@Dbot but I love that he told it to their faces tho. @Render

@peeppeepcircus @Render yess love that too.
With the brave little girl ❤️

@Dbot @Render

Yeah even his little girl could trash talk their absurdity. 😂

@peeppeepcircus He did. He called their $ out. Love to see it. @Dbot @Render

@peeppeepcircus @Dbot @Render

I have been silent for months.
Didn't want to cause any dissension b/c, well, I can do that. 🤷🏼‍♀️
But... when they took down the American flag and replaced it with the Palestinian flag at Columbia... that was it.
Then I started digging on 'who' was wrangling this group. As a student protestor in my youth, I promise you, we didn't have that kind of organization.

And now... they're at Univ of Alabama chanting with pro-Trumpers?

Shit.

@Maude @peeppeepcircus @Dbot @Render

Horseshoe.

@AnneW @Maude @Dbot @Render

Total horseshoe.

@thedisasterautist And this guy is the hero for the day! Wow he just owns these people.
@Render

@thedisasterautist @Render This is the next generation ? WTAF?

@AkomoCombine @Render: The Boomers trained them.

@thedisasterautist @AkomoCombine

Newp.

They were trained by commies and Islamic supremacists who infested the education decades ago.

@Render @thedisasterautist

Anyways, back to my bologna and potato chip sandwich...

@AkomoCombine

Enjoy!

@thedisasterautist The problem appears to be that no one trained them... Actual boomers were civil rights leaders... The few students involved here took their marching orders from Hamas funded paid agitators. @AkomoCombine @Render

@AnneW @AkomoCombine @Render: I meant culturally, not literally, as in trained them for this very day. I should've clairified.

The Boomers were often civil rights leaders but largely a generation after a lot of the heavy lifting was done by people born before the end of WW2.

The Boomers as a generation took credit for ending a war, though their part in it, while not small, was not sole.

The Boomers were spoiled, by and large, as a generation, and then when they got the helm, they did...

@AnneW @AkomoCombine @Render: ...exactly what they excoriated their parents' and grandparents' generations for doing... and then some. They kinda left a lot of GenX to seed while they spent, spent, spent, and refused to allow the new younger generations to have any kind of a say.

The Boomers coddled and coddled their grandkids and never let up on the "We stopped the war!" and "We won Civil Rights for Blacks and Women!", and now many kids today are comically ignorant, easily manipulable,...

@AnneW @AkomoCombine @Render: ...and vacuously self-righteous. As a generation, they're splintered worse than a jammed door at Chuck Norris' house because before they can even discuss things, they have to go through the various checklists to determine who's the most oppressed, the most poor, the most traumatized, who has privilege, who has more of a right to speak on certain topics, who has to STFU and just do what the others tell them, etc. *Then* they can go after the Not-We.

@AnneW @AkomoCombine @Render: Yeah, they did get ordered and funded by Hamas and other pro agitators and agents, but their homeschooling was Boomer culture. I remember it well. Their upbringings and environments kept their brains smooth, and they, the Q and MAGA crowds, made them easy marks.

@thedisasterautist @AkomoCombine @Render

These students are not the children of boomers.
... and you may be over thinking this a bit... 😏

@AnneW @AkomoCombine @Render: I didn't say they were the kids of Boomers. In my reply thread I specifically stated the chain of generations since the Boomers and addressed what has contributed to these 20somethings' attitudes and perspectives.

@thedisasterautist @AkomoCombine @Render

The things you describe (consumerism, etc.) did not begin with boomers... Opportunities after WW2 created massive change. Would you wish they had not given their children every opportunity they could? All generations have the choice to reject the previous one's ... No one generation can be held responsible for the next ones choices... certainly not two or three later 🤷

@AnneW @thedisasterautist @AkomoCombine

I'm just going to point out that Boomers (of all races, creeds, and colors) gave us (humanity) some of the greatest music, movies, and sports entertainment ever made.

And then I'm going to mute this thread. Cuz it's making my head hurt.

@Render 😉 Same 😂

@thedisasterautist @AkomoCombine

@AnneW @AkomoCombine @Render: I'll call it a day on this because I wasn't talking about consumerism or the post-WW2 boom or changing technologies. I was pointing at a specific swath of attitudes and behaviors of the generation, attitudes and behaviors that certainly could and likely were present prior to the postwar boom but shifted up into higher gear by that generation. Plus the generational differences from there on.

We seem not to be discussing the same things.

@AnneW @AkomoCombine @Render: No, Actual Boomers were not all Lefties, and they certainly were not all civil rights leaders. The field has never been static.
