I think you may have fallen into the same trap you believe they have: generalizing about huge masses of people who have the smallest, most basic commonality among them. Perhaps your best option is to let go of the defensiveness and simply point that out to whomever condemns you, no matter what their age.

As long as we listen to the mainstream media every day we'll never question anything.

Right now there are people living in tent cities, like refugees, in the United States. Yet we're told this is better than a guaranteed home, job, health care, education and pension under communism.

There are many who lament the passing of Communist East Germany. I don't endorse all forms of communism but it's clear we are being taught to hate Communism and Socialism by our rulers. And the main question to ask is 'why?'

Part of the reason we have President Dumbass is becuase young people didn't bother to vote or got pissy becuase Bernie didn't get the nomination and didn't vote. So they fucked themselves. There are consequences for inaction.

I've seen a lot of generation-blaming, and it really does need to stop. From my perspective, it seems like people were bitching about millennials as a group, so then I started seeing gripes about baby boomers. Maybe it didn't start that way.

But there are people who just want someone to blame, and it's easy to cast a wide net on an entire generation. I've seen people calling millennials the Tide pod generation even though a very small portion actually stuffed Tide pods in their mouths. Likewise, I've seen people refer to baby boomers as racists even though many of those baby boomers marched alongside Dr. King.

It's a cheap and lazy way to bitch about problems, and I get tired of seeing it happen to both groups.

Meh. Boomer hate.
Every generation blames the prior.
Nothing new.
