    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

      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.

        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.
