Fun to poke fun at the boomer stereotype, but is there really anyone here that doesn't self censor due to the state of public discourse?

I filter myself based on the environment and people I'm around. This would always be the case. I don't go on unhinged socialist rants to my boss in 2024, and I wouldn't have done that in 1964 either. Hell, in 1964 I'd have an astronomically higher chance of being questioned and jailed for my "extreme" anticapitalist views in the U.S.
