Through the media, there was one more time a debate about generations, again dominated by the subject of "boomers complaining that young people do not want to teardrop their guts out in their companies". Jacek Dehnel made a mockery of it at his home on Facebook, having a imagination of the sketch about Polish boomers by the fireplace, as a fresh variant of classical "men of Yorkshire".
At first glance, this frustration should not be. A typical boomer with specified regrets has a beautiful career.
We all envy him. Why can't he wipe his tears with a 100 dollars?
It seems to me that for a fewer years we have seen the caroling of the boomer merovings from my generation – the Xth generation of the classical strategy of the emancipation of majordomus.
Polish boomers had no experience with capitalism or management of large structures. It is hard for individual like that to keep the luck gained in the first years of transformation.
Kaczyński did the comparatively wisest thing by investing in Warsaw's real estate. But he besides loses control of his empire, as evidenced by the fact that the main game is now taking place between Ziobra and Morawiecki. Kaczyński plays a amazingly passive role, as if it got out of control.
My hypothesis is that these fewer properties of the Center Agreement were many years ago, but now Kaczyński is dealing with politicians who, through state-owned companies and various unusual foundations, control capital larger by a government of magnitude. He gave it to them!
Similar processes take place on our side. Emperor Tusk returned from the Brussels palace to discover that his erstwhile subjects were leaning towards the Marquis of Trzaskowski, if not even the renegat Holownia.
The fresh “war in Agora” was besides generational. Although people about Agora are inactive saying to this day that "Michnik this, Michnik that", at the same time it was apparent that the main decisions were made by people of my generation. Compared to Michnik, comparatively anonymous, but in fact long held power in the company.
Dehnel's imaginary scene with boomers complaining in "a villa with a fireplace" should so take into account that this villa has long belonged to any Obiek from Generation X. individual who could play capitalism better, as with this scum ("I have experience and he has money – in a year I will have money and he has experience").
Their complaint is to mourn the lost control. A planet that doesn't understand. Like Dydon lamenting – "When I am being cancelled on Twitter...".
For Polish boomers, the experience was PRL and martial law. For the X generation, an early kleptocratic transformation, erstwhile the Ferrari truly waited around the corner, was adequate to conjure up a reprivatization claim from a 150-year-old.
Plus, of course, papal creams. After all, it was my peers who promoted the concept of "generation of JP2".
I'll say something unpopular, but this draft of generations is simply a conversion for the worse. Whatever we accuse Polish boomers of, they usually meant well. On both sides.
Kaczyński wanted to be a “emerged savior of his homeland” due to the fact that he believed in the urinary mythology. Agora's founders believed they would give good work to thousands of people. The Gdańsk Liberals believed capitalism would consequence in thousands of specified companies.
The tide will lift up all the boats, and the wealth will grasp. That's the thing about the holy books. Could von Hayek and von Mises be wrong?
The Majordomos' formation has no specified aspirations. Morawiecki confessed that his imagination of capitalism was a mass of "fuckin' rice bowl" and the wealth of a very fewer elites.
That's typical of us. To tell you the truth, I see it the same way (that's why I like to set myself up as an outsider in this strategy – I am not drawn to specified “elite”.
We had a profoundly internalized belief that in capitalism an worker has no rights. That's why we agreed to unpaid overtime, mobbing, exploitation – and erstwhile 1 of us was promoted, without much reflection he tormented fresh colleagues. due to the fact that it's the right thing to do.
The discussion of the "culture of the fuck" is so double dishonest. The Boomers pretend they didn't know anything about what was happening in their companies (it's a scandal, this place is gambling!). In generation X, anyone who was anything has something behind their ears.
As a consequence of the war of generations in the PiS may be Polexit. In the liberal camp, its consequence is simply a chronic leadership crisis. So you realize my deficiency of enthusiasm.
That's why I like the word "grandfather." I realize that this is an ironic word for a typical of Gen X or boomers who stubbornly adheres to a pre-decade strategy of values ("it was acceptable in the eighties, it was acceptable at the time").
I don't head being called that. I effort to realize fresh times, but, for example, the phenomenon of people who (a) put the selfice on a pad, (b) get mad at comments about their appearance, is inconceivable to me.
However, I can imagine how a young vegetarian looks at individual like me – a steak eater and a petrolhead. I say the word "grandfather" is simply a polite compromise anyway, so I'm dropping the helmet in a rematch.
We'll leave you a mess to clean up, so it's not our occupation to complain now.
