billionaires are at fault ... while we're all fighting, they keep getting richer

    Yes, I agree. The billionaire class=the epstein class.

    I think that the epstein class is on another tier, but they are similar. The richest are obviously billionaires, but the most powerful (because of money or politics) tend to fall into the epstein class. Someone like many US senators etc. do not have billions, but they have a lot of power that makes them (as well as having enough money) in the the epstein class, being effectively untouchable by the courts because they can delay the courts long enough for it to not matter.

    As a Millennial, I blame the Epstien Class AND the Boomers.

    Then you have succumbed to propaganda from the Epstein class.

    How so? These things are not mutually exclusive. As a whole and independent from the Epstien Class, Boomers are selfish assholes.

    I hate to break it to you, but every generation is full of selfish assholes. That's the way it be.

    The Epstein class and their supporters which, by and large, includes boomers.

    It included boomers, yes. And it included every other age group by fucking millions. 30 million women voted for him, too, in spite of all the rape allegations. I don’t get Lemmy’s obsession with blaming every last thing on boomers. The boomers are dying off in droves but the problems persist. Why? Because every so called generation has enough complicity to keep this shit going.

    Do you think the epstein class only includes MAGA? Bill Clinton is in the files, in a hot tub with victims.

    MAGA are lower class losers who didn’t have the money to hang out with Epstein. But congratulations, you found a rare Democrat in the files, amongst the predominantly wealthy conservative pieces of shit.

    As I predicted, they switched to blaming Millenials. Eventually, it will be Gen Z's turn.

    What exactly was I supposed to do to stop all this? I'm no fortunate son.

    You vote matters, and therefor how people voted and continue to vote matters. Honestly, Gen Z is on my Shitlist for voting Trump back in.

    blaming millennials

    Lol, what was our crime? Being unable to change things?

    Lol, what was our crime? Being unable to change things?

    Every single generation has the same crime, unable to change things. Most of the people in power politically and/or are billionaires, are gen x or younger.

    Again, it's a class war, not a generational war.

    Everyone forgets about Gen X... so let's blame them instead!

    Funny, I was screaming this same thing 15+ years ago when every single reddit post was blaming boomers for everything and that millenials are the greatest generation.

  • source
  • [–] 5 points 2 months ago

    Its the Epstein class's fault and the boomer are complicit, and the millennials are being fooled by both.

  • source
  • [–] 5 points 2 months ago

    I can blame both, with more weighting to the billionaires of course. Only thing I suppose is that blaming boomers is generalising too much. Its a subset of boomers who vote to protect their exponentially increasing property values

    Let's blame the Reich people, k?

    The thing that is our fault is that we haven't fixed things yet

    With all that money we earned with those wages that stagnated and positions that were never freed up. Got it.

    Or we could have voted for all those millennial politicians, for the past 20 years, to push forward the policies we have been asking for.

    Put me on the wall and shoot me all you like. Just make sure I'm surrounded by rich old people also getting shot. At this point, the fact the olds won't volunteer to die or die doing something about it is plenty of reason to blame them also.

    Future generations, the environment, and the guillotine factoy need the time and resources they will waste keeping my wrinkled ass alive more than they need the microseconds of sleep and comfort that killing me "should" cost them.

    It’s a misdirection to blame a generation for being entirely at fault. Every generation in history has inherited the consequences of their predecessors mistakes, and the changes they implement will screw up something for their descendants.

    Boomers, Gen X, millenials, Gen Z are all comprised of a mix of demographics - each has a mix of entitled and destructive assholes and inspiring thinkers. The same decade that brought us Donald Trump also brought us James Hansen.

    It is the will of the richest class to keep the masses poor enough and powerless enough that they cannot revolt effectively, yet rich enough that they don’t see a clear benefit to overthrowing their overlords. The individualism that our society has bred means that when everyone is for themselves, they cannot risk what little they have acquired.-
