I love this channel, and starting my day with this video, it put me into this amazing open-hearted place where I long to unite with others to build something better whereas I am much more prone, normally, to angrily wish to tear the capitalist's world down.

    No, "not all men" is the response of immature men who think that because you're critical of toxic masculinity they need to defend themselves instead of listening to your concerns. This feels the same to me, like somehow we're more concerned about the feelings of the two people over 50 reading this website that aren't feds as opposed to the real harm boomers have caused in the world.

      whatever, keep losing people because you'd rather only speak in broad generalizations than actually be clear about who you mean. it's too hard to be specific, fuck anyone not already on the same page as 1000 online leftists.

        This isn't a space for engaging people who aren't already on the same page, and you know that.

          there are clearly people in this thread who did not get what you meant by boomers. I think this point stands really anywhere, you don't know who your audience is and it's extremely easy to speak with clarity instead of vague generalizations. inevitably you will confuse someone with bad rhetoric, so why use it?

            Omfg for the last time, this is not the space for educating the uninitiated. If I ranted about "boomers" on reddit or Twitter or Facebook or YouTube comments you'd have a legit gripe. People who aren't already leftists don't come here. To me, hexbear is a place to vent to my fellow comrades, not to do political education. Leave my irony poisoned :doomer: ass alone.
