We DIDN’T swing massively fascist despite the Skull and Bones crowd doing their best to wag the dog
Comment on Only boomers can use this bench. Meanwhile, they're trying to get rid of their own property taxes.
magic_smoke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks agoYour generation was also one of the few to literally fucking try nothing.
Say what you will about boomers, they had the civil rights movement, they had the ant-war movement. You don’t get a Kent state without pissing off the right people. Don’t get me wrong, they all became fucking turncoats at 25 when they fucked off to daddies company, but for a split second they did something that mattered.
Between the civil rights movement and the post-9/11 anti-war movement there was barely any fucking political action here in the states. The only thing I could think of was the LA Riots, and a huge chunk of you assholes spent it praising “roof Koreans.”
The only bit of youthful rebellion your generation had was manufactured and sold to you by your parents generation via music videos pre-packaged by one of three major record labels, and delivered by a cable channel owned and operated by viacom. Fucking VIACOM.
Y’all where a bunch of fucking posers who said “good enough”, because yall collectively thought what came next would be your kids problems and not yours.
