You say "needless" I say "completely self inflicted". I say "good" because they're actually experiencing consequences of their shitty behavior. Will it make them decide to do something else? Probably not but it's nice to see someone getting their just desserts.
In an era of rampant voter disenfranchisement I don't think we can blame the victims for their predicament. Post World War 2 leaders got the electorate they wanted by making leftists and minorities criminals.
Imagine thinking "leftists" and "minorities" when people are talking about "Boomers".
I'm sorry are you of the opinion that there are no retirement age BIPOC people?
I'm sorry are you of the opinion that BIPOC represent the majority of Boomers? Because it kinda sounds like you're trying to get white Boomers to ride the coattails of well deserved sympathy and consideration for a minority population within that generational age group. That's pretty pathetic honestly.
Most boomers are white, procorporate, selfish, or general shit people. The fact that you even think "leftist" when describing that generation is delusional.
Dude, what are you smoking? Is this just some desperate effort to defend your ability to shit talk an entire generation for something a wealthy minority imposed on them, across generations?
Buddy there are some legitimate arguments to be made about why someone shouldn't talk shit about an entire generation. I happen to disagree with them but I'll admit they're legitimate.
Trying to paint Boomers as "leftists"? Bruh. Come the fuck on.
Well that would fly in the face of what I'm saying wouldn't it? Why would I say they're all leftists right after saying it's a class problem, not a generation problem.
