Is it wrong to highlight that society in the west has gotten worse.
Sure you can’t blame boomers for just being born at the right time, but you can certainly blame them from pulling up the ladder and voting against anything that will affect them.
Take near me in the UK, plenty of home owners protesting against adding more houses along the green belt as it might devalue their properties. Utterly selfish behaviour, yet there are some home owners in these areas that support more houses because they care about more people than just themselves.
If you think giving more people a better chance at life is a threat to your existence then you’re a shitty person.
No, it's definitely not wrong to highlight societal problems, but boomers didn't pull up any ladder, son. Billionaires and business in general did that. Normal people just went to work, came home, lived our lives. What percent of ANY generation do you think has the influence to personally affect society? I've been voting progressive ever since I was old enough to vote. I was never invited to any of the meetings where boomers sat down and decided to fuck over future generations, and no I don't think giving more people a better chance at life is a threat to my existence. I also think it's weak to put stupid words in people's mouths to justify stereotyping them. Have a nice day.
