Anti-Boomerism is the Zoomerist version of "never trust anyone over 30." The first time as farce, the second time... also as farce.
@Imperius__13 "Boomers" didn't do anything, and "opposing" or "negating" Boomerism also won't do anything. These generational conflicts are nonsense.
@Imperius__13 I think there's very little (useful) extent to which we can speak of generations. Generations are not agents.
@Imperius__13 It depends on the purpose. People intent on using all their wealth before they die, assuming they have children, should be judged harshly. I don't know how many people are doing this, and leaving nothing. But questions of jobs and housing go beyond such decisions.
@Imperius__13 Things other than agents can be productively studied--they are used by agents, at any rate. But institutions can be agents--the army, a university, etc., makes decisions and do things--but generations don't. Unless someone wants to expropriate the Boomers somehow, where do
@Imperius__13 the discussions go? If you want to tax savings, pensions, or investments, or cut Medicare or Social Security, these will be broader reforms which you might hope hit Boomers hardests but which will have wider ramifications.
@Imperius__13 If there's a wealth concentration problem in the sense that wealth is not being productively used, then that can be targeted specifically. Slogans against Boomers won't help. And, anyway, the "anti-Boomerism" goes way beyond such stuff to develop a whole ideology through negation
@Imperius__13 Beating whom?
@Imperius__13 If Trump's closing off of immigration, repatriation of American wealth and reindustrialization doesn't "beat" them, then we will certainly have decades of serious conflict but it won't play out along generational lines, especially since the Boomers will all be dead pretty soon.
