More than anything else millenials have been severely unorganized, which is weird since that's the generation that had it spoon fed to them with movies like bugs life, but still can't manage to band together for a strike, it really has seemed that millenials just collectively gave up and accepted being depressed slaves, and I get blaming the boomer+ CEOs but the blame and shame game does nothing, but that's the only game millenials as a generation seem to know how to play and when they can't cancel culture their way out of a dying rigged economy they just flail
Boomers were the last generation with an immersion in and understanding of civic society and organizing.
That's why they can get stuff done quickly and on a massive scale. For example, the youth were pretty familiar with all the chan/anon stuff. But when the boomers somehow got exposed to qanon their group skills kicked it. They really made the qnon movement huge.
I think is has something to do with being properly socialized. They interacted with other humans in their communities and interest groups. More millennial and gen z are afraid to answer the phone.
The reasons why boomers and earlier generations were able to have that group organization versus millenials would probably fill several books.
