, (ten years before people began calling Gen Z-ers this). Shortly before, Boomers that were more active in older ages than their parents and other generations coined the term Zoomers. As this was a positive portrayal of the generation, Canadian media pounced and Zoomer Magazine and Zoomer Radio were born.

It’s not for a lack of names that some call you Zoomers, Gen Z. Pick any of the following: iGeneration, centennials, post-millennials, and Homelanders have all been used. Why not pick one of these? It’s easy.

Otherwise we name our generations thusly: the Greatest Generation, the Silent Generation, Zoomers, Gen X, Millennials, Zoomers. So maybe the new naming convention should be every third generation is named Zoomer.

However, Zoomer Media you aren’t helping your case. Now you say a Zoomer is anyone 45 and older. I will not sit by silently while you have attempted to wipe out Gen X and all they have fought for. Do you think a swipe of the pen can erase our non-identity identity?

It really doesn’t help your case when this is on the Zoomermedia page:

ZoomerMedia focuses on Canada’s most powerful audiences — the 17.2 million Baby Boomers and Gen Xers over the age of 45 (which we coined Zoomers) and the 13.2 million Millennials and Gen Zs under 45 (which in the US have recently also been coined Zoomers). The term Zoomer now represents the whole family, from old to young.

Now everyone’s a Zoomer? I don’t see generation, I only see Zoomers?

I might give up on deciding which side to land on. But I for sure do not agree that Gen X and Millenials should get wiped out by an all encompassing Zoomer tag.

Hippy Boomers of the 50’s and 60’s freaked out the Silent Generation so badly, they went into reactionary mode, launched the War on Drugs, and now we can’t have nice things.

Find I need to look up the different generations with frequency. I found this image from Wikipedia to be useful
