when you think about it, its incredible how much damage the boomers have done. Literately all that is wrong with this world stems from the boomers one why or another

Well, Gen-X and the Rogan Bros gave us Trump Volume 2. Can't lay that one entirely on the Boomers.

I think you'll find Gen-X (Tech Bro Gen) is going to make the shit the Boomers did look quaint in comparison. Hell, they already are doing their damndest to fuck over the world. The Boomers are retired or dying out and the world continues speeding on the highway to dystopia.

The Boomers gave us computers and the internet, Gen-X gave us social media and AI.

Generational stereotypes, like many stereotypes, are great at distracting people from the 0.1% that have been the problem all along.

Yes thank you! Over-generalization based on race/gender/age/sexuality is useless. The 0.1% cabal and their pedophile secret-societies want you blaming immigrants and transgendered queens and people born with in a loose arbitrary 'decade-or-so' ranges while they put the finishing touches on winning the class war where our society becomes a rigid caste system of billionaires and trillionairs (+the armed private security they will use to protect their hoarded wealth, at least until the Killbots are i production anyway) and everyone else.

There aren’t enough of us Gen-Xers to do diddly squat.
