Xer's never really got over that "everyone is dumb except for me" phase that most ditch after they actually get kissed.

[–] logos@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

Meh. Whatever man.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I'll give them cred for not being like the boomers.

We should be fighting the 1%, not each other.

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You forgot the fact that the 1% keep us poorly educated and propagandized against our own interests on purpose.

We're so fucking stupid as a result, that Americans believe the following unironically:

I've met some people that are that fucking stupid.

It's incredible to me that they manage to put on pants and get to work on time each morning.

I'm so tough. I'm the toughest. Gen Z and Boomers aren't tough enough. I'm the though one. Yeah, I might have been neglected as a child but that made me tough, definitely not emotionally stunted. Tough tough tough. I'm tough.

—Average Gen X'er to the mirror every morning

Meanwhile gen x are the most conservative generation

I'm near the start of the millennial generation, my older brothers are Gen x and more in-between than I am. There's about 5-6 years between all of us and we represent two generations in varying degrees.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xennials

Xennials are the micro-generation of people on the cusp of the Generation X and Millennial demographic cohorts.

Many researchers and popular media use birth years from 1977 to 1983,[1] though some extend this further in either direction.[2][3] Xennials are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood. Xennials are almost exclusively the children of baby boomers and came of age during a rapidly changing period that was the 1990s.

TBH I blame Gen X the most. Boomers are going extinct soon, Gen X at the oldest are about 60 or more.

This fucked up world is Gen X's world.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

Ehh. They mostly rode the coattails of the boomers. I dunno if I can reasonably get angry at them for taking advantage of the opportunity that the boomers made for them to prosper.

It's the boomers that own, and frequently still run the companies that are ruining the economy. That's for fucking sure. Gen x just got a free ride.

Of all the people I know, the Gen x are the most likely to just be coasting through life because they were downright given all the opportunities and never really struggled for much.

The top labels are reversed. I doubt a lesbian icon would be something boomers would appreciate.

Not to mention her capacity for change.

[–] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

Millennial spotted.

Pitting 'generations' against each other is a classic tactic to divide the people on meaningless bullshit. Don't fall for it.

Culture war is a means to distract us from class war

[–] Bleys@lemmy.world 63 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Gen X was Trump’s biggest supporter in the last election. More than boomers even.

Obviously not true of every Gen X’er, but when Gen Z talks about boomers they’re usually inadvertently referring to Gen X.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Gen X was Trump’s biggest supporter in the last election.

We were never known for our political acumen, I'm afraid.

"Caring about things is cringe, like, gag me. Voting doesn't do ANYTHING so I sit it out unlike you chumps, and I'm telling my kids the same thing."

"Why aren't any interests represented? That must be somebody's fault. Somebody who isn't me. Hey, did you get your tickets for Star Wars Celebration yet?"

That Gen Z fighter is going to turn around, hit their trainer in the nuts and call them a boomer.

The world has been fighting Boomers for 4 decades. They're not all villains, but certainly the majority of villains are Boomers.

The generations are:

  • Boomer: anybody older than me who I disagree with.
  • Millennial: anybody younger than me who I disagree with
  • Gen Z: anyone who uses whichever social networks are taboo at the moment.

The are no other generations.

Let's ignore discrepancies in economics, geography, race and culture and suggest people behave, en mass, based on the decades they were born in.

This is just astrology for the politically feeble.

The comic is funny, but only in the sense that is a media presentation trying to make an age war rather than class war.

Weren't the statistics from the last election a big deal because Gen Z actually didn't align with Millennials?

I'm pretty sure I saw people getting mad at the number of young voters who opted to vote for Trump

Could be wrong though

[–] Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (11 children)

No, they're just less left leaning than Millennials were at that age. 66% of Millennials voted for Obama, whereas only 54% of Gen Z voted for Harris.

You can always tell you've become a stupid person when any of these generation terms come up in your speech in any capacity.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 15 points 1 week ago

As a millennial I ... welll ... uh ... fuck you're right

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Typical. Slacking, unseen.
