The true forgotten generation. But Gen X are eating popcorn while the rest are having generation war.
Edit: lol at people who are downvoting and taking my comment seriously. It’s a jab at Gen X not being mentioned at all in mainstream discourse of generation fight amongst boomers, millenials and zoomers. I don’t know what nerves I have hit but I am owning it.
I used to think generational fighting is stupid, but the stats are undeniable, boomers own much of the wealth. Boomers are least likely to vote far right, but they are more likely to vote down affordable housing because they don’t want their property value to drop. That is an indirect support for the far right, because it leads to younger people being resentful and voting for populist far right who promise them the stars and blame the wrong types of people. This is a trend across the world. Generational and class conflict are one and the same in this case. Sorry to older folks of Lemmy, but older generations have become greedy.
they are not. having savings and a house is not being rich.
it’s just the old normal that applied to the older generations and would apply to us, if it weren’t for actual rich people keeping our salaries low and expenses high.

the generation war is not real, just distraction from the class war.

and that’s mostly rich people policy to end ownership.
we should be blaming rich people for that, not exactly boomers.
So boomers are rich.
they are not. having savings and a house is not being rich.

False.
