    My parents received a lot o financial support in order to afford to buy an apartment for our family.

    Neither my sister, nor myself has received similar financial support to buy a place to live in.

    My parents instead live in a gigantic place they don’t use fully, and own several houses and apartments they rent out for profit. Of course none the real estate they own is anywhere near myself or my sister’s family. They also love to go on fancy expensive vacations all the time and complain about the younger generations. Of course they also get pensions from the companies they used to work for. Something that just doesn’t exist anymore.

    There’s a lot of overlap between generational and class war.

      But this is your personal experience. There are a shit ton of boomers that are amazing and give their kids hand ups. It’s the system that is broken. Weren’t the proud boys mostly millennials? They were probably living off their parents. Gen Xers are never really shit on anymore because there isn’t enough of them to give an opinion. I can say though, there are a fucking ton of shitty gen xers too.

      It’s a class war that built this system, not a generational war.
