    Yet they refuse to see that climate change is what is causing this change.

    If they accept climate change, it means they have to acknowledge that their actions helped cause this and it means they need to change their behavior. People aren’t good at either but most Boomers especially suck at self-reflection.

      Which isn’t true either. They are not fully responsible. I can’t blame them for believing that personal co2 foot print nonsense. The oil industry poured billions into that campaign

        they voted for the policies that enabled it all and didn’t challenge their governments. If you’re a white boomer that isn’t in poverty, you ain’t on my innocent card

          They fell for the lies they wanted to hear because they propped up their ability to have it all. Fuck 'em.

          True that. But right now people are voting for the right while the right tell them straight to the face they will kill them.

          Apparently that is appealing for some people. Idk.

          And the old political parties are also shifting to the right following the capitalism.

      “Generation Me” is chock full of narcissists. And the one thing narcissists are never going to do is consider that they are the root of the very problems at hand.
