Testing the waters.
I don’t agree at all with the person you are answering to, but the meme blames a whole class of people based on a birthdate they never chose nor cannot change.
I’ve seen plenty of compassionate boomers, that’s why it makes me sad to see so many memes stirring intergenerational division on Lemmy. They feel like a carte blanche to blanket hate someone.
Also people seem to forget that eventually they will be next on the generational chopping block.
Of those mentioned between 50 and 70 years old, the ones up to 61 are Gen X.
Also the trillionaire is Gen X.
I have seen so many boomers going to the front of demonstrations to make the police hold back their batons.
It’s not a generational issue, it’s a media bombardment of manufactured issues with a generational spin. In that picture we should be angry at not having enough benches for everybody instead of blaming the beneficiaries of that dumb sign.
Pitting racism doesn’t work so well with left-leaning audiences, so the billionaires try with ageism which is not so frowned upon. No demographic is without a wedge to exploit.
Their image of what they consider “one of the good ones” wants to do that.
Gianni is a they, the -i ending is for plurals, obviousli.
One of my favourite principles is Chesterton’s fence.
He’s been accused of rape.
Same name, different islands in different countries (and also different spelling).
*[…] Bull argued that his political views had already damaged his ability to find work.
“It is quite difficult to get a job, obviously, because of who I am,” he told the court.
“They can just Google me and they don’t want the issues that it comes with being pulled up by communists […]
[…] Bull appeared in court wearing a black Helly Hansen polo shirt. The clothing brand has been appropriated by some far-right extremists because its prominent “HH” logo is interpreted by them as an abbreviation for “Heil Hitler.” […]*
No conviction and zero remorse.
Can’t say if it’s good in general but in that one example “Casi me muero de (la) vergüenza” is a good translation.
At this point I think the only useful signage is “sitting” vs “standing” and maybe “accessible”.
Wikipedia says it’s a derogatory term used for Pakistani people.
I see your point. What I wrote before was just me feeling that the article was failing to make it clear enough.
The only healthy amount of alcohol is zero.
It follows the pattern of Kafkian, Goethean, Brechtian, Ibsenian, Camusian, Foucauldian…
“Nonce” is an insult in the UK.
Found an old fluff piece about Damien Costas by MensHealth and it’s superfunny to read it from the future. So much leadership and innovation and smoke.
Thanks!
