Gen X ignored again, with which we are okay though.

There ya go.

Exactly the comment I was looking for. Tip of the hat to you.

It's the 1% against the working class, not generation against generation.

We should just revive everyone who contributed to this dumpster fire and make them fix it before they can go back to being dead.

Do we REALLY want zombie Reagan and hundreds of others like that running around again? I dunno about you guys, but I'm so tired of living through Interesting Times ™️ and Unprecedented Events ™️. A zombie apocalypse where they don't eat our brains, but just fuck up the economy even more doesn't sound fun.

Make Zombie Reagan take Carter's former place and build homes (by hand) for poor people.

The holy water that leaks out of the sink will probably burn him out of existence anyway.

Boomers and Gen X lived in a paradise, destroyed it and now complain that things are shit.

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Boomers really more than Gen X

[–] CazzoneArrapante@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, 80s and 90s were paradise too.

Let's just go back to those decades and never leave.

The systems that destroyed our society were created by boomers and Regan. They just took time to work.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The system in question is capitalism. It's been around longer than any of the named generations. It was tamed a little before the first world war (it enabled the first world war to be a world war). It needs to be more restricted

[–] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Gen X did nothing to improve the dumpster fire that boomers created. All they do is whine about how "powerless" they were

[–] Moah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 month ago

To be fair, us genX did nothing about anything and just felt cool wallowing in our fake cynicism of "why do anything when nothing matters" so we're probably half as much to blame as the boomers

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 month ago

Boomers see the world wildly and in wild ways

You don't need to give air to a fascist myth

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

thanks, now my brain will forever connect this myth to gay sex

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

This is bullshit. Boomers, genXers and now millenials have been fighting against wild capitalism for decades, and a lot of them died fighting or are rotting in jail right now.

I Think You Should Leave is such a gold mine of meme templates.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There's even an ITYSL meme maker & quote database

I don't know what any of this is!
