Comment on Evidence
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 days agoI’ve never heard anyone say that about climate change, really.
Those that agree with facts know it’s a thing and really would love to see it go, but what can we do? We’re not politicians, we’re not rich, we’re not powerful.
We’re separating our plastics and paper and what not, we try to avoid the car, we use public transportation, bicycles… But what are we supposed to do? We cannot fix this, er cannot stop this.
Just saying “boomers don’t care” is a bullshit statement. In not a boomer, but I know enough of them. Just saying that it’s all the boomers fault is easy enough but it won’t solve anything.
Start at least blaming politicians and the rich. They’re the ones that got us here, they’re the ones that keep is here
Listen, I don’t disagree with you regarding the class divide, but this is my own experience with plenty members of the older generation, including my own parents.
I’m not saying they all do, nor do I really think it’s a starting point for dealing with the issue either, but that’s what this meme is about. Again, it’s just my own experience and I’m sorry that it seems to upset you.
Maybe it’s a bit strong to say they don’t care. Most I know, they do care but it’s low on the priority list, after “the economy” which affects their savings held up in stocks…

I dunno, most boomers I know, including my parents, do not really care much and think it’s just the next generation’s problem and, just like themselves, every generation has their own problems 🤷♀️
I also blame the rich and politicians first and foremost but there is in fact a little blame to go around to all of us too, including me, but also totally boomers too lol
