    Ok, but let’s not be divisive among generations over a common enemy.

    No war but class war.

      I hold nothing but compassion and solidarity for those who follow.

      I want things to be easier for them, not as hard or harder than they were for us.

      Story:

      Just had a really painful conversation with my Boomer in-laws. They refuse to see acknowledge how bad things are for us and blame us for our failure to thrive like they got to, after receiving a six-figure cash injection back in the 80s from their parents, which is all gone now with their frivolous spending.

        In the US, 1950-1980 is the era of lowest wealth inequality in the countries history. The top tax rate reached 91% in that time period. It is currently around 37%. Us poors had it worse before then, and have it worse after then. They won a birth lottery. Source: Thomas Piketty’s ‘Capital in the 21st Century’

      Yup! I’m a millenial here and I’m not here to compete for the oppression Olympics.

      The rich just gave themselves another tax break. I’m not here to fight my fellow people. I want to eat the rich!

      Exactly. As a millenial, my goal is to be compassionate for the next generation — not to pull the “when I was your age” card on Gen Z and Alpha.

      I mean if gen Z men are a big fascist majority, when does it start being a class war?

        Doesn’t matter, no war but class war.

        The primary adjective/insult to focus on is them being a fascist; the moment you pull any other, non-related adjective into the insult, they give themselves permission to ignore you.

        Fuck fascist assholes, fuck the upper class, no matter the demographic.
