Doesn't matter. If a system's purpose is what it does, a people's priorities are what they invest in, in aggregate. Boomers hold outsize wealth and have steered America's economic and political ship for most of the lives of the younger generations. So the current crop of Stupid Things are mostly Stupid Boomer Things (or else they wouldn't exist, as there would be no money or political will to sustain them).
Refusing to take responsibility isn't a good look, either. So is derailing with respectability gripes. Let's solve the problem at hand.
>Refusing to take responsibility isn't a good look, either
You want me to take responsibility for how other people in my age group vote (not that I am a boomer, I'm not)? That's your argument?
Thanks but no thanks for this ridiculous comment thread.
>You want me to take responsibility for how other people in my age group vote.
Yes. Or, rather, you already are responsible, commensurate with your level of wealth/social influence.
That's nonsense. What age group are you in? Young people voted in record numbers for fascists last time around in the US. If you're young, are you going to take responsibility for them voting for fascists? What about people in the same age group in other countries? Do you take responsibility for how they vote too since they are in the same age range? Your ageism argument is ridiculous.
