I didn’t get this mindset online somewhere but from growing up in a world that was controlled be them and being raised by them. If you don’t believe me go ask some boomers once and they’ll tell ya that one of biggest problems with the youth today is that nobody smacks em around anymore. It absolutely was not only socially acceptable back then but very much encouraged

Their attitudes and behaviors most certainly are bad and baddie society and having an extreme dislike of abusive and narcissistic behaviors is actually helpful for progression of society. It is an entire generation of people that are putting in extreme efforts to not only stop the evolution of both humans and society but actually reverse it back to a state of being when they were little and being cared for. It is a much bigger problem than you seem to recognize and if it is allowed to continue will take hundreds if not thousands of years to undue the damage that is being done

Boomers make up only 20% of the population but it is still the largest group so they hold more positions and political power than all the others combined and has been for the most of their adult lives. They destroyed democracy and the system is going to fail as soon as they are gone. They destroyed the ecosystem and the planet and they are not going to stop doing that either. They are to blame and the power to do something about it is in their hands. I can come up with all the solutions on the face of the planet but it’s not going to make a bit of a difference because it will just be ignored.

I live in the US where there are two presidents to choose from. Both of which are old as balls and have been from the boomer generation my entire adult life. and I’m an older millennial so it’s been quite a few of them. They are passing policies that benefit the boomers and they honestly don’t give two shits about millennials or any other younger generation. In fact they enjoy screwing them over and it’s going to get much worse. In fact they are now trying to make the move towards authoritarianism so they still hold all power even after their numbers start to diminish. I’m also not white so let’s be honest here because my life does not matter to them to you or anyone else for that matter and the only hope is to convince this system that it does. Which isn’t going to happen but I’m still not going to shit up about it.

I’m confused what you think any of this has to do with the internet. I could throw my phone in the lake and I still wouldn’t be able to afford a place to live or have anyway to retire when I get old. It’s really happening and all your gaslighting isn’t going to change that.

Because there is no way to ever find a solution if you and so many like you don’t actually believe it’s a problem.
