Comment on Can you believe all those wildfires in [your country here]?

Two questions: 1) Who you gonna blame when they’re all dead and 2) What are other, apparently superior “generations”, en masse, doing to realize a better world?

Them, still, because they are the ones who did the things.

This is like asking if I am still going to be blaming Japan for bombing Pearl Harbor, Andrew Jackson for the Trail of Tears.

Well for example, Gen Z and Millenials have been, collectively, much more concerned about climate change and trying to have their voices heard, but the Boomers have also destroyed both the US Political System/Government and also Economy, and you… can’t really socially act from a position of little to no social power.

Your framing of this question does two things:

It misses the point that climate change is a time sensitive issue with a window for being able to address it. That window is largely passed now, now we are in the stage of ‘how do we mitigate/survive this’ instead of ‘how do we prevent this’.

And this is also victim blaming. Hey I burned down your house, why are you homeless, what are YOU doing to solve YOUR problem?

  The generational level of “concern” can be measured in voter turnout data. It isn’t very good.
