The Political Thread

Trumps head of justice dep or wtv also just outwardly threatened anyone who goes "near" Tesla with bad intentions

Did anyone post the posts about the cops that were put in front of Tesla buildings, that popped about a week or so ago, in here?

How were boomers able to march the streets in the 60s for their rights etc without the internet or smart phones but motherfuckers can't be arsed to get off the couch as the goverment is shitting on its allies, cozying up to Russia and taking away your rights.

I don't understand it

The 70s happened, basically.

no they made that shit happen bruh

self defeatism and blaming the people who didn't vote etc ain't gonna change shit. I don't understand what exactly is stopping people from organizing? Are you too scared? Don't want to be the one who starts it? It takes almost nothing to get the ball rolling but its like everyone is frozen into place waiting for someone to save them or just waiting to be raped further while doing nothing.

voting is like...not really enough anymore.

 

[Comrade Khan]

IS it just that you have enough distractions to keep us just entertained and passive enough? Is it fear? Have things not gotten bad enough? It's hard to explain why we've given up without trying literally anything

Oh no I'm just saying that the boomers who were Democrat leftists back then eventually turned into the Yuppie conservative twats of the 80s during the 70s because of a myriad of reasons.

They don't care, they got theirs and now don't give a fuck if younger generations are worse off than they are.

generalizing a whole generation is not going to solve anything either

stop dividing, start uniting.

As George Carlin says:

"The Baby Boomers: whiny, narcissistic, self-indulgent people with a simple philosophy: 'Gimme that! It’s mine!' Baby Boomers had it all. They had it *all*. Then they turned Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll to Abstinence, Just Say No, and SoFt RoCk. They went from 'All You Need is Love' to 'Whoever winds up with the most toys, wins.'"

I'd sooner wait till they all die off.

the fascists are here, the time for finger pointing about who did what is over. they want to keep us distracted with gender wars , generation wars, you name it. Most people are against this shit. How ppl voted yesterday doesn't matter if they want to be on your side today. My dad is very well off and a boomer and center right, he ain't down for any of this shit going down either. not everyone is an enemy

then you are part of the problem

 

[Barry Poppins]

then you are part of the problem

Brother, most Baby Boomers are in their 60s and 70s, and they're all dying off, what exactly can they do?

A majority of them are conservative, and are otherwise fairly aligned with Trump. What are your suggestions to getting through to them? Hmm? I'm all ears.

 

[Comrade Khan]

well you can start by , like I said, stop just lumping every single person in an entire generation in a single lump and call them useless or republicans lol. Lots of reasonable adults out there if you talk to them. They have knowledge. And age has nothing to do with being able to march and protest.

stop letting perfect be the enemy of good and stop denying yourself potential allies based on preconceived notions. That's exactly what the fascist have been doing to demonize minorities and get people to fight each other. you are falling into the same trap right now by writting off an entire generation because they don't meet some impossible standard of good.

its going to take ALL of us man - even people who used to vote right
