Gen X: give their kids awards for everything because they grew up latch key kids. Secretly suspect their kids won’t have social security. Hoping the beanie baby collection will mature before their own retirement.

Millennials: can’t afford kids, houses, or new cars.

Gen Z: don’t want make things any worse.

    Generational infighting only benefits the wealthy and powerful. The people responsible for our predicament are the politicos and billionaires who are destroying our biosphere.

    Then why aren't the rest of the boomers helping take down the 100 responsible boomer politicians?

    Oh yeah, BadEmpanada is not a controversial streamer living off click bait revenue at all... sure "bruh". I'm sure Sergei Brin is happy to have the uploads... I know I watch youtube regularly (with an ad blocker of course).

    Like I said, have fun with the Slacktivism and generational rage baiting so the wealthy classes get ignored. That said, I definitely would have preferred Bernie got in rather than Trump, he was quite clear when he said that criticism of Israel is not Anti-Semitic (a step up from most politicians). But yeah, now I see we're talking celebrities? What's your point? To make the perfect the enemy of the good?

    This is another lazy attack from you that boils down to "Bernie wasn't perfect enough"... great, I'm sure your purity politics will save the world. Hey you should stop talking to me, because I'm not perfect either - therefore I must be your enemy right?

    They had it so good, the thought of improving things never occurred to them. The thought of safeguarding the good things also didn't occur to them, though.

    Scientists were warning about climate change in the 1800s and everyone still actively chose to ignore them.

    Earlier guesses (which is all they were at the time) calculated several centuries before it would become a problem. That was just based on coal burning at the time and making some population increase estimates. They were far off and couldn't see other advancements that made it exponentially faster and worse. But yes, we had a good idea it would happen, either way.

    Most people of all gens keep doing the same unhealthy indoctrination, stay in dualistic thinking rather than grow and actualize. They numb blindly to the algorithms. Bad policies produce bad results and doubling down makes it worse, not better. The artificial scarcity forced on us, by those with the wealth and power, and superstitions keeps the unhealthy societies going. Too many voters pick the unhealthy platform or don't show up for the better one. It's not perfect but we make more progress with Dems and less suffering around the world. If this wasn't obvious before choosing the rapist for a second time, I hope more people understand it now, care enough about humanity and do something positive going forward.
