Is there anything you'd be willing to fight a war for?

You just moved the goalposts considerably: asking me for evidence of a given phenomenon, only to later admit that you yourself believe the same phenomenon to be taking place. "you don't have any prove that Group A is doing X" --> "okay, so I don't blame Group A for doing X!". Frankly, this is disingenuous.


Alas, one thing I've typically seen eye-to-eye with with liberal boomers is that we both share a fundamental assumption of "people who work hard and perform well should be rewarded for their effort and expertise". Where we differ is to the degree that we believe people get what they deserve (once again, I'm a moderate here because I think things like that are super case by case). However, a lot of late wave millennial and Gen Z liberals have essentially taken an attitude of "I give up, I'm just gonna opt out". Tbf, something superficially similar can be seen with Gen X, but where Gen X embraced the gig economy, the former are literally just dropping out and expecting other people to pay for them.
