    Ironically, Vietnam was Baby Boomers’ avocado toast. Their parents were happy to keep shipping their children off to die so that politicians wouldn’t look weak in front of the public. Remember that students were murdered at Kent State over daring to exercise their First Amendment rights.

    Somehow those people STILL, as a generation, became gigantic shitbags who destroyed the world for their own personal gratification.

      Heard a comedian crack a joke about that. Went something like, “well all the cool Boomers died of drugs or AIDS so now we’re stuck with the hall monitors of the generation.”

      Hits a little to hard sometimes lol

        I actually think that it would be something they grew up with, along with aspic and jello salad.
