Nowhere in that statement did I call out Boomers specifically. This is a cross generational problem. I call out bullshit culture war voters which are, overwhelmingly, older folks. But they’re not completely to blame. There are plenty of younger working age people that fall for this same brain dead bullshit. But that’s what it is, is brain dead bullshit.
I’ve got plenty of real issues with all sorts of real shit, that’s just one of them.
I didn’t mean this in such a way as to call you out personally. Sorry if it seemed that way. I’m just sick and fucking tired of human rights being constantly stripped back for everyone and these fucking fools still just going along with it all happy and joyful because someone else is going to get killed to keep their retirement fund happy. With all due respect, of which exactly none is due, fuck that.
This isn’t an age issue. I don’t care how old or young anyone is. I care about them actively speeding us all into hell, collectively, because people think the DOW average is more important than the lives and livelihoods of our citizens.
Eh, I don’t think you need to apologize for anything. I am being a grumpy, cranky old asshole after all.
And you’re right, anyway. No group of people are truly homogenous. Not all Boomers are bad in the same way that not all Democrats are good. I lose sight of that sometimes and I notice that others do too. It is in our human nature to group and categorize people and things and then to make sweeping assumptions about those groups. I try not to fall into that trap when I can notice it, but I’m just as fallible as the next guy.

Money is the root of all evil.
Fair enough. It was my interpretation. Maybe the phrasing.
Anyway. It seems we are on the same page.
Apologies for getting it wrong.
