Yeah, randomly shitting on individuals of older generations is just not productive.
Yes, the society as a whole benefitted from better economic conditions, borrowed from tomorrow, and pulled the ladders up behind them.... but we don't know that user. Plenty of people in "the good times" did not have it good.
For all they know, that particular GenX or Boomer was destitute and desperate.
For all they know, that particular elder was in the protests and on the picket lines and fighting this shit every step of the way.
We need solidarity. Every generation, every age, everyone and anyone who is willing. Don't blame the individuals for the groups.
