No war but the class war

Sure, but the bourgeoisie have convinced a large portion of the would-be proletariat to side with them. So insomuch as the average ‘soldier’ in this war is more likely to encounter a coal-rolling boomer than Elon Musk, there is more to this than pure class politics.

Until class traitors (boomers) spend decades voting against your future interests.
The class war is the priority, but it’s ok to be mad at assholes pulling up the ladder behind them.

When I visit my father I would walk with his next door neighbor. This guy never understood the whole idea of social agreements. What I mean by that is his daughter went to high school for free off the taxes of somebody else but now when he’s paying taxes and doesn’t have his daughter in school he bitches and moans that he has to pay and he shouldn’t have to. I’m like dude someone paid for your daughter so it’s your responsibility to pay for someone else’s daughter. Someone helped you so it’s a social agreement to help them. He doesn’t get it, it’s like you must be really stupid and greedy or something.

Considering the complete lack of correlation between issues that voters care about and the policies that politicians actually enact, I don’t think that merely voting makes boomers blameworthy.
Studies have repeatedly shown that politicians in both parties do not act in accordance with what their voters want, so clearly voting does not affect policy.
