Everyone forgets about Gen X... so let's blame them instead!
Every American too cowardly to throw a punch is to blame
Put me on the wall and shoot me all you like. Just make sure I'm surrounded by rich old people also getting shot. At this point, the fact the olds won't volunteer to die or die doing something about it is plenty of reason to blame them also.
Future generations, the environment, and the guillotine factoy need the time and resources they will waste keeping my wrinkled ass alive more than they need the microseconds of sleep and comfort that killing me "should" cost them.
Its the Epstein class's fault and the boomer are complicit, and the millennials are being fooled by both.
billionaires are at fault ... while we're all fighting, they keep getting richer
Yes, I agree. The billionaire class=the epstein class.
Exactly. It’s the people who have enough money to get away with being in the files.
I think that the epstein class is on another tier, but they are similar. The richest are obviously billionaires, but the most powerful (because of money or politics) tend to fall into the epstein class. Someone like many US senators etc. do not have billions, but they have a lot of power that makes them (as well as having enough money) in the the epstein class, being effectively untouchable by the courts because they can delay the courts long enough for it to not matter.
Politicians are much lower down on the food chain: they have to at least appear to be taking a side.
The billionaire just buys every side.
I disagree here. They don't actually have to do that. Sure, politicians take all of the money, but they are the (relatively) few in power to actually legislate things into being. It's like a filter for billionaire money in a sense. Billionaires need the US congress in their purse in order to push legislation.
Because billionaires need congress to pass legislation in order to keep them from harm, congress is beholden to the billionaire class. They are one and the same in the epstein class.

As I predicted, they switched to blaming Millenials. Eventually, it will be Gen Z's turn.
What exactly was I supposed to do to stop all this? I'm no fortunate son.
Do something about it or get out the way. Crying "why me though!?" is a distraction the real victims don't need.
I'm literally struggling just to get an ADHD diagnosis, while my co-workers laugh at me using PPE to save my lungs. Just getting enough money to even attempt anything is at best, a decade away, and at worst, we get killed by AI.
How fucking delusional are you? I already have a min-maxed plan, I have yet to design a Lemmy community for what I want to do.
Gen Alpha will blame Gen Z next, just you watch.
As a Millennial, I blame the Epstien Class AND the Boomers.
right?! the epstein class can't do shit without the votes and support from the boomers.
Then you have succumbed to propaganda from the Epstein class.
How so? These things are not mutually exclusive. As a whole and independent from the Epstien Class, Boomers are selfish assholes.
I hate to break it to you, but every generation is full of selfish assholes. That's the way it be.
You're ignoring nuance. Humans in general are selfish. Boomers are selfish humans.
Except Boomers all have lead poisoning from growing up around leaded gasoline, which means their generation is uniquely antagonistic, selfish, and stupid. This is not an "every generation" thing, there is an actual reason their generation is so short-sighted, uncaring of future generations, and has fucked everything up.
The boomers were unique in the way material conditions cultivated that selfishness. Their parents and grandparents left conditions better than they were given.
The Epstein class and their supporters which, by and large, includes boomers.
It included boomers, yes. And it included every other age group by fucking millions. 30 million women voted for him, too, in spite of all the rape allegations. I don’t get Lemmy’s obsession with blaming every last thing on boomers. The boomers are dying off in droves but the problems persist. Why? Because every so called generation has enough complicity to keep this shit going.
Do you think the epstein class only includes MAGA? Bill Clinton is in the files, in a hot tub with victims.
You vote matters, and therefor how people voted and continue to vote matters. Honestly, Gen Z is on my Shitlist for voting Trump back in.
Everyone but the genocide wing is at fault. They were horribly failed by the voters they rightfully own.
They are still around to bitch about it. We haven't failed them enough. FAIL HARDER!!

I can blame both, with more weighting to the billionaires of course. Only thing I suppose is that blaming boomers is generalising too much. Its a subset of boomers who vote to protect their exponentially increasing property values
Let's blame the Reich people, k?
FTFY
The thing that is our fault is that we haven't fixed things yet
With all that money we earned with those wages that stagnated and positions that were never freed up. Got it.
Or we could have voted for all those millennial politicians, for the past 20 years, to push forward the policies we have been asking for.
