    My only thing with these kind of generational blaming memes is that it wasn’t “the previous generation” that fucked us, it was the rich and powerful. It ALWAYS has been and it ALWAYS will be. The average Joe in 1960 wasn’t wringing their hands like a bond villain going “nyeh heh heh, today I will invent CLIMATE CHANGE!” It was the CEO of companies like shell who knew about stuff like climate change and lied. Generation blaming isn’t productive and your aiming at the wrong people! Although the child hitting thing is actually just abuse and fucked up, THAT you can def blame the boomers for.

    Funny meme tho, sorry for the rant

      I got the spoon. The last time it broke on my knee and my mom just walked away defeated. We were both laughing.

    Don’t forget undermining democracy. Nothing like hearing the freshest Russian propaganda from my mother on a crisp Autumn morning.
