> I spend my "political advocacy" bucks on trying to convince older generations around me just how much they and their peers pulled the ladder up behind them.
This generation war thing seems strange. Like, do you accuse the people of wrong things they did personally? Or do you make them responsible for other people's decisions? What's exactly the point? Instill a feel of collective guilt?
Seems like setting ourselves up for the same kind of harsh critique from the coming generations. I doubt they will look upon us (the current young people) kindly, and "boomers did it" likely won't work as an explanation for why we still indulge ourselves in material luxury, airline travel etc.
