He was forced to retire from an administrative government position after 35 years. Our house is paid off and with what my mom makes and his retirement pension he doesn’t have to work ever again and doesn’t even have to adjust his lifestyle.

He worked 60 hours a week since I can remember, missed many family events, many of mine since im 15 years younger than my siblings and he was already very busy by the time i was born.

Why are boomers like this? I never want a job or career if im gonna end up like this.

We’re trying to get him to do community volunteer work.

they were the first generation to experience "modern" television advertising. between that and leaded gasoline fumes, their brains and literally mush. they were born and bred to be the most perfect goyim slaves. without wageslavery and a jewish boss breathing down their neck, they are quite literally lost.

My 70 yo dad is such a lazy, irresponsible dipshit that he lost his job and turned to drinking and drugs, then lost his wife, then lost his house, then blew every last penny on more drugs, then lost my brother, then turned to meth for 20 years and lost his mind, then got diabetes and lost his leg because he treated a third degree burn with bleach instead of going to a doctor because, and I quote, he 'doesn't want to be controlled'. Now he's on his deathbed and spends his days watching clickbait on YouTube and blaming everything and everyone one for his problems and is going to die alone, poor and fucked because he is pathologically incapable of accepting responsibility for his atomic failures and insists on insulting and degrading the only person left to bail him out of his own retardation

Kek, he's not happy, literally zombified by years of meth and Alex Jones, no thoughts in his except hating trannies, leftoids, and women. It's almost based but they live rent free in his head and he can't have a conversation without steering it to a topic that will make have impotent fits of rage, like you'd expect from a toddler. He yells at the tv. It's fucking horrifying what's happened to his body and mind and he only serves as an example of what not to do

When you've been conditioned for 35+ years to work 40-60 hours you lose your mind the moment it's taken away. It's consumed your entire life; you have nothing else to live for; it's why so many marriages fail when workaholic boomers retire and suddenly have to spend time with their spouse. Always be wary of people who say they love their jobs and act like you're a deadbeat for not wanting to slave away your entire life, because they're thoroughly broken people.

for most people their job is the bulk of their identity, and the remainder is usually vapid, inane bullshit like consuming electronics/fashion/politics/travel. When a modern got stops working, it fries their brain.

The real answer is that people like OP's father are running from something inside their head. They need to fill their time as much as possible to escape it. They are not able to just let it sit in their head and process. It's an abstract emotional/psychological thing.

It's the same thing as someone who games 24/7, or drug addicts and alcoholics.

This is probably the best solution if he has no hobbies. Get him off the drugs and get him to waste his time on WOW or what ever the fuck the latest MMORPG is. He can berate the zoomers in raid chat to feel good about himself.

yeah, he's going to need to make some adjustments to his headspace. He can easily find volunteer admin work, every locality needs a lot of that, but he's got to get rid of the idea that the work is more important than family and smelling the roses. At the moment he's acting like he's unemployed not retired.
