Nobody ever remembers Gen X

While I agree that it is a distraction from the real war at large, the class war, I do want to point out that it very much is real, as you have actual people out there who argue about stupid shit like this. Sad, but that's humans for ya.

I used to think generational fighting is stupid, but the stats are undeniable, boomers own much of the wealth. Boomers are least likely to vote far right, but they are more likely to vote down affordable housing because they don't want their property value to drop. That is an indirect support for the far right, because it leads to younger people being resentful and voting for populist far right who promise them the stars and blame the wrong types of people. This is a trend across the world. Generational and class conflict are one and the same in this case. Sorry to older folks of Lemmy, but older generations have become greedy.

Hey!!! We're important! We were Pepsi: Generation Next and we saw Jurrassic Park in our teens, shit like that

Giga-cringe if the people upvoting me are the same ones that downvoted you

So are my Gen x friends, but they all shut me down if I say anything that implies that Democrats are nothing more then the lesser evil. I ended up leaving a discord server I made because they were arguing with me if I posted anything critical of Biden and look at me like I have two heads when I say that climate change action should take priority over the economy. Most of them believe that recycling plastic works. They've completely bought into the narrative that keeps them enriching the powerful.

I just wish most gen x were actually disaffected and alienated and not just constantly demanding relevance. You were a latchkey kid and you have better references than us, get over it.

It always is and and always will be. It was meant as a comment on how every generation when its young looks around and thinks that its time to change things and 'this' generation is going to do something. Every generation throws a hero up the pop charts.

I guess so, but blaming your sadness on someone you promised to love is a dick move if they never did anything wrong, and most wives never did anything wrong

We have talked too long. Back to the batcave.

The top level comment made a claim that Gen X is de facto the best. I just pointed out an observable fact that suggests otherwise. And then apparently my comment that Gen X is perhaps not actually better than every other generation then triggered you so hard that you had to comment calling it “bitching and whining because everything isn’t about [my unknown generation]”. Lol.

Correct. Also the most boomer way you could have said it without somehow implying that you hate your wife.

Lemmy is full of boomers

I'll let myself out
