MODERATORS
PLEASE stop this.
It's not left or right
It's not this generation or that generation
It's not black or white
It's not men or women
These are distractions amplified through for profit media and captured education to keep us undermining one another, can you not see that?
As ever, it Owners vs Laborers. I don't mean your 3.111110 shares of apple in your 401k BTW.
The owners leverage all of the above to keep us at each other's throats instead of looking up.
Don't hate the class traitors like McDonald's lady, pity her. She was made into a self hating beaten dog by guess who?
We. Have. A. Common. Blight. The ones killing us and our planet for short term profit.
The one's perpetually encouraging the poors tear eachother apart over every petty difference to maintain their class occupation and subjugation of us.
It's not left or right
[proceeds to make a solid leftist argument]
I've never heard a solid conservative argument.
no, because I'm racist isn't a sound reason to do things lmao
Louder for the people in the back:
THERE IS NO WAR BUT THE CLASS WAR.
I mean there are others but the others shouldn't be fought really but it's insanely hard to cure dumb with these drug laws.

is that not what the 3rd frame is saying?
Especially with the Caesar-ish garb, it conflates boomers with owners
Most owners are boomers, but few boomers are owners.
The owners are our enemy.
It's important to maintain focus on who the enemy is. This is subtle but derails entire movements.
The owner's bread and butter is sowing division between the peasants. They are very efficient at it. Kind of their signature move.
I see. Thanks!
CEOs need to start dropping around the holiday season, instead of prices.
I do enjoy how GenX doesn't appear at all. Very appropriate.
votes for Trump at a greater rate than any other generation
Wonders why no one wants to acknowledge them
we are "the maps without new zealand" generation
After trying and failing to reach them for comment, we finally heard from them. They just told us "whatever, man."
Gen X: you pussies should have been around in the 70's and 80's
We have a stronger survivorship bias than the following gens, but we also sucked on leaded gas fumes for a while when our brains were still developing.
So anyway, whatever.
I didn't have the chance
Whatever… just whatever.
Gen X had it's Part in Memes and grew up. Like tech savvy boomers, Generation X seems predominantly stuck in the middle tier of the career ladder, overshadowed by their Boomer parents. However, they maintain a benevolent and generous attitude toward younger generations. They are fully aware that they will likely never own property, and having children is a significant risk. This painful realization hit them some time ago, hence their sense of empathy. The later you're born, the more pain you inherit.
You realise Gen Xers are all in the 40-65 age bracket now, right? Nearly all way beyond the deciding-on-children age. And heaps of them own property (at least where I live).
We will age and die in our office chairs, and our Zalpha children will burn our bodies to fuel their air conditioners. We will finally find our purpose. Don't worry about us: we are content enough.
Or just get some more decades to marinate in hatred.
I am a middle child in the generational equivalent of a middle child.

I get so confused with people portraying Gen Z as these radical socialists when time after time voting shows they are anything but. Especially Gen Z men as a group are extremely conservative. At least in the US.
Gen Z men think being rude and unrespectful will get the girlfriends. They are in the not fucking around phase of not fucking around and not finding out.
That's sadly nothing new
Gen Z is just more extreme in their views, regardless of what their actual politics are.
The rightists want a Reich, the leftists want a global communist revolution, and there's no center.
This poll suggests otherwise.
Gen Z adults (21%) are less likely than all generational groups except millennials (21%) to identify as Republican. Meanwhile, 36% of Gen Z adults identify as Democrats, and this rate is similar to other generations, with the exception of Gen Xers, who are less Democratic (31%).
With the exception of millennials (24%), Gen Z adults (28%) are notably less likely than other generational cohorts to identify as conservative. And Gen Z adults (43%) identify as liberal at a higher rate than other generations. A plurality of Gen Z teens (44%) identify as moderate.
You read the Adjuster's manifesto? It's neither "liberal" nor "conservative", but rather, has elements of both the left and right i.e. moderate according to your data. That's just the US. People are incoherent in their ideas.
and i just want to be alone on my computer.
- Ages 18-24: 44% for Trump, 54% for Harris
- Ages 25-29: 52% for Trump, 48% for Harris
- Ages 30-44: 52% for Trump
- Ages 45-64: 56% for Trump
- Ages 65 and older: 61% for Trump

More conservative than in the past, but so is the whole country (by votes- most Americans don't vote). Compared to other age groups though, gen z voted less conservative (unless you consider that Harris is basically a conservative)
I didn't mean to imply that Gen Z is less conservative than older generations. A pretty low bar to pass under lol

Gen z is all about gambling for their future, because there's no other way. Influencer careers, crypto scams, scalping
Yeah some risks need to be taken now but also gambling is not the same as taking risks when like... Gambling only ever pays the bank else casinos wouldnt be the favorite profit maker of corrupt men.

I see GenX didn't answer. Typical slackers
Can't answer when we were forgotten about again. IF we had been asked we would have replied, "meh, whatever."
Nah. Y'all said "Trump will save us from the WOKE!"
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/in_focus/3222723/why-generation-x-delivered-donald-trump/
The author is a self absorbed delusional moron but, well, Gen X.
Y'all...People my age who did vote for him deserve your rant, especially since they've known both Republicans and Trump for decades. But we all aren't that gullible.
My X-Gen brain still reads "woke" as the opposite of "asleep", even in its slang version. So some of us are woke, we're just tired of not getting anywhere after all this time. So in the spirit of the comic and societal collapse, I'll stick with my "whatever".
