Rich, I think this would have been a much better article/essay without the title. You obviously can’t boil down an entire generation into a single category for the sake of accusing them of letting down future generations. It isn’t fair when we do it to Boomers, and it isn’t fair to do it to Gen-Xers either. Millennials

My Greatest Generation grandparents were openly racist, and my Boomer mother told me circa 1986 that she believed AIDS was god’s wrath upon the homosexuals. Moving the needle of social progress against these two generations (the Boomer monolith and the heroic-can-do-no-wrong Greatests, as well as the Reagan Democrats)

“Let’s reflect on how everything the anti-woke brigade says now was already said by galactic piece of shit Camille Paglia back in the 90's” could be a really interesting article. “Let’s reflect on how a bunch of shit said by Camille Paglia, who was born in 1947, proves that Gen X was anti-PC” is one of the weirdest

I mean if they’re saying stuff like that, they don’t sound very left wing? :P

okay zoomer, sorry we couldn’t fix everything in one pass.

Yeah, but you sort of missed the point of my comment and the comment I was replying to. The point was that it is idiotic to blame a generation because they didn’t solve racism while they were “in charge”, be it Gen X, Millenials or Gen Z. There are racist shit bags in every generation, and people who fight against the

And co-opting wasn’t invented by Gen Xers, either. 

Cool. I look forward to Millennials fixing America’s social ills since Gen-X failed. Then I look forward to articles like this, written by Gen-Z, complaining that Millennials did not fix America.

Seems this is more an issue of the bigots co-opting language and twisting it than any particular failure of Gen X, to be honest. And I am certain that the same co-opting and turning into a slur happened before political correctness too. Seems that the bigots just don’t like it when we use language to describe their

Fuck that.

Alex Honnold had an interesting situation on his Instagram where he let one of his friends, a Black climber, take over his platform so that he could promote his initiative to get more urban, low income BIPOC individuals involved in climbing. He discussed how getting into it can be expensive and inaccessible for many

I don’t know what California parole boards are like, but parole boards in general are pretty strict about ever recommending parole. Parole is just not something that is granted cavalierly. So my guess is that this is not about a person who was locked up in her 20s, for a murder she committed when she was 19, and who

I feel you. I keep wishing for beauty to be fully acknowledged as another type of privilege that affects SO MANY THINGS.

If cancel culture was a real thing half of Hollywood would be out of jobs, Trump would never have been President, and the worryingly now mainstream “alt-right” would all be six feet under.

I’m dumbfounded. Honestly, my mother raised me when my sperm donor (dad) left. What I saw growing up was a women working her ass off trying to make a decent life for herself and her child (which she did!). I can’t imagine men like these and their reactions to women. I’m struggling trying to write this because I don’t

And Biden deliberately lost his other presidential campaigns, so that he could plausibly die in office and no one would suspect. It's all starting to make sense?

So, Biden ran for president because he wants to die and make Harris president. CHECKS OUT.

The only thing more ingrained in American human culture than racism is misogyny.

The same men who insist they cannot be expected to sit through a work conference call without yanking on their dick? Consistently amazed that the world continues to let the masturbatory, emotionally stunted half run shit.

I can confirm that our goal is absolutely a full-blown matriarchy. First we gain the presidency, then we start oppressing the men.

We start passing laws on what elective medical procedures they can have to erode their bodily autonomy, pay them less so they’re more dependent on us, only test medication on women so it’s
