The problem is not the boomers per se. The problem, as it has been since the beginning of time, is the rich. Capitalism is what has fucked us over and the boomers were raised on capitalist propaganda and happened to grow up in a historically unique time when the socialist progress of the New Deal meant that infrastructure was solid, pollution hadn't found its way home yet for most, the Capitalists were in need of workers due to the loss of manpower from WWII, the U.S. was in a position to exploit and manipulate foreign countries, so the white working class didn't feel as much of a pinch as workers elsewhere in the world and their sheer numbers gave them enough political power to fully believe the illusion that the democratic elements of the poltiical system were working.
Police weren't hyper-militarized, news reporting still generally reported factually and truthfully (the asshole Reagan dismantled the FCC fairness doctrine, so that pure propaganda outlets like Fox News could exist and fuck up your grandparent's mins) and a lot of boomers have been carefully isolated from all the shit the rest of us have to endure by the politicians that rely on them for votes.

Easton Edwards
used to be only wealthy people or exceptional people went to college. Then the government/banking industry figured out how to rake in tons of cash charging interest on non-defaultable student loans. Cost of tuition skyrockets while value of degree falls 'cuz now any idiot can go to college, "just take out a loan"
>get gender studies degree >waste entire life as a barista because "fuck the man" >demand open borders and welfare for immigrants >can't work out why rich people aren't paying me to exist >lose job to a Mexican who works twice as hard without whining
Keep blaming other people for your shitty choices. That'll totally fix it... Moron.
