The vitriol is all stupid. Both generations are clueless for the most part about their place in a national machine with a third of a billion people in it.
Boomers said dumb shit to young people. Young people said dumb shit back. Everyone attributed every dumb saying to the whole group to get internet points. Now bots do it to sow dissent. It's like saying Westboro Baptists and Jenny McCarthy represent all American opinions. It's so stupid it's sad we have to point it out.
Uniting around bigger goals means agreeing to better policies. You can't point a finger at anyone enough to revolutionize their generation. All these tirades are not only pointless, they actively pit the people who need to unite against each other.
The only group that works for is the billionaires, who actually have influence in the world's direction, individually.
