    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.
