Do you feel that Boomers and Millennials are the two easiest generations to scapegoat for all of America's problems right now?

Before the incredible burst of wealth and consequent social shift of the post-ww2 period, there were only two generations: the young and the old. Obviously, people of different ages still existed, as did shared historical and cultural markers, but the Boomers were really the dawn of a "generation" as we knew it. Their parents kinda got grandfathered in as the "greatest generation" (and a stronger piece of self-aggrandizing nonsense you'll be hard-pressed to find), so you're essentially working with only six to pick from.

The Boomers' parents are all but gone, and Gen Z has only started to have kids, which cuts it to four meaningful ones. It's only natural.

Most of our problem actually started in the 1930s with the advent of the modern welfare state, outlawing much work, and enabling grandparents to abandon their historically vital role in the child rearing process with "Social Securty".
Every generation thereafter has been naturally going down hill in every country that could afford such a (UN mandated) program with less and less evidence of successful parenting teaching them how to function as adults.

Okay you likely don’t even know what millennial is, tbh. Generation X and the Boomers had more stake in how things are now. Millennials are still pretty young to have any lasting effect just yet. People are so stupid.

sure. but millennials didn't do anything. we've just been a victim of 2, almost 3 recessions, can't buy a house, can't start a family, have way too much student loan debt, i mean the list goes on...

It is easy to blame the baby boomers but they were the real greatest generation. They taught us how to question authority and that the government is not on the level.
