Man I'm on my magical journey to become the most cynical person who ever lived myself but c'mon. There are better reasons to hate someone than their age like for example their weight, fashion choice, how they sound or how much they're into mechanical keyboards.
It's fun to trash the whole post-war generation, but we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that they were just as victimized by class warfare as we are. They benefited from the economic boom and were then lulled by their own masters into believing it was sustainable and things would be just as good for their own kids and grandkids. They were lied to too.
Never forget that the real enemy isn't any one group except for the oligarchs and leeches at the top of the economic ladder. We shouldn't focus our ire on those people in between us and the top. They're not the ones controlling the taps on the river of shit flowing down.
Those goddamned keyboards. All I hear in this house is the constant clacking and tapping drowning out every goddamned thought I ever hoped to have. I can't get through a single episode of Bonanza without the incessant claxon of feckless tip-tappery. Fuck those goddamned things!
Maybe I should get a different keyboard.
I'm getting so tired of the boomer bashing. It's lazy and just helps to divide us even more. Isn't that what the people with power want?
Dude! You're a keyboard denyist! For shame! He who clicketies, shall clack for us all!
