I’m sure there won’t be any negative repercussions to the level of generational inequality
Certainly young folk won’t be radicalised towards the political extremes by it.
And even if they were, what harm, it’s not like we’re not in the midst of a continent-wide rearmament.

no need to hate on the boomers exclusively, every new generation will be smaller than the previous one and experience the same things…
gen z will hate on the millenials.
gen alpha will hate on gen z…
all of this has happened before and will happen again

There isn’t a more selfish voting group anywhere. The future is grim, imagine trying to sell anything other than more and more pensions when half of the electorate is 50+

What’s that quote about working people fighting each other when they should be fighting billionaires and oligarchs?

Oligarch run Media blames boomers, millennials, migrants or woke. What else is new?
Surely it’s not the oligarchs that are at fault. You don’t get paid to write about that, do you?

IMO everyone over 75 shouldn’t have the right to vote anymore…

Talk about demonising people in your own population. Do we really think that people born in a certain period are somehow different than others, or those others won’t end up voting/ behaving in the same way when they reach a certain age? How narrow minded.

That’s what everyone seems to be forgetting: Europe is old. And the average old person is conservative and scared. Scared of change and scared of all things different.
I think it’s a big factor in the growth of extreme right parties.

Young folks usually are radicalized, that is how age works. You are terrible person if you are not communist on 20 and you are idiot, if you are not conservative on 40.

It’ll vary from country, but in the UK millennials are the single largest generation, but they don’t vote in the numbers that boomers do. Politicians won’t kowtow to millennials until they start voting in serious numbers.

The rise of schizo-boomerism: politics by appealing to the immediate fears of a media-addicted brain-rotten geriatric class with the attention span of a golden retriever.

Untouchable boomers and gen Z.
