I used to think generational fighting is stupid, but the stats are undeniable, boomers own much of the wealth. Boomers are least likely to vote far right, but they are more likely to vote down affordable housing because they don’t want their property value to drop. That is an indirect support for the far right, because it leads to younger people being resentful and voting for populist far right who promise them the stars and blame the wrong types of people. This is a trend across the world. Generational and class conflict are one and the same in this case. Sorry to older folks of Lemmy, but older generations have become greedy.

The true forgotten generation. But Gen X are eating popcorn while the rest are having generation war.

Edit: lol at people who are downvoting and taking my comment seriously. It’s a jab at Gen X not being mentioned at all in mainstream discourse of generation fight amongst boomers, millenials and zoomers. I don’t know what nerves I have hit but I am owning it.

1940s don’t mean boner the same way we mean boner. It’s like the word gay. I had a boss who grew up in the 1950s and mentioned they say “gay” to mean happy and it’s an everyday word, like they would say “we’re gonna have a gay time.”

One of us! One of us!

Fascists are anti intellectual after all.

I heard an anecdote of an old white American couple visiting Mexico and the wife remarked “wow, there are so many immigrants.”

The Labour under Starmer is closet Tory. I wish that the popular Manchester Labour mayor (whose name I forgot) takes his place as PM, which actual leftist politicians try to make him to be. Although this will be a Sysiphean task under the ruthless politicking in British politics and Labour Party’s own strict rule on who could become PM.

Politicians: That’s the point.

Joking aside, now that I think about it, what difference does does it make if companies are stealing infos and spying on you with government mandated age verification checks, and hackers stealing your government mandated age verification info? This just reinforces my view that governments (and companies) are nothing but glorified gangsters.

What movie is this? Willem Defoe seems to sign up for movies where he is filmed in extremely close shot.

If there is one thing Salo and Eyes Wide Shut teach us, is that elites are into that shit.

Edit: wording

And these 1/3 are perfect horde for fascist brainwashing and consolidate the power of techno-fascists. The fascists will tell the jobless that immigrants took their jobs and not robots.

Well, this is what the second amendment is for.

Call of Duty predicted they will take Burgertown.

Other Christian groups are fine with marriage, it’s only the Catholic clergy who strictly practice celibacy, hard as it may for them. Catholic priests used to be allowed to get married but somewhere down the line, the properties that Catholic priests accumulated are passed on to their families, and the Vatican is having none of it. There is a theological reasoning to back up their celibate policy, but we all know it’s a convenient excuse for the church to keep properties for themselves.

I deleted my original Hotmail after it got hacked. However, I am keeping my Gmail despite Google’s monopoly practices. My Gmail username is from a time when they allow addresses like g_star99@gmail.com or skankymistress@gmail.com.

Mr Willis is secretly a millionaire who earned $8 million by investing in stocks.

PS. The name of the person on the link is actually Ronald Read, and yes, he worked as a janitor until the day he died.

I said federalism hampers attempt at tyrannical consolidation of power, not stop it completely.

Makes me think, however flawed the American democracy is, the federal set up does indeed hamper the attempts of tyrannical consolidation. Diversity is not without issues, but having enough diversity allows deviation from enforced thoughts. So diversity is indeed a strength. This is what the MAGA wants to rid.

You think these idiots are going to turn into some kind of international fascist union? Most of them ran on the platform of “fuck literally everyone else, we hate those guys”

Fascists will turn on each other eventually when a common enemy is gone. For them, it’s always a competition to the top.

Fascism is the natural end stage of capitalism. Plenty of businesses that have no core connection and competency with the military are embedding themselves into the military. For now, most of the US top brass loathe the Trump administration, but eventually they will be replaced by loyalists. We might get a real life Enclave if something isn’t done to rid the fascists.
