Am I part of the luckiest generation alive?

As young graduates criticise the terms of their student debt, Evan Davis asks whether baby boomers really were the luckiest generation

Boomer sitting next to me at cafe watching bullshit videos on his phone at full volume. #NotAllBoomers.

I see a lot of shit thrown at #boomers
but when you go to a protest, there are a lot of them right there in the front row, protesting to protect democracy.

Those are boomers I like. I wonder what will happen when they go.

#NotAllBoomers

Every now and then I see a post about age demographics here and how sad it is that young netizens don't use Mastodon.

I also see many posts from people aged 40 and above, who otherwise identify vaguely left, openly displaying their adultism here unchallenged. And yes, #NotAllBoomers, but adultism is the reason why #OkBoomer is a thing. Why even bother arguing with someone who refuses to take your perspective seriously?

@DIEZEIT ja Mensch, hΓ€tte sie doch bloß vorher jemand gefragt anstatt jeden kleinsten Einwand mit einem beherzten "UNS HAT ES DAMALS AUCH NICHT GESCHADET" nieder zu machen. πŸ’

Ab morgen wundern wir uns dann wieder warum sich die Jugend von den meisten Parteien und Medien abwenden. WΓ€hrend in selbigen diskutiert wird was man der Jugend noch wegnehmen, abverlangen oder wo man sie als Vorwand fΓΌr benutzen kann.

Okay Boomer. #NotAllBoomers

A huge issue I find, trying to work out any complex issue with my parents' generation, is they're often simply and literally *unable to parse* a nonviolent-communication-structured statement from me that cannot be simplified any further.
