Hi mowibble.

There is a reason the post war (39-45) generation was called boomers.
Where would you be now if the boomers hadn't sacrificed so much to defeat the far left and right ?
I doubt very much that you would have the freedom to express you views as you are now doing.
I am personally thankful and glad that you can.
I am eternally grateful that I can,due to the sacrifices made.
The boomers rebuilt and built nations/economies by not wingeing about how hard done by they were but getting on with the job and taking advantage of the opportunities.
The current generation seem to want to tear it all down and hope for a nirvana that doesn't exist by stripping those that do and give to those that don't or won't.
Why do the spoilt expect everybody to help ?
Woke and virtue stands are just signalling.
Go out and do.
Instead of wasting energy/effort fighting oneself why not marshall it and work together.
Socialism is an ideological construct that has never changed the world for greater good.
Capitalism, though not perfect has taken more people out of poverty and ill health.
Grow the pie, encourage helping others ( not forcing ) and look to what you can do.
Current events, these too shall pass.
Will you be the next boomer or looser ?
IMHO.
