Boomer trash are always there to grift
They got such eggshells egos too.
I shouldn't still need to point this out but most boomers are poor. They also have a lot of medical issues and are mistreated by the health system and aged care. They are also mentally abused by cynical political strategists that target their fears and drive them half crazy.
If you haven't noticed the wealth divide is increasing and the rich are getting further away from regular people. That is happening despite rich boomers dying. Their wealth is being inherited and their replacements are just as mean.
Anytime you see a divisive comment like old.people, immigrants, trans are at fault question the source and if it is worth repeating. Its possible a lot of such comments originate in enemies of free societies. Community is important. It's the foundation for a fair and peaceful society. We can't have community while we have this mindset of excluding the other.
There are also reasonably credible opinions that all of the things we divide ourselves on are deliberately propagated to distract us from the real power imbalance - all of us versus the incredibly wealthy. All of us against the corporations.
Generation anger especially is nuts. The older generation will die, their supposed enormous wealth will go to the generation below, and so on. Boomers had fewer children than the generation before, X have had even fewer. Generational wealth should be concentrating
I am not going to dispute this but top 10% are essentially all boomers and they sick owner dick with joy while selling out everyone.
The poor ones are retarded sure but they wanted for this shit.
Frankly, boomers are not allies and they need to be held accountable for their role here.
Any boomer with half a brain knows all of this anyway. I doubt I am hurting that persons feelings.
Also boomer is now mental state as many gen x sold out and rich boomer crotch fruit larp it. Quit being poor
You might as well start calling 20 year olds boomers because it is a class war and always has been a class war and always will be a class war and age is irrelevant. Any name that obscures that fact only helps perpetuate the divisions. Ageists are in the same category as racists, sexists and all other bigots. They contribute nothing to debate but name calling. Deal with the hate or direct it where it is deserved. Call these health insurance CEOs what they are. They are parasitic hoarders of wealth who profit from the misery of others. In fair societies we provide healthcare for all, young and old without these scum. Only a society that has its shit together can do something like that and you can't get your shit together if all you do is call people names.
