I don't think it's that justified to cast 20th century generations as villains as a whole. Most people definitely didn't possess a murderous intent to erase human race. And I certainly can't blame people for overdoing it with environmental harm when the increase in their own quality of life was tied to those technologies causing the harm. It feels like blaming a starving person who just got access to abundant food for giving themselves refeeding syndrome
