    Translation: you’ll become more conservative when you have children and own a home

    Millennials: 😆
    Zoomers: 😂
    Alpha: 🤣
    Whateverthefuckcomesnext: 💀

      I’ve been fortunate enough to have seen my material conditions improve as I’ve entered my mid-thirties which has let me start a family and buy a home. I’ve also watched my incredibly talented and hard working friends/acquaintances/neighbours be ground into dust under the cruel rule of capitalism. I got lucky, they didn’t, this has radicalized me far more than any naive idealism ever could.

        You joke, but if you ever talked to a homeowner about their lawn and heard them complain about their neighbor’s lawn…

            Your lawn is green concrete; a lifeless painting with nothing for pollinators.

            Your neighbor’s lawn has wildlife in the deadlands of the suburbs.

                A tiny little strip of life, carefully manicured to minimize nature as much as possible.

                Might as well pave over the rest of it and just have potted plants for all the good that does.

      I have a child and own a home, and am a member of the lost generation. Fuck the Republican Party and any conservative who believes their selfish bullshit should outweigh the greater good of others.
