I don’t own those ideals coming from “your entire generation.” I understand what you’re saying, however, but finger pointing at MY entire generation (as individuals within a large group) is a sweeping generalization.

Exactly and it's accurate on a sweeping generalized scale which is what drives policies. In this case the finger pointing is accurate when explaining what has happened in this country as they have drove a half century of politics.
You as an individual might hold much different views. Context in this thread were a granular viewpoint, not individual. If your ideals and voting pattern deviated from standard boomers, then you aren't to individually blame. My dad holds certain ideals and then voted against them every chance he got
All the reasons he voted against them aren't entirely on him. Politics, religion and propaganda convinced him it was for the greater good. He was wrong, but I'm the end, he isn't the one to pay the price. That's for his descendents to deal with.
I have individual issues with my current ideals. As time goes on, I feel that there is no collective power to achieve the ideals I once held and it's hopeless overall so just cash out and pump and dump this planet. That doesn't make that a good stance. Just a defeatist one.
