And somehow you don't think GenX wasn't fucked over by the same things?

They were, albeit to a lesser extent. The Reaganomics nonsense was young enough in their time that they were able to slip past with far less damage. They escaped the brunt of the student loan crisis. They were able to establish careers well enough in advance to have far better survival odds against the numerous economic crashes. They were absolutely iced out of politics, just the same as us. They're in the same situation, but spared the worst by time.

The difference is that by and large they tend to side with boomers in blaming millennials and zoomers for this shit; they play apathetic but, atvleast in my experience, are far more likely to cast blame downstream than up. Hence, "honorary boomer." They've elected to be part of the problem.
