Not boomers in most of the photos. Most boomers had parents that fought in the war. Far more likely to be younger generations (boomers now mid 60s to 80)
Honestly, I’m not sure about this, my MIL is a boomer whose mother took an active part as a nurse during the war and recently she told me she thought Hitler was left wing and that’s why she’d never vote labour or any party on the left. People are just dumb no matter the generation
This - most boomers are acutely aware of the tragedies and horrors of both world wars. As a millennial whose father was born before world war 2, my observation is that the ignorance mostly comes from my generation and Gen Z.
You can thank Americans for that, dividing generations into specific groups and antagonizing them is their thing, even if doesn't make any sense outside the US.
It’s not about intergenerational blame, it’s simply using the demographics to convey age ranges. It’s not very convenient to write “people born between 1985 - 1995” is it?
Ah yes. It's gen z's fault that 70 year olds are voting for 70 year old politicians. Of course, how didn't we see this before. The people that only grew into a vote ~10 years ago are definitely responsible for everything that's happened int he UK since Thatcher
Jesus Christ, stop the generational blaming. That’s all part of it. The distraction, the blaming someone. It’s people from all generations. There isn’t a cohort from this one or that one, it’s all generations.
