I like reading this sub, but I've never participated before this post. I feel compelled to address the “boomers suck” attitude I see here too often. Boomers don't suck. Assholes suck.
I'm retired, in my late sixties. Friends in my age group, the people I know, the people I've hung with since elementary and high school, the people I've met on the road and lived with on communes, the people I've worked with (education) are for the most part pretty cool. We volunteer. We still support workers and unions and we tip very well. We remember our fights years ago in support of farmworkers and other oppressed groups. We're online now and we counter and argue with the MAGA-types and their weird conspiracy theories (although that is proving fruitless). And do you know who we're arguing with? They aren't grouped by age. Along with people in our age group, there are reactionaries in their twenties, thirties, and forties, ex-students and their parents, and even our own children.
Sure there are many in my age group who complain about everything, who vote for idiots – that can come with wealth and increasing age. I'm lucky that my circle doesn't include many of those people. But in my area, being an asshole isn't limited to age. They are everywhere.
My point is that focusing on age – on boomers, millennials, or whatever – is divisive. There will always be younger assholes to take the place of my generation's assholes. No matter our ages, we have and always will have mutual adversaries. We're all in this together and it's been that way for a long, long time.
