Calling somebody a boomer used to be fun hazing but sometime in last 2 years, a thought virus manifested, I'm sure on Twitter and reddit, where young adults who werent happy caught on to the false idea that many of their peers blamed their parents and their grandparents. Many people did blame their parents generation but it wasn't a popular view. But the echo chambers and discussion manipulation methods amplified that message and so whatever they imagined was outside of their control, was the fault of the previous generation, as was evident by the collective complaining online about "boomers." Boomers are geezers. They are practically ineffectual when it comes to the current body politic. But that doesn't stop the complainers looking for a scapegoat to blame anybody but themselves. Whether they were 18 or 48, it was an internet meme to make it their parents fault. So much so that at no age does it ever become acceptable to take responsibility for their own life. In not long from now, 18 year olds will start blaming the Mellenials who will still be blaming the dead. The victimhood thought virus works like this: At no age are you ever responsible to be in control of your life and happiness. In a way, boomers are at fault for accidentally teaching Gen X and Millenials to raise a bunch of whiney, ineffectual, limp wristed, complainers. A sad number of young adults actually imagine voting in the ballot box is the beginning and end of their personal power.
