You're stretching my words farther than I intended them to go. When things are difficult, it's always easiest to blame the previous generation(s) than to do something about it. It bothers me to hear and read millennials complaining about how hard life is, instead of taking action to change things. Where are the throngs of millennials in Washington protesting? Why do they continue to buy shit from big corps instead of coming up with ways to boycott them? Why do they continue to fight fabricated wars and do nothing to oppose them, which at least the early baby boomers tried to do? Writing blog posts about how baby boomers screwed the economy is not going to solve anything.
It's the defeatist attitude in these articles that gets me. Young people are supposed to be drivers of change, not just people who sit around complaining. That's supposed to be the older people.
