    Yup. A q I ask myself lately is: what happens when millennials grow out of socialism? Do they become super boomers?

    Difference is 60s had more coherent leadership, some of whom even had power. Opportunity was lost in 70s and ended with Reagan.

    Yup. We've polarised into extreme collective vs individualist materialists. But for me materialism is the issue.

    the antidote to shitconomy, assholery and brutality, cruelty, lack of empathy, feeling, fear... Critical self-examination.

    The most fun I have writing these days is my diary. Everything else is "intersectionality!" or "liberty!". Sides chosen, minds closed.

    One side hardcore Marxist buzzwords, the other pseudo libertarian. Collapse of middle not just economic, also political and cultural.

    But this great divide does make trying to discuss and write stuff tedious these days.

    Ah I'm just kidding around. In truth I'm not sure social democracy can work in the us.

    Plenty of us >40 see the problem applies to us too. And are terrified.

    And the people in the middle are busy having their midlife crisis to pick a side.

    Everybody under 30 is convinced The Revolution is the answer, everybody over 40's like "what's the problem?!"

    And us in our 30s are just reaching for the painkillers and chugging them down with vodka.

    Kind of. The darned kids today are hardcore socialists. Can't even reach them without speaking the lingo.

    just like we thought in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s?
