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.

        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

            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.

                In January 2000, Nate Mendel led a benefit concert in Hollywood for AIDS denialist group Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives with a speech by founder Christine Maggiore and free copies of her self-published book, What If Everything You Thought You Knew About AIDS Was Wrong?[18][19] Additionally, the band's official website featured a section devoted to Alive & Well.[20] Sandra Thurman, then director of the Office of National AIDS Policy stated this was "extraordinarily irresponsible behavior" because "There is no doubt about the link between HIV and AIDS in the respected scientific community".[21] Links and references to Alive & Well have since been removed from the band's website and no further mentions or shows of support have been made.
