Stop creating posts conflating valid criticisms with “Bashing”

When people criticize “Boomers” they're criticizing the mindset, voting patterns and economic controls associated with that group. Not LITERALLY ALL BOOMERS. You can be a 21 year old boomer if you're fighting universal healthcare, fighting unions, and denying that there's anything wrong with the country.

Nobody is criticizing people purely based on their age, this is a pretty obvious strawman, I'm not sure why it's a daily thing that people keep posting stuff like “My mom is that age and she's not like that!”.

These posts do nothing but detract and distract. They shouldn't be entertained anymore.
