Some might suggest that most of the oligarchs are the boomers in these memes.

You can claim that all oligarchs are boomers (and that would not be close to true, a lot of the techbro oligarchs are a lot younger), but not all boomers are oligarchs. OP is inferring all boomers are oligarchs, so it is the textbook definition of intergenerational strife deflection.

All the oligarchs I can name are boomers or gen X.

Again, pretty irrelevant, considering oligarchs constitute a fraction of a fraction of a generation (and their wealth and oligarch status will be inherited by their gen a or z offspring anyway).

Overall gen x got shafted. But about a dozen of them won monopoly irl. We all pay rent to the landowners.

Exactly if we need to blame anyone, its fucking Wall Street and investment firms. Those are the people jacking up prices and reducing quality, they are also responsible for the entire outsourcing to China etc.

Political polarization was the greatest deflection.
