Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

the fuck are you on about?
"Ok boomer" and "boomer energy" aren't directed at boomers, necessarily, they started as replies to young people saying old fashioned things.
Like, for example, hating gay people.
Boomer is a mindset.
It's bigotry based on ageism. It's not fundamentally different from homophobia.
Maybe Boomers shouldn't have fucked the world and every younger generation.
Oh the 'world fucking' started way before the boomers. But the boomers sure didn't help things.
Seems like they adopted the world fucking, transformed it, and diversified it into new areas. World fucking used to be about war, finance, manufacturing, and pollution. Now it's about war, finance, media, fashion, manufacturing, the internet, politics, tech, society, food supplies, religion, pollution, and making the rich feel better about themselves.
Yes it is, because "boomers," by definition of the word's intended memetic use, are old yes, but more specifically they are old rich people in power. Using "boomer" as an insult doesn't hurt them. Meanwhile the actual boomers are literally trying to stigmatize and criminalize queerness. It's the same logic that makes it ok (encouraged even) to be racist against white people, it just doesn't affect us.
Nope. It's the paradox of tolerance in action. Try to keep up...
People who punch down will always play the victim when someone punches up.
I thought you called others snowflakes? You're sure acting like one
You aren't born a boomer and not be able to do anything about it though.....
Did you drop the /s?
A boomer is literally anyone born in the US between 1945 and1959.
Didn't the boomers do Stonewall, by the way? And plays like Hair? And books/shows like Tales Of the City?
Not sure how that generation ended up getting pinned with this stuff, but they (due to their size) were able to start putting a dent in the universe, if you will.
