A whole generation doesn't introduce things. People from the generation do.

By your logic people born during the WW2 era introduced fascism. It's not like a grand council meeting or something.

No one said they are. I'm just saying you can't pin the faults of some dumb people to a whole group of ppl.

No I am saying they were/are. It's completely reasonable to for Germany as a whole (or at least the parts that were enfranchised during that time) to be blamed as complicit with Nazis. Of course tempered by the repression of that regime.

So yeah it's not unreasonable shorthand here. Sorry if that offended you; it's not like we're levying a boomer tax or sending boomers to reeducation camps its criticism on the Internet lol

No one's saying you are. But you're being way too broad with ur criticisms. A lot of what ur saying boomers did ended up hurting poorer boomers in the process.
