The sixties and seventies were the beginning of civil rights, women's rights, environmentalism, distrust of government and big business, opposition to unnecessary war and Nixon's resignation. Sounds like they changed a lot of things.
Yes, those things happened but let’s dive into your answer for a moment. Baby boomers are by definition born after WWII. That would make the oldest in their 20’s and early 30’s in the 60’s and 70’s. At that age they had zero political influence meaning it was "The Greatest Generation" who pushed through those societal changes because they were the ones in power. So, no, they didn’t change any of the things you listed.
Oh, you think ww2 vets were going on Freedom Rides into Alabama? Nope, those were 20-year-olds. Also teens and 20somethings were doing sit-ins and protests in front of gov. and corporate offices and college administration buildings to bring about change. Once out of college, they didn't just evaporate into thin air. They entered society and effected change from within the government and by being the largest voting bloc. By then they had all the political influence.
The "Greatest Generation" were the ones who wanted to keep things as they were in the 50s which was the society they built. They were the ones who called out the riot squads on the protesters and the National Guard who shot down students at Kent State. They were the businessmen and politicians who were scared shitless because their kids were rejecting their outmoded values.
If you think the boomers had everything and left you nothing, then do what they did. Break the system. Tune in, turn on and drop out.
