A normal society that hates its own children.

Jesus, imagine being this psychopathic.

The funniest (in the "wow, that's fucked up" sense) thing about that sub is how they'll come up with quasi-left ("they're all racists and misogynists") reasons to hate gen Z while at the same time doing shit like this where they cheer for war and social Darwinism.

They also love calling Zoomers "low T," because their hatred of the manosphere ends where the chance to use its ideas against the people they despise begins.

Claiming that the only reason sexist men are bad is because they aren't living up to patriarchal ideals? Many such cases.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

This is a new form of “woke bullying” that I’ve seen. Take someone and find a character flaw, then twist it to make it out as them being some kind of bigot, and now you have a justified reason to be as nasty as you want towards them.

A brain rot example would be the streamer Pokimane getting sexist slurs and comments made towards her all the time with the justification being that she said the n-word with a soft “a” when she was 18.

projection IMAX levels of even, coming from boomers and gen-x'ers.

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I think that sub is mostly millennials.

I remember how much older gens shit on us when we were growing up and, seeing millennials do the same to the next generation is depressing in a "the cycle of abuse endures" kind of way.

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It wasn't even that long ago. Hell, I'm pretty sure I still see articles that shit on millenials. Its amazing how no one ever fucking learns.

[–] Ivysaur@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

you have to wonder if anyone even wants to learn.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

Pretty sad. We grew up in the shadow of our boomer parents that ended up hating on us and now we're doing the same to our kids, younger generation. So like you said it's just the system continuing.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

I’m already seeing it from zoomers when they talk about “gen alphas.”

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't like that mustaches have come back and having the worst ever mullet being a thing sucks but fashion is where it ends for me. Kids look like the worst part of the 80s that was emulated by early 2000s hipsters as the 20 year fashion cycle recycles what we recycled and seems to be choosing only the stuff millennials didn't like. Which makes sense, but relaxed fit jeans and Alan Jackson mullets with intentional teenage mustaches is a bad look. Otherwise there is practically no difference between the 'generations'

[–] Des@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

i'm personally just more fascinated by the current fashion cycle. also how elements of late 90s/early 00s nu-metal alt-fashion have also returned. i keep seeing zoomers that look like how we dressed in 1998 while listening to slipknot. only difference is the nose rings and more professional hair dye jobs (we had eyebrow rings and far shittier quality dyes)

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

Fr, recently saw a kid with a shaved head, Good Charlotte style eyeliner and leather trenchcoat recently.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe its because I had a catholic upbringing until highschool, but I remember being taught even as a kid that "yeah so you should totally be nice to people, and children are the future."

I dunno. I always saw the "children are the future" mentality as sort of a "no shit, they're younger, it's in the name" type thing. But thinking about it now? I haven't seen anything like respecting elders or kids in common discourse in like.....ages. Granted I'm in my mid 30s now and pay attention to different things than I did when I was young, but still.

I wish "be nice" was a thing that would be taken more seriously. I hold myself accountable too, I can be a crotchety bastard sometimes, and get disappointed in myself upon reflection.

Sorry for the ramble, taking a brain break from some freelancing qualification test.

[–] ped_xing@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

I think one of the few good lines from the Simpsons after Lindsay Naegle was introduced was "Children are the future. TODAY belongs to ME."

[–] Verenata@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Gen X literally invented buy now pay later. Every middle class parent is getting cars and home extensions etc on credit so they can fuck off with this one.

Absolutely no connection to reality. What do you expect from the privileged spoon fed generation with cheap houses and jobs galore.

[–] sudoer777@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

last time I was browsing that sub there were people complaining that underpaid gen z cashiers weren't greeting them at grocery stores (which btw nobody greets me at grocery stores regardless of what generation they're from so it's a ridiculous thing to complain about, then I got mass downvoted for pointing that out ofc)

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

literally only suburban boomers care about this bullshit

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

"I saw a cashier sitting at the til!"

"if you don't greet, I can't treat." - Boomer Proverb

[–] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

Ah yes, gen Z, definitely the first generation to be buried in mountains to debt to try and claim even a part of the supposed lifestyle that we’re told capitalism delivers.

Credit has basically kept this bitch afloat for like 50 years.

[–] Sator_is_Tense@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

i HATE these smug comfy middle class techbro types. i fucking HATE them. i wish only suffering and pain on them for their smarmy attitude towards suffering people. i wish SUFFERING upon them. you awful worms should SUFFER

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

We adore worms don't we folks.

[–] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

Big fan of my favorite drummer, Dr. Worm.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

millenials going the route of boomers?

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

We must now delude ourselves into believing it won't happen to gen z

[–] Wisp@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

Generational discourse is so fucking gross

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So one of the reasons they hate zoomers is that zoomers voted for trump, which isn’t even true lol. 18-29 was the bluest voting group, swing towards trump but it seems no bigger than any other age group. The Democrats fumbling isn’t on the zoomers lol

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

something happened to reddit in the last 4 years where it stopped being mostly miserable socially inept asshole nazis and became mostly miserable socially inept asshole liberals. like they're still talking about playing stupid game and winning stupid prizes, but they also voted for harris.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There was a big alt-right purge that took place with the Donald being banned, along with heavier moderation for things like blatant transphobia.

They still find ways to skirt around it but there’s been a noticeable difference.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

Even before that it leaned lib, but there’s definitely been a shift to that place being less awful.

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

mostly miserable socially inept asshole nazis and became mostly miserable socially inept asshole liberals

same-picture

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If they want to blame anyone, they should be blaming crackers, who overwhelmingly support Trump.

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

"We expect our friends and family to be awful, white people are individuals with their own agency unlike these traitorous children and minorities."

[–] Taster_Of_Treats@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

Compared to previous generations living off of credit card debtfor no reason (not talking about people who had no choice), an interest free payment plan is downright responsible.

Yeah I remember looking at that subreddit a couple weeks ago. A bunch of weirdos over there

[–] regul@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

So in this person's mind, the draft is instituted as a social program and then we just figure out a war to go fight.

They're so close.
