blowing up the world's energy infrastructure is an American problem.

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Sure in the way it’s an everyone problem.

I wonder what % of Republican boomers that support the war in Iran also refused, in one way or another, to fight in Vietnam.

Would be an interesting stat to see.

That was a pretty common evolution they went through. My mom was a free love hippie that is now basically a Nazi. She can't understand why I cut her out of my life.

The hippie to fascist pipeline is real. Their tendency to distrust the establishment means they also fall for typical fascists tactics like putting the blame on the establishment and a secret cabal in power for all their problems. Like in my country during Covid lockdowns these so called “spiritual” people voted for the blatantly fascist party.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

That sounds plausible, but I don't think that's the case for my mom. I think she was just going with the trend, trying to be in the "in group". I can say with 100% certainty a big part of her Nazi transition is the lack of empathy that she has.

I really don't understand how that shift is actually possible.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

They were going with the flow.

Well, there's the president for one

Most well-to-do and simultaneously selfish generation of people in human history?

Quite likely.

No the final fuck your is when they leave whatever money they have left to their goddamn church.

Two words: reverse mortgage.

You misspelled Republicans

The Venn diagram is a circle

Until class traitors (boomers) spend decades voting against your future interests.

The class war is the priority, but it's ok to be mad at assholes pulling up the ladder behind them.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Considering the complete lack of correlation between issues that voters care about and the policies that politicians actually enact, I don’t think that merely voting makes boomers blameworthy.

Studies have repeatedly shown that politicians in both parties do not act in accordance with what their voters want, so clearly voting does not affect policy.

[–] t3rmit3@beehaw.org 1 points 4 hours ago

Sure, but the bourgeoisie have convinced a large portion of the would-be proletariat to side with them. So insomuch as the average 'soldier' in this war is more likely to encounter a coal-rolling boomer than Elon Musk, there is more to this than pure class politics.

The picture is a still from their rap video.
Why yes, they do use the n-word.

But was made as a joke, not just out of touch boomers.

This isn't accurate. They are also calling us lazy and saying we don't want to work hard.
