I'm sure the "justifiable" reasons were totally organic how you came to them in the past and not part of the same training being done, just in a different decade.
Boomers are basically adult children themselves, just manifested less severely than millennials. They grew up in a Swiss watch economy designed to be the best in the world and just assumed that things would keep going fine no matter how much waste and malevolence happened under their watch.
A lot of them still think like that. I'm amazed every time a conservative boomer says Trump lost the last election or that he's "on Twitter too much." And these are the same people that love to tell younger people that they "don't know how the world works."
Very good, you've believed something you were told that made sense after you were told it and assimilated it into your framework for why things are like they are, and are now reacting defensively to the notion that you were taught that idea for a reason instead of being super smart.
Something being true, partially or fully, doesn't discount that it was knowledge given to you for a purpose.
Every single one of the 65 million boomers currently alive are responsible for the current state of the world, not the small cabal of power brokers whose successors believe the exact same shut.
Duh.
Baby boomers were called the "Me Generation" decades ago. As a cohort, Boomers have always been this way. So it doesn't surprise me in the least that they're still selfish now that they're old farts.
