Personally, I find the whole being a flag bearer for an age cohort thing to be very hokey and needlessly distracting from the actual class warfare that we are constantly losing to the capitalist class.
I do not endorse generational warfare as a concept. But this is actually just a boomer Facebook meme. The title is a literal description of what it is.
Piety has nothing to do with it. I'm not trying to act holier-than-thou. Obviously the person in the OP screenshot is a total fucking loser, but this doesn't generalize gen x or baby boomers. This is just some individual pretending real adversity in life is a scenario he totally imagined, probably based only in repeated fictions that he eventually came to believe in.
Also, there is no disagreement about baby boomers living much more privileged and easier lives in general than we do today. But nobody chooses the environment in which they're born into, the propaganda of the era they are subjected to, or the general information publicly available to them during their lives. Much as you said, we all receive a propaganda made to keep us compliant to the economic system we live under, and that message shifts over time. But that's the thing that needs to be combated today, not the bygone fact that someone lived a better life in the past.

I accept this.
