dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I feel like with boomers it had a lot to do with them being the wealthiest generation in history. Wealthy boomers did a lot of class warfare against literally everyone else, and after it started impacting peoples lives significantly that's when the anti-boomer stuff became common.

Which in a way kind of sucks because it ignored that there were plenty of poor boomers, and leftist boomers. It also distracted from the fact that it was a class issue, making it easy for it to just be co-opted by the right later into generational warfare.

No war but the class war stays true once again.
