Lucky for me my parents were both “I didn’t save anything for retirement, my kids will take care of me when I’m older”, so I don’t have to suffer through this.

    There is no war but the class war, full stop.

    The boomer I see sleeping on the sidewalk every morning is more a victim of capitalist fuckery than I’ll ever be. There’s no war but the class war, everything else is secondary.

      Yes that one boomer is a victim and many of are also victims but at same time they spout what tv told them as gospel when you bring up any issues within system.

      If they want ally with the working class good, but as a group of people I don’t see anything like this.

      But most of them lack proper education or they think it is not in their self interest to demand any serit reform.

      They are not allies as a group of people and many of them nk longer work either. So they don’t care for working class struggle.

        There is no war but the class war comrade.

        We have more in common with an entitled boomer or homeless man than we do with Elmo or Zuck (or McConnell or Pelosi) or any of the other elite. Everything else is a distraction to class consciousness, don’t fall into the same trap lead-brained and propagandized victims of childhood abuse do. They are not the enemies.
