    Boomers started out progressive then sold out. They project this onto everyone else as if it’s the natural order of things.

      Same with the whole “social experiment” thing they accuse everyone of.

      In fact, their childhoods were the biggest social experiment ever. Suburbs, nuclear families with mothers who needed uppers to do everything expected of them, easy access to free and cheap education and loans, etc. They act like it’s the way things always were, and that it’s the only way things should ever be.

      It was all a fluke of the post war economy. Not normal, not sustainable, and trying to appease their fantasy is killing the world.
