Incorrect, houses can move during extreme weather conditions

[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

Yeah. I bet most cars are a higher % of surface area window than most houses. Theory could still hold.

We live in a generation obama-socialism angry-place

I think boomers were real, that was something that happened with a clear cause and a huge bubble worked its way through the age distribution like a big rat through a snake. Every other "generation" is just arbitrary intervals.

[-] blobjim@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago

Even boomers is mostly referring to well-off white people (and some people of other backgrounds) who have reaped the rewards of the emergence of the American Empire as the global superpower. It's really a label about wealth, not just being born somewhat soon after WWII.

[-] Enjoyer_of_Games@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago

The bubble of population growth ie the "boom" in "boomer" is part of what contributed to their wealth. The surplus labor of boomers in their youth did not need to support as significant a population of older generations who were less numerous to start off with and additionally lost a great many as casualties of war. As boomers age the reverse becomes true and the new generations must support an enormous elderly population of boomers. This intersects with the many other factors that we are all familiar with on this forum.

gen z had like 14% turnout, this election doesn't really tell us anything about their political views.

[-] SmokinStalin@hexbear.net 40 points 11 months ago

It just tells us that the only gen z motivated to vote were the fascist ones 🤷 Wonder if the genocide has anything to do with that .

Drove past a guy today parked near an intersection sitting in his Honda Civic with 2 Trump flags attached to the bumper and a flashing light on top of his car. Just sitting in his car.

These people are energized.

[-] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 22 points 11 months ago

I didnt think even about the turnout. We are basically back to young people just not voting at all i guess.

[-] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago

Damn I wonder why young people didn’t vote

-me fuckin 1776

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 29 points 11 months ago

This election didn’t really prove they’re either as well. A record number of them went out to vote against trump in 2020 and this year most stayed home due to apathy. It’s not like Trump gained a wide number of new converts with him underperforming.

I'd say it's a less centrist generation. More radicals on both sides of the equation.

[-] Poogona@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago

I think I've done too much generational analysis, everywhere I look I see generations. I think it's a millennial thing to do so much generational analysis. Everything feels enveloped in another generation to me. Now I can't tell gen alpha from gen Renaissance, it's all just gen post-agrarian to me now, and I find myself hating those boomer-gatherers for fucking it all up

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 22 points 11 months ago

Gen Z is truly a land of contrasts

I love when there's a panic about some demographic doing something bad, and then you find out that the demographic does the bad thing marginally less than everyone else

[-] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago

From TAing during grad school, gen Z is fantastic especially the younger ones (that are about 20-21 rn). Totally anecdotal but they were really resilient and supportive of their peers/community. Those that participated and supported the pro-palestine encampments prove this IMO. Im not particularly worried about gen Z as a whole, just half of their white men who vote based on 2 minute JRE clips

[-] Biggay@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago

As someone in a similar environment, you got to take these people you meet with a grain of salt. Theyre already self selected through college, colleges are something of a bubble.

[-] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

True but i still sense some good vibes at least, frankly though i also know a lot of dipshit white men in that age group so maybe im just coping

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 13 points 11 months ago

Solidarity amongst the working class, no matter their age. Do not let ourselves be divided against each other.

bespoke: gen-z isn’t a generation

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It does appear to be a uniquely Rizzy generation though. I think. I don't know what these young people words mean.

So what you're saying is that Gen Alpha will be the revolutionary vanguard?
