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.
Generational politics is not a meme.
It fully exists right now.
It's absolutely a meme. Generational politics imply that boomer capitalists are somehow qualitatively different from gen x capitalists or millennial capitalists, that we can juxtapose capitalism with boomer characteristics vs capitalism with gen x characteristics vs capitalism with millennial characteristics. Outside of surface level aesthetics like fashion sense and use of slang, there's really not a whole lot distinguishing the three different types of capitalists. It's not like boomer capitalists are more likely to be industrialists or that millennial capitalists are less likely to pursue labor arbitrage.
Gates is a boomer, Musk is a gen x, Zuckerberg is a millennial, but they're all capitalists in the end. I was honestly surprised that all three belonged in different generational cohorts. Bezos exists on the cusp of a boomer and gen x, but no one would use this fact to somehow suggest that he acts like a cross between the boomer Gates and the gen x Musk like some Gates/Musk hybrid because that's a ridiculous thing to say.
beyond boomers tending to be wealthier than other generations (and perhaps more annoying), no it doesn't
Boomers are 10x more wealthy.
i literally conceded they are wealthier, the amount being more or less doesn't change that generational politics is meme bullshit in place of actual anticapitalism lol
Unfortunately there is a massive rich generation that is dead set on protecting capitalism that helped elevate it
they'll all die someday and if the rest of us aren't organized and ready to fight capitalism, it will still be here like it was 100 years before boomers were born.
So generational politics currently exists than
that is a strange conclusion and I would like to see your definition of generational politics
