 > as a whole they were a bad generation, perhaps one the worst to yet exist in American life

what hateful nonsense.

completely meaningless generalization, simply stirring up animosity in 1 group against another. 
 Why are you so triggered by such a broad innocuous statement? 
 negatively generalizing about a group of people based on a characteristic they can't change..

..what could possibly go wrong?? 😂  
 Ageism isn’t a thing imo. That’s some new age woke shit. 
 But what age is the new age? 
 After 2009 is the real age of aquarius 
 Fuck Boomers. 

The only question is if we write them out of the history books in retaliation to the destruction they’ve facilitated, or if we make them an example of what no generation should ever be again.

Either way, history will not be kind to them. 
 I suspect that there will be many more boomer style generations. I think it’s an inevitable part of the cycle of humanity. Not sure it can be stopped even if we shame them etc… 
 If history and humanity is cyclical then yes, there will be more Boomer equivalents in future.

They’re not writing history though, whoever comes out on top of this fourth turning is.

Millennials and Zoomers will decide their place in history so we should decide whether to erase them out of spite or make them the cautionary tale: @stacksatsio 
 It was an unnatural event

seriously, you should look out for who is making you hate others.  if you hate you can be controlled.  just saying

 Of course it’s not all of them, not every single Boomer.

It’s enough of them to generalise and make the point valid.

If you can’t generalise concepts like this then you’re not able to make interesting enough points for me to want you in my feed. Buh-bye! 
 You might as well say, ok not every single black person is a criminal but its enough of them to generalize and make the point valid - right? 
 You could say that generally they were screwed by the 6102 and the early days of fiat.
