Meanwhile the boomers built a Lemon Trust Score that says you need to start squeezing lemons from day one to be trusted to make lemonade, so the lemon bank will give you a lemon loaf that takes 30 years to pay back with twice as much juice as any lemon can make. All while the news tells us that outsiders who never had a lemon in their life want to take our juice, but really it’s juice lord propaganda against any new juicers.
We are drowning in lemons and can’t make lemonade without giving it all away, leaving us with all the labor and none of the juice.
Here we go again, focus on the class of people who did this, not an entire generation. That would be like saying all millennials are school shooters. All generations got out of college and thought they were doing good while the millionaire/billionaire class widdled away at everyone’s rights so they could make more money and pay less taxes.
“Egads! A short, simple joke that isn’t 100% fair to every party mentioned! Instead of enjoying the obviously oversimplified gag, I better write an exasperating comment!”
Again, the joke I’m cool with, the person I was responding to seemed mean spirited to me. Maybe I read it wrong or I’m grumpy about the anti-generation stuff being so prevalent. IMO, generational hate is a made up shitpost by the upper classes.
Know who else generalizes huge groups of people and defends themselves with “it was just a joke”? Racists. Homophobes. Transphobes. That the company you wanna keep?

It’s not the joke I’m responding to, I actually liked it. Don’t you think the anti-(insert generation) is a distraction?
It can be, but in this case, no. It isn’t serious or mean-spirited.

Wow, I had no idea that making fun of boomers is the same as transphobia. Thank you for blessing me with your wisdom
It’s not the same. But using a line out of the transphobes’ playbook is a really fucking bad look.
That’s a pathetically bad comparison. This distinction is key:
Bigots often makes “jokes” that are serious but hide under a thin veneer of humor, and those “jokes” are often discriminatory.
Some people might have trouble telling the difference. I don’t.
