This reads as exactly the kind of thing boomers complain about: That young people complain how it is someone else's fault instead of simply fixing it themselves.

    Yes, true, Boomers do complain about being called out for their failures.

    Parenting is a responsibility that they largely failed at, and they do not like being held accountable for their failures.

    And you think their parents were any better? Where does shifting the blame end? How about: We simply do it better.

    The point I am making is diagnosing the problem so that it can avoided in the future.

    When a giant part of the problem is the inability to be held accountable for causing a problem, identifying that lack of accountability itself as a problem, is vital.

    I agree that we should strive to be better, and I think that one of the ways we should all strive to be better is to accept and reflect upon criticism, and to also make ammends for past mistakes; to commit not only to rearing new generations in a better way, but also to improving ourselves within our own lifetimes.
