    Yes, 100% this. There are plenty of boomers that got reamed by various elitist schemes, too. People right on the cusp of retirement only to have everything wiped out by something like an Enron or the real-estate bubble and they get to keep working another 10+ years…I think people have rose-colored glasses when it comes to the things boomers faced, too. It was not all sunshine and roses for everyone in that age bracket. It is lunacy to suggest that it was/is.

    There may be some boomers doing nefarious things like Blackstone, driving up the cost of living for everyone, but I bet there are some very, very young people in schemes like that, too, making lots of money. Or individuals like fElon’s boyz - I don’t think the Dogebags are boomers. And fElon himself is Gen X…

    Then there are headlines that I see like this that run counter to virtually everything you’d hear about Gen Y in recent years:

    Lastly when the bullshit inter-generational warfare is whipped up, I remember this…

      fElon

      You call him like that every time. Please stop. It feels like Russian propaganda bot is talking. It’s bad and not funny to distort people’s names/surnames

        Fuck that. This “high road” shit is what led us here in the first place. He dead names constantly. He’s a “big, stwong alpha,” he can take it.

        If Elon can’t respect people’s names and allows deadnaming on Twitter, I think it’s only fair to not respect his name.

          This is some whataboutism. If he did this, it doesn’t mean that it should be acceptable.

            Respect is earned. And generally mutual. You don’t respect people, I won’t respect you. I see no reason to respect anything about that Nazi.

              In this case *they just call them by their surname, as they do with strangers, and you’ll look like adequate person

                You can. Or you can disrespect them. I think the latter is a better option since he is a Nazi.

                Do you think people refrained from giving Nazis meanie nicknames in WWII?
