Boomers don't actually believe this works. They just hate their children and want to shame them for not being as successful as them.
They don't hate their children*, they are just more psychologically prepared to believe that their children are fuck ups than believe that capitalism is bad
*Some of them definitely hate their children
I've met a weird number of Boomer with kids who admit openly they actually didn't want kids, including my own dad, who said it openly to me and my sister.

It’s so insanely fucked to live that way and then to admit it to your child.
