Hey, this post is a great example of that very thing!
I feel sad for the people who bought into the 'boomers are to blame' propaganda. Very similar to the 'they terk er jerbs' crew. From this article:
I don't know if you think that it was millenials who started planting trees, or protesting forestry policies and oil companies, but I've been getting arrested for that very thing since the 80s, along with a lot of my friends. People who, by the by, did not make the cut for home ownership. If you think it's because everyone over 40 voted for this, I'd be curious to know who you've been voting for that is turning this around.
The people you want to be raging against are the rich people. Plain and simple. And if you're such a simpleton as to believe that the problem is age, it probably doesn't matter what you think at this point, anyway. But I wish you the best of luck!
The paradox of chaos. If I accept chaos than I'm not deny anything. For example; you can't create a system of anarchy with order. You can't create order without chaos.
So it's the understanding of the paradox that people don't want to know. Like how in religion everyone sins... But no one admits it... I admit it. The paradox of religious faith is the same as the paradox of chaos. It's constant good and evil. Nothing more nothing less.
Might as well be nihilists.
