billionaires are at fault ... while we're all fighting, they keep getting richer

Everyone forgets about Gen X... so let's blame them instead!

As I predicted, they switched to blaming Millenials. Eventually, it will be Gen Z's turn. What exactly was I supposed to do to stop all this? I'm no fortunate son.

It’s a misdirection to blame a generation for being entirely at fault. Every generation in history has inherited the consequences of their predecessors mistakes, and the changes they implement will screw up something for their descendants. Boomers, Gen X, millenials, Gen Z are _all_ comprised of a mix of demographics - each has a mix of entitled and destructive assholes and inspiring thinkers. The same decade that brought us Donald Trump also brought us James Hansen. It is the will of the richest class to keep the masses poor enough and powerless enough that they cannot revolt effectively, yet rich enough that they don’t see a clear benefit to overthrowing their overlords. The individualism that our society has bred means that when everyone is for themselves, they cannot risk what little they have acquired.-

Put me on the wall and shoot me all you like. Just make sure I'm surrounded by rich old people also getting shot. At this point, the fact the olds won't volunteer to die or die doing something about it is plenty of reason to blame them also. Future generations, the environment, and the guillotine factoy need the time and resources they will waste keeping my wrinkled ass alive more than they need the microseconds of sleep and comfort that killing me "should" cost them.

The Epstein class and their supporters which, by and large, includes boomers.

You vote matters, and therefor how people voted and continue to vote matters. Honestly, Gen Z is on my Shitlist for voting Trump back in.

>also of being helicopter parents bubble-wrapping their kids from reality. Thats a serious issue; its not uncommon to see kids who literally don't know how to interact without their parents because their parents don't let them socialize without hovering directly over.

Feels weird to cut it off before the millennium.

I've got a hell of a lot more in common with Gen X than millennials. 1980 is way too early.

If you'd actually read it, you'd see that it's used by the entire Joint Center for Housing Studies.

I'm sorry to break it to you but Gen Z saw the largest shift towards conservatives in the youth demographic ever recorded. 7% more women 18-29 voted for Trump in 2024 than in 2020, and 15% more men 18-29. The youth voter turnout also decreased by as much as 10%. [LINK TO SOURCE](https://now.tufts.edu/2024/11/12/young-voters-shifted-toward-trump-still-favored-harris-overall)

Do you think the epstein class only includes MAGA? Bill Clinton is in the files, in a hot tub with victims.

right?! the epstein class can't do shit without the votes and support from the boomers.

Then you have succumbed to propaganda from the Epstein class.

I hate to break it to you, but every generation is full of selfish assholes. That's the way it be.

@nik282000@lemmy.ca 2026-05-01 03:34
With all that money we earned with those wages that stagnated and positions that were never freed up. Got it. Or we could have voted for all those millennial politicians, for the past 20 years, to push forward the policies we have been asking for.

> Lol, what was our crime? Being unable to change things? Every single generation has the same crime, unable to change things. Most of the people in power politically and/or are billionaires, are gen x or younger. Again, it's a class war, not a generational war.

As a Millennial, I blame the Epstien Class AND the Boomers.
-
@Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 2026-05-02 16:37
Funny, I was screaming this same thing 15+ years ago when every single reddit post was blaming boomers for everything and that millenials are the greatest generation.
-
@SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 2026-05-02 03:21
Its the Epstein class's fault and the boomer are complicit, and the millennials are being fooled by both.

The thing that is our fault is that we haven't fixed things yet
