    Neither Bernie Sanders nor Donald Trump are boomers, yet they are basically as different as people can be.

    Much is being made of the climate denialists, anti-vaxers, anti-trans, and white supremacists. Take a look at their membership and the people who show up to the marches. The vast majority are younger than boomers.

    To put some more names on the non-boomers seemingly intent on destroying society: Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Pierre Pollievre (looking like he might be Canada’s next Prime Minister).

    I’m under no illusions regarding the damage that my generation has done, but let’s be clear: it’s the stupid and the rich, powerful, greedy, and just generally miserable excuses for human beings in every generation ever that have wrecked the world and continue to do so.

    Whoever came up with “generational psychology” must have been intent on finding yet more ways to divide and conquer. We need solidarity of purpose, not infighting based on artificial or statistical constructs.
