    I think there are boomers on both sides. Boomers are dying out by the way. Gen X are entering their 60s (the age depicted in your meme).

    When young Joe Biden dies we’ll all know the ladder has shifted, and we’ll need some “Gen-X did this to us memes” - so better get them ready if you want to perpetuate the cycle.

      Then why hasn’t the other side already won against the malicious side? How did Gen X convince Boomers they are entitled to so much destruction and not a lick of responsibility? How have boomers convinced you this is a perpetual game we must adhere to?

        I’m talking about cultural reproduction as per the Marxists at The Frankfurt School wrote about (nothing to do with boomers secretly indoctrinating Gen-Xers or whatever shitzoposting BS you’re on about). But yeah, I get it, you want to ignore what previous generations (even the Marxists) have looked at (they’re all one collective bad guy). Why are you even replying to me? I already said I understand your angry-boi venting. You think you venting via memes will stop Capitalist culture. Okay, cool, good luck with “slacktivism” as they called it in the early 2000s.

        Unsurprisingly it didn’t change much then.

          I think much farther than the mass deceiving class:
          what are we doing for our comrades’ future, here, and now?

          I know not supporting my oppressors is one thing I can clearly act upon.
          What are you doing to liberate us?

            I don’t try to misdirect class politics into generational conflicts… and I don’t try to make online discussions personal credibility wars.

            No offense, but I don’t believe you’re of the personality type who can do much for the left. MAYBE you can accidentally act as an agent provocateur for the wealthy. But I don’t see the “angry all the time” angsty teen as much of a model to follow. Like I said, you go vent, you do you. Life is frustrating, I understand, but I’m not here for it.

              Then do what I requested of you as your single intersecting request: Delete all your comments to this thread. If you utterly believe everyword you just didn’t edit, then remove yourselves from bourgeoisie apologia, entirely. Denial of your oppression is many times more deescalating than just deleting your online presence.

                I think you’re a right winger. I think you’re here to push cultural politics against the left. I don’t think you’re a leftist at all.

                  Then your perspective is all screwed up, as I am in an anarchist instance, posting in an anarchist/c/, and precisely condemn a generation oppressing me&you?
                  I am not a Senator. Compost them.

                    God it’s ironic when Anarchists can’t help but sow division. Just the number of times you tried to make it personal, or push purity politics… such ridiculous behaviours. Clearly you’ve never met an elder anarchist in your life? You think there’s just been no boomer anarchists before you, in a similar position to you? Or they just that they didn’t do anything?

                    You don’t think you’ll be one, one day?
