Well then their generations are probably not defined by the population boom caused by WW2 soldiers returning home to the only untouched country?

well that one at least applies to australia as well so it's ok I guess.

Also I like to think of it as they had the front row seats to watch the whole thing go 'boom' over the last 60 years

god drat at this point they aren't even generational terms, "millennial" = leftist who want good things for people (and, in general "young people these days"), "boomer"=selfish old gently caress and in between are the politically helpless who grew up in the time when the Boomers had an iron fist control. After that it's more of a class divide. not every line is super hard and clear, just accept it and move on

I find it interesting that Donald Trump, noted learner of things and history nerd, successfully identified Andrew Jackson as the non-Buchanan president he looks up to, because they're terrible in similar ways (except Jackson was more competent and Trump would not have handled the nullification crisis as well)

At least you guys and the Zoomers own it. Millenials are the most kicked-dog generation. Boomers killed our futures, turned our generation name into the ultimate pejorative, and most of us believed it (see all the "I'm not really a millenial" memes on facebook for people born in the late 80s/early 90s). I mean, have you ever hear anyone say "I'm a millenial" with an absence of shame, let alone pride? We're pathetic, either still indoctrinated with a self-hating boomer mindset in a world where we have no chance to succeed, or begging the Zoomers to save us.

Right-wing shitheads are apparently taking their cues from Trump and not bothering to proof moronic views they post at all anymore, instead just sharting them out there as quickly as possible.

Why do simple lovely typos that should have been caught by even the most cursory effort and care piss me off almost as much as the actual reprehensible views expressed? It's like they can't even be asked to be assholes in an effective coherent manner, and it breaks my brain all out of proportion.

Why would you say it is racist? Astrology is at least as valid as "millennial" vs "boomer".

Chinese zodiac man. You get an animal and an element based on what year you were born. You can go a lot deeper if you want to, it's astrology so there is a lot of stuff. If we're going to deep dive into where "Gen X" ends and "Millennial" begins with a "Xennial" bridge why not just use astrology? It all has the same accuracy. Possibly more! I laughed when I saw that fire dogs need to be careful not to over eat junk food.
