    Two questions: 1) Who you gonna blame when they’re all dead and 2) What are other, apparently superior “generations”, en masse, doing to realize a better world?

      1. Them, still, because they are the ones who did the things.

      This is like asking if I am still going to be blaming Japan for bombing Pearl Harbor, Andrew Jackson for the Trail of Tears.

      1. Well for example, Gen Z and Millenials have been, collectively, much more concerned about climate change and trying to have their voices heard, but the Boomers have also destroyed both the US Political System/Government and also Economy, and you… can’t really socially act from a position of little to no social power.

      Your framing of this question does two things:

      It misses the point that climate change is a time sensitive issue with a window for being able to address it. That window is largely passed now, now we are in the stage of ‘how do we mitigate/survive this’ instead of ‘how do we prevent this’.

      And this is also victim blaming. Hey I burned down your house, why are you homeless, what are YOU doing to solve YOUR problem?
