I am a Gen-Xer.

 

[MatskiMonk]

We Gen-Xers weren't offended by anything.

Anything?

When you say "we", I'm assuming you're speaking on behalf of the majority demographic for where you live, and confusing the contemporary silence of GenXers that were on the receiving end of racial or homophobic abuse, as them being cool about it - thereby alleviating you of any moral responsibility to stand up for people that weren't you or your demographic.

Our generation let a lot of stuff slide that it probably shouldn't have done, we're not unique in that aspect, and I'm reasonably sure society will continue to evolve and the current generation have its eyes opened by generations beyond them. Might seem silly to you, but if that wasn't the way society would be a pretty **** place.

Aren't Gen-Xers known as the Karen Generation? Because I'm pretty sure they're known as the Karen Generation.

I'm in the weird early Millenial/Late GenX cohort so I get the worst of both. Lucky me. At least I don't put avocado on toast like a savage though.

By zoomer edgelords maybe.

Today I learnt "Karen" applied to guys as well...

Lord no. Gen X doesn't care enough about anything to be Karens; that's Boomers.

In fact that's the reason we're called "X", the mark of the unknown: we have no defining quality.

I was today years old when I learned Kwanza is a religion.

You can't fix stupid.

Karens aren't constrained by generations; they're defined by a sense of entitlement (whether legitimate or merely perceived) that knows no boundaries. I think it's the age group represented most (whether legitimate or merely perceived) in examples as the term has proliferated that leads one to believe it's a character trait of the age group.

This talk of Generation X gives me the urge to plug Kevin Gilbert's "Goodness Gracious," which feels to me like an anthem of sorts.



"Goodness gracious, my generation's lost
We burned down all our bridges before we had a chance to cross
Is it the winter of our discontent or just an early frost?
(Just an early frost?)"

That might be just a Jewish thing sir.

Have you tried avocado toast? I have only had it a time or two, but it is good.

"Watch" is doing some heavy lifting.

Okay, see...this is just annoying. I thought Amash's response was well-crafted and legitimately funny, but the captive image doesn't fit the post in its uncropped state thus fouling a clean screenshot.

Freedom for we but not for thee.

Alternatively, as Jordan Peterson would never say of the above scenario...

And they also (probably) spread anti-vax talking points meanwhile Fox mandates all of its employees get both the vaccine and booster.

At the risk of sounding cliché: That was perfect.
