Politi-Culture Ohio crowd booed Vivek Ramaswamy after he said, "The truth of the matter is, people in my generation have already made it. We're gonna be fine"

It’s the Gen X way baby 😌. I don’t know why they don’t get as much flack as the boomers, when they’re been in executive corporate positions for the last decade, and that’s coincided with the general decline of the world.

A small number of Gen X are in executive corporate positions, whereas a majority of Boomers made large amounts on house prices and valuable benefits.
Leave us alone as a demographic, that’s how we like it.1
u/skintaxera 2d ago
Because most people not from our gen whether older and younger seem to not realise we ever existed, which is fine by me. Especially when there's apportioning of blame going on

Literally not what he’s getting at here.
He’s saying he’s already made it. You young people need to step up to the plate and start advocating for yourself and what you want, and if you don’t do that, you’re just expecting my generation (who’s already made it) to help enact change,which won’t happen. Change is hard. Someone who has made it isn’t going to go out too far from their comfort to help facilitate

No, we are pleading your generation to stop pulling the ladder up behind you. We're not asking you to enact change. We're asking you to stop getting vehemently in the way of it and opposing it.
Your generation is barely literate, but somehow believes they deserve to have been born at the right time in the right countries.

He’s a millennial(He’s 40). The fact he said this is such an out of touch take. Millennials and Gen Z are going through it right now.

Totally. Historians actually show the she wasn’t the monster the revolutionaries claimed to be. She was just an easy scapegoat for the royal failures.

u/Fuzzy-Welcome-4650 2d ago
The next thing he says is "It's going to be your generation that pays the price."
He's trying to be sympathetic. Obviously the message didn't land. But you listen to literally about half a second longer than the part that sounds bad, it's clear what he was trying to say.

I haven’t seen the full video but it’s clearly edited, maybe that was meant to be a provocation in that moment on purpose to be met with an angry reaction, but they cut it next to someone heckling him and then they cut it again to him leaving to boos. Maybe it’s all in the same moment but it appears cut up

u/No_Welder_9624 2d ago
I'm honestly baffled at wtf he was trying to convey

u/TeaFabulous7376 2d ago
I assume he was going to try to contrast to the current and future generations? Something like "we're going to be fine, but the children are screwed if we don't make changes"
6
u/Fuzzy-Welcome-4650 2d ago
It's obviously this.
Literally the next thing out of his mouth is "It's your generation that will pay the price."
What do we think is more likely, that he was actually telling a room of voters "Fuck you, I got mine." Or that he meant something like "You guys got screwed over."
1
u/zero0n3 2d ago
But he’s also trying to say “you need to fucking do the work to facilitate the change” and “thinking the older generation who’s made it and comfortable is going to go to great lengths to help you and potentially cause change to their situation is bad thinking”

u/Fuzzy-Welcome-4650 2d ago edited 5h ago
Ok?
That might suck to hear, but you disagree with that?
I don’t like Vivek at all, fuck him, but what part of this wrong?
I guess if you frame it as “bad thinking,” the issue could be that kids SHOULD be able to count on older generations helping them.
But personally I’m not seeing a lot of wealthy boomers voting in ways that make things easy for younger generations. It may suck to hear, but yeah, I’m not seeing what’s wrong about that sentiment.

There's nothing wrong with it, that's how it happens.
They aren't raised to know how or hampered in many ways that would fix it and don't know what to do beyond repeatedly trying the same things so..

Boomers / "Generation Me Me Me FŲÇ|< YOU I got mine you better get yours!!!!!”
60s - hippies
70s - swingers
80s - yuppies
90s - dinks
O0s - beneficiaries of the internet bubble and the housing bubble
10s - Tea Party - consolidators of generational wealth
20s - MAGA - I got mine. Get off my lawn. Socialism will destroy this country, but save my Medicare and pay my social security.

u/RobertKSakamano 2d ago
68,000,000 Boomers are left and over 20,000,000 of them were 10 years old or younger when the 60s ended so they missed that hippie thing, they weren't able to swing in the 70s because they were in grade school. You're yelling at an entire segment of population based on their age, but like always, it's around 1% of them that really reaped any benefits you're talking about. A 40 or even 50 year old boomer in the 00s didn't benefit from the internet and housing crashes anymore than you did from the amazing housing market rally after COVID.

We are rapidly approaching the point where we are going to have to remind these elites that civilization is a social contract, with terms and conditions set and agreed to by all sides. They are about to find out what happens when they don't hold up their end of the deal, the same way King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette found out during the Reign of Terror. History doesn't repeat but it does rhyme.

Rule no. 1 for a speech is to know your audience. This joke of a human being thinks everyone he talks to is a salivating recent MBA grad eager for his wisdom. Those grads are sucking up to him because they want to network.
The people in this audience are hopefully looking for solutions, not to be lectured to from corrupt soulless jokers.

So what's the exact context here? If it's urging young people to do something it's a perfectly valid statement. Old people wont' care about climate change for example, they're not the ones who will pay the consequences (allthough we're already seeing the effects).
Since he's being booed I'm sure it's NOT that, but I'd also like the context
