    You’re right and I’m glad you’re pointing this out. That said…

    Boomers are still selfish assholes who won’t get out of the way and release their positions in government office and owning multiple properties that they bought for a song while voting against housing initiatives that would “change the character” of their neighborhoods while young people face increasing costs of living. The rich, plus the selfish.

      spinning the generational conflict to prevent class war

      Sorry, I don’t judge entire groups based on the behavior of a few. I know, it’s weird, but I didn’t do it when it was hip to judge people by skin tone and I’m not doing it now that it’s all the rage to use the super-duper scientific method of what year someone was born.

        You know what, you’re right. There are classes of people who can’t control their outcomes (skin color, sexual orientation, gender identity), and then there are those who can’t control what decade they were born. That’s exactly the same thing.

        Boomers can’t help stealing from their offspring because they were born at a time where that was wired-in. There’s nothing they can do to improve their behavior. I’m so glad you corrected me for being a fucking bigot. All this time that I thought I was criticizing greed and power has actually been a misguided adventure into bigotry.

        Do boomers who are white hold most of the wealth? Doesn’t matter! They were born in a time when you couldn’t control that. What the fuck. What a shit response. Defend people who lord over you or pretend to fight back as you lord over us. You’re exposed. Shut up. Go away.
