    I couldn’t agree more. This generational conflict shit and forcing people into arbitrary generations is the ageist component of the culture war that distracts from reality.

    I rail against it and even people who are accused of these idiotic stereotypes by virtue of being ‘millenials’ still defend it and reinforce it. People really bought this propaganda, I’m surprised they’re “retiring” it.

        The Boomer generation across the world threw down in Leftist revolutionary and anti-colonial struggle, too, and many of them are not as well-off as they age either.

        You’re not wrong, but it isn’t purely a generational question. Younger generations are also already terribly lib, grind mindset oriented, and could very well get reactionary as it ages. Once all Boomers leave us, our problems won’t magically be resolved and we won’t have global Communism. Some of us may just not have parents around to witness the rise of the new elite class, that’s it.
