    Come on man one generation has voted to fuck our eyes out for the last 50 years. Look at all the 65 plus politicians still hoarding the power and wealth, still winning elections… Who helped destroy the occupy Wall Street movement because fuck them kids my 401k retirement money… Who is indoctrinating their grandkids into hate and division currently? You didn’t stand up then you aren’t gonna stand up now. At least that generation could be honest and admit they were lied to. After Nixon and Reagan you voted in two bushes and a double trump term you all can get fucked.

      That is a nice parody of the nonsense strawman arguments used by generation warriors. Because that is a parody, right? Right?

        Boomers failing to take responsibility for something nahhhh definitely parody /s. It isn’t even in the radar how this is the consequences of their actions.

          Boomers. Yes all people born between those years are completely the same. From wall street to the punks, to the folk that marched at Selma. From the poor and disenfranchised to the rich and wealthy. To those of the north and those from the south.

          People who were born in america then are the same as people who immigrated. Just because they were born in the same time span.

          Those who were exploited by the military industrial complex are the same as those who profited from it? Right? That’s what you are saying. That they are all equally responsible because they grew up in the same era.

          Its a lazy construct that allows people to feel like they can blame indiscriminately without taking responsibility and agency.

          A gross generalisation of people based on nothing but a common timeframe that erases their struggles and their successes.

          It should be class war but you fell for the lie of generational war.

          Be better.

      So, black folk of that generation are the same as white folk of that generation? So trans folk of that generation are the same as the rich white politicians of that generation?

      See how stupid that all sounds?

      That’s you that is.

      Also when you call me you… I’m not even American you vapid hoser. I didn’t vote any of your shit show in, and yet we still all have to live with it. In a way you are more responsible for all of those things than I’ll ever be.

      • unless what you’ve written is an intentional parody, in which case, that’s brilliant work.

        You know what sounds stupid you saying “black folk”. You know what sounds even stupider. “I’m not american, but I have read and consumed enough American produced propaganda and I feel really informed on a subject.”
        Unchecked Capitalism doesn’t have a race, gender, or sexual identity.
        I hope you enjoy explaining your bullshit to your grandkids while the worlds climate is scorched and raze.

          But saying All Boomers did this is the way forward. You are a nuanced progressive, and I wish you well on fixing things from this perspective. Good luck soldier.
