Sorry, how is your post different from someone claiming [insert racial group] is prone to greed and you're simply trying to criticize greed? It's basically a Mad Libs of that old fashioned bigotry.
Also, I'm confused by your first paragraph there. It's such a weird thing to acknowledge that birth year is a fixed/ascribed trait then immediately launch into a prejudicial rant based on said ascribed trait. Even weirder to pause mid rant to claim you aren't a bigot for inexorably linking an ascribed trait to a achieved (greed) state, which is basically the literal definition of bigotry. Or, is "That's exactly the same thing" sarcasm and you're implying people do choose when they're born? Very confusing.
You're quick. Fuck everyone in my mother's generation who won't step aside and let younger people hold office, buy houses (she lives alone in a three bedroom house), or start careers (a former CEO came out of retirement and accepted a low-level position part-time where my partner works just so he'd have "something to do" ten hours per week). They are suppressing everyone under them.
What a weird thing to say.
You know, this new wave of age based bigotry does come with a silver lining. You see, an old school race based bigot can go their whole lives hating on [insert constructed racial group]. They can, on their death bed, look out the window and find someone to hate on. It's a life-long obsession. But you age based bigots are going to wake up one day in a world without booomers. Then what will you do with all your irrational hate?
Hate makes people say the darnedest things.
