      Yeah, took me a while to realise generational stereotypes etc. were more inflammatory culture war, as much as it often seems ‘in good spirits’.

      Entelechy is a new word too ty

      Yup as soon as I saw gen Z based I knew. 5-10 years ago this would have been the opposite, it’s always the generation of new adults that thinks they’re hip and cool while looking down on the “kids”. When I was younger we (millennials) all thought we were the coolest and made fun of gen Z for being cringe. Now gen Z thinks they’re cool but soon enough they’ll be old and lame too and gen Alpha will have the spotlight.

      Just wait till a kid hits you with “sir” for the first time and then looks at you weird when you insist you’re not that old.

        Do people still say “sir”? I have only heard it in movies and stuff.

      "In her recollection, her interest in Trump was prompted by his positions on trade. However, looking back six years later she confessed, “I’m going to forget all the facts.” She tried to recall: “I did my research back then into what was happening with Paris Trade Accord [a reference to the climate agreement that the Obama administration had entered into] and things … I didn’t like it, and Trump was against it. I said, ‘Ok, great.’”

      This is roughly consistent with Bonier’s analysis of Gen X voters, which has found that they are very concerned about the economy, somewhat concerned about retirement (although nowhere near as much as Baby Boomers) and not terribly concerned about issues like the environment or guns."

      ☝️ these are not serious people. 👇

      " In her first term, she’s sponsored legislation to ban vaccine mandates, to prohibit libraries from making obscene materials available to minors and to nullify federal enforcement of gun control laws in the state."

    Generational warfare is pretty cringe. The chart isn’t even right, too. X was the highest percentage voting for trump generationally. I’m ashamed of my brethren.

    Boomers wearing beanies is based now?

      No, the generation that killed Nazis is the silent generation. Boomers are their children.

        My mom’s dad was 10 in the 40s and was too young to serve, he was the silent generation. My dad’s dad was 20 in the 40s and served in the army, he was the greatest generation.

    Super cringe to say cringe unironically in 2025. Clearly, OP must be either silent generation or gen X because they called them based. Gen Z know not to say cringe anymore. I would like to say shut the fuck but that is a waste of energy as OP is probably one of the silent generation, which I conclude based on the fact that OP refuses to elaborate on this post, which is a clear indicator that OP is silent.
