@lain Agreed. The boomers fell for some harmful "boomer myths" like housing prices always going up, like a university diploma being the key to success, like working too hard for retirement and then just pure leisure after retiring.

I honestly think the worst things they did for millennials was the snow-plow parenting and the pitying that started in 2008. It created a learned helplessness in millennials which is hard to un-learn.

The really poisonous thing is the other-ing (like they're a class in class-struggle) and attribution of malice (again, class struggle proxy) to the boomers. This I think is that 70% you're talking about.

It's remarkably similar to the Marxist stuff, like "eat the rich, but Bernie Sanders is cool", where Bernie Sanders is rich, but he's familiar. The same way the other-ing doesn't stick to one's parents. However, if some kind of hypothetical revolution happened against boomers, yeah, our parents would get the guillotine. It's the whole "this group is evil! ...present company excluded" thing.
