In the context of the post that was yet another “it’s the boomers’ fault”, generalization is just fine. Nuance and Lemmy don’t get along very well. But sure, “it’s not all ___ people” works. Just don’t phrase it that way….

Do you not see the irony of generalizing Lemmy while trying to flatten all generalizations as being the same?

    Yes! That’s what I’m saying! You’re literally doing the same thing, do you not realize that?
    
    Everyone generalizes, there’s nothing particularly insightful or useful about that observation. It’s trite.

    I assure you, from the perspective of the boomer blamers, everything I said is not trite. It might illuminating or it might be infuriating. But it’s something they need to hear.
