Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Black, gay and also incidentally TOTAL FUCKING IDIOT.
Or perhaps he’s just reeeeeally into being abused. Really gets off on humiliation from a particular section of white boomers and their inbred single-digit IQ MAGA offspring.
Just to note that not all white boomers are MAGA. My dad, a white boomer, though heavily fucked with dementia now, was a solid left-wing Democratic his whole life.
For sure not all boomers are conservatives, the ones that are close to me (including my parents) are all left wing and very progressive and none of them have an easy comfortable life or a big pension!
Yeah my mom was a die hard liberal our only political conflicts were that I’m an eco focused communist and she wanted a country just a bit left of what Obama campaigned on.
And it’s not even based on wealth every time. I’ve met boomers who drifted left as they got older and wealthier until they just started adopting their kids’ queer friends who had been rejected by their parents.
The question really comes down to whether or not they’re comfortable with the world changing and that people are different from them.
Yep, people without empathy exist in all generations, an empathetic boomer that sees their grandkids' future getting fucked won't be leaning right!
Word
A lot of these kind of people often let (or even request) you to call them by slurs, often as an attempt to get bonus points from the far-right.
Weird. Takes all sorts I guess.
