Honestly, there’s plenty of reasons to make fun of boomers/millennial/genZ but the reality is each generation has Republican and Democrat voters.
I’m not gonna suggest that Democrats always have the best interests of working class people in mind - but their camp does contain progressives, which is something that Republicans lack entirely.
At the end of the day, all our problems can be traced to income inequality that is largely pushed by Republicans (and a huge dose of “trusted media” espousing outright lies).
You can absolutely have a business oriented economy whose government protects it’s people from abusive and predatory businesses practices while providing great education and healthcare for free.
It’s something we’d all benefit from (even the wealthy, but it’d be less profitable) but something we’ll never have because every generation has Republican voters who show up 100% of the time - and Democrat voters who barely show up, can’t agree on anything, and require emotional inspiration to even begin to participate in politics.
In fact, now that we’re literally watching Nazis take over the Republican party - anyone from any generation who votes Republican now is far worse than anyone who voted R in the past before the middle class was destroyed.
The Republican party is evolving into its final form of purest facisim, something that was plausibly deniable 10 years ago.
Bottom line is we’re at a point in society where feelings and opinions are the only reality for a lot of people. It will be the death of democracy, and they’ll go to their graves in chains they put on themselves believing they made the right choice, because why would anyone ever choose to feel regret or acknowledge the consequences of their own actions?

Millennials were called the participation trophy generation. At that time we were children. I would like to point out that SOMEONE was giving them to us. We didn’t ask for them, SOMEONE felt the need to give them to us.
Boomers, you can’t give us trophies and then complain that we got them.

I’m a millennial too. You’re right, there were definitely people saying we suck, aren’t hard workers, it’s our own fault for not doing well financially, etc. I’m just saying that wasn’t all the boomers in the same way all millennials aren’t giving gen z shit. But those sorts of claims drive engagement, from upset people in both demographics, so that’s why the narrative keeps popping up.
That show was such a joy to watch.
You called?
Hmm sensing similarities to that other thread where the gen z person was saying millennials always complain about them. What if some predictable percentage of people regardless of the time they were born are assholes?

I think Gen X usually just gets lumped in with boomers
You need to find a better way to say the invisible generation.
Well now that I don’t think about it, was X really ever a generation? Or was it really just a product of some really weird marketing? I feel like 75 years from now, “Gen X” is gonna wind up on a watchmojo video of “The Top 10 Generations That Never Actually Existed”
From GenX onwards they’re all marketing terms.
Normally generations were only distinguished after some kind of geo political event, like first world war, or when the birth rate was exceptionally high.
Now we pre-name generations so marketing teams can segment people into target groups.
I can’t tell if that’s good Janet or evil Janet, but either way she’s right
