I’m GenX. I was pissed off about how much boomers took so much and left so little for us. Millenials got it even worse. Gen Z worse again. The concentration of capital in fewer and fewer hands is a looming disaster
I don’t think it’s the boomers fault but rather the filthy rich, they are the ones who changed the rules so that they can take from us even more than from our parents/grand parents. Made it harder to own stuff and impossible to fight them and improve our lives so we stay occupied in their businesses trying to survive.
I read a comment yesterday where someone said “You remember how after we had all those occupy wall-street protests, and the media started heavily focusing on race issues?”
Every so often, someone comes along and reminds me to stop looking at trees and take in the whole forest, and I’m like “Ah, fuck. The forest is on fire.”
They didn’t have to swallow and blindly vote for the propaganda they were immersed in, and at any time they could have collectively decided it was the wrong direction to be going.
Instead, they willfully and gladly kept voting for the same conservative policies and didn’t make the connection as to why their lives and their kids’ lives were getting worse. That was a choice.
