Bitching is tantamount to passively asking others to solve problems for you, and antithetical to "Be the change you seek." This could be extended to "Find and try solutions before whining about problems."
Maybe the intent of their blog was to be a personal outlet of frustration, rather than anything constructive? It's hard to say.
More specifically: looking for a particular looking group to blame that has little influence over root cause(s) sounds a lot like scapegoating IMHO. Some trends in life have no specific person or group to blame or shame, while others do to an extent. If younger people these days are looking for specific causes to grotesque inequality, it's not old grannies who are on fixed-income Social Security (pensions), but it sure could be the lack of billionaires sharing their excessive exploitation of automation, deregulation, rollback of worker pay, decrease in jobs and increased worker productivity. People get upset when they can't start families, and blaming them that it's somehow their innate failing when there aren't enough jobs or houses to go around when there are a few people sitting on several trillion USD doesn't square that circle.
PS: I have $10k in student loan debt, have an UC CS/Eng degree that I can't use, bankruptcy, live in a vehicle, and can't hold a job because I must be worse than the Jump to Conclusions Mat-guy: I can't seem to get along with people, and it never(hasn't yet) worked out in a work situation.
