Memes

I know about a half dozen younger people who voted for Trump, believing him to actually be the Senator Armstrong-type person the meme war made him out to be.

I honestly don't care about anything anymore. I just wear the same 6 or 7 pairs of sweatpants everyday and at the end of the week I wash them and start over. This is how I mark the passage of time.

The final fuck you is when they reverse mortgage the house and blow through their entire net worth, maybe leaving enough to cover the retirement home, before kicking the bucket and leaving their kids with fuck all.

To the Boomers who are chill and hate capitalism as much as we do: I'm sorry you're getting blamed for the politicians' actions.

To the Zoomers and other young people, particularly in : I don't see any reason why we're not gonna end up in the same boat as the Boomers when we grow old. You are not unlearning the capitalist distortions passed onto you by your elders; you take defense contractor, finance, police, and military work with just as much ignorance as prior generations; you still do not oppose imperialism; and you know about climate change and Epstein and you still refuse to take up arms against capitalists and the State. (Like the Boomers, if you do not fit this description, my ire is not with you! But it is almost certainly with your friends, your family, your coworkers, and your neighbors.)

Frankly, it's gonna be just like the Boomers: the good ones are being crushed by capitalism in silence and forgotten. If you're wondering where most of the good Boomers are, check the cemeteries. Same with Zoomers. I see it happen every day. And when we do grow old, the vast majority of us are gonna mostly be conservative weirdos with rich backgrounds who abused their way to the top in a system designed to reward only abuse, because the rest of us will have been killed off.

And for everyone: your generation is not special. Every generation has their own unique challenges, some are harder than others, but you are not somehow magically exempted from developing the same oppressive behaviors of previous generations unless and until you spend the time unlearning capitalist distortions and obliterating the systems that instill capitalist distortions.

Give Zoomers a few more years and I guaran-fucking-tee you our politicians are gonna be milquetoast neoliberals just like the rest because we haven't actually learned a goddamn thing from our suffering, because suffering doesn't teach you shit, and because Zoomer capitalists are still capitalists and therefore exert bourgeois class solidarity over any solidarity they might have with their generation or any other subset of the proletariat.

Young men put Trump back in power. Not the boomers

This is your reminder that division along age or generation lines is as much of a distraction as division along race lines is. The real division is between who works for a living and who owns for a living. Simple as that. Sadly, the owning also includes owning the media and politicians (why yes, also most democrats), so there’s not much you can do either way. Get used to not owning a home.

If people are dumb enough to enlist…. They’re dumb enough to serve. And if they’re dumb enough to serve, they’re dumb enough to die pointlessly.

No one should ever serve these administrations that don’t and will not represent us.

The boomer generation failed to develop class consciousness. GenXers failed as well, as did the Millenials after them and the Zoomers following.

The lack of sufficient class consciousness to positively impact society actually unites every generation more than it divides.
