That you can find an exception to the generalization does not invalidate the generalization.I'm a boomer and I found the video hilarious and largely correct. Certainly the only reason I know how to use cutlery is because I was taught by a Gen X girlfriend in my 30s; most boomers probably haven't had the opportunity.
As for that revolution, I've seen what it appears Millenials have planned and if it is the Social Justice Utopia that is supposed to come I have absolutely no interest. I honestly don't think that our society can be fixed, we need to burn down everything that's been constructed since WW2 except those things built by the GIs we want to keep and start over from scratch.
I'm not the only Xer who has come to that conclusion.
The millenials aren't doing independent plans as yet; they are following whichever boomers they trust. That "Social Justice Utopia" is planned by ex-hippies and pushed by millenials they have trained.
Be careful what you wish for about burning things down. If things are burned down in the crisis, boomers are still going to be leading, and boomers play for keeps. Don't expect the burning to be limited to conventional weapons, not in a crisis war.
