The older generation ceded our power to the wealthy.

Did they actually? Or are you just saying that?

it was their own short sighted greed and often bigotry that allowed them to go along with it

Did we take any kind of vote on our actual energy policy? Did we collectively decide to build highways over railways or big trucks over dense housing blocks at some point?

Who decided to tear up the streetcars?

The Americans who believe their democracy is real are as bad as the ones who believe climate change is fake.

    Oh, okay- so you’re just cowards who spent half a century allowing it because you didn’t want to risk your relative comfort.

    you didn’t want to risk your relative comfort

    I'm still not sure who this "you" is.

    Who do you think invented the Solar Panel? Who has been the most rapid adopters? Who built the wind farms? Who did the research that tells us Climate Change is even happening?

    Literally the same thing the next two generations are still doing?

    Did I suggest they were any better?

    I mean… they’re not. But fuck you for that disingenuous little sleight of hand where “they didn’t fight fascism hard enough” somehow becomes equivalent to “we voted for the fascists,” and also fuck you for making me defend their cowardly asses.

    The generation wars are bullshit.

    But we cant deny one generation has moved america to where it is and they still refuse to admit theyre in the driver's seat, are too drunk to drive, and insist only they can do it
