I’ve heard stats presented that way all my life, usually in terms of “immigrants”, “Jews”, “Catholics” , etc. You want to look up some stats? Look at voter turnout amongst young people. Or the population of the United States vs available land, 1960’s to present. Or look up post war economic booms and how they affect things.
Here we are, with decades of low voter turnout, a waning economy that is completely gamed not by an age group but by the wealthy, and too many people to allow the old ways of “growth” to work anymore.
And somehow amidst that we’ve decided that part of our very identity is the range of years in which we were born. Who decided what a boomer or millennial or gen X/Z/Alpha is? Was it a consensus amongst social scientists? Or was it something more useful for marketing strategy?
I reject your comment outright. Everything you said was perpetuated (or not) by the entirety of people living in that/this time. We are all part of this world and othering a group of people, i.e. scapegoating others does jackshit for solving our problems.
Ah yes, we're all just one collective! Of course! No one has any defining traits that would make them vote one way or another. Were all a hivemind without any characteristics and its the young peoples fault for having no faith in the current government system that was completely fucking destroyed by Regan's policies. It is the fault of the people who were not even born yet and have no wealth, living paycheck to paycheck. It is the fault of the single mother with 3 jobs thay she couldn't vote. It is the fault of the 2nd generational immigrant that they got deported to a county they've never set foot in. It is definitely not the older generations fault for not standing up to this shit while it was being set up, its the people who werent even a semen in their daddy's ballsacks fault
but actually were all one group and have no differences, so its really no ones fault. this was inevitable and could not have been prevented.
I said none of that. And the older generation “not standing up to this shit”? Quite a few did. And quite a few in previous generations did as well.
And quite a few people from whatever “generation” you fancy yourself a member also work for a better world.
