We do have a responsibility, in our role as 4T crisis management, to build a better world for the next saeculum.  But I disagree with you that we've trained Millies to care less about humanity; from what I've observed of them--personally and in a general sense--they care very much, to the point that they are derided as "SJWs" and "special snowflakes."  My fear is that they will lack staying power; that they give up too easily.

Ah actually some xers have actually said it would be better if they were dead. Heck I have even known some boomers themselves who have said it would be better if their generation was dead. Sorry but you cannot take away from what has already been said. Does it mean all agree? No. But some have actually said that.

It might be that he was only referring to a few assholes on these forums, but I got the impression he was speaking in a general sense.

Could be but from my personal experience it goes beyond this forum unfortunately. It is even shown here in NZ too with some of our xers. Millies to a lesser degree. It is sad because these people probably have boomer relatives. Are they wishing them dead too? Things said in anger like this can be quite idiotic when you think about it.

Yes, that is pretty shitty.  I have never personally heard anyone wish Boomers were dead, Gen X or otherwise.  Some of my Millie coworkers have complained about Boomers, and shared memes like this:

One of the best summations of what the Boomers did that I have ever seen.
