The systems that destroyed our society were created by boomers and Regan. They just took time to work.
GenX was also relatively small compared to the boomers.
I wonder if every generation will blame (maybe correctly) previous generations. So long as things are getting worse, the kids kind of have a valid argument. "Why didn't you fix this before it got to us?"
As a millennial, I've been doing what I can short of going full vigilante. But in 30 years, they still wouldn't be wrong to say "it's still broke though isn't it?"
Millennial here too... I blame myself for everything, including climate change. Everything I (can) buy is wrapped in plastic. Everything I (can) consume produces CO2. Every step I take, every breath I make... I'm killing earth.
I have a lot of self hate and can understand anyone who hates my generation. At least it ends with me. Who ever thinks kids are a good Idea must be completely insane.
How about it's not your fault that there isn't a alternative to a more eco friendly product, because it's the politicians fault, we elect politician's and they have almost all of them a green Policy. But that's just on paper, they will really never do anything that hurt the economy and corporate profit. We vote on policy and they won't implement it, the only thing you are responsible for is holding your politicians to account, but yeah keep blaming yourself for the shit that you have no control over and live in apathy
