I was thinking this was a blast from the past. Then I noticed it's only from 2012. Then realized that 2012 was 13 years ago.

Boomers are nostalgic for the days they could be racist. Is my generation just nostalgic for web comics?

Perhaps you're nostalgic for when fewer boomers were online

Every social media platform that focused or focuses on posting pictures or video over text was objectively ruined when Boomers joined it.

If anyone can find an exception to that rule, I'd love to be proven wrong.

There were certainly fewer major social media platforms willing to host nazis & nazi content. So that's something to be nostalgic about.

It was all over bbs servers when I was a kid, but we were only there for the warez, and thought it was a joke. Same for AOL chatrooms and university FTP servers.
