    boomers are selfish as hell

    I don’t like this kind of statement.
    It’s far too general to be either true or false. Lots of zoomers and millenials are too.

      Consider most of lemmy.

      Solipsistic. Ignorant. Smug. Reactionary.

      And if I was a politician, they’d be my #1 demographic.

      Oh come on. What’s the point of having a Boogeyman you can blame all problems on if you can’t vilify an entire generation. And then complain when other people do the same about yours.

      They are the most likely to have multiple homes. They are the most likely to vote to pull up the ladders behind them. They are the most complicit. Just because later generations also have shit members doesn’t excuse 95% of boomers from being a cohort fucking the rest of us.

        They are the most likely to have started that local city drum circle a few decades ago, the farmers market and/or co-op, they are the ones who fought for civil rights and tried to bring a better world to their children…there are shitty people all over the place some are just being born and shitty people who are a 100 years old but one thing I can guarantee is there is no completely shitt generation fucking everyone else over unless you completely ignore the good people did do.
