A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

GenX has never held any type of power, nor will they ever - not political, not economic, not financial. The Boomers were always like "Wait your turn", but they never bothered turning anything over regardless of what we fought for, or how hard.

And now the Millennials have come up on the other side. And I'm just so tired of fighting to make things happen, or even just to try to preserve things, that that's okay. I did what I could to make things better, and I'm happy for a less weary cohort to take over.

I have fought for over three decades. Never got anywhere. The more effort I put in, the less I eventually got back.

I'm out. Throwing in the towel. Not fighting more unwinnable battles only to then be slandered by the very people you fought to protect.

It's one big free for all since we lower class types seem to be fundamentally incapable of organising.

Only war is the class war, but as long as there are those who want to forgo that for a culture war we have to fight on that front as well. Fucking capitalists.

So, the new Silent Generation (which only got its first and only president in 2021)
