And to those MPs, I have only one thing to say, “ok, boomer.”

    So it is ageist to criticize boomers but not ageist to criticize gen z and younger? Sounds pretty ageist to me.

    And we are supposed to feel sorry some boomers, and older, never bothered to learn how to use a computer or smart phone properly? Fuck off you disingenuous pieces of shit.

    There is a very small faction of billionaires siphoning wealth away from the world, truly hoarding it such that it is unused and unproductive. The role of the political class is to facilitate this and distract the general population away from it by setting naturally allied groups against each other. Divide and conquer is as old as humankind and we still fall for it every time.

    Y’know the interesting thing is, I’ve never had a poor old person talk condescendingly to me about economic prospects. The elderly widow taking public transit, counting their coupons, and desperately trying to stretch their dead husband’s pension check has never lectured me about pulling myself up by my boot-straps. Similarly, I’ve never called any of these people a Boomer pejoratively. To me, the stereotype of a Boomer has very little to do with age, and everything to do with socioeconomic status, and I absolutely will keep insulting the Boomer fucks that pulled the ladder up behind them.
