[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on the topic. I was born in 1974, which is closer to millennials than boomers.
[b]I was politically active as a teenager / young adult, fighting for the environment. Millennials took that torch. [/b]Then GenZ.
I believe in healthcare for all, great public schools, and a “safety net” for when people fall on hard times. But I don’t believe in supporting someone that doesn’t attempt to work. I am for social equality. Which I think boomers are for too. 
I don’t believe in publicly shaming everybody that shared or liked an “offensive” meme 10 years ago - unless it is an abundant amount over many years. Example: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/09/27/reporter-who-outed-racist-tweets-by-viral-fundraiser-leaves-des-moines-register-after-his-own-offensive-posts-surface/
I had kids late in life, so I am raising my children alongside the Millennials. I don’t side with the boomers when it comes to children. I don’t believe every child gets an award for participation but I also don’t believe in telling children that life‘s not fair and suck it up. There’s a position in between those two mentalities.[/quote]

Are you really trying to say Boomers weren't politically active?  [/quote]
No, just not so much for the environment. That’s a Gen X thing.
