      Gen X had it’s Part in Memes and grew up. Like tech savvy boomers, Generation X seems predominantly stuck in the middle tier of the career ladder, overshadowed by their Boomer parents. However, they maintain a benevolent and generous attitude toward younger generations. They are fully aware that they will likely never own property, and having children is a significant risk. This painful realization hit them some time ago, hence their sense of empathy. The later you’re born, the more pain you inherit.

        We will age and die in our office chairs, and our Zalpha children will burn our bodies to fuel their air conditioners. We will finally find our purpose. Don’t worry about us: we are content enough.

        You realise Gen Xers are all in the 40-65 age bracket now, right? Nearly all way beyond the deciding-on-children age. And heaps of them own property (at least where I live).

      We’ve been around for like sixty years now. If we were milk we would have developed culture. But we’re not so we didn’t.

        That’s not the point they made. They pointed out that Gen X isn’t in it, which is appropriate being the silent generation. They were punk rock as kids, but reformed the moment they had to and didn’t try to make any sort of change as a whole.

          The Silent Generation is an actual generation and it was the one before Boomers and after the Greatest. Biden is a Silent Gen. Too young to kill Nazis, not part of the Boom, no one cares about Korea, they were just old enough to get the Cold War brainwashing and fuck up everything with Reaganism.

    I get so confused with people portraying Gen Z as these radical socialists when time after time voting shows they are anything but. Especially Gen Z men as a group are extremely conservative. At least in the US.

    PLEASE stop this.

    It’s not left or right

    It’s not this generation or that generation

    It’s not black or white

    It’s not men or women

    These are distractions amplified through for profit media and captured education to keep us undermining one another, can you not see that?

    As ever, it Owners vs Laborers. I don’t mean your 3.111110 shares of apple in your 401k BTW.

    The owners leverage all of the above to keep us at each other’s throats instead of looking up.

    Don’t hate the class traitors like McDonald’s lady, pity her. She was made into a self hating beaten dog by guess who?

    We. Have. A. Common. Blight. The ones killing us and our planet for short term profit.

    The one’s perpetually encouraging the poors tear eachother apart over every petty difference to maintain their class occupation and subjugation of us.

        I’ve never heard a solid conservative argument.

        no, because I’m racist isn’t a sound reason to do things lmao

        Especially with the Caesar-ish garb, it conflates boomers with owners

        Most owners are boomers, but few boomers are owners.

        The owners are our enemy.

        It’s important to maintain focus on who the enemy is. This is subtle but derails entire movements.

        The owner’s bread and butter is sowing division between the peasants. They are very efficient at it. Kind of their signature move.
