I’m sure it does happen but if ‘every’ Boomer has that life then that might have more to do with where you are or who you surround yourself with, including radicals.
I’ve met a lot of aging Boomer Leftists who are not even homeowners, much less business owners, and barely manage to survive but understand that’s the life they chose for themselves to keep tonsome revolutionary values. Shitting on a whole generation which includes its working class radicals is really misguided, as you said.
I know what you mean, but there were a lot of violent revolutionary movements that happened worldwide in which people who are now over the age of 45 were the primary participatory demographic.
You can be mad at older revolutionaries for not being successful, and even then the anger is perhaps misplaced, but I don’t think it was for lack of trying.
yeah I usually use a definition putting zoomers at 26. 27/28 would put me in the zoomer category, and although I know I’m in the “not-quite-millenial, not-quite-zoomer” age range, it just feels like I’m slightly closer to the millenials in how I grew up than the zoomers.
I can relate (in the z-millennial limbo bracket) as my upbringing was probably more like older millennials in that I didn’t have a lot of access to tech & the internet in my early childhood years (family couldn’t afford it) but I relate much more to zoomers than millennials nowadays tbh.
From what I’ve seen Gen Z is more staunchly pro-Palestine (probably because of being more informed from social media), whereas millennials are more likely to be lukewarm on the whole thing but generically support peace
Under the same poll, the large majority of 25-34 year olds support a ceasefire, but a big of chunk of those people both support a ceasefire and support Israel. Lot of “Israel has a right to defend itself but Netanyahu has taken things too far” talk from libs like that.
The zoomers are going to put us old people all in the pit and we will deserve it
Ngl sometimes it’s hard to not be mad at every single person over the age of 45 for not murdering at least one fossil fuel exec by now
This was your responsibility assholes, and now I have to live in the world y’all fucked up
People older than like 40 need to start making excuses for the lack of terror

the oldest millennials are 42 this year and 43 next year.
I’m a Zoomer and if you’re talking about the US, communist party membership was literally like 5 times higher in their days than right now
Boomer bashing is dumb

Yea you’re not wrong, every card carrying boomer I’ve met runs/owns a business nowadays lol

Not saying there aren’t based boomers but that’s not really saying much, isn’t the CPUSA notoriously ass? Most communists have no interest in it
The boomers tried to do this when they were still young in the 60s. They ended up blowing themselves up on accident lol

That age range is mostly zoomers
Just barely majority zoomers depending on what year you’re using as the cutoff
Zoomers top out at 27/28

Another poll:
That jump in the 25-34 column is pretty surprising.

The main reason I have this account is so that I can show it as evidence of mitigating circumstances at my Zoomer-led people’s trial.
I’m a late millennial, I can be a wise old hermit sage to the zoomers in the post climate wars apocalypse era.
talk to enough zoomers and you’ll come to understand that anyone older might as well be a boomer.
Every white Zoomer I’ve met is basically a Vaushite so I don’t hold out a ton of faith. Maybe the POC ones will save us.
there aren’t enough of us who can vote to affect any change
