for a comment that boomers should hurry up and die already

I see people say shit x100 worse about the homeless, "drug addicts", the poor in general, Russians, etc. on a daily basis in most subs, but oh noooo think of the fucking 80-year-olds

Personally I consider it a good thing. I need to stop spending time on that hell website, and even though I could easily create a new account, I think I'll just try to avoid that shit.

    Waiting for a generation to die doesn't work. Class interest is reproduced across generations. As long as this arrangement of ownership and power exists, there will be young people facilitating it out of self-interest. Fewer than those that don't, yes, but the same is also true of the baby boomers. Most of them live in poverty now.

      Yeah generation nonsense is bullshit, but, speaking as someone raised by boomers, please let us enjoy them dying
