    This is how the billionaires are winning, they manipulate folks into being angry at everyone but THEM. “Boomers” didn’t buy $70k houses, your grandparents did.

    Meamwhile, Zuckerberg is laughing his ass off while fortifying his Kauai ranch estate.

      “Boomers” are the grandparents to most of social media posters these days. Statistically the internet stays centered at about teenager to 20 year old being the peak of the normal distribution of users. That’s the Baby Boomers’ grandchildren. Great grandchildren even.

      Just pointing that out, but otherwise I agree. They’re all angry at a strawman “Boomer”. That strawman in reality is demographically a small portion of the world population who are very rich. The majority of baby boomers got fucked in their own way by the rich.

      You guys are all distracted into fighting each other.

      Furthermore, I’m continuously baffled at how or why people fawn over the anecdotes about those who talk about their parents having a good life straight out of college and now owning multi-million dollar homes. How can you not realize these anecdotes are from rich kids of rich boomers. You guys are so hungry to eat the rich??? That’s them right there. What are you praising and fawning over them for. Start eating.

      All part of the distraction. The lesser than billionaire rich hiding in plain sight, running distraction for the richest of the rich.
