I’ve heard stats presented that way all my life, usually in terms of “immigrants”, “Jews”, “Catholics” , etc. You want to look up some stats? Look at voter turnout amongst young people. Or the population of the United States vs available land, 1960’s to present. Or look up post war economic booms and how they affect things.

Here we are, with decades of low voter turnout, a waning economy that is completely gamed not by an age group but by the wealthy, and too many people to allow the old ways of “growth” to work anymore.

And somehow amidst that we’ve decided that part of our very identity is the range of years in which we were born. Who decided what a boomer or millennial or gen X/Z/Alpha is? Was it a consensus amongst social scientists? Or was it something more useful for marketing strategy?

I reject your comment outright. Everything you said was perpetuated (or not) by the entirety of people living in that/this time. We are all part of this world and othering a group of people, i.e. scapegoating others does jackshit for solving our problems.

lol old people hate. Because blaming any other group for the world’s problems is very bad…. It’s as if the boomer generation was obligated to create utopia; not any generation previous or since. Just them. And when the last of them have died off, the youngins will scapegoat whoever is old in that time. So Millennials, you might want to get your excuses ready; you didn’t leave the world a better place for them…
