Such a weird take. As if millennials and Gen Z/X would have behaved any different if we were born in grandma's generation.
And they talk like no one protested in the 1960s about this same stuff during their generation

I mean someone back then was making these anti establishment songs popular:

There was definitely an audience.
You’d think with this attitude they think this kind of idea only just started with the current generation. Current gen are sure in for a surprise in the future when the next generation accuse them of compliance. Their time will come. And they allowed Trump. So they will have a ton to answer for cuz they were supposed to know better what with their blaming the previous generation for the exact things he made worse.
And what came of all that? The old adage that when the hippies got older, they became conservatives. What happened to all those people and how did that entire generation become sellouts?
You seem confident that the newer generations will be exactly like the Boomers but there are already sociological studies showing that the are breaking away from the paths the Boomers took, starting with the idea that getting older means being more conservative becoming apocryphal.
Also you're on some shit if you're pinning Trump getting elected on Gen Z and Millennials. Most Gen Z wasn't even of voting age. Most of the electorate were boomers and older Gen X. Also, we have demographic results from that election. It's definitely not the Millennials and Gen Z who were around and past retirement age in 2016.
Obviously a whole generation didn't become sellouts. As usual it's easier to target a group with bigotry when faced with problems out of our direct control. I find this ageism/generational-ism as tiresome as any other flavour of intolerance, and it's entirely unproductive.
Obviously. But look at the idiot I was replying to in the first place. This guy still thinks it was young white women who voted Trump in.
Is it bad generational statements you don't like, or is it bad generational statements made about a specific generation?
Yeah, it goes both ways, and young women voting trump in is just factually wrong as you say.
Nope. It was white millennial women who voted him in. And it doesn’t matter cuz trump was president while you were alive. That is the exact logic you’re applying to everyone else, trumpster racist hypocrite.
And no one says you’re like the boomers. You’re way behind them on the protests, you ineffective pimple git.
God damn your takes are so fucking hot that you are contributing to global warming.
You got caught spewing bullshit and you know it. There's a link right there that shows you that you're wrong and you'll never acknowledge it. Or maybe you just can't read.
You don't seem to be aware of most of the words you're using so it may be the latter.
Mmk trump lover
Yea but at least now we can blame it on boomers.
I wonder what things Gen Y through Alpha are doing which will negatively affect Gen Beta through Delta...
Personally I'm setting traps in daycare centres.
This is absolutely true. But goes to show it isn't the individuals, the judgement based on actions taken.
