It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The statement holds true not for gen-z entirely, but for how a certain class of content-creators uses language on a particular platform. It’s almost like the medium is the message or something.

I'm not sure I agree with the premise on the title here to be honest, at least personaly I think there is a very clear and obvious distinction between people who were born in the inter WW1-WW2 period and past WW2-1950's what Marxists call the "golden age" of capitalism. I didn't name them here, but it is obvious what these names are. I can still distinguish them because those historical facts are tied to material realities of the time too.

Now with all that said, sure the tweet person is a dumbass, like taking a simple inconsistency/slang/mistake whatever you call of English language and running with it? Please don't base your education out of whether or not you agree with urbandictionary.com is all I'll say.
