I am protected from my haters

@Panther_PUA I never said anything about race though.

@soetsappies Yes because white peple do not divorce.

Middle class girls from intact families aren't warned enough to avoid men from fucked up backgrounds

British boomers are now in my replies whinging about how they didn't eat a banana until late childhood!!!

@WaarheidZAR Thankfully, they only got TV in 1976

@soetsappies South African boomers are like 70% based to their credit Nothing like direct experience with the motherless world

I opened the boomer discourse can of worms. My replies are like a Hillbrow whorehouse on a public holiday!!

@markmcc04105398 What lesson am I supposed to learn?

@soetsappies Why do you not learn any lessons from WWII?

Why do boomers pretend they experienced WWII?

@SwordsaintPress My parents were young and white in peak apartheid South Africa so in their case, they really did have it relatively easy

@soetsappies The honest answer is that every generation believes the golden age was about 20-30 years before they were born, i.e. when their parents were young

@goodmeister I don't think a month's worth of coffee and cafe sandwiches covers a mortgage though

@soetsappies Work hard save hard and stop kissing money away on Instagram lifestyles and they'll be fine. Some of these 'impoverished ' youngsters think nothing of paying £10 for a coffee and sandwich for lunch each day when a pack up is pennies.

@bohlokoa711 Yeah, they have no idea what they're dealing with. It sounds snobby but you really need to be aware of someone's family background and whether they've really dealt with the effects.

@soetsappies And these girls from the suburbs always think they can fix these men. These men live in constant fight or flight mode and they're incredibly selfish.

@juglordnito They're not even going to leave us anything. Cruises cost money!

@soetsappies God I cant wait till they’re gone

@ZosoGraffiti They were born after the war

@soetsappies Because a lot of them did

@rhodeislander @Fergie_CJ My poor great-uncle had to go fight in Libya because the Limeys, who had impoverished his father's family during the Boer War, dragged us into their problems!

@soetsappies @Fergie_CJ The limeys haven't been the same since Massachusetts kicked their ass.

@rhodeislander @Fergie_CJ America saves their asses in two wars and this is the thanks you get!

@Fergie_CJ @soetsappies Our deadliest war was, in fact, on our own soil, but thanks for limesplaining American history, and war for that matter, Lime-ette. Also, your comment has fuck all to do with the fact that Americans do in fact know what the baby boom was, both within the US and without.

@AHjerdin Most South Africans were born after 1961 and Anglos are tiny minority. Most whites are Afrikaans.

@soetsappies The monarchy is part of British history and culture. Queen Elizabeth II was the Head of State until 1961 and English most South Africans can speak across all groups.

Petit bourgeois Anglo South Africans are really into the British royal family. It's extremely cringe.

@iandalrymple9 The oldest boomers were babies in 1947

@soetsappies Because we suffered the repercussions - 1947 coldest winter in years, rationing, housing shortage etc

@goodmeister I'm not British but I think they don't want to be impoverished so boomers and third world immigrants can have huge pensions from the state

@soetsappies Dunno. Why do the young feel like they are owed everything from previous generations hard work.?

@Michael42566194 They were born after the war. My uncle fought in a war but I don't think I experienced it.

@soetsappies They did. I know two ladies who were evacuated and my dad lost his step brothers in the battle of the Atlantic.

@johnR98271945 @hmaria916 So you were eight when it ended and had a bit of rationing in your childhood

@soetsappies @hmaria916 For your information on in my 89th year. I’ve noticed so many envious disbelieving snots on here it comes as quite a shock.

@casapinos So some older boomers experienced the aftermath as children

I wasn't born until some time after WW2 ended but that birth took place in a street that still had houses missing, which had been bombed, still had rationing, still had youngish men missing limbs on the streets, others with "shell shock" who wandered around aimlessly muttering unintelligibly to no one in particular.

@ringo_chutney My grandparents told me lots of stories but I don't believe I experienced them

@PJA1066 They didn't though. They were children when that happened.

@soetsappies For many the aftermath lasted for over a decade after the end of the war. Boomers were the generation that built back the economy and the national infrastructure.
