This shit really shatters my fantasy of post gen x people fostering a genuinely more empathetic and moral culture.
the boomers were worse than the generations before and after them
This is part of the pattern that has been going on for all of recorded human history also
No Boomers are actually worse, like they were even worse when they WERE the new generation. Reagan won the youth vote, in terms of economics Boomers are actually more conservative than their parents. Generational politics is mostly bullshit, but for a variety of socio-economic reasons Boomers turned out to be shit at a somewhat higher rate than most other generations.

It was all the atmospheric lead.
Nah I think it was the silver spoon of the late-80s, early-90s economy being shoved up their ass.
The few based Boomers that exist are mostly early Boomers, the Boomers we got today are late Boomers who came up when it looked like the American dream was paying off.
