So why, ya see - why when we visited china, did they sing "Take me home, country roads" on the little boat down the Yangtze river? Our tour guide started singing and everyone joined in, and we're going down this little river into the deep jungle on both sides and I'm not even sure they knew what the words meant.
Why that particular song? I have no idea. It was kind of surreal. And there were no toads involved but I did see some weird looking insects.
That song has it’s own life. It’s an offline meme at this point.
It began in Germany I believe, but it’s a worldwide phenomena.
The explanation is that it’s sa song that lends itself very well to yelling out loud, and it’s played a lot at football games and in pubs. It’s a great song and all, and while it may be specific state patriotic song in he USA, it has become a common drinking song in most of world.
Meanwhile in todays day have consumer cars that burn as much fuel as a semi, large 4x4 child pedestrian killers driven by soccer moms, Proud boys aren’t that old and they are pretty racist and active, School shootings, ‘anxious’ gun nuts shooting little girls on their lawns and clowns running countries into a 3rd world state during pandemics and giving bailouts to capitalist billionaires who are of a millennial age which are the entire cause of the housing crisis while there should be more than enough living space. There shouldn’t even be homeless right now.
Complain all you want about boomers but all the newer generations came in hot on the heels to make it far worse than any boomer did. They poured gallons of gasoline on that fire.
Fuck off with this ‘Z VS Boomer’ crap especially if you’re sitting here calling their music the best and listening to it.
Government is controlled by boomers. Blame should be placed on those who refuse to close loopholes and end bad laws, not those who abuse said loopholes.
Manipulators should absolutely hold the blame of their own actions. if you don’t like what boomers did, you can’t copy them and pretend you’re 100% innocent. That’s becoming the monster you hate and being manipulative to shift the blame off yourself. You are your own job. And if you have the chance to do better but still don’t, then you are pushing shitty double standards. That’s not reasonable. That’s being a bad actor. if you know better then do better. If you have the time to criticize, you have the time to help.
Public corporations are legally required to do what’s best for shareholders, not society. They are not bound by the values system you’ve posted and have no cognitive dissonance about becoming a monster. Government is the check to that - they set the boundaries under which corporations are allowed to operate. However the government no longer serves its constituents.
I will also add that not all boomers are bad, and that the real enemy employs divide and conquer to sow division against anything that isn’t them. So they are happy to start flame wars about Z vs Boomer, Black vs White, male vs female - anything that is not working class vs capitalist
I don’t know. I just come here to shit, post, and fuck with people who don’t realise what community they’ve stumbled into after I’ve courteously made them aware of it.
