Because this generational strife nonsense is the most succesful distraction from the actual class war which is occurring. If they can get people in the same exploited situation to fight amongst themselves for any reason except their economic status (age, skin colour, gender, nationality etc.), then the oligarchs have succeeded a little bit with their propaganda efforts.

Divide an conquer has been a strategy used since the dawn of civilization, and it has always been very successful.

Powerful people fear unity, because then they are under the threat of losing power.

Balsy supporting the oligarchy with a tasty name like cheese toastie.

A little appetizer before the main course.
