Willa Rogers posted:Or, as I like to point out, how do you think your lives will improve when the last of the boomers die & dead-eyed technocrats like harris & buttigieg are running things? our lives would improve in one very noticeable way: there would be no more boomers maybe you yourself are a decent person but your generation overwhelmingly sucks rear end

Well they're cutting back on the Koolaid so they're gonna have problems getting people to drink it when it isn't there.

I'm dead soon anyway; it's the younger generations that are doomed by buying into capital's tropes, bc its bullshit will be going on long after the last boomer has died. If there's a "weird personal need" it's among PMC making 10x what I do telling me how great I have it, lol, or being intent on ignoring the fact that a chunk of elders live in poverty, especially those who grew up marginalized by society for not being straight white men & whose lifetime incomes were impacted by that marginalization.

I get it Willa, I really do. I used to get upset when women would get together and say stupid poo poo like "gently caress men! We would be so much better without them" and I always would had interject myself in and start off "Actually not all men are like that" But I've learned over time that they don't intend to mean me and myself personally when they're venting about men. When we talk about Boomers, we aren't talking about you at all but the trope of those who are Boomers. SlimGoodbody posted:there is the very real issue of a humongous percentage of Boomers being irretrievably propagandized shitheads who, despite never really owning much capital, will ruthlessly defend the privilege of the ownership class to dry-fist into prolapse any kind of labor power, worker solidarity, or reforms of the status quo until it dies and gets kicked into a gutter to rot, at which point said Boomers will proudly give themselves a gold star because they think a boss somewhere likes them. This is exactly the type of Boomers I had in my mind. There are plenty of people in their late 20's who have the total Boomer mindset.

As I've said (repeatedly, lol) it doesn't have anything to do with feeling personally insulted & everything to do with the austerity freaks having achieved their 40-years-in-the-making goal of substituting generational warfare in lieu of class warfare. As I've also said (repeatedly, lol) it's using a broad brush that ignores the marginalization that non-white, non-male, non-straight boomers experienced over their lifetimes. Go buck wild slamming boomers! Tell us how horrible we are! Just don't be surprised when I've been dead for 20 years & come back to haunt your old age saying "I told you it was about class & not generations!"

Wasn't saying you're wrong but... ok suppose you succeed in this crusade. Just imagine it: nobody is allowed to use the B-word when writing low-effort shitposts again, from right now until the end of time. All crab-bucket categorism is restricted to making GBS threads on Accepted Targets you've signed off on and everyone is required to concentrate all their hate and anger against white cismale elected officials. Does that sound like a thread you want to participate in?

Tell us how horrible we are! Seriously, I'm peacing out within a few years, sooner rather than later if lifespans by income actuarial tables are correct. I'm pointing out to my comrades, as someone who's watched this particular morality play come to fruition over the past four decades, that blaming boomers, as opposed to blaming capital, will neither improve your lives nor make them better after the last boomer has kicked it. But if it makes you feel better to buy into what austerity freaks (and freaks like shrike & thorn) are selling, keep on keeping on.

jesus christ, I spent most of 2010-2012 arguing with freaks like evilweasel & LL that obama was wrong about his grand bargain & that "entitlements" was a loaded phrase but I never thought I'd be arguing with leftists who are licking the poo dripping from shrike's rear end in a top hat, lol.

Thorn Wishes Talon posted:im from the best generation: the millennials millennials largely overwork themselves until they burnout and hate life. They are bitter and lap up their bosses poo poo while asking for more as their bosses stomp on their faces. GenZ doesn’t take anyone’s poo poo and will leave a job if another person offers a dollar more or at the first sign of a toxic workplace. Gen Z is the best generation. I say this as a 36y/o millennial. FlapYoJacks has issued a correction as of 00:11 on Apr 7, 2023 |

Always worth remembering that olds are considered a heavily conservative bloc largely because being poor and being a worker with no capital is a death bottleneck that only leaves suburban fascist vampires alive. Rest in solidarity, comrade. I don't know whose generation will live to see capitalism die, but I appreciate you carrying the torch of socialism through those years where it was very unpopular to do so. My generation couldn't have picked it up without you. 🫡

i just had to help my friend figure out the ACA website, they still hide the plan view w/o making an account because they dont want people just able to see financial numbers! he's potentially switching jobs to a startup that doesn't offer healthcare and trying to figure out the math on it the good thing for him is he isn't married to his decade+ partner, so despite her having health care through her job he isn't disqualified from getting a subsidy . I did have to walk him through the delights of projecting future income , mathing out if you can get cost sharing reductions by calculating 140% of the FPL and how realistic that is for his family size, how you can avoid a premium cliff at 400% of federal poverty line by using a tax refund to add contributions to the past tax year's IRA, all the greatest hits! truly it is a technocrat's dream
