Blaming boomers generally for climate change is honestly mega cope. It has always been companies’ fault and they love seeing us blame each other instead of them. It’s not boomers and silent gens fault they’re victims of the most effective propaganda ever.

Being a victim of propaganda just makes them sympathetic, it doesn’t keep them from being complicit when people keep trying to convince them to help

Idk man, I think it’s cope that keeps us from seeing that capitalism is to blame. It was never about individual actions

No I don’t disagree, but it’s hard to consider them blameless when they’re capitalism’s strongest soldiers and will refuse to entertain the idea that maybe it’s a flawed system that’s actively killing the planet for the rest of us

It’s because they have been propagandized since birth. They’re no different than cultists

Like racism and shit, sure that’s much more direct, but boomers were born into a top-down society with limited choices and the only visible alternative was a CIA-influenced nothingburger movement of proto-yuppies playing poor in the Bay
