The ruling class owned and controlled media has been peddling intergenerational conflict for decades, and millenials remember it well, all of the news articles about how millenials are causing all of society’s problems.
We need to realize that it was always a psyop to divide us. From boomers to zoomers, the working class must stand together in solidarity against the elite pedophile billionaire cabal running the planet.
We need to come together but in terms of convincing the Baby Boomers, it’s a server uphill battle that’ll get worse as they age. They had so much environmental lead that as they age it’s seeping out form their bones. I don’t know if there’s more recent studies on it but it’s not NOT having an effect.
There are already boomers who are on our side. Yeah, the majority have been sucking down propaganda all their lives and are probably a lost cause, but pushing anti-boomer messaging doesn’t do anything to help them realize the problems in society are caused by the ruling class, it just makes them feel attacked and defensive, and people like that are more likely to withdraw and become more extreme and set in their ways.
Our messaging should be consistently anti-ruling class and focused on cost of living and that sort of thing. Conservative/reactionary boomers are just useful idiots playing the role of both victim and perpetrator, they just do what they’re told and repeat propaganda fed to them.
People write those articles because the readers want to believe it. They write the article. They get positive reviews or, since most news moved to the internet, clicks. As people read such articles, they come to believe in it and will be interested in more such articles in the future.
The people who do the research and polling on generational opinions also are more likely to continue when it brings them attention.
It’s simple human nature and some activities getting rewarded and therefore are repeated. It requires no secret cabal nor centralized control. It’s driven by the invisible hand and societal evolution.
Don’t worry, you’ll be able to censor stuff like that if your guys get power.
I think this is a bit of a misunderstanding, I don’t believe that there’s some centralized control or secret society going on, but the problem is the “invisible hand” operates to the benefit of those with power and wealth, and never against them.
It’s well known that the press has to keep special interest groups happy in return for access, for example, and that is one of the reasons that Israel is spared from critique in the mainstream press. It’s a far more complex system than just some shadowy group deciding what to cover, but rather a system of perverse incentives that all works to keep the powerful in power and to make the wealthy wealthier.
It doesn’t really matter why the media has/does push intergenerational warfare, ultimately - just that they do, and that benefits the ruling class to the detriment of working class solidarity.
Not sure who “you guys” is referring to, but I am absolutely against censorship and all kinds of authoritarianism and coercion.

I made some parody comments about the ruling class in some other threads, and I thought this response was to one of those.
Do you disagree? If so, why? Curious to hear your thoughts.
