It isn't just "Boomers" as you call them. How many boomers are seeking to tear down "the system" and were (are?) involved in the mayhem of Portland or from January 6th? Few, if any I'd wager. So if well-to-do elderly are speaking out from "priviledge" as provided from a lifetime of hard work, saving and smart investing under CURRENT laws, mostly they deserve to be heard via speaking and not chucking molotov cocktails, bricks and flaming trash receptacles. But those like DeNiro, or (GASP!) Kapernick (not a "Boomer?" Go figure.) definitely ARE morons who deserve to have THEIR wealth redistributed to deserving causes but NOT to the allegedly Gimme Youth who are intent to tear the whole damned system down and expect to have freebies handed to them without benefit of WORKING to EARN it by the sweat of their BROW. So all you "Milennial" types quit your unrepentent crying and sniveling and WORK to change the system if you don't like it in its present form. But try to reform it LEGALLY and hope the new "system" you desire is NOT Socialiism. Because hiistory HAS shown that to work SO well, hasn't it? Just ask those from the former Combloc countries. Or even present day countries who live under/in a socialist society while paying upwards of 50% or MORE in taxes. Don't like OTHERS living off of YOUR hard work? You'd best LOOK before you leap.

Sounds like you should slap the crap out of your parents for their parenting FAILURE in your upbringing, huh? Maybe insist that THEY redistribute their "wealth" to the poor and unfortunate Millenials such as yourself. That way you can buy some cool "spinners" for your Escalade as you drive off to your next group to burn and pillage? Sounds about like your speed, PeePee, what with your lack or morals, ethic or integrity. Now Sally Forth in the arms of your Boifriend!! Hahaha!!!
Being older than I was I can see how people slip into the 'comfortable' way of thinkig as if somehow they deserve an easy life. But the truth is life is a challenge and you don't win it just by living. You need to grow and develop and be better than you were and that includes being less selfish and egotisical like we are when we were kids.
Snowden nails the sentiment , but is it a corruption of a soul , or the corruption of the mind? For sure only one thing will save us in the end and it is not money, power or prestige. It is by having the capacity to love and be loved and to care less about ourselves than we do about others.
Just repent of your sins Boomer. Drop on your knees right now and sincerely ask God for forgiveness for all the wickedness and sinning in your life. PS.: Don't forget to take the 4th booster shot.

100%. Look at Howard Stern and countless celebrities who championed freedom of speech and railed against censorship and now are more authoritarian than Stallin. If you think about it the current left is far worse than any prior communist or fascist regime. At least those regimes were homogeneous
