Paying taxes that fund public education despite not having kids? Supporting politicians who want to make our public education system more robust and performant? Supporting politicians and policies to attempt to combat climate change? Giving money to causes related to the above even though I don’t (and will never) have kids?
It doesn’t sound like you’re getting it so I’ll spell it out. If you’re not actively thinking about or doing something for the next generation, why would you expect a boomer to have done so?
Who the hell are you to judge what they can or should be doing? They might not have the means, time, or health to do more. Get out of here with that high horse.
My bad for believing that you should pay forward what society has already done for you. I don’t care that you didn’t intend on having children. People have given far more that you benefited from as a child and the bare minimum is that you do the same.
No matter what you believe, you have benefited from policy and programs funded by taxpayers who may or may not have had any intention of benefiting you specifically.
And they just gave you ways they have given back. Get off your high horse and maybe you would see that. You don’t know that person’s spot in life. They might be doing the best they can. You’re speaking from a point of privilege to demand more.

Yeah, that should fix things.
I wasn’t aware that my assignment was to “fix things” on my own

So… Contributing the bare minimum to society?

The ways they give back are all standard expected behavior in a functioning society. Pay your taxes and vote.
Do you want a cookie for doing what we all are supposed to be doing?
You really need to check your privilege.
My god you are a massive fucking asshole.
You must be a blast at the parties no one invites you to.
Cute. Projecting? Or maybe someone hurt your fee fees? I’m just some text on the Internet buddy. It’s going to be alright.
