@timbray good piece. I think the one thing we do have to accept as Boomers, or for me Gen X, is that we got a lot of support from institutions before neoliberalism hollowed them out.
We shouldn't stand for the ageism, but we should understand that we got lucky with our timing*. Especially wrt climate change.
- this applies more to cishet white middle class men etc
@otfrom @timbray yep, nobody cares about the *age* of the self-entitled boomers, it's the *attitude* by those who believe they are self-made bootstrappers but who actually received massive government benefits.
My dad's a boomer, he's lovely! And he's well aware he got advantages by being born decades earlier than me. :)
