Fighting Oligopoly is not a "boomer complaint" they want you to say that because it legitimizes their hostile tactics and takeover.
They say fight the oligarchy because they want to maintain the oppressive capitalist system that got us in this position to begin with. Capitalism in crisis produces fascism. We go through these cycles and it's always the liberals that paved the way. Remember, they tell you what you want to hear and be careful what you wish for. I think they call it pacification. They are the masters at the sofist Uno card. Unfortunately, the likes of Bernie and AOC are really just sheep dogs.
And we all know a Boomer would complain for the oligopoly.
Falling into the boomer and whole generational strife fallacy is basically falling for oligarchic propaganda. Intergenerational strife makes people forget that the actual enemy is the oligarchy.
The only Boomers I talk these days are old hippies and they would disagree.
Don't generalize old people. Its irritating and aggravates our sciatica.
Well sadly if the only boomers left alive were old hippies that would be tolerable.
Old people overwhelmingly support hate and right wing governments, and we won't generalize. This is the generation who sold off our planet for a quick profit, and doomed our species.
I encourage you to get to work on the systemic issues outside your control so that in 50 years you won't feel guilty. By the numbers, Gen Z men are supporting right ring autocrats so I ponder if ignorance is a better excuse than apathy.
I'm a Xoomer and my knees just clicked.
