Seriously, you're sticking up for the corporations and ultra rich who use extreme propaganda to influence everyone?

And who owns and operates those corporations?

You are operating under a false dichotomy, it's not an either or situation. Yes corporations are negatively impacting our society, but that doesn't negate the fact that the lion's share of the profit created by those companies are going directly into a boomers pocket.

We are arguing about the cultural and ethical beliefs of generations. Bringing up corporations doesn't inherently mean anything without context, and with context it doesn't really improve your argument.

The elderly inherently share more blame for the status quo because they've had the most time to influence the status quo.
