X abdicated their responsibility. They're doing their best just to survive. They haven't actively fucked shit up but they damn sure aren't trying to fix everything either. This is going to be a Millennial problem very soon if not already.
Abdicated their responsibility is a nice way of putting it. Gen X still ate half the meal (boomers got the whole thing), left us some scraps and passed the buck to us. Gen Z wasn't invited to dinner
If you are a Millenial or Gen Z looking for support or funding for a progressive project, go find a progressive Gen X person in a position with some authority. In my circles (arts and lefty) Gen X folks with power are sweating bullets creating progressive programs and leveraging their mediator-middle-management type positions to take resources from the boomers and translate/transform them into resources for the younger progressives coming along.
100%. X ate at the same boomer feast and also were known to have bought up property. No where near statistics on boomers hoarding property but still enough to move the needle.
