boomers

Do not divide the working class in such a way.

The class war is the 1% vs the working class, not generation vs generation.

    This is like saying it's bad to acknowledge white privilege because it divides the working class.

    You're being a class reductionist. It's not bad to use language that normal people can understand. Especially when doing it in the context of a criticism of capitalism and class conflict. Which is what I did. It's why you quoted "boomers" and nothing else. You're not responding to the content of my comment. You're pointing to a label that the working class uses AND understands and then telling me not to use that label.

    I'd agree with you if a generation argument was being used to mask class conflict. But I did not do that at all. Not in the slightest.

    Reread my comment and reply to some actual substance if you want. Otherwise all you're doing is policing a word.
