(105,083 posts)It is sad that you have self-hatred for your own generation that has done so much good-- even while that "good" is offset by largely RW members and those of the generation prior whose policies were often so harmful and regressive. There is much to be proud of in terms of the accomplishments of that generation--while likewise many serious lapses, mistakes, and lessons to be learned and not to be repeated by subsequent generations.
No population or cohort is all good or all bad. If you take the time to reflect on the incredible advances made by the Boomer generation--whether it be civil rights, science, medicine, technology, the early environmental movement, education, space exploration, and on and on. It is just depressingly sad that you don't see that, even if equally important to recognize the failures as well.
