  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.

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get a load of this guy!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  1940s don’t mean boner the same way we mean boner. It’s like the word gay. I had a boss who grew up in the 1950s and mentioned they say “gay” to mean happy and it’s an everyday word, like they would say “we’re gonna have a gay time.”

  I heard an anecdote of an old white American couple visiting Mexico and the wife remarked “wow, there are so many immigrants.”

  What movie is this? Willem Defoe seems to sign up for movies where he is filmed in extremely close shot.

  If there is one thing Salo and Eyes Wide Shut teach us, is that they are into that shit.

  I deleted my original Hotmail after it got hacked. However, I am keeping my Gmail despite Google’s monopoly practices. My Gmail username is from a time when they allow addresses like g_star99@gmail.com or skankymistress@gmail.com.

  Mr Willis is secretly a millionaire who earned $8 million by investing in stocks.

  PS. The name of the person on the link is actually Ronald Read, and yes, he worked as a janitor until the day he died.

  I want to take this opportunity to say that Starmer’s face looks like he is put on the spotlight, confused and doesn’t know what to do, his eyes jolting, jerking and looking around listless with his head, until he confides to you and asks sheepishly: “what do you suppose have me do?”

  Yeah, that explains a lot; aside from being in the pocket of the rich and copying the American Democrat mindset of “wE hAvE tO cApTuRe tHe MoDeRaTeS” (which is a code for don’t anatagonise their rich donors and NIMBYs). The moderate unicorns that neoliberals are trying chase have galloped away long ago. They were called the middle class of the 1990s and 2000s, and now the term middle class itself is questionable at best since the financial crisis. People want more public investment, not austerity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cause and Effect⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That is why I am appalled at Neil deGrasse Tyson’s belief that philosophy is obsolete and exalt science as the ultimate foundation of truth and society. Where and how does he think science first came about? It was called natural philosophy before. And the scientific method has its roots from Socratic questioning. But I know that NDT is too egocentric to change his mind if called out on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Gamepass only ever made sense to people who had time to play or dabble in a sufficiently large amount of games per year

  Exactly. I only played two games before unsubscribing. You have to have so many free time to make the gamepass worth your while and money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just realized that the GenAI craze is like the modern version of Ronald Reagan’s Star Wars project, but somehow both countries got fooled into pouring money into a colossal folly.

  That’s a good point. I was listening to a YouTube podcast on the topic and the hosts did say international competition is the primary reason for developing AI. US rationale is that even if they want to regulate AI, the “bad guy” won’t so it’s better to develop it first before the bad guys. They made the same comparison with the Manhattan Project and the race to beat the Axis from developing nukes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah yes that's my bad⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AI also feeling that existential angst of time.

  Good. So when will the bubble burst?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Plastic Mr. Fantastic⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do wonder, maybe there is similar scheme when it comes to housing affordability. There is too much of a coincidence that much of the Western countries are having the same housing crisis. Most ordinary Westerners are perplexed to find out other countries also have the same issue, or are surprised they can’t find a place to live when they move abroad. There is a deliberate manipulation of the housing market and misinformation. Here in Ireland, after all, foreign vulture funds outbid locals and then either rent or sell properties at extortionate price. And yet, the wrong kind of foreigners are getting blamed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elephant in the room⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was the elephant in 1970. The elephant now is raging around breaking things while half of us smugly scoff at the other half for believing in elephants transgenders and immigrants.

  FTFY.

  But seriously, I know people who are well meaning for the most part, they are very opinionated on culture wars, but I never heard them talk about economics or climate change. Most people don’t even associate migration with climate change, and instead still think of illegal versus legal immigration. News flash, more droughts and floods will only force more people to migrate.

  Labour is trying to please their rich political donors, who tend to be right wing and will always love them, so long as Labour do their donor’s bidding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to bash Americans again⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Being American is not exclusive to black people and thus American culture is a country-wide problem in relation to guns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't like AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s funny is that virtually everyone acknowledges it. Even Trump acknowledges it when he said that “China thinks in decades”. But the Western capitalist culture is too strongly ingrained that the instinct to be greedy overrides any rational sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to bash Americans again⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone in Switzerland has a gun and they don’t shoot eachother up. American society is fucked up on multiple different levels

  Whenever i mention the Swiss having as many guns as the US, if not more, and yet the former has practically zero mass shooting incidents, and pointed out the problem of America is cultural, Americans tend to turn a blind eye to it.
