    Ngl sometimes it’s hard to not be mad at every single person over the age of 45 for not murdering at least one fossil fuel exec by now

    This was your responsibility assholes, and now I have to live in the world y’all fucked up

    People older than like 40 need to start making excuses for the lack of terror

        Edit: sorry I just saw you were referring to people over 40, I haven’t had my coffee yet. Gen X I see you I hear you.

        the oldest millennials are 42 this year and 43 next year.

      I’m a Zoomer and if you’re talking about the US, communist party membership was literally like 5 times higher in their days than right now

      Boomer bashing is dumb

            I’m sure it does happen but if ‘every’ Boomer has that life then that might have more to do with where you are or who you surround yourself with, including radicals.

            I’ve met a lot of aging Boomer Leftists who are not even homeowners, much less business owners, and barely manage to survive but understand that’s the life they chose for themselves to keep tonsome revolutionary values. Shitting on a whole generation which includes its working class radicals is really misguided, as you said.

        Not saying there aren’t based boomers but that’s not really saying much, isn’t the CPUSA notoriously ass? Most communists have no interest in it

      I know what you mean, but there were a lot of violent revolutionary movements that happened worldwide in which people who are now over the age of 45 were the primary participatory demographic.

      You can be mad at older revolutionaries for not being successful, and even then the anger is perhaps misplaced, but I don’t think it was for lack of trying.
