    Generational infighting among the working class only serves the wealthy and corporations who are who we should actually be angry at.

    In a decade you’ll see memes blaming your generation for not doing anything and can you actually point to anything you’ve done besides creating a meme blaming boomers?

        I minimize plastics use, recycle anything that can be, reuse/renew whenever possible, minimize all use of products dangerous to the environment/ecosystems, educate myself on the issues and candidates and then vote in every election, volunteer for political campaigns, I educate my children about the environment (including what we do to minimize our impact and why it’s a problem at all) and politics (including the importance of voting, how to research candidates and issues). Yes, there is more I could do, but I think I do a pretty good amount–far above the average. My kids won’t blame me, even if the memes blame my generation.

        I wouldn’t go out of my way to make older generations feel bad because that isn’t solving anything, but I would educate them so that maybe their votes will be better going forward.

      I would feel more responsibility if the boomers could release their deathgrip on the government.

        Their primary demographic is millionaires, not boomers. You could change them all tomorrow for millennials millionaires and still have a shitty government.
