No, boomers are responsible for the mess of crap we've found ourselves in. That's why people blame them for it. They voted for "i got mine, and pulled the ladders up that helped them build their wealth and education". That's why we blame them for shit still.
I'm so sick of this divisive generation claptrap.
The problem is that wealth inequality in the USA has an age component.
Boomers are far wealthier than previous generations at their equivalent age as a percentage of national wealth. They are also incredibly sensitive to taxes as their retirement depends on managing wealth.
In contrast, Gen X and millennials are poorer than Boomers at their equivalent age and mainly contribute to the economy with their labor.
It isn't a perfect divide, but there is a wealth divide that represents itself somewhat as a generational divide.
If gen Z/A/Millennials had the same opportunities as the Boomers did they would do exactly the same.
Exactly. It's not young vs old, black vs white, left vs right, etc. The ONLY enemy are the WEALTHY, and we will never have peace in this nation and this world until we force the Sociopathic Oligarchs and the Transnational Corporations to serve our people, our nation, and the world, and not just themselves.
What's interesting is that some people read this and think it means "bigotry isn't a problem anymore", instead of "the rich use bigotry to control the masses". You have to address bigotry as well as the economic issues.
talk to me when our president isnβt geriatric
Well, its obviously not my generation at fault. /s
The issue now though is that none of the politicians, talking heads, radical fascist right wing influences are boomers. Some are X, most are Millennials. This could have been turned around according to those who insisted that "all this will.die off with the Boomers!" for the past 20 years but NO, we became even MORE radically fascist and racist.
The generation divide is silly because it isnt fucking true...not int the least.
No, its the boomers still. They created the news networks like Fox News, turned the internet into the cess pool that it is, and drove all of the propaganda that has turned millennial and gen X people into frothing right-wing nut jobs. Maybe in ten years, we can stop saying its the boomers. But they have single handedly been responsible for all of the shit we find ourselves in, the housing bubbles, the student loan crisis, everything. I'll stop saying its the boomers when its no longer a problem of their generations making.
And when younger generations continue the same program?
Absolving them of responsibility is highly irresponsible.
You wanna know who to actually blame?:
