The right way is to state the facts as they stand. You, and certain others, may not like to hear the truth but I am not going to pander to your delicate sensibilities here, the reality remains.

Here's a good analysis of the position I am outlining:

How baby boomers became the most selfish generation



As the article says, there is hope:

You have a point they are being snowflakes here, which is very, very ironic given their political stance

What I said was very accurate: the majority of 50/60/70/80+ voters wilfully denying the very obvious wishes of their children/grandchildren is not a good look.

And guess who will be paying (through taxation) for the pension & care provision of these people? Yes, the very people who had their future denied to them

I said nothing of the sort. Trying reading next time and not just projecting your twisted narrative
The article you quoted was pertinent to the US scene and not to Brexit nor anything like it.

Your fundamental position seems to be that older people should have sacrificed their view to that of the young people. That is not what life (and democracy) is about. The younger people haven't given a thought to Brussels making our over-arching laws. And before you bleat about the older people not being wise enough to foresee the current situation, I point out that they certainly understand the long game.

As I said, it was implicit in your statement that the older people were doing something wrong by exercising their democratic right in the Referendum.

You are too bitter to see things in the right proportions.
