This is the thing I love the most about the younger generations now.
- Boomers: If you don’t like it do something about it
- Gen-X: nah we’re too nihilistic
- Millennials: sorry we’re too busy trying to survive on the scraps you left us
- Boomers: that’s what I thought
Now:
- Boomers: If you don’t like it do something about it
- Gen-Z/Alpha: okay!
- Boomers: no, not like that!
As millenials I think the best thing we can do for the later generations is to just take a back seat. Thanks to boomers our generation has never held political power, and if we accept that and immediately pass to the younger gens instead of trying to make up for lost time I think we will leave them in a better spot.
Definitely not - the boomers are finally on the way out. The boomers have held on way past their time, and we can’t afford to let Gen X have a turn… They’re the ones who need to take a back seat - they’re nearing retirement age if they haven’t hit that point already, millennials are in our 30s and 40s
We need to support and join together with the younger generations. We might not be as young as we used to be, but we’re prime age to start taking office and organizing/enabling
We Gen x have been practicing taking a back seat our entire lives. As a generation we still don’t outnumber the boomers. Or we just crossed them on the graph. Pre covid we were supposed to finally cross around 2027. Covid might have skewed the projections. Kind of explains why we are the way we are. Never could do fuck all unless the boomers also wanted it.
And now the millennials are the largest group. Yall got the numbers. Use ‘em.

Liberals: oh you care about palestine? stop tweeting and do something
*people organize nation-wide protests and actions at great personal risk*
Liberals: you swine. i hope the police beat you into a fine red paste. i hope they come after your families. how dare you
why does everyone lowkey suck at transcription in here lol. no hate just confused. small hate? your claims that this is a “transcription” is deceptive and disingenuous to those reliant on alt text and screen readers.
actually 100% accurate transcript as follows:

Thank you for this, updated my comment. I totally deserve a small bit of hate here because that was a disservice to people who need alt text and screen readers, but for whatever it’s worth a) learning to format things properly for screen readers is just something I still need to learn (and if you could point me towards a good resource for that I would definitely be interested), b) I was reacting to a comment that had been in here earlier (seems to have since been removed) that was claiming to be a transcription but changed the actual text of the OP, so I really just wanted to get something more accurate in here, but I should have said that was my best attempt at a transcription instead of just saying it was one.
db0 isn’t holding back for the lemmy libs and I’m here for it
So its people with a liberal mindset that oppose the protests? This is news to me.
Why would it be? Liberals love the status quo, which includes Zionism. Leftists oppose the status quo.
