the boomers didn't build shit. they were just as clueless as people today. it was the oligarchs and their power structure, particularly that of john rockefeller the third who had all the major banks, media, acedamia, as well as the state department and cia under their thumb.  he made the world what it is today. two competing cultures, falling birthrates, neo liberalism, etc. it was his baby, and we just inherited the ship. he left a power vaccume no single oligarch has been able to fill, and now we're an economic zone being torn at by competing oligarchs and technocrats.
