Boomers? Biden wasn’t even a Boomer!

Reverendender ,

I’m finally in charge!

wildncrazyguy138 ,

What are yer orders boss?

Reverendender ,

Let’s eat the rich. Starting with Murdoch, Bezos, and Musk. Then let’s send the entire GOP to a for-profit state prison.

wildncrazyguy138 ,

Deal, they seem to like to self flagellate. I’ve got the perfect name for it. Hear me out, we’ll call it “Florida.”

someguy3 ,

Wiki says Gen X is 1965 - 1980. Kamala was born Oct 1964. Boomer.

ThePyroPython ,

Cool great so if we’re making generalisations, the generation who was nothing but snarky, cynical, and too lazy to stand for anything is taking over from the spoilt brat boomers.

At least it’s a slight improvement.

As a millennial (only just though) maybe we should just skip Gen X and millennials and hand everything over to Gen Z. Maybe a generation who are generally consuming less and care about the environment would do a much better job of making sure the world doesn’t burn.

There are still plenty of us Xers who are complete and utter cunts. Don’t let your guard down.

Every generation has plenty of those - no worries!

As a Gen Xer I’m heartened to see Gen Z stepping up to literally save the world. Seeing the swell in support for Harris and in voter registration numbers, I for once am feeling hopeful. I hope they can accomplish what the forgotten generation couldn’t.

Gen Z reporting in. Above comment’s point was not to generalize an entire demographic as ‘doing good’. & it was a good one. Don’t assume that of us either.

Judging entire groups of people as a monolith is always bad. I’ll add ‘good’ is subjective of an individual’s values. Expect future generations to mock us for what we believe acceptable.

TexasDrunk ,

I sure hope so. If future generations aren’t making fun of me for how backwards I am then we’re not progressing.

FireTower ,
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll caveat that not all changes are ‘good’ changes too. The future generations might not value the things we hold dear, like the jury trial. One day maybe they’ll sadly see that as us wasting ordinary people’s time.

People in the future are not automatically our betters, but our equals, (hopefully) armed with the knowledge of our failings and armed with that of our successes.

folekaule ,

Very good point, and I did not intend to make an argument about generations being different. Generations indeed consist wholly of individuals with their own opinions. On an individual level, age is no better an indicator of personality than your zodiac sign.

In my comment I just wanted to express that, after a long period of dread, I am feeling more hopeful after seeing so many members of the young generation getting engaged and making a difference where I personally feel we failed.

It was also meant to express appreciation and gratitude to those who are getting involved and as encouragement to those who are yet to do so.

Kecessa ,

If I’m not mistaken in gen X is the first generation to become more progressive as it ages

Yeah. X/Mil cusper here. The elder Gen X are more like Boomers than anything, but have more anger and technical acumen.

AshMan85 ,

Uh i wouldn’t boast about Boeing lol

Kamala was born in the last year of what is considered boomer, but still a step forward to Biden’s silent generation

radivojevic ,

At least she’s under the retirement age!!!

Generational cohorts care more about events that shaped you in life rather than birth year

This headline makes me incredibly happy.

Rookwood ,

Gen X is too small to matter. Millennials are stepping up and will compete with Boomers for a little while until they finally take over. Thing about Millennials though is that it is a very K shaped generation. About half have had decent success and are conservative/liberal and the other half have been absolutely crushed so it’s kind of a mixed bag and as long as the Boomers have any influence not much is likely to change. GenZ is bigger than Millennials though and should be right behind them. They are very different and much more politically radical, on both the left and right. Things are likely to change with them.

SteveFromMySpace , (edited )

There are a lot of radical conservative millennials I’m not sure where you’re getting this from. I’d need to see numbers before I agree with a lot of this. All the YouTube/new media grifters personalities and radical passionate members of the house are millennials.

I’m worried about the Alphas and younger Zs who weren’t paying attention until after Covid. The news doesn’t talk about Trump’s laundry list of controversies or extremism. They just yell about the economy and the border and point at Biden.

As usual, they make rationalists look alarmist.

Carrolade ,

One thing I’m looking forward to with millennial leadership is just people that finally fully understand the power of the internet, big data and what truly distinguishes the information age. If you didn’t grow up with it, it’s hard to grapple with just how much it truly upended … fucking everything. They mostly still don’t understand that a computer can basically read their mind now, just through indirect data gathering and comparing them to all of the other people. We all get that at a more intuitive level, we’ve spent too long around these algorithms and seas of semi-anonymous others.

Of course we’ll be in some quantum AI room-temp-superconductor age by then, so, y’know how it goes. But we should at least have a better handle on the information age problems, so that’ll be nice.

Samvega ,

Technology keeps creating new problems. The problems don’t stay still and wait to be fixed.

Hobbes_Dent ,

Spoken just like the boomers. Heads up your own asses just like them.

65 million X compared to 72 millennial. Wow. Carry on.

Whatever.

Glad the boomers are on the way out. As a Gen X’er, not sure we care enough to take charge.

xmunk ,

It’s cool you’ll get like four years then we millennials will take over.

slurpeesoforion ,

Please be kind. We’re exhausted and broken.

Wytch ,

Watching helplessly for 40 or 50 years while your parents’ generation destroys everything will do that

bazus1 ,

and it hurts now to get out of bed.

Don’t know about you, but I’m out here slackin’ away.

As an aging millennial, I am surprised by how the process of time works.

Like you spend your life acquiring skills and using your knowledge in an ever expanding cornucopia of experiences.

Then followed by a gradual decline to be left only with your memories of who you once were. But then you realize you were only a small part of the existence of others, and ultimately the universe. Yep, the thought of faculties diminishing over time is enough to put the one into an extensional crisis.

Boozilla ,
@Boozilla@lemmy.world avatar

Yup. This is a wise time in your life to start your estate planning, medical directives, etc. Find yourself a good lawyer for this. I’m sure the cost varies by location and practice, but mine was only about $1,500 US.

Took way too long. Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out.

Godort ,

Considering the nature of linear time, I dont know what the alternative could be.

ccunning ,

Biden is actually the first and only president from “The Silent Generation”

(Side note: Trump, Dubya, and Bubba were all born in 1946)

meeeeetch ,

Within two months and one week of each other.

Huh, that’s interesting.

I would vote for a vampire, mummy, or other deathless creature.
