As much as i hate the whole generation warfare bullshit, pretty sure GenX were the ones the really started yelling about the problems we have to day. Hell look at any 90s movie with a college campus and they always had some poke at the silly kids protesting global warming, etc. Punk Rock and bands like Rage didn’t just magically appear.
clean that up

There are a disturbingly large number of class traitors for a generation that grew up like that though.

Aww yiss, using your age as an identity… Timeless…

From a climate perspective that’s just how the math works out, nothing to do with identity. The Boomers will avoid the main consequences of climate change due to the delay between action and result.

Boomers are older than the 1970s. The baby boom started at the end of the Second World War and ran until the early/mid 1960s. By the late 1960s we were deep into what used to be called the baby bust but eventually came to be known as GenX. People at the end of the boom from around 1960 to 1964 or so identify more closely with X and sometimes refer to themselves as Jones. I could write more about all of this but it is probably dull. One of the hallmarks of the break between the generations though was the availability of services, notably related to student grants and loans.

You don’t know what age range the boomers are? Heh.

Hey, Boomers had hippies which arguably did some good, but that turned out to be a small percentage of that generation, which itself was huge (hence the name boomers). And now all the ancient people selling out our country in Congress and in the White House are, of course, boomers who won’t leave office apparently even when they die.
Gen X is this tiny blip of a generation. We have our artists, our activists; we have third wave feminism, which honestly, thank you. But we also had fucking Rambo, and “greed is good”, mega-churches and all of that bullshit. And that turned out to be the majority of Xers.
Millennials have a bunch of good chip coming out of that generation, but also vaccine denials and all of that health, conspiracy shit.
The whole naming of generation thing is just marketing and manipulation. Pitting various segments of the working class against each other to to keep us from doing anything about the Epstein class.
Either you’re you’re part of the solution or you’re not, doesn’t matter how old you are.

I checked the election statistics. This meme tracks. Except, it’s just the racial component.

Gen X here - don’t lump me in with fucking boomers! I’m just as angry as y’all are, and have been for longer.
That said, thanks for remembering we exist.

Sadly, I, an Xer, learned yesterday that Peter Thiel was born within two months of me. We’re the same age.
So yeah, (as with all generations) some of us suck.
Ted Cruz is younger than me by three years.

It’s for shaming us 😓
justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
each generation has it’s quirk, due to the situation they grow up in. so it’s also depending on the place you are from.
from my experience the boomers here tend to think they are the only ones doing “the right thing” but their perception rarely expand their own personal environment or five years into the future.
gen x has a high percentage of anti vacc and other conspiracy morons, therefore they make up a good chunk of the late raise of camouflaged fascists.
about millennials i can’t judge too well, because I’m an early one and Gen z is too young.
and yes, I know counter examples in each case. it’s just a tendency i noticed.
