I don’t know. I’m in the older set, and I totally get why younger people are so pissed, not just because of the financial structure of social security, but because seniors are politically grubby ladder-pulling bastards.
Yeah, but I do think that its worth remembering that just because anger is valid doesnt mean what you’re angry at is the most productive thing to act angrily towards
As a young person I do feel bitter towards older generations at times. But that doesnt make it the right target. It works to divide BECAUSE its a legitimate hurt
My point isnt that you shouldn’t be angry, its that thats not the most useful thing to *act* angry towards. Just because it makes sense to be angry about doesnt mean that thats a productive avenue towards change
Thats not a place to direct anger that makes anything better. The feeling is justified, but it is also a very effective distraction
Start with the bigger problems and work your way down. Get rid of Billionaires, get rid of the conservative propoganda networks they have been funding and the un-brainwashing will be possible.

You’d be surprised how many things I can be angry at simultaneously.
Boomers don’t get a free pass because there’s something bigger for me to be angry at.

I am almost 70. I do not think like other boomers. What I do not like is being generalized.
*Not all boomers.
Why do you feel like I’m talking about you specifically? Obviously this sort of statement has 0 applicability on an individual level.
