    Hang on, because I don’t think anyone is(I should say) most people are actually doing that. When we speak of “Boomers” we mean the generation, and the individuals who espouse those prototypical generational thought processes. If I meet someone in that age group, I don’t go “Aw, fuck you for trickle down economics” because I don’t blame all Boomers on a personal level. But recognizing where they fucked up, and why their ideologies have created an existential crisis for future generations, that’s fair game.

      Stop with your nuance. You have to either personally punch every homeless Vietnam veteran in the face or absolve Reagan voters of 100% of the damage they did (and continue to do). It’s one or the other.

      Ok? A majority of the top level comments on this post are saying that they are unsympathetic towards the homelessness problem because they are boomers, or even insinuating that they deserve it.
