I am tired of the boomer narrative of that it's always those "young people" ruining everything. Oldest millennials are now in their mid-40's. Or even worse, the youngest gen-z people are almost 18 now. These people have been paying their taxes for years on end now.

The only terrified people in this scenario are the literal parasites who don't pay anything, through loopholes and theft

The lone defender of the billionaires at this point says everything we need to know

Yep it is so stupid everyone blaming the boomers when they are no longer the largest voting block. But millennials are, also nobody wants to admit young people are stupid also.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

really telling on yourself there

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

unfortunately a lot of people blithely stand around defending the wealthy as the wealthy kick them in the balls

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Well, its obviously not my generation at fault. /s

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

talk to me when our president isn’t geriatric

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

And when younger generations continue the same program?

Absolving them of responsibility is highly irresponsible.

You wanna know who to actually blame?:

these guys

These comments are a shitshow. It has become not only acceptable, but the norm, to counter common sense argument with β€œyour mom”.

Idiocracy was supposed to be a satire, we were supposed to be smart and educated, the kind of people that can’t be easily fooled. Every day we return to monke a bit more.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Boomers were responsible for Reagan and Citizens United, you could maybe blame Gen X for Bush and Trump but definitely can't blame Millennials on that.

In fact, Millennials were even more progressive aligned than Gen Z in the last election, with a -16 point shift between Biden and Harris. A lot of outlets are reporting a large Gen Z specific move to the right as they added 8 Million more voters to the pool in 2024, although take that claim with a grain of salt because the only data I could find on it was the 18-44 age group.

[Gen-Z] the generation loosely being defined as people born around 1997 to 2012.
