      I have to say I’ve really liked this community when I’ve seen it pop up. Some good lefty stuff without falling into supporting tankies like certain other instances claiming to be leftist do.

    “Liberal” means free or freely and is an antonym of authoritism. In the US, the word liberal also means left wing and democratic. Please tell me who claims to be liberal but is arguing for police beatings. Because they only claim.

      Go check out WA Rep Adam Smiths (D) recent statement. Your average Democrat in politics is a wealthy right winger. Liberal democracy is the flavor of government which effectively institutes a dictatorship of the ownership class and limits the voice of the masses to a ballot box. USAs flavor of democracy is really the perfect example of the illusion of representation.

    This is the thing I love the most about the younger generations now.

    • Boomers: If you don’t like it do something about it
    • Gen-X: nah we’re too nihilistic
    • Millennials: sorry we’re too busy trying to survive on the scraps you left us
    • Boomers: that’s what I thought

    Now:

    • Boomers: If you don’t like it do something about it
    • Gen-Z/Alpha: okay!
    • Boomers: no, not like that!

      As millenials I think the best thing we can do for the later generations is to just take a back seat. Thanks to boomers our generation has never held political power, and if we accept that and immediately pass to the younger gens instead of trying to make up for lost time I think we will leave them in a better spot.

        As an almost 40 year old, nahh, we aren’t skipping 2 generations to give the power to zoomers just because some rich kids are protesting.

        We protested too. Don’t forget that.

      why does everyone lowkey suck at transcription in here lol. no hate just confused. small hate? your claims that this is a “transcription” is deceptive and disingenuous to those reliant on alt text and screen readers.

      actually 100% accurate transcript as follows:
