Lol, yep. Sneaks up on you faster than you think. What gets me about the vitriol against boomers is that they don’t realize the game being played on themselves as well. I consider myself of the little known lost generation. Those in between the boomers and the Xr’s that don’t identify or belong to either. Every generation since 1900 has had the shit manipulated out of them. No exceptions. There’s enough blame to go around. It’s nice finally to see an awakening happening across all the generations in the last few years.
This forum is a great way to break the generation barriers. Truth is truth no matter how old you are. I wish POAL, search engines, alt-news was around when I was in my 20s. They don't realize how good they have it. I grew up on 3 TV channels and 2 newspapers.
Lol, same here. Three TV news channels, Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post. Pretty much a single edged sword, whereas the internet has become a hard hitting double edge sword cutting both ways to the dismay of the previous sword wielders. Funny how at first it was the “boomer” jokes that spread like wildfire. Then the jokes became political as more information flowed into the pipeline that was once unavailable unless deep diving into hard to find records. Now we’re into what I would call the “memeformation” era, which IMHO has done more to inform and influence the public of truths than ever before. I know I have used them successfully to wake others up. Especially in a society with short attention spans. Humorous, short, to the point and logically truthful until it hurts. They inspire further research with the need and desire to share with others. It’s really I think, quite remarkable the change the “meme wars” have made upon the world in the last ten years.
Meme warfare is incredibly powerful. A picture is worth a thousand words.
