Nostalgia

It's easy if you don't know how shitty the other 90% have it. That's the thing about privilege. The folks who have it assume that everybody has it like they do (i.e. that privilege isn't really a thing, everybody has equal opportunity, racism is dead, etc).

They're terrible people and racist....

Look what MAGA did, they pushed the narrative that the white man is getting pushed out of society. Even though the United States is mostly White Christians. They just believed what these bitches told them, didn't bother to look at facts.

That's the real crime.

I'm guessing you either aren't American or you aren't and Evangelical Christian.

christians thought that left-handedness was "sinister" and associated to the devil, so they made it illegal.

Edit: i know it sounds like a joke, but it is not. this is not the onion. that's the actual reason.

Underrated pun

My MAGA family member sent me an instagram post of a screenshot of a Mayo Clinic article headline that said measles prevents some forms of cancer, so we should just let it run wild.

Ignore the fact that the natural form of measles has the risk of causing too many complications and long term negative health effects to be considered effective, and the cancer prevention research is on genetically modified strain specific to fighting cancer cells. Naturally, the instagram post did not link to the full article.

and the usa got a deadly plague death (last one was 2007)

One of the few things becoming great again in america these days.

Honestly, Do we even need the caffeine?

Since quitting caffeine, I've felt a lot better. I used to wake up feeling like shit, drink my caffeine of choice, feel mid until it wears off, drink more, feel more mid, repeat, have trouble falling asleep.

Now I just wake up feeling mid, and go to sleep just fine. Big difference is that I save a bunch of money, and have less anxiety, and irritability, from all the stimulants.

Why would it matter if they're genz/alpha? They are describing observed trends.

What in their comment has anything to do with people shouting respect their elders? Or younger people thinking old people are too nostalgic? It seems the opposite if anything, more based on older people's nostalgia for their time and younger people internalizing that, not fighting against it.

When did they claim to be special?

This reads like stand up from the 80s

Ever since the "Nobody knows how to fix a car computer except a Boomer Millennial" memes started trending, we've surrendered our "Better than that" card to GenZ.

Millennials are as vulnerable to this crap as anyone else.

Because the country was rich post-war and subsidizing a lot of suburban families.

Yup, the 1950s was only better for white people, but there's a reason that white people look back on it with fondness.

But, I'd guess that even for black people it was better than the 1930s. When the economy shinks, they're the first to lose jobs. When it grows they're the last to get them. In the 1950s things were booming so my guess is that black unemployment was low. Still, for working class white males the 1950s may have been a peak, for most other people things have just been getting better every year since then.

Imagine how good it could be if everyone got some of the things working class whites got in the 1950s: strong unions, good labour protections, high tax rates on the ultra rich, etc.

"Face" lol

Meh... I'll just have to put it in myself then. So not that different from now either.
