This is sorta the same defense as “#NotAll(X)”. Because, like, yeah, obviously there are plenty of older progressives. But… The issue at hand here is one of power. Older generations have more wealth on average and hold more conservative views on average. It’s sorta on them to use their positions to make lives easier on those younger and less fortunate than themselves, and unfortunately for the rest of us, they are less likely to do so. And I say this with a boomer grandma doing her fucking best protesting outside ICE facilities.
To pretend there isn’t an age bias is silly. To pretend there is only an age bias is also silly. But it does exist, interrelated to wealth and power disparities that everyone is suffering from. So, you know, fuck boomers. If you don’t like hearing that, then really reflect on what that says about you.
In closing, yeah, the problem won’t simply die away, but I ain’t gonna pretend it doesn’t help, even if it isn’t every boomer’s fault.
The point that you are glossing over and dismissing as a minor one is Central to my theme: the problem is not going to die itself away.
Most of the people riding off boomers assume that all the youngsters are progressives. They are not.
Nowhere did I say boomers are equally as progressive as any other group. There’s a reason I didn’t say that. There’s a reason I said the other things that I said.
Around 44% of Boomers consider themselves conservative.
Around 33% of young adults do.
Go ahead and wait around while the fascists only increase the propaganda if you think that’ll help, but in my humble opinion, that only falls into their trap. They get us to wait while they keep fighting tooth and nail.

I don’t think everyone is saying the youth are all progressives, either. I think the only people saying that are conservatives.
The problem will get better with people dying of old age, though. You can’t really deny that.

I don’t think I said anyone should wait, though.
And young people aren’t doing enough to push back either, so fuck youth too.
True, but I think if we’re going off pure numbers, fuck men. Like, they are doing the least outta all these groups.
