Boomers in the 80s and 90s were fucking depressed. They described their lives as a boring, soul-crushing existence where they did the same hollow shit day in and day out. They hated their bosses, they hated their jobs, their kids, their wife/husband. People had "Mid-life crises" where they tried to fill the void with "a fast car and a young hot fling." things capitalism told them would make them happy. It didn't.
Seriously listen to any media made by boomers when they were in their 30s-50s. It's all jokes about how fucking mundane life is.
Even at its peak, life under capitalism was hollow and soul crushing.
They were basically taught "as long as you keep your head down and play the game, we won't hurt you financially"
Sure, (if you were white and male) you had money, but it took everything else away. Community, friendship, family. Trapped them in a gilded cage. Having to watch their children having even that promise of financial stability ripped from them. And don't get me started on how terrible it was if you weren't a white dude.
I have to wonder if the "selfish, childish boomer" stereotype is something of a coping mechanism. Maybe some boomers are like that because thats their jokerfication.
But those idiots still worship capitalism.
I think boomers became fond of Minions because they saw themselves as Minions for capitalism; toiling but forcibly accepting it because there was no alternative and none perceived to be possible.
Minion would be such a good name to call CHUDs, particularly the younger ones.
Speaks an incomprehensible language that remotely sounds like English? (Based zoomer rizz sigma soy)
Exists to serve the greatest villain in the world (younger CHUDs are scarily enthusiastic to admit they're the bad guys, and get off to the idea of being bad.)
All act like idiots, but supposedly that's okay because it's charming to some section of the population.
Loud, annoying, and almost everywhere on the internet
Generally look the same.
You're absolutely right. I fully support any grassroots effort to establish chuds as minions the way that we locally call computer touching techbros "bazingas."
