Some of the boomers were the hippies that made a big stink about ‘Nam. And the environment. Much as I think the boomer generation were spoiled kids that spent their lives grabbing money from generations before and after them, a significant part was not and will never be, and imho that goes for any generation. It’s amazing how many young people voted for Trump or Afd, for example.

When I say the it's the boomers fault I mostly mean the ones in power. Ofc the avg boomer isn't malicious, but selling their house (to a corp) they got for pennies so they can throw money into a slot machine instead of leaving it for family is a huge issue I've seen from boomers in my area.

Yet your use of language regurgitates deliberately constructed ageism propaganda. So perhaps be more mindful of how you use it in the future, so as not to uncritically repeat their propaganda and deflect from actual meaningful class war?

They vote for these people because of (social) media manipulation - you get one guess who the people behind this manipulation are.
