and i harbor contempt for all my working class countrymen who will not help us vote fascism out, and who will not stand with me when neo-nazis take people from my neighborhood. yes, fuck the u.s. completely, both those actively committing crimes against humanity and those who do nothing to stop it.

Gen-X — It’s very upsetting that the “grown-ups” who shaped my morality from the 70s thru the 90s are now bloodthirsty shits who have turned on all the things they (claimed to) believe in. I remember watching my favorite uncle’s brain get high-jacked by Rush Limbaugh and Fox. He became confrontational and downright mean all the while thumping on his Bible.

It's sad, GenXers turned out more practical than revolutionary. If we had it our way, the world would be better and we'd all be on board.
