Pretty much all those Karen compilations are Gen X-aged people, who should fucking know better but clearly don't. Millennials are on watch too, but we don't have enough wealth to be as shitty. Zoomers are going to save us all.

Gen X'ers always seem like they only focus on a single opponent or enemy, and it's rarely the billionaire class
which is probably why they eat up Orange Man media
I just think of everyone I ever admired as a liberal in that set and they all turned out to be disappointingly centrist at best.
I mean tom morello and the other members of Rage Against The Machine are gen x right? So there are like a few good gen xers out there?
Presuming Kurt Cobain never killed himself, yes basically.
Also I think the members or Rise Against are gen x as well? Mostly vegan leftist band, even if they do some things that would be considered lib shit, like encouraging people to register to vote
Yeah they're okay, now I will tell you Foo Fighters sucks, they were all AIDS denialists.
Like how bad is the aids denialism from the foos? I come from a country that had a president that said HIV literally cannot cause AIDS, as in its not physically possible for the virus to cause AIDS, which led to 400 thousand preventable deaths. Also another president said that showering right after you potentially contact HIV can cure it and eliminate the virus.
Well the Foo Fighters believed HIV didn't lead to AIDS and used to hand out pamphlets at their shows and donated a lot of money to conspiratorial orgs so...there's that.
What the hell
Here I am ruining everything for everyone.
My copy of the Mission Impossible 2 soundtrack has long been paid for, you'll never ruin that cover of "Have a Cigar"
YET.
From "My Hero" to "Better Off" real quick
So literally the same thing as the one ex president of my country, fml
Yes basically.
"Foo fighters endorsed by Thabo Mbeki" is not something I thought would be an accurate joke 5 minutes ago
Why did that just kill me

Ugh god
400 000 people dead because of that by the way, very cool and normal.
Well I mean, Reagan...
You've got good point there, and I have no comeback. Still can't believe 23 seconds and the decisions based on it killed nearly half a million people. Also this was in the 2000s, when everyone knew how AIDS worked already.
It's so fucked, I know.
It's pretty sad. I think PZ Myers has drifted leftwards in recent years though.
Yeah, the trans and gay acceptance front of nu-atheism became radlibs/Bernie types.
Just checked his Twitter, he's retweeted a lot of Cornell West stuff and a protest call by a group called "revolutionary communists" so he's alright I guess.
PZ Myers sucks a lot less, yes, but I wouldn't have expected that.
The leaders of New Atheism are a prime example of this.
Nah it's the opposite of this, genX is broadly nihilistic, which is why gen Z tends to adopt some of those traits.
They think everything is bad, their eating up of orange man bad is exclusively because he is the current president.
insanely relevant point that I'd never thought of before. Blew my mind
This is much more accurate to my experience. My parents are Gen X Republicans and they aren't actively hateful, they just have very unhappy lives and no driving philosophy or goals. They mentally and spiritually died in their twenties once I was born and they had fulfilled the obligation to create their nuclear family.
Yeah I think going people have a desire to live a more fulfilling and wholistic life and that is a contributing factor to some of the current left wing shift even among people who come from decently well off families.
