I do enjoy how GenX doesn't appear at all. Very appropriate.

MODERATORS
After trying and failing to reach them for comment, we finally heard from them. They just told us "whatever, man."
Whatever… just whatever.
Gen X: you pussies should have been around in the 70's and 80's
We have a stronger survivorship bias than the following gens, but we also sucked on leaded gas fumes for a while when our brains were still developing.
So anyway, whatever.

Gen X had it's Part in Memes and grew up. Like tech savvy boomers, Generation X seems predominantly stuck in the middle tier of the career ladder, overshadowed by their Boomer parents. However, they maintain a benevolent and generous attitude toward younger generations. They are fully aware that they will likely never own property, and having children is a significant risk. This painful realization hit them some time ago, hence their sense of empathy. The later you're born, the more pain you inherit.
We will age and die in our office chairs, and our Zalpha children will burn our bodies to fuel their air conditioners. We will finally find our purpose. Don't worry about us: we are content enough.
You realise Gen Xers are all in the 40-65 age bracket now, right? Nearly all way beyond the deciding-on-children age. And heaps of them own property (at least where I live).
Or just get some more decades to marinate in hatred.
I am a middle child in the generational equivalent of a middle child.
GenX what's that, a new shoe coming out?
We've been around for like sixty years now. If we were milk we would have developed culture. But we're not so we didn't.
Tony Hawk is the best Gen Xer, and dude's chill AF.
Shh! We don’t want them to notice us.
We are too busy getting shit done to worry about the idiots.
we are "the maps without new zealand" generation
votes for Trump at a greater rate than any other generation
Wonders why no one wants to acknowledge them

I get so confused with people portraying Gen Z as these radical socialists when time after time voting shows they are anything but. Especially Gen Z men as a group are extremely conservative. At least in the US.
- Ages 18-24: 44% for Trump, 54% for Harris
- Ages 25-29: 52% for Trump, 48% for Harris
- Ages 30-44: 52% for Trump
- Ages 45-64: 56% for Trump
- Ages 65 and older: 61% for Trump

More conservative than in the past, but so is the whole country (by votes- most Americans don't vote). Compared to other age groups though, gen z voted less conservative (unless you consider that Harris is basically a conservative)
I didn't mean to imply that Gen Z is less conservative than older generations. A pretty low bar to pass under lol
how does the word "conservative" mean the same thing from generation to generation if the issues important to conservatives change every generation? I'm asking about the term, not the politics

Keep in mind that those numbers are always going to be off from reality. Also it will vary heavily by state.
Gen Z is just more extreme in their views, regardless of what their actual politics are.
The rightists want a Reich, the leftists want a global communist revolution, and there's no center.
This poll suggests otherwise.
Gen Z adults (21%) are less likely than all generational groups except millennials (21%) to identify as Republican. Meanwhile, 36% of Gen Z adults identify as Democrats, and this rate is similar to other generations, with the exception of Gen Xers, who are less Democratic (31%).
With the exception of millennials (24%), Gen Z adults (28%) are notably less likely than other generational cohorts to identify as conservative. And Gen Z adults (43%) identify as liberal at a higher rate than other generations. A plurality of Gen Z teens (44%) identify as moderate.

Might be the “horseshoe effect” where they (ultimately) converge on a few things. Change the tshirt, and that would fit trumpy gen z too.
Horseshoe theory is an incorrect oversimplification of extreme politics. If it were true then anarchists would be no different than fascists, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

They are the least liberal generation since they grew up surrounded by the failings of liberalism. They are either hardline conservatives or leftists. Very few fall between those camps

PLEASE stop this.
It's not left or right
It's not this generation or that generation
It's not black or white
It's not men or women
These are distractions amplified through for profit media and captured education to keep us undermining one another, can you not see that?
As ever, it Owners vs Laborers. I don't mean your 3.111110 shares of apple in your 401k BTW.
The owners leverage all of the above to keep us at each other's throats instead of looking up.
Don't hate the class traitors like McDonald's lady, pity her. She was made into a self hating beaten dog by guess who?
We. Have. A. Common. Blight. The ones killing us and our planet for short term profit.
The one's perpetually encouraging the poors tear eachother apart over every petty difference to maintain their class occupation and subjugation of us.
Louder for the people in the back:
THERE IS NO WAR BUT THE CLASS WAR.
I mean there are others but the others shouldn't be fought really but it's insanely hard to cure dumb with these drug laws.

[proceeds to make a solid leftist argument]
I've never heard a solid conservative argument.
no, because I'm racist isn't a sound reason to do things lmao
CEOs need to start dropping around the holiday season, instead of prices.

I see GenX didn't answer. Typical slackers
Can't answer when we were forgotten about again. IF we had been asked we would have replied, "meh, whatever."

Nobody asked us!
I didn't get the fax either, maybe it went to my pager
I worked at a Kinkos (a small printing and office supply shop) around 1999 and so many people set their faxes to the main stoore number instead of the fax number
Me: Hello, Kinko's.
Phone: short pause [hellish screetching noises]

"It's my retirement plan"
Uff that hit too close to home
Gen z is all about gambling for their future, because there's no other way. Influencer careers, crypto scams, scalping

At first I was like a cocktail and a vibrator. Then looked at the previous panels and it's actually microphone... Maybe..
It's true, I'm saving for retirement, but I sure as shit am not expecting it to exist when I get there.
