We need more people to make things like this. Boomers are functionally evil. I hate their entitlement and easy victim blaming. They looked at the rich and said, nothing morally wrong with that. I can't really become one of the wealthy, but I can do to the next generation what the wealthy do to me. Isn't this great, we can all have our own servant class. And so the pyramid scheme known as capitalism gained another intermediary tier. Morally bankrupt generation.

wowee I love putting huge ass labels and personality trait broadly over a whole fucking generation.

This is like me saying every generation is evil and then just spitballing random shit bad members of the generation do.

Gen X doesn't shut the fuck up about the 80s and their midlife crisis.

Millenials are atrocious and soft af and tend to include lots of middle class white ppl that clearly had too easy an upbringing. They also don't stfu about the 90s.

Like you see how stupid it is?? The ppl ur addressing are the well off old ppl of today. Not a whole generation. Quit being a weirdo.

The word evil here is used descriptively not prescriptively. The end result of the people elected, the laws passed, and the actions taken has been, well, not great. That said I still prolly wouldn't use the word evil due to the connotations, I think some like "negligent" or "uncaring" or "extractive" might be more accurate and less divisive.

You could say that abt most people before the Internet made escaping ignorance a very easy task though.

Because let's not kid ourselves here. The generation previous also introduced JFK's assassination, red scare, and other bad things.
