Uhhh the generation that we call the Baby Boomers have been in control of their respective societies for over forty years. You can see the age (and the apathy, of course) in all of them. The worst (and oldest, of course) are Japan and Italy, but it's a bad problem everywhere.

I would support a maximum voting age, give the reins over to the next generation and let it go already.



The amount of nonsense is staggering

> the generation that we call the Baby Boomers have been in control of their respective societies for over forty years

So they grabbed control when they were in their 20s and didn't let go? That's a bit unlikely, isn't it? And most of the people in that generation had no power whatsoever.

> You can see the age

If you define a group by its age, of course you bloody can see the age. Do you add sentences in the hope that a random true one strengthens other ramblings?

> and the apathy

Strange. In the last years, apathy under adolescents and young adults seems to be getting out of control. Or are you calling them boomers too?


Lol why would I attempt a "conversation" with someone like this
