Let me tell you, then... Boomers are NOT the ruling class. A small group of rich people control most of the wealth in the world. Those people are the ruling class.

Really? Because when I see the folks that hold the line against anything positive getting done, I don't see rich people, I see wannabe rich boomers. Blocking legislation, packing courts, gerrymandering, keeping the electoral college, introducing politics of spite, it's all the fucking boomers and I refuse to be gaslit that they aren't at the core of the problem.

I'd say the core of the jawbreaker of fucked upness is the elite wealthy. However boomers aren't too many layers away though imo

And who are those boomers protecting? The owning class.
