Solid points that I agree with, but the constant pitting of boomers against the younger generations seems like an obvious divide and conquer strategy. Make the plebs fight among themselves instead of fighting those in power. Additionally the goal is to make the young people demand more government handouts to level the playing field, thereby perpetuating the unfairness and selfishness that will plague future generations.
As usual the old way of doing things was better, where we didn't have social security and people had children to look after them in old age and saved their money to hire maids and give an inheritance to their children who looked after them. But government intervention and technology loosened family bonds while promoting selfishness and short term thinking. Traditional values need to be regained if we are to solve the problem.
Both my parents abandoned the religions they were raised in, what does that have to do with either technology or the government?
Do you parents have health insurance? That is a recent technology that used to be covered by charity, ie the church. If they didn't have, now state sponsored, healthcare, they may have stuck around.
Were they raised in government schools and instructed 10hrs a day to doubt their religion and hate their ancestors? Government.
Were they constantly bombarded by propaganda encouraging a hedonistic lifestyle and liberalism? Technology.
Were they members of an insular community comprised of families that traced their lineage hundreds of generations in the same geographic location or were they the products of suburbs, globalism, and integration? Technology AND government.
