Too bad boomers ruined my best chance at that.
I've been fortunate enough to have seen my material conditions improve as I've entered my mid-thirties which has let me start a family and buy a home. I've also watched my incredibly talented and hard working friends/acquaintances/neighbours be ground into dust under the cruel rule of capitalism. I got lucky, they didn't, this has radicalized me far more than any naive idealism ever could.
Exactly this. I'm fortunate enough that the skills I'm good at have a lot of demand at the moment, but people I know that are more hard working than I am and very talented, struggle to get by just because their job for some reason is considered less worthy to pay for.
Wanting to maintain this rotten system is the purest form of greed.

Influencers on the whole are trying their best to make little nazis out of the next generations. Give them time.
Wait is Alpha the next generation's name after Zoomers?
Yeah, for now. That might change. Millennial was originally Gen Y.
