I love this channel, and starting my day with this video, it put me into this amazing open-hearted place where I long to unite with others to build something better whereas I am much more prone, normally, to angrily wish to tear the capitalist's world down.

    Boomer communists exist but are extremely rare. To be bourgeois in the USA usually means that you are also a boomer and vice-versa. Even if you don’t actually own any capital, the social safety net that exists for boomers + the lifetime you’ve spent having the entire country and planet bend over backwards for you means that you are almost certainly either a liberal or a fascist.

    I mean, yes, boomers clearly need a lot of mental help, but that’s probably going to come after capitalism (which they almost universally adore) is destroyed.

    Also, there were more cool boomers once upon a time, but most have died via social murder.

      It's a joke but true, every commie meeting or socialist thing I've been to either has under 30s or over 70 year olds and nothing in between lol.

        To me, that just means orgs need to work on providing better childcare for their members. 30-60 (maybe not so much 60, more like 30-50) is around the age when you have kids to take care of.
