  Blaming older generations instead of the powerful and wealthy is dumb and counterproductive.

    somebody voted GOP to have Trump in charge and paying companies to NOT block wind farms, somebody keeps buying giant trucks and voting to rip up bike lanes etc

    The older generation ceded our power to the wealthy. They went gleefully along with tax policy designed to move money to the top, anti union legislation, increasing costs of education, stymieing environmental regulation, not pursuing and enforcing trust busting measures, offshoring industry, etc , etc. They weren’t the driving force, you could claim they were tricked, but it was their own short sighted greed and often bigotry that allowed them to go along with it. And they by and large continue to support all that same shit.

      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.

      Did they actually? Or are you just saying that?

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

    Generational warfare is a way to obscure class war, and a way to disconnect people from being inspired by the HISTORY of class warfare.

    The 8 hour day? Unions? The wellfare system (such as it is), maybe Grandma was on the picket lines for some of that too.

    Environmentalists from the prior generations aren’t real. Nobody has ever done anything about climate change ever before and they’re not doing anything now and they never will.

    That’s why the best way to fight climate change is to divide into generational cohorts and scream “Your Fault!” at everyone older.

  Yes they embraced the revolutionary technology of cars, which enabled post-WW2 suburbia to boom, which established the economic base of the rest of industry progress to what we have now.

  …so do we blame them? Because if you blame them, the look forwards to Gen Alpha blaming you for letting AI take hold.

    This mentality makes sense in 1952, but with benefit of hindsight and all the consequences, is pretty obtuse to say today.
