  It’s the continued support and denial instead of contrition that makes this meme fine for me. Don’t want to be targeted? Make it right.

  And Gen-Z helped elect Trump in 2024.

  Saying that problems are because if a certain group of people is just dumb analysis. It is always about broader systems of power. Capitalism has it’s ways to bend democracy to it’s will.

  The ruling class wants you to blame the elderly for the problems in the world. Because then you aren’t focused on the real issues.

  If we really wanna fix problems instead of fighting each other, we need to really stop bigotry in all it’s forms and start becoming class conscious.

    So the real issue here arent the thoughts and actions of Boomers and Gen X even though we are here because of those thoughts and actions?

  The older generation ceded our power to the wealthy.

  Did they actually? Or are you just saying that?

  it was their own short sighted greed and often bigotry that allowed them to go along with it

  The Americans who believe their democracy is real are as bad as the ones who believe climate change is fake.

    Oh, okay- so you’re just cowards who spent half a century allowing it because you didn’t want to risk your relative comfort.

      Literally the same thing the next two generations are still doing?

        Did I suggest they were any better?

        I mean… they’re not. But fuck you for that disingenuous little sleight of hand where “they didn’t fight fascism hard enough” somehow becomes equivalent to “we voted for the fascists,” and also fuck you for making me defend their cowardly asses.

      I’m still not sure who this “you” is.

  So by your nonsensical logic the current young generation is at fault for ceding more power than have been ceded in a long time to fascist oligarchs in the US.

  It is plain bullshit nonsense. And you have gobbled up all of the ageism propaganda created by the oligarch propagandeers to make you completely forget the actual issue of class war.

  Older generations also elected FDR four times and created the only social safety nets we have, created the EPA, eliminated smog, cleaned up our rivers, created the endangered species list, etc.

  I’m getting really sick of how easily some of you fall for these obvious divide and conquer tactics. Wake the fuck up and actually think critically for once. Climate change is far more of a class issue than generational one.

    People are fooled so fucking easily but I bet you think you’re so much smarter than magats.

    Please, tell me more about these people who seem to think they’re the smartest person in the room.

    Boomers did not elect FDR, if they had continued the politics of their parents we would be much better off. There is plenty of blame to go around. The true villains are the oligarchs and politicians who do/did their bidding but that does not absolve the foot soldiers.
