Are you saying that Billy Joel lied to me?! 😱
“Bless yall’s hearts” - a message from baby boomers to later gens
We should all not vote! That’ll show em!
They vote…
Ah yes, I too like to pretend people said things they didn’t say and then get mad at them for it.
Better yet, vote for the boomer!
Nah fuck that orange wannabe tyrant.
You forgot to put a gas tank in her hands.
And them telling the millennials that the fire would have been out by now if it weren’t for their laziness.
She threw it on the fire along with the book of lit matches.
Accurate
Accurate insofar as no other generations after them did very much about it until the last ten years when everything started to go to shit, aye
The previous generations actively sabotage effective measures. Prosecuting protesters, celebrating consumption, ridiculing the educated. My guidance counselors looked at me like I had two heads when I said I wanted to pursue a science education motivated by climate change over a “career”. What career could I have if society isn’t certain because of constantly shifting weather patterns, climate refugees, and the threat of resource wars? A little bit of any one of these things can throw the whole system off.
No other generations had enough influence or power until the last few years. Gen X was always massively outnumbered, and Millennials quite often sided with boomers with some sort of weird Stockholm syndrome. Now with Millennials seemingly cured of their Stockholm syndrome, Gen X still existing, and Gen Z being adults, there are finally enough people to out-vote the boomers.

wat
You’re right; Gen X has a healthy dose of responsibility too.
So are we going to get another party in power and remove the corrupt establishment?
Or join the boomers in complacency?
To add, this was my specific jab at my early Gen X mother who was made homeless by the 2008 housing crash. Instead of learning anything, she has elected to buy an island.
Like a well-adjusted adult.

If she went from being homeless to being able to afford buying an island, that seems pretty well adjusted to me…
No one buying shore property today is well adjusted.
There’s plenty of islands available in lakes that won’t be drowned by the rising ocean.
Honestly, genXers got brainwashed into thinking that recycling their plastics and and extra 3 miles to the gallon is enough.
just use some essential oils sweety
there is tons of babyboomers who have been fighting for the climate since the late 60s. ignorance and consumerism goes through all generations. dived and concour is a propaganda tactic
“This is fine [since I’m not in the burning building].”
Except we are
We all are, but baby boomers are half out the exit on the ground floor, standing around drinking coffee and chatting and telling us not to worry as we are all on the 78th floor, some of us on the 165th.
