@AnneW @AkomoCombine @Render: I meant culturally, not literally, as in trained them for this very day. I should've clairified.
The Boomers were often civil rights leaders but largely a generation after a lot of the heavy lifting was done by people born before the end of WW2.
The Boomers as a generation took credit for ending a war, though their part in it, while not small, was not sole.
The Boomers were spoiled, by and large, as a generation, and then when they got the helm, they did...
@AnneW @AkomoCombine @Render: ...exactly what they excoriated their parents' and grandparents' generations for doing... and then some. They kinda left a lot of GenX to seed while they spent, spent, spent, and refused to allow the new younger generations to have any kind of a say.
The Boomers coddled and coddled their grandkids and never let up on the "We stopped the war!" and "We won Civil Rights for Blacks and Women!", and now many kids today are comically ignorant, easily manipulable,...
@AnneW @AkomoCombine @Render: ...and vacuously self-righteous. As a generation, they're splintered worse than a jammed door at Chuck Norris' house because before they can even discuss things, they have to go through the various checklists to determine who's the most oppressed, the most poor, the most traumatized, who has privilege, who has more of a right to speak on certain topics, who has to STFU and just do what the others tell them, etc. *Then* they can go after the Not-We.
