  The true forgotten generation. But Gen X are eating popcorn while the rest are having generation war.

      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.

    I wish Gen X would shut the fuck up like you say they do. Reeks of desperate middle child every time.

  Traitors. They joined with the Boomers once they all turned 30.

      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.
