Please don’t buy any propaganda from the capital class that attempts to divide the working classes. We have more in common with our grandparents than with the billionaires oppressing us.
Nah, a fuck ton of people have CPTSD from persistent and consistent narcissistic abuse from their Boomer parents and those who think and act like them.
Its why 1/4 to 1/3 of millennials and gen z have gone no contact with at least one of their parents.
This is a legitimate phenomenon of the Boomer generation being disproportionately absurdly selfish and abusive.
If you’re a millennial and your grandparents are still alive, pretty good chance they’re no where near as fundamentally shitty and horrible as your parents are… significantly less people going no contact with the grandparents.
There can be no solidarity with an abuser.
my grandparents and parents never owned and have been dead for decades and i’m only 33
I understand the sentiment, but the main boomer in my life still thinks I’m lazy despite working 12-14 hours a day 7 days a week.
I found out the other day they also badmouth me and my partner for not having kids. They also think we don’t own a house yet solely because we’re irresponsible.
They also voted for Trump three times and currently believe the economy is thriving better under him than it would have otherwise. They have insane levels of American exceptionalism.
I have nothing in common with them and I will also go practice unplugging a lamp.
This unfortunately, honestly American exceptionalism needs to die and be dead and buried 6 feet under
Exceptionalism is just a cutesy name for hubris and arrogance.
For such an exceptional country it really does look like shit from over here. Glad I don’t live there.
We’re not fighting them because they’re rich, we’re fighting the boomer class because they keep giving the billionaires power because they think we’re lazy and billionaires worked hard for their money
The boomer in the comic has already fallen for the propaganda though. Boomers like the one in the comic are helping the billionaire class oppress us. Are we not allowed to point that out?
At the same time my grandfather told us we could just buy a used car for $100. He had made his money and did not keep up on how expensive these things are now. So while I agree, I do wish they would maybe accept things are more expensive now.
That old guy in the comic is exactly like my boomer parents.
