Xer's never really got over that "everyone is dumb except for me" phase that most ditch after they actually get kissed.
Eh. The Gen Xers I know all admit they'd be fucked in today's housing market if they didn't already have theirs. The are generally very sympathetic and appreciate how lucky they are.
To modify this comic, they sit down for a show and are quickly horrified at the brutality of the spectacle.
Meh. Whatever man.
I'll give them cred for not being like the boomers.
I'm so tough. I'm the toughest. Gen Z and Boomers aren't tough enough. I'm the though one. Yeah, I might have been neglected as a child but that made me tough, definitely not emotionally stunted. Tough tough tough. I'm tough.
—Average Gen X'er to the mirror every morning
The world has been fighting Boomers for 4 decades. They're not all villains, but certainly the majority of villains are Boomers.
Probably because the majority of people are boomers. They're called baby boomers because their population exploded across the world.
Also let's be frank, it's a class divide. Boomers had a huge leg up, and then those who amassed great wealth are the ones we see in power making decisions that close doors to the younger generations.
But back to my point, of course those who have had 60+ years to amass and invest wealth are going to be richer, especially when they had something to invest at the start.
I think when we consider that Gen Z men are running to the right, we should rethink boomers as a scapegoat. It's not the boomers. It's the rich and the Andrew Tates of the world who are in the boxing ring.
Like I could probably take down a random boomer, but a billionaire could hire Mike Tyson and I'd be fucked in the ring.
Boomer voting preferences haven't help things either.

We should be fighting the 1%, not each other.
You forgot the fact that the 1% keep us poorly educated and propagandized against our own interests on purpose.
We're so fucking stupid as a result, that Americans believe the following unironically:
I've met some people that are that fucking stupid.
It's incredible to me that they manage to put on pants and get to work on time each morning.
The comic is funny, but only in the sense that is a media presentation trying to make an age war rather than class war.

Pitting 'generations' against each other is a classic tactic to divide the people on meaningless bullshit. Don't fall for it.
Culture war is a means to distract us from class war
This seems more accurate.
The top labels are reversed. I doubt a lesbian icon would be something boomers would appreciate.
Not to mention her capacity for change.

Meanwhile gen x are the most conservative generation
Gen X looks too young in this.
I get that a lot.
I mean we are talking about people 45 to 60 years old at this point.
I look young. I feel old but I look young. So much so the people I work with thought I was in my early 40's when I was hired four years ago. I'm nearly 54.

Me who's both:
I'm near the start of the millennial generation, my older brothers are Gen x and more in-between than I am. There's about 5-6 years between all of us and we represent two generations in varying degrees.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xennials
Xennials are the micro-generation of people on the cusp of the Generation X and Millennial demographic cohorts.
Many researchers and popular media use birth years from 1977 to 1983,[1] though some extend this further in either direction.[2][3] Xennials are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood. Xennials are almost exclusively the children of baby boomers and came of age during a rapidly changing period that was the 1990s.
I've heard it referred to as the Oregon Trail generation.
Yeah, pretty much all of us fit in that range.
I easily fit in more with millennials than my brothers do. My oldest brother acts a lot more like Gen x than the rest of us.
Gen X was Trump’s biggest supporter in the last election. More than boomers even.
Obviously not true of every Gen X’er, but when Gen Z talks about boomers they’re usually inadvertently referring to Gen X.

The generations are:
- Boomer: anybody older than me who I disagree with.
- Millennial: anybody younger than me who I disagree with
- Gen Z: anyone who uses whichever social networks are taboo at the moment.
The are no other generations.

That Gen Z fighter is going to turn around, hit their trainer in the nuts and call them a boomer.

Let's ignore discrepancies in economics, geography, race and culture and suggest people behave, en mass, based on the decades they were born in.
This is just astrology for the politically feeble.

Weren't the statistics from the last election a big deal because Gen Z actually didn't align with Millennials?
I'm pretty sure I saw people getting mad at the number of young voters who opted to vote for Trump
Could be wrong though
No, they're just less left leaning than Millennials were at that age. 66% of Millennials voted for Obama, whereas only 54% of Gen Z voted for Harris.
You didn't need to be "left leaning" to vote for Harris. Just, you know, not insane.
Is it that they're less left leaning? Cause when you put the names of the candidates there (Obama vs Harris), it just sounds like a weaker candidate that didn't move their base as much.

With Gen Z there's also a huge gender disparity, the boys are NOT okay, they're the Hitler Youth.
That said, Gen X voted for Trump in greater numbers than the Boomers.
Gen X aren't spectators. They're fucking MAGA, and they were also the ones writing the shitty generation war articles.

Obama was a far more compelling candidate. Don't blame the voters for the DNC pushing milquetoast candidates.
I think you can't discount all the people that wanted to vote for the first black president too.
