@Vee@musician.social I'm a Boomer who feels that Boomers are a gigantic part of the problem. We can discuss separately, if you like. Your disagreement sounds just like the "Not all men!" faux argument that so many, rightly, ridicule @jik@federate.social

    @JohnLAlford@mstdn.social @jik@federate.social I object to the term solely because it such a broad brush to paint with. Suddenly everyone in my age group is tasked with being responsible for what clearly has been engineered by those with wealth and power over the last 30 odd years. It sure wasn't me. 1/5

    @JohnLAlford@mstdn.social @jik@federate.social Do you honestly think I had any control over the political actions of those I voted for? Any control over the various K street entities and the lobbying they did after my vote had been counted and that person sworn in? Because you sure do make it sound like I did. 2/5

    @JohnLAlford@mstdn.social @jik@federate.social It’s complete farcical nonsense. The power in every situation rested not with the people, it rested with those we entrusted and they were bought and sold. Because no K street entity plays only one side of the street. 3/5

    @JohnLAlford@mstdn.social @jik@federate.social This falsehood of dragging the “Me Too”movement into this clearly states to me you think sloganeering and using it is somehow useful. This says more about you than me. Using an issue as a bus to throw someone under when that issue is clearly a leftist issue is suspect at best. Also, not the topic at hand. 4/5

    @JohnLAlford@mstdn.social @jik@federate.social This is a discussion about dividing people by class along age lines and associating blame based on a random date range promoted by marketing people so they could have an easier time targeting ad placement. Do you see the inherent problem with this? Ya’ know lumping a class of people together and calling/inferring/implying they are bad? Because using that term does exactly that. 5/5
