54 here and very tuned in. I think the disconnect is more a matter of wealth and socioeconomic status than age.
As a millennial I get your anger, but the guy you're responding to is right. An average working boomer had no more say in the policies enacted than you or I and the majority will be flat broke by the time they die, outlook isn't much better for Gen X either. The establishment has done a wonderful job running us around and keeping us focused on the wrong fights. They've done it so well that even saying it sounds like a conspiracy theory to me when I know it to be true.
The tax rates for the ultra wealthy need to be increased to post WW2 levels, we need to get corporate money out of politics and the news. The people in power hold nearly all the cards and have convinced everyone the cards we hold are useless or immoral. The truth is we need better ways to organize and connect with local like-minded people to pool resources, hinder competition and bring the oligarchs down.
