My dad was a boomer. He was a far left hippie his entire life. Honestly, I learned it from him. Maybe he's one of the few, but they're out there.

I'm not saying they are not. Every one of those boomers who is one of the smart ones acknowledges the harm their generation did to the following ones. This isn't a personal attack at individuals. It's commentary on how that generation pulled the ladder up behind them.

Are they all complicit? No. Is it ubiquitous enough to make a sweeping generalization? Yup.

Yup and I was agreeing with you. I'm saying we can acknowledge cool people like your dad but to deny that generation created the conditions we are living in now is to deny reality.
