    It’s a misdirection to blame a generation for being entirely at fault. Every generation in history has inherited the consequences of their predecessors mistakes, and the changes they implement will screw up something for their descendants.

    Boomers, Gen X, millenials, Gen Z are all comprised of a mix of demographics - each has a mix of entitled and destructive assholes and inspiring thinkers. The same decade that brought us Donald Trump also brought us James Hansen.

    It is the will of the richest class to keep the masses poor enough and powerless enough that they cannot revolt effectively, yet rich enough that they don’t see a clear benefit to overthrowing their overlords. The individualism that our society has bred means that when everyone is for themselves, they cannot risk what little they have acquired.-
