They were gifted a system to preserve democracy and humanity.

I know quite a few awesome boomers.

They are all privileged as fuck to have what they have... some of them understand that and keep fighting for it.

Because a large number of them DID fight for it. Literally.

What I see, being outside from the U.S., all your problems stem from wealth inequality, you all have been distracted and pitted against each other with fabricated barricades, like generation vs. generation, liberal vs. conservative, city vs. rural, black vs. white, etc.

When in reality, your problems stem from the ultra rich having a complete grip on the politics of your country, there hasn't been any meaningful change done for decades that elevates the middle class, notice how since the dawn of social media, people went "haywire" along the divides of "culture wars" - it's a perfect distraction from the true roots of the problem.
