The previous generations actively sabotage effective measures. Prosecuting protesters, celebrating consumption, ridiculing the educated. My guidance counselors looked at me like I had two heads when I said I wanted to pursue a science education motivated by climate change over a "career". What career could I have if society isn't certain because of constantly shifting weather patterns, climate refugees, and the threat of resource wars? A little bit of any one of these things can throw the whole system off.

You’re right; Gen X has a healthy dose of responsibility too.

Edit: forgive for the lack of nuance. This obviously applies more-so to the capital owners, not your every-day Joe just trying to get by. This, like all things, is heavily aimed at the Haves, not the Have-Nots.

No other generations had enough influence or power until the last few years. Gen X was always massively outnumbered, and Millennials quite often sided with boomers with some sort of weird Stockholm syndrome. Now with Millennials seemingly cured of their Stockholm syndrome, Gen X still existing, and Gen Z being adults, there are finally enough people to out-vote the boomers.
