There’s a difference between what you think I said and what I actually said. But I understand your kneejerk response. It’s often the case when someone refutes a dearly held belief such as yours and your boomer nonsense. I’m sure your “provable” complaints are every bit as solid as the right wing’s complaints about immigrants, gays, trans people, people of color, etc. Can you even define “boomer”? Does boomer include everyone born during a specific range of years? From around the world? Of color, or just one race? My definition: it’s an advertisement term for white Americans, middle class or above, born 1945-64. The abysmal voter turnout over the last half century isn’t their fault. The world not being an affordable utopia isn’t their fault either. But sure, pin all the frustrations of the modern world on one generation, nobody from the centuries before and nobody since. It sounds so simple and easy.

Yes, grandma started the industrial revolution 200 years ago. Thanks Na Na…

I assure you, from the perspective of the boomer blamers, everything I said is not trite. It might illuminating or it might be infuriating. But it’s something they need to hear.

Yeah seems like there’s a constant influx of more old people every year… Sooner than you think, you’ll be one of them. But by then you’ll blame the world on the younger generations.

Do you?

In the context of the post that was yet another “it’s the boomers’ fault”, generalization is just fine. Nuance and Lemmy don’t get along very well. But sure, “it’s not all ___ people” works. Just don’t phrase it that way….

I said people, as in people in general, like to blame others. I followed that with differences between the current state of left and right wing in the U.S. And I was sarcastic about it when I used the word “diversity” in regards to the multitude of people the right hates vs the left shitting on the elderly because shitting on anyone else will be met with a great amount of scorn.

I haven’t looked up voting statistics lately. Have you?

That’s not at all what I said, but I get it, reading is hard.

Vote them out. People complain about the elderly in Congress and then promptly vote them right back in. That enough people are considering them the best qualified is telling. Run some quality younger candidates who talk practical solutions, not idealistic boilerplate…

You all collectively are dumping on boomers to satisfy a need to blame others for not having what you want or think you deserve. The right wing does the same thing only they have a greater diversity in who they hate. Lemme know how griping on social media is helping out with the situation…

His official explanation:

“While I share the author’s views on the importance of protecting these important healthcare services, extradition is an exclusively executive function. When discretionary, that discretion is appropriately placed with the Governor. I am troubled by the precedent that would be set if an outgoing administration agreed with the Legislature to erode the executive authority of an incoming Governor based on their shared policy preferences, regardless of how righteous and well-intended those actions may be.”

He doesn’t want to set the precedent that such actions can be mandated in advance by an outgoing administration.

He looked so much better in those proof of life pictures from a month ago….

The “Iron Man” parody that starts off, “I AM SANTA CLAUS…!”

Ok yeah that one too. Insufferable greed is rampant enough…

All you wannabe hipsters trying to bond over mutual disdain for that song when the real enemy is “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer”

Including or not including Yakuza violence?

I don’t know who actually started the Boomers vs Millennials gripefest, but both of these advertising demographics can just shut up.
