Ok good luck

CNN is next. Ellison just bought Time Warner HBO CNN, even after a half billion dollar loss over at Paramount Viacom CBS. All of those companies need to be broken up and made independent of each other (as they once were).

I said none of that. And the older generation “not standing up to this shit”? Quite a few did. And quite a few in previous generations did as well.

And quite a few people from whatever “generation” you fancy yourself a member also work for a better world.

I’ve heard stats presented that way all my life, usually in terms of “immigrants”, “Jews”, “Catholics” , etc. You want to look up some stats? Look at voter turnout amongst young people. Or the population of the United States vs available land, 1960’s to present. Or look up post war economic booms and how they affect things.

Here we are, with decades of low voter turnout, a waning economy that is completely gamed not by an age group but by the wealthy, and too many people to allow the old ways of “growth” to work anymore.

And somehow amidst that we’ve decided that part of our very identity is the range of years in which we were born. Who decided what a boomer or millennial or gen X/Z/Alpha is? Was it a consensus amongst social scientists? Or was it something more useful for marketing strategy?

I reject your comment outright. Everything you said was perpetuated (or not) by the entirety of people living in that/this time. We are all part of this world and othering a group of people, i.e. scapegoating others does jackshit for solving our problems.

The repost perhaps. My original post was definitely not. Tankies are an odd bunch. Never heard of them prior to Lemmy. Much like the far right, their world view seems to be entirely self-contained, with no room for perceptive beyond their brethren.

Gen X owes you nothing

lol old people hate. Because blaming any other group for the world’s problems is very bad…. It’s as if the boomer generation was obligated to create utopia; not any generation previous or since. Just them. And when the last of them have died off, the youngins will scapegoat whoever is old in that time. So Millennials, you might want to get your excuses ready; you didn’t leave the world a better place for them…

’ve posted some made up memes in various places over the years and hoped to see a repost some day. And here is one! Neat-o. So here’s the story behind it. On another site, someone posted a t-shirt idea of just the text. In the comments, a second person joked that the text would go nice on a Gadsden flag. And I thought hey I can that, so I did. The original context was slamming MAGA and similar ilk. The repost here is a bit ambiguous. Are there words missing in the title?

San Francisco has new Teslas in droves, oddly. Not sure who is buying them.

We need to set an example that will resonate throughout history. So, we eat them all.

200 million Americans in 1970, 340 million now. The dream of a nice house with a big yard is limited by space; space that also requires farmland, forests, parks, etc… We need dense apartment buildings, not houses.
