That article was written by boomers, about boomers, and for boomers a decade ago, long before boomer bashing was en vogue. I agree it’s a leftist outlook, but it just reflects the frivolity the younger generations have come to associate with that entire generation. I was just browsing images and came upon it, but it gave me a laugh.
Guys like you get a bad rap because of the more vocal elements of your generation and a lot of the stereotype pushed by Hollywood during your generation and by your generation. Also because of the incompetent and corrupt leaders who have emerged from your generation who will all die in office. And also the fact that the the entire culture of the West was gleefully abandoned and pissed on by many, many boomers, resulting in the rapid decay and looming collapse of western civilization as a whole during the tenure of your generation on this earth. Many boomers also had nothing to do with the corruption of their peers, and are wrongfully lumped in with their reputation. There isn’t anything you can do to change it. Just let it go.
You don’t have to defend your whole generation, we are only accountable for what we can control. I don’t defend Millennials because they’re even worse. I just don’t get my nose pushed out of joint when someone lambasts lazy, retarded and corrupt Millennials because the criticism is warranted.
I just don't buy into *any* generational blame. People are complex Individuals of extremely varying natures and they exist in every generation.
Additionally, western society has been bombarded with propaganda for at least a couple of generations. Some people can shrug it off. Most are manipulated by it to one degree or another.
The Boomers had their propaganda and were affected by it. But it's nothing compared to what's being funneled into people's heads today. As I mentioned earlier, the counter culture of the 60s pales in comparison to mainstream culture today.
So who it to blame?
It's not a generational problem.
