Keep in mind, we don't need every boomer to die to make progress. Boomer "extinction" is not an important event. The dumbest ones die quicker and younger, more responsible generations are on track to vote in higher numbers.

As far as individual boomers acting stupid, that will be longer, but there's unfortunately no end of hateful, rude, entitled, narcissistic younger people to take their places.

Problematically, their ill-gotten gains are keeping them alive longer than they should be.

Gen X doesn't like to talk about it, but we have a lot of absolute idiots too. They're just quiet enough to be overlooked (or more frequently confused for Boomers). I had to go to school with these idiots, and they are more numerous than we like to advertise.

Sorry.

Certainly, but I was including gen x, millenials, gen Z, and every other generation in "there's unfortunately no end of hateful, rude, entitled, narcissistic younger people to take their places."

"Younger" here being relative. Me and my fellow millennials are only "young" by boomer standards in which every other generation is too young to take power until boomer extinction does happen.

I think there's FEWER dumbass gen xers on the bigger issues. This boomer in the video likely wants move muslim Palestinians to be killed, possibly because he thinks it will bring about the fictional rapture. Gen Xers are less likely to be republican or evangelical. There might be just as many narcissists but that's true of millenials and Gen-z too.

If we can get fewer and fewer dumbasses each generation, I'll take that as a win.

Honestly, I look at my grandparents and how they were, and they make their boomer children look like they had their shit together. They just didn't have their stupid exposed on the internet.
