    It’s that Boomers have participated in, and been behind the wheel, of most of the stupid, enabling moments of the 20th century. They built this world and got pissed when inequality they built to lock up money for themselves wasn’t sustainable.

    Then they blame everyone else because they have no self-reflection due to lead levels in their blood causing cognitive impairment and aggressive behavior. My favorite was a meme all over facebook saying “Back in my day we didn’t have plastic soda bottles…” Yeah, who TF changed it, genius? YOU ALL. Sure wasn’t me running all that stuff when I was 6 years old.

      Again, you are conflating age for wealth. Lots of boomers did no such thing, and were as poor and powerless as you are. The powers that be got you good with the generational strife propaganda, so you don’t focus on the actual class war problem.

        Most of Boomers did said such thing. How tf you think Trump got in power, magic? You ever check out what Facebook looks like? You are confused as the people you are screeching about.

      Yeah we didn’t go to the trophy companies at 6 years old and demand they start making participation trophies, Deborah. Our generation didn’t start that shit.
