It's the most Gen X thing that Gen X gets left out of the generation wars and couldn't give a damn.
Their motto is literally whatever. It's unfortunate but I wonder how much they even try to properly inform themselves at this point.
Tbf, many have families and homes that require them to submit themselves fully to the brutal dick of capitalism and relinquish all else, unlike millennials and gen z. Because of that, I'm pretty sure if given the choice, gen x would absolutely prefer to fight to maintain the status quo as they're fully committed to it - that is to say, many likely believe "this is just the way things are" and things are only bad if you're lazy or you lose your government-issued bootstraps therefore fundamental change like we've never seen before isn't needed and is actually a radical position to hold.
It's a bit of a bummer since they have tons of experience and executive function skills later generations seem to lack/struggle with
As a GenX I'd say you're probably not too wrong about many of us but there's still many that are very anti-establishment. If you're unionised check out some of your most militant union folks, chances are they'll be GenX. As for those executive function skills...my super late ADHD diagnosis would like a word if I remember/want to take my meds :/
