Why don't Westerners respect their elderly?

Most people I know respect their own grandparents but fucking hate other old people. Most old people I meet on the street are rude cunts or fucking terrible drivers.

Western elderly do not deserve respect. They all belong to the generation that introduced counter-culture, multiculturalism and progressive disease. They should be free game to be killed and robbed at will.

you're just looking for excuses, because letting your old mother live in your house would be sooo unconfortable and you can't have that.

Because in the capitalistic consumerist and jewish society we live in there is no time to stop, you've always gotta make money or you're gonna fall behind, fall too much and you end up in the dirt, old people are usualy relics of the past that spout uneducated opinions on shit they don't know and use the state's money to fund their pension while contributing nothing and occupying space and using resources that are ever dwindling. It's true that not all old people are like that and not every country in hte West treats their elderly like that but what I just said represents what usualy happens.

Eh I was only 14 when he died I had no choice in the matter hopefully I can do better by my mum.

Our elderly, unlike Western elderly, built the economy of our countries rather than live off the accomplishments of their parents and inviting Arabs into their cunts.

The ones who will really be fucked good by old people are you young shits who will have to support the pensions of an elderly generation twice your size. Have fun :^)

To be fair, I'm not fucking stupid. I'm from a dystopian family, and we don't have strong family bonds in the west to begin with, so that says a lot. Can't say how I'll be in the future. but at most I'll still complain about shitskins and our socialist government being too generous.
>>
>>60294152

Old people in the West are massive cunts. They treat people like shit and expect to be treated kindly in return because of their age. Where I live it's not unusual to see old people doing shit like threatening/insulting people or kicking your dogs/cats for getting close to them.

They don't fit in with the modern world and instead of adapting they take their anger out on everyone else. All the old people I've met from places like Japan and India are always based as fuck though.
>>
>>60294594
many languages (greek and japanese included) have more than one forms of addressing someone.

In greek, when you address older people or strangers or when just talking formally you use plural. There are 2 types of (You)s, one is for a single person and/or close friend, and the other is for multiple people and/or showing respect

btw all you faggots with daddy issues will have the chance (on average) to personally whipe their asses and spoon feed them twice a day for over a decade.

the post in question is an old man trying to guilt his grandchildren into coming to dinner. He obviously does something wrong if only one showed up, and this one is bitter and pathetic enought to expose his grandfather and offend his siblings on the internet.

From what I see in western media, it is more that they are just so individualistic they do not care about anyone but themselves.

Old Irish people are, by and large, great.

They're openly anti-immigration and will say things like, "I'm sorry if it's not PC, but you can't really trust foreigners."

They also understand politics and economics far better than young people, because they grew up with the newspaper and four channels on television, rather than le big bong theory or the Kardashians or whatever.

The women are also very kind and motherly.

Neglectful parents and children exist everywhere. It's a big percentage, but certainly not the majority and if anything I'd rather be seeing children neglecting their parents than children getting abused by them.

These are not opposites. You can have very good parents who are neglected by their children, and very abusive parents who have children who look after them anyway.

>why are so many russian parents and grandparents alcoholic?
>Why are gopnics so common?
Because of the collapse of the Soviet Union, everything went to hell.

>Why are hookers the #1 Russian export?
Prostitution is illegal so I presume they go abroad to do it.

how? if they're such good parents, why didn't they teach the children to have empathy? It's a bullshit argument. Maybe one in a million are brain damaged, but that's it.

Old people in the West (or at least the US) are fiercely independent. They don't want their grandkids around 24/7. Sure it's nice to visit, but to have to live with your children or your children's children is a sign that they can no longer take care of themselves and that they're a burden which they hate.

When my gran got too sick to take care of herself, we gave her the choice between an assisted living facility and coming home with us. She chose the former.

my friend's grandmother is 91 and has dementia and multiple psychosis. regularly shits the bed, forgets where she is, starts screaming and tries to exit the house via window.
friend's dad has hired five women so far to watch over her, and rented an apartment just for her. two of the women quit because it's a full time job watching the grandma and too stressful. the monthly expenses for the nurses and the apartment go up to 1k euros.
can you imagine doing this in a country where the median wage is 300 euros? luckily the guy's a surgeon and so is his wife so he barely feels it on his wallet, but how many old people can say the same for their children?
the alternative is a 200e/mo retirement home.

I work as a doorman in NYC. My building has a lot of elderly Americans. Mostly widows but some couples still alive. Their adult children visit maybe once or twice a year. It's mostly the building staff that look after them. Listen to their stories, help them out of bed run errands for them. One of my coworkers is actually in an old ladies will. I think she is leaving the apartment to him. I can imagine the legal headaches this will cause when she passes away and her son will find out.

>it's never been easier to get jobs
That's not quite true, at least not here.
In the 1950s-1980s you could just walk into any of the local factories and tell them you needed a job.
Education was not really needed since they had all that "in house", hell in one of the local industries the standard question when you asked them for a job was "What do you want to work with?"
Back then they had anything from raw material handling to building tractors, industrial machinery or building cannons and other military equipment.

Then it was just a matter of completing the 2-4 month apprentice education where you followed an experienced worker, which the industry payed for together with a basic salary to cover living expenses.

Be French in the 60-70s. Get load of works even with only high school diploma and can afford middle class standard of living. Buy a house for the equivalent of 5 years salary, with payement which anyway are ridiculed by 10 inflation while having relatively low tax and then retired at age 55 or 60.

Be young and French in 2000s jobs are hard as fuck to get, even with a fucking master degree have to pay shiton of taxes for elderly/ immigrants/ random bullshit. Housing worth 30 years of salary can only retire after 42 years of work eventhough you get a job way later than in the 70s.

How the fuck is nobody even mentionning this shit??!!!

>>
>>60303042
that's litterally how it works in France retard.
Nobody is saving money, the money is used right away.

Basically the people working right now are paying for the old people of now. But of course since the ratio between the work force and the retiree is 3 times higher than 30 years ago they take you 3 times more money.

It's why it's so ridiculous they pretty much saved nothing and expect people to pay for them now.

I went to popeyes with a friend yesterday and saw this old man in a wheel chair and what looked like his grandson. The grandson literally brought his laptop with these huge ass headphones and watched some anime while eating doritos. The old man was just sitting there staring at the wall the whole time until he got asked to be wheeled out in which the grandkid stood up and burped as he wheeled him out and then came back and continued eating doritos and watching anime. It was honestly one of the most horrendous I've ever seen recently.

From my experience people who complain about people complaining about that have severe survivorship bias and/or ignorance of how their circumstances benefitted them in attributing their success to themselves.

You is the formal second person. Thou is the informal second person. When we use "you" we are showing the most amount of respect.

Thou should read more about the second person pronouns, as they are interesting.

Dude...the quality of the media was not better in the 1950s. If anything it was worse because you had very limited sources for news and information beyond kloset kommies like Walter Cronkite who looked like your uncle, but were actually brainwashing you.

Today with the Interwebz, you have an unlimited source of news and opinions other than Uncle Walt.

"Music is one of the great things that divides generations. Most people who grew up listening to the Beatles are indifferent, if not outright hostile to punk, rap, and heavy metal. The music my peers generally came up listening to was jazz. You would have a hard time convincing someone my age that Eminem, Bono, or even the very good, Grammy-winning Nora Jones are better and more talented than Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie, or Frank Sinatra. And just to show I'm not biased, I will exclude from the mix so-called 'swing' bands like the amazingly untalented Guy Lombardo."

my grandparents live in a small town in the asshole of finland
grandma has a really bad back
grandfather is quadriplegic, incontinent and has mild dementia
he can't get out of bed alone and can barely move on a wheelchair
he shits and pisses in his pants every day, and every day he has to be cleaned up
the caretakers abuse them very often

i hope this generation will be slightly different, as we were born with technology and the internet, which has been pretty much the most groundbreaking and world-changing thing in the history of humanity, both in what they are able to achieve and what their potential is

Because they made the first 18 years of my life hell. Why would I want to respect them? I just put up with them.

Sort of the same, but my parents parents were pretty poor growing up and managed to dig themselves into middle class. Lots of their success came from the inflated housing market which they manipulated a bit. Even though we ended up doing fine with money they didn't want to waste money on things like dentistry for their children.

So now on top of probably never being able to afford a home, I'm also stuck with thousands of dollars in dentistry bills for the rest of my adult life because it was easier to feed me sugary junk food for lunch as a child than give me an apple and sandwich apparently.

In North America we're expected to try to move out after we finish high school. Its becoming less common as things get more affordable, but most still try and end up living with friends.

It's where "loser who lives in his parents basement" comes from. If you can't live on you're own you've failed as a young adult.

>It's where "loser who lives in his parents basement" comes from.
Never heard about it. Why live in the basement? Isn't better to stay in your bedroom?
>If you can't live on you're own you've failed as a young adult.
Can you get a job that pays more than the minimum wage after high school? I only know two people who did this and it was thanks to their family connections.
>>
Why do old people think they are entitled to respect based on nothing but their age? If they want respect they have to earn it.

Most problems and successes of western society can be traced back to individualism. You have to work hard as shit to make something of yourself, and who cares if you throw away your friends and family in the process, and then you get old you get thrown away.

Good men, fuck boomer and Gen X-er filth, most of them don't even deserve nursing home visits. This "blood is thicker than water" thing is also bullshit.
It doesn't matter if I have a work ethic, if I'm responsible or if I have at least some independence, and since the referendum, my vote doesn't count either.
I'm struggling with the simplest tasks here, thanks to the bureaucracy and tax they've imposed. They threw the economy down the shitter and you cannot even find a small, reasonably priced 1-bedroom apartment since their generations bought and hoarded everything.
At the very least I have a clear conscience, as many of these things were outside my control (19yo). Most old fucks I know here have voted in the commies and mortgaged our future, hopefully by the next decade they'll be maggot food.

I sound like a cunt, but you have to understand where i'm coming from.

literally the opposite of everything you just said is true. Babyboomers were handed all that stuff by their parents, and then they squandered it. It hasn't been harder to get decent jobs or start a family since before WW2

It's a full circle

Also they did it to their parents, and our kids will do it to us
