  • Started to see this bullshit on the rise with people vibing their way through deciding on the vaccination schedule (or not) for their children as early as the 90s (in my anecdotal experience). I’d just shake my head at younger boomers, people in my generation (Gen X), and even more so at Gen Y, since I seemed to run into so many in Gen Y that bought into the antivax nonsense. Definitely got into arguments with people over it.

    It’s all so very stupid. My mom (boomer) and my grandmother (Greatest Generation) were both nurses and they were both livid about this new stupid trend back then. It’s only gotten stupider since then, apparently, now getting an endorsement from an Idiocracy that seized power.

    It’s too bad it’s so hard to pass down wisdom to younger generations. Of course, conservatism intentionally makes that even harder to do. So many seem hell-bent on learning hard-knock lessons of about a century ago.







  • Yet the average person is so brainwashed by corporate media that almost everybody thinks that conservatives are good for the economy.

    That’s the one that blows my mind. I’ll be talking to reactionary centrists (that are probably voting Republican at least sometimes) and they will often concede a lot, but then say something like, “yeah, but at least Republicans know how to run an economy”?

    It’s like…in what fucking universe? They like to point to Covid as somehow bringing it all down for poor PEDOnald, but cannot really show how he was remarkably better than the economy under Obama prior to Covid? Also, they cannot really point to what policy of Biden’s was so bad for the economy?
