No dude if we can just get rid of the ~~Juden~~ Boomers, all of our problems will be solved because the ~~Juden~~ Boomers are all responsible for every problem in ~~The Reich~~ America.
If you replace a word with another word it sounds shitty, who would've guessed?
It's all the same rhetoric. The Jews, the Blacks, the Boomers, the Zoomers, the Christians, the Muslims, etc.
Any comment that blames anything but class as being the only reason for why things are so bad is contributing nothing and hurting actual progress. A 1%er Zoomer does more harm in a single day than a 99th-percentile Boomer does in their lifetime.
Boomers are not an oppressed minority, literally the fucking opposite, what in the hell are you on about and wtf is wrong with you comparing reasonable hatred for the generation that fucked us all over to antisemitism? Not at all comparable, you're just going to bat for a generation that wants you to pay their social security while trying to get it abolished before you get any
Holy shit you're still missing the point.
There are boomers who are not wealthy.
The generation didn't fuck you over, the bourgeoisie did, as they always have. The fact that some of the bourgeoisie is made up of baby boomers is purely incidental. You are not being oppressed by Thomas James, 76 year-old local caterer who marched for Civil Rights before you were even born.
