I don't know where you got your years but they tend to vary slightly depending on your source. The whole named generation thing started (best I can tell) with readers digest. There have been several other publications to jump on the bandwagon since then and not all of them agree with the periods. I am never sure which generation I am in since I fall on a border between gens and different publications have my birth year listed as either one of two.
Me too. I am Gen X and 52.
I'm a border one too. I never felt attached to the millennials (1980-1985, depending on source), but always felt attached to Gen X.
Either way, the Silent Generation really fucked things up.
Not really. Started before the silent generation. Or does everything that happened in the mid to late 1800s (civil war and Lincoln assassination) and early 1900s, which set everything up today, not matter? What's important about the temperance movement? What did that turn into? Hint, suffrage and marxist feminism. What about 1911, 1912, 1913?
This is why the generational divide canard is constantly played by Jews and repeated by jews and the indoctrinated alike. There's no truth to it and it only exists to divide and sow anger amongst ourselves.
Every generation has failed us. Every generation has swallowed lies and propaganda. There is no generation without fault.
Oh I agree with everything you say. If you only look at generations as the problem, then you go all the way back to the colonial days. You can never really stop because every generation has swallowed the lies and propaganda to some extent.
Some of our more immediate problems though, are in place because of the Greatest (Civil Rights Act), and Silent (1965 Immigration Act and Great Society). The Boomers grew up shielded from their parents and grandparents decisions, and Gen X is the first to see reality for what it is thanks to those three generations decisions taking a few decades to kick in and show how bad those policies are. Add in juden word games (we can't end this because it isn't working, that would be *ist...you need to throw more money at it to fix it, and put in these checks and balances (which always benefit the politicians and their donors)) and things get worse exponentially. Hell, the Boomers and Silent are still shielded from their bad decisions and don't want to hear that they've been duped. I had been telling my parents for a decade that they were duped and they finally acknowledged they and their peers really screwed things up politically in 2016.

You speak like a bitchy woman who is passive aggressive.
The most important thing to understand is that generational labels are completely arbitrary. Ultimately it doesn't matter where you fall. They can only describe a shared experience but never a common behavior or trait.
This confusion and associated purposeful conflation is used for propaganda to sow generational division where none actually exists.
Shared experience: the silent generation saw the great depression. True.
Shared behavior: the silent generation sold their children because of the great depression. False. Some did but it wasn't a generational behavior.
