Except that I'm talking about feeling personally that you were part of the problem.

Joe Blow was not feeling personally guilty about nuclear weapons. Or felt like they personally caused the war. Or that the economic crash was their fault.

Do you know how many people, particularly boomers, spent literally decades denying climate change, while obviously not participating in efforts against it?

If I'm an old white boomer who spent the last 15 years making my whole identity a Ford F-350 and Fuck Biden / Fuck Trudeau bumper stickers, I heart oil, i heart beef, i heart anything that a liberal hates.....I might be feeling a bit uneasy about some of my stances while I'm watching the world burn. Then again, let's face it.... the ones who did the most damage are the least likely to even be capable of understanding how dire things are, even when they're staring it in the face.....
