It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Yeah, boomers in 1988 would have been about the same age as millennials are now, and this kind of nonsense was not still being regularly written about them back then. Nor was it for gen Xers in 2007 when they were the same age.
Boomers in 1988 were the only coherently identified generation outside of WW2 veterans. They were also called the "Me generation" too.
I'd also point to the "yuppie" phenomenon. Newspapers back then could not stop writing about yuppies coming to destroy property values and how suburbs would all die. It was actually pretty similar to the accusations that millennials kill various industries.
The yuppies in the late ‘80s in their mid-late 20s would have been largely gen Xers.
WTF (what the fortnite?) Based boomers?!?!?!
With Xers, they mostly called us disaffected. We were the "Whatever" generation. They said we lacked ambition.
