...and now you've called me the real racist. congrats
oh, come off it. that's a pile of bullcrap and you ought to be sensible enough to know what it is I really said, which was... well read the fucking prose on your screen. it has a clear enough meaning and it came nowhere near "calling you the real racist". but you are being a real asshole.

btw, if I ever, for any reason, wanted to call you "the real racist" I would say "you are the real racist", because that would convey my meaning in the clearest and most direct way possible. however, that is not what I think, or what I wanted to say, or convey, or imply. racism is not involved anywhere in the stereotypes about boomers that you have promulgated here. you just have extremely negative feelings about boomers and obviously feel no compunction in making sweeping negative stereotyping statements about them.
I asked you to consider whether these were in any way useful, other than to vent your bile at a group that is FAR more diverse and interesting than you are willing to give them credit for being. You couldn't even do that much. Instead, you bit me. Thanks. I really appreciated it.

There is something deeply wrong with the NYT, that they would publish that thing without taking stock of the part they themselves played. Absolutely pathetic.

my parents are boomers and they complain about their peers more than anyone I know, although they tend to not say "boomers"
just a baseline unease with how their cohort in the upper middle class lost track of ideals. the thing that's lost in generational categorization is this constant: anyone who maintains working class status, especially those without the ability to retire, are seldom lumped into a generational category. it's flat: if you're broke, you're broke
― mh, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 13:49 (four years ago) link
I thought there are lots of studies that boomers have higher rates of divorce, suicide, unhappiness. But at the same time I guess those are the only people currently in that age bracket so we can't really compare. Most do seem deeply unhappy though.

If I recall correctly, she said almost that exact same thing in her book about the 2016 election, that Sanders kept trying to outdo her by offering wild, impossible, immature promises. She's the worst.

to be fair, if i spent my life in politics and ran for president with the high level support and resources she had -- and then lost to trump, i would be a bitter shell of myself too
― treeship., Tuesday, 21 January 2020 13:37 (four years ago) link
something about her inspires sympathy, i don't know. like everyone in the world learned about the details of her husband's infidelity, then she got dragged through that satanic 2016 election --with a large portion of the electorate coming to believe she was into ritual sacrifice or whatever pizzagate said -- these things are hard
― treeship., Tuesday, 21 January 2020 13:39 (four years ago) link
and she bears it all with like, such a grim sense of humor, only occasionally letting on how much seething hatred she has for the world.
i'd rather read a novel about her than bernie, i'll say that.

This “bernie is sexist” meme could sink him honestly. It doesn’t have to be coherent—the idea is just to tag someone with a label that would-be supporters would to distance themselves from, create an “ick” factor. If he wins the nomination and party bigshots don’t campaign for him on this ground, it will definitely suppress turnout. How much i can’t say

The most hilarious thing about this discussion is that it comes just as Bernie apologized for an attack on Biden by a surrogate in the Guardian. If the centrists attack, it's not because Clinton has sent the secret centrist cabal signal, it's because they can give as good as they receive, and attacks would anyway intensify as the campaign heats up.
