  The rich and powerful are making us hate each other to distract us of the real problems of the world

    Yes, but boomers are a chunk of the reason that the rich and powerful continue to be able to grasp and maintain power.

    If boomers ceased to exist tomorrow and elections were held, I think there’d be a good swing left. Not a total swing, but substantial.

      The machine would stop having elections at that point, or just come up with more convolutions to try and undermine the sentiments within the movement of any emerging “public consciousness”.

      The revolution Must Not be Televised (or on the internet, lol)

      Good thing it won’t be too long until it’s over.

        Disagree, the machine is 99% boomers to begin with. It would cease to exist.

      boomers are a chunk of the reason that the rich and powerful continue to be able to grasp and maintain power.

      Boomers are only 28% of the US voters. Explain why their chunk is more responsible and the younger 72%.

    while that is true, it is also true that a majority of boomers I know are worth this feeling of contempt and loathing

      Of the boomers I know

      • one neighbor was a spiteful asshole, the other not
      • my ex’s father is a fairly liberal vet
      • my exs mother is not just liberal but is still at her age motivated by how much she can help people working at social services
      • my mom is the most liberal in our family and frequently argues with my conservative brother

    I hate them too but boomers can fuck off as well. Logan’s run was onto something.

  Not that I disagree, but 90 would be silent generation.

    Then you should disagree. Saying all boomers are entitled traitors is like saying all millennials squander their income on avocado toast.
