That doesn’t sound very much like apologizing, it sounds like avoiding accountability, using the vocabulary of concepts that I am certainly more well educated in than you are.
Wow!
A Boomer being patronizing?!
I never would have guessed!
But oh! Oh!
Its stereotyping when I say most Boomers are spoiled narcissist cowards!
Well you got two outta three of those, congrats on most likely being white trash like myself.
I’m not missing anything here, all the shit you just Boomer-splained to me? I figured it out 20 years ago, and have been loudly saying as much since.
… I’ve already done more shit than you can apparently imagine I ever would, from squaring up against rioting cops in the street to managing the data side of the largest system of shelters in a major West Coast city, to being a part of so many different protests I can’t even keep em straight.
“Welcome to my world.”
Yeah, no shit, we’re both white trash but you act like its personally yours, somehow.
You have no credit? No debt? Positive net worth?
Oh cool, so, unlike at least a quarter of the current population, heavily skewed toward younger folks of course… you lived a life a life where that was possible to do!
How nice that is for you.
Kindly fuck off and never speak to me again.
… and never, ever refer to me as dude or friend.
You wouldn’t know how to ally with anything in a meaningful, productive, pleasant way.
You couldn’t even momentarily sacrifice your pride to attempt to connect with me, someone you’re ostensibly trying to ally with.
No, instead you figure you know better, you’re the default authority figure, you just try to out self-righteous me.
Wrong move.
You don’t fucking get it.
People like me demand just a basic level respect and people like you aren’t capable of giving even an iota of it.
Because you can’t allow or abide your ego to be ever challenged, even slightly, in any way.
Utterly untrustworthy, demonstrated the opposite qualities of a potentially reliable team mate, friend, ally.
Where in amything that I’ve written did I make a single assumption about you as a person, or part of a generation?
You want me to kiss your ass and I’ve rightly remarked that you are angry, which I DO respect.
I understand that entirely.
However… I ain’t puckering up and kissing your winking starfish.
Sorry. Won’t do that to anyone. Ever…
What you may not be liking is that now that I can’t be held to some “wealthy older indulged fuck” standard because I’m in a shitty boat like you are, you pivot this to some disrespect thing… when it’s not about your generation, but you and the personal disrespect you seem to have of anyone older - as if having a longer time in a shit situation doing the SAME things - fighting for positive change - is somehow your duty and yours alone and negates anyone else’s?
Seriously?
Put away your martyr Mahatma…
Also, no “net worth” other than a decade old car, and to be honest, someone’s “net worth…” is a capitalist value standard of a system YOU believe in, not me. It absolutely CAN be done, I’m seeing more and more people your age are deciding it’s the best route forward to stay free of the hooks of indebtness. Just save what you can, live light on the earth, aim to rise above being consumed by rage and stay free of the pot. Instead of clambering for a general strike, aim to push a foundational change to the society… but not until you get the split level ranch with the 2-car garage?
That’s what I’m seeing, and when called out on it… well… here we are.
Boiled frogs indeed.
Hey, anyhow it’s a Sunday, be well, go out and have a wonderful day and take care.

Just as useless as I figured you would be.
