My girlfriend and I were planning on going camping today, but my girlfriend's white suburban middle class parents wouldn't let us, saying it was 'dangerous'. Both her and I agree that white middle class people are way too afraid of everything for some reason, but I don't know why. Any ideas?
Mainstream news of the kind that boomers consume is just story after story of violent scary shit, with no context of how rare it is for some of these crimes/accidents to happen to you.
Also true crime. Also NCIS and shit lol.
These fucking shows have rotten my moms brain completely. Its fucking disgusting and i hate it and she won't stoo watching them. Literally 24/7 of that NCIS trash.
It did give us this masterpiece though
My brain just vomited inside my skull and now its drowning in it its own puke. Thanks for that.
Scrolling through the TV recently I saw some channel had "Fear thy Neighbour" and "Killer Coworkers" as longstanding shows...
:zizek-fuck:
ding ding ding
I think some of it comes from our politics and culture turning large amounts of boomers into honestly pretty violence-minded people. They love thinking about "getting an opportunity" to shoot and kill some (dark skinned) attacker or killing the MSNBC anchor or whatever. So when they walk into their office paranoid af someone is thinking about killing them, it's projection but it's also likely another boomer has the same thoughts.
