    Yeah it’s not like boomers showed up for anti-war marches, anti-racism marches, environmental marches… no, nothing like that, we just said “fuck you entitled brats”. This manufactured hate is as ignorant as criticizing young people for not having kids, or thinking they all sit around eating avocado toast.

      Not my parents. They’re consuming everything they can and are explicit that they don’t worry about after them.

      Born in 1947 and 1952.

        Same, 46 and 50. And all of their siblings that are still alive. Zero plans to leave a cent of their gains to their families.

        And yet none of the boomers I know think or act like that. Whaddya know - people are individuals and aren’t defined by the public perception of their generation. It’s almost like people deserve for you to treat them as the individuals they are instead of regurgitating memes about them.
