I would echo Peter's comment that was posted about 1½ hr. prior to mine.

I qualify for Boomer membership, but only by dint of my birth year. I actually never truly tasted the alleged, glorious benefits of being a "Boomer". Due to a bad start that coincided with my own country entering into a multi-decade transition, I suffered many hardships, trials, and tribulations, and didn't start to "make it" until my early 40s.

To be frank, the only places I've seen a convincing and consistent display of Boomer "good fortune" has been California, the New England States, perhaps Florida, and of course London. My own birth region went into economic decline soon after Edward Heath took the U.K. into the European Communities (1973).

To try to paint one artificially-formed (or arbitrary) generational grouping as having an easier life compared to some other arbitrary grouping serves no useful purpose except to encourage discord and resentment between younger and older folk ... to the benefit of our collective enemies.

Every generation (however you seek to define them) gets to suffer its unique hardships, and it's unique good fortunes. There's nothing to be done to change that. It's just the way life pans out.

I was once young and virile; just like the 25 year old males of today (mostly) are. We all take our turn. And we can't afford to try and apportion blame upon someone else just because he/she allegedly belongs to some other generation that only actually exists on Social Media, or some Netflix production.

I know what walker is attempting here. And that's fine. In some respects, one could argue it's a worthy poll question to put before Primal / Nostr members. On the other hand one could also reasonably argue it is too risky simply because such questioning invites emotional and ill-informed responses.

We need to focus on building community and encouraging mutual respect between the young and the old, and with the old and the young. Whichever direction you want to put it.

Let's chill out on this one. No need to delete the question. I personally thank walker for posting it. But we need to be clear. We are in the midst of a massive global transition, while living on the cusp of a huge war of potentially global proportions. This is not a good time to be contemplating our generational differences.

If we can't grow into a "Multi-Generational Band of Brothers" ... then we will surely risk degenerating into a resentful rabble of ageist squabblers.
