Translation: you'll become more conservative when you have children and own a home
Millennials: 😆
Zoomers: 😂
Alpha: 🤣
Whateverthefuckcomesnext: 💀-
own a home
Too bad boomers ruined my best chance at that.
-
I have a child and own a home, and am a member of the lost generation. Fuck the Republican Party and any conservative who believes their selfish bullshit should outweigh the greater good of others.
-
Republicans are fascists, not conservatives.
Democrats are the conservative party.
-
I agree about Republicans. I don't agree about Democrats. Some, of course, are conservative, as they historically always have been. But a good portion are quite liberal.
-
There are two kinds of Democrats: conservatives and hostages
-
As a whole, the Dems are pretty center of the aisle, because America as a whole is fairly conservative compared to Europe (despite 60% of the population being more liberal than the government at most times). Europeans generally consider the Dems in the US a conservative party, and corporate Dems are definitely closer to the right than to the left. The other issue besides the general conservative leaning in the country though is that there's about 50 other groups of various left leaning shades that would be their own separate parties in Europe but are bunched in with the corporate Dems and therefore have little say in the party platform.

Seems people feel the need to try to educate me, not really sure why. But whatever :)

I agree with everything you said except, im confused about the use of the term lost generation. That’s a generation born in the 1880-1900s.
-
My mistake if so. I was under the impression that term was used for those of us born between 1978 or so thru 1983.
In any case, I don’t see myself in the same vein as GenX nor Millennial, at least stereotypically.
-
I had an feeling you actually meant GenX but I just wanted to make sure. I know that GenX is often thought of as the latchkey generation. I’m on the edge of GenX/millennial.
I just see myself as apart of the “ boomerang “ generation where I’ll be worse off than my parents. Fun times.

I've been fortunate enough to have seen my material conditions improve as I've entered my mid-thirties which has let me start a family and buy a home. I've also watched my incredibly talented and hard working friends/acquaintances/neighbours be ground into dust under the cruel rule of capitalism. I got lucky, they didn't, this has radicalized me far more than any naive idealism ever could.
-
Exactly this. I'm fortunate enough that the skills I'm good at have a lot of demand at the moment, but people I know that are more hard working than I am and very talented, struggle to get by just because their job for some reason is considered less worthy to pay for.
Wanting to maintain this rotten system is the purest form of greed.

Having to mow the lawn is the first step in the pipeline of fascism
-
Everyone knows it's a gateway chore
-
You joke, but if you ever talked to a homeowner about their lawn and heard them complain about their neighbor's lawn...
-
Mowing the lawn is the only hour of uninterrupted creativity I get in the week. Also my neighbour's lawn is 50% dandelions.
-
Your lawn is green concrete; a lifeless painting with nothing for pollinators.
Your neighbor's lawn has wildlife in the deadlands of the suburbs.
-
Except for the magnolia tree and vegetable garden cleary visible in the photo...
-
A tiny little strip of life, carefully manicured to minimize nature as much as possible.
Might as well pave over the rest of it and just have potted plants for all the good that does.

its too late, you're hitler himself
-
While I disagree with your take that dandelions are bad, that's a great mow job! How do you get stripes that pronounced?
-
I put the wheels on one side a notch lower than the other and alternate directions when you mow.

Influencers on the whole are trying their best to make little nazis out of the next generations. Give them time.
-
Wait is Alpha the next generation's name after Zoomers?
-
Yeah, for now. That might change. Millennial was originally Gen Y.
