The Millennials are getting nostalgic
- butlike 6mo agoIt's so funny when a member of the younger generation comments. Younger generations are always trying to kill off the older generations. Both physically and metaphorically, too! It makes sense in a way. If you were actually successful in doing that, you could finally make the world in your image instead of having to work around all those pesky "legacy" viewpoints that hold back the True Progress of the Younger Generation. But alas, the older generation still exists, because the younger can't do it. But do continue with the passive aggressive comments. While it keeps me spry, you still get paid entry-level wages when you should be kings.
- dlev_pika 6mo agoAs a xennial I wish we had successfully “killed” the boomers, but instead we have 3 septuagenarians blowing shit up all over the world We failed so hard
- frereubu 6mo agoYeah, great anticipation for the undoubtedly forward-looking xennial Mojtaba Khamenei in Iran.
- mystraline 6mo agoGotta really "love" the fact that extremist Islamic country treats a whole host of people horribly (women, gays, non-muslims). But if you say anything about it, you're an islamophobe. Same way if you criticize Israel's actions, youre lambasted as a jew-hater. But at least now thats starting to change.
- krapp 6mo agoBecause people in the former group don't criticize those countries, they criticize Islam, and tend to categorize all Muslims (specifically Muslim immigrants) as ontologically evil. Meanwhile people in the latter group tend to be very specific that their criticism is of a state and its policies, rather than the religion of Judaism or Jews in general, even though their efforts tend to fall on deaf ears.
- mystraline 6mo agoIndeed, it both feels like the same type of pro-theocratic propaganda. Its a way to disingenuously claim "you hate everyone of our group", when thats demonstrably not true. You likely hate the actions a country masquerading as the group inflicts against others. My disdain is for all theocratic countries. I dont particularly care for any religion that takes over a government. And I do include the USA in that, as theocratic fundamentalist christanity. Ive done so since changing the pledge of allegience and adding "in god we trust" on the currency.
- butlike 6mo agoWe hate the demagogue for being a demagogue and their followers for being stupid.

- throwawaypath 6mo ago>they criticize Islam, and tend to categorize all Muslims (specifically Muslim immigrants) as ontologically evil. Islam is ontologically evil. People who believe in ontologically evil are ontologically evil people. In before you whataboutism Christianity/Judaism.
- krapp 6mo agoSo people who believe in ontological evil are themselves ontologically evil. But because you believe this, you yourself believe in ontological evil, and therefore are ontologically evil. Weird flex but OK.
- krsw 6mo agoGotta really "love" the fact that bigots and xenophobes treat a whole host of religions and regions horribly. To them Islamic or Arab is monoculture. Same way all countries in the Mid East are all barbaric and savage. But at least now thats starting to change.
- butlike 6mo agoGotta really "love" the fact that "bigots and xenophobes" is its own overly-broad brush
- TurdF3rguson 6mo agoYeah, like how did the guy that doesn't want women and gays to be oppressed become the bigot / xenophobe?
- mystraline 6mo agoI am OK with you personally practicing a religion and its rules. I am NOT OK with you forcing me to follow some religion's rules. And yes, I will look down on countries whom choose to force a specific religion on everyone. We can look in our own backyard, with multiple abortion bans, which lead to many women dying due to miscarriage and needing abortion. Was illegal (cause of baby Jesus, spit) so women died. Or we can look at Saudi Arabia school fire in 2002 where the girls didn't have headdresses and were shoved back in. They died due to radical Islamic bullshit. Or the idea of "Religious police". Religion and government should never mix. Not ever. Our founding fathers and Marx were all right about that.

- masfuerte 6mo agoLook on the bright side. In three months Trump won't be a septuagenarian any more.
- cucumber3732842 6mo agoThey're getting old, and with that enough of them are getting rich. And that makes them worth pandering to so they can be parted from their money. See for example all the commercials that feature 90s crap and political talking points intended to appeal to them.
