A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

This. Also, seeing that the world is going to shit at the same time as boomers begin to die makes me think they weren't that bad after all.
Thats like saying the cirrhosis that kicked in after you stopped drinking means your years of alcoholism weren't the cause
They're just getting dementia so they're making worse decisions while retaining office.
The politicians and billionaires actually have decent Healthcare, so they live longer than the voting boomers as well.
Boomers are by and large objectively less ethical than the generations that followed them. However, no sweeping generalization can really be true and even if they could be, the original post here is not helpful.
OK, I am sorry, but I am pretty sure, your use of objectively is wrong here!
What empirical evidence are you basing this claim on?
Language is imprecise. What I'm saying is that I have known many, many boomers who actively do not give a shit about their fellow citizens. Millennials tend to give a shit. Be pedantic about it if you will, but I've no doubt that if such a study existed to measure this, there would be data to back up what I'm saying. I do not wish to enter into an argument about this or the words I used. I think my point is a fair one and many people have noticed the same trend.
