Great for the Mayor.
Calling out millennials.....
Good government generally, it may seem.
But I detest the already overly generationalized nature of American political speech sociology and history perspectives.
Calling out quote millennials, as millennials, re COVID 19 carelessness, is just another unfortunate example.
It fosters faux generational confrontation, rather than understanding of history as it has happened. Long story......
Similarly, calling out quote boomers (left, liberal, or right), as being responsible for everything, or anything even, as many boomer liberals and leftists have done, has been both misleading and counterproductive.
It has been counterproductive, and misleading, even to generationalize history into earlier and later generational schema, in my judgment, regardless of particular beginning and endpoints, or duration of generations, or excuses.
But here in America, the Mayor is on firm ground.
Anyway, long story.
After the genome revolution, and paleogenetics, the concept of racial and genetic differences, and broad civilizational differences, makes a lot more sense, in terms of hard science, than generational explanations. Geneticists do talk about social and genetic mutation change etc, over many generations, but it is not a generation by generation kind of analysis generally.
