No they didn't, they went along with the mono-media - and still do. Due to the size of the bloc nothing will improve until boomers die out and by then it will be to late to change course.
Idk the biggest protests of the last century happened around Vietnam and later nuclear proliferation. (Where I'm from). Add to that the American Civil rights protests.
Following generations haven't been able to organise protests that come close.
The Vietnam war was one of the first wars where unfiltered footage, pictures and reports were available to the public. So people was outraged because it was in the news. This taught the narrative sculptors that such a thing cannot happen again.
Corporate consolidation, editorial control thorough the foundations laid with Operation Mockingbird killed any chance of people being inclined to protest. Unless it's to their benefit - Have you noticed any protests that seem inorganic, more like they're designed and then approved by the media?
These days people are overwhelmed with information so they started narrowing down their news sources with the most obviously propagandising outlets being the first to go. Look at how the legacy media is struggling as their viewers base is slowly dying out.
So now people are free to get outraged about the truth again? No, we're building a new, singular (albeight highly curated) source of truth.
Where people used to say "it's true because I saw it in the news" we're now saying "it's true because AI said it".
Ok so you give that the boomer generation protesting changed the way the incumbent proto boomers went about their business.
Which was my point.
If your argument is that the way the boomers went about the issues only led to it being hid from them, sure - Their actions had effect.
Out of sight, out of mind. And that's why I see no possibility of change before the boomers die out, they are willfully ignorant and the demographic majority until then.
