    A house they were given, with zero sacrifice, was on fire - they walked around as if they earned that house, looked down on others who didn’t have homes and righteously toasted marshmallows on the flames and ignored the real issue. They also enthusiastically voted for arsonists all along the way. The house is in ashes now and only option is to build a brand new house from scratch in the middle of hell where active fire will consume any new foundation before you can put up a single wall.

      Ahh, so the genocides and slavery and concentration camps and everyone in jail and the racism and misogyny and queerphobia and all that for two centuries was just “on fire”?

      Women couldn’t have a bank account on their own till 1978, but that was just “on fire”? Somehow who? The boomers? turned 200 years of “on fire” into “ashes” but then gave women the right to bank accounts and the ability to hold higher offices beyond secretary? Or the civil rights act? Or were those just fanning the flames?

      Somehow, what? When, in all the oppression and suffering, did it cross your imaginary threshold?

      I’m not defending the selfish fucking white boomers. I’m not defending X or the “greatest” or the silents or whoever. But if you want to genuinely change things, you have to see the whole two century shitfest for what it is. If you believe it is the fault of anyone you remember, you will fail at bringing about real change.

        You’re trying to make the discussion impossibly large so that no actual conversation can occur. You’re the person that responds to someone considering becoming a vegetarian with, “UH, WHAT!!! SO LIKE, WHAT ABOUT STEPPING ON BUGS? DID YOU EVER EAT A POTATO? YOU KNOW POTATOES HAVE A MEASURABLE INTELLIGENCE!!!”

        And frankly, you sound pretty manic in your responses generally. Hope you have someone to talk to about it in the real world.

          Won’t indict the American system of genocide, racism, and zealotry because
          Checks notes
          It’s too big.

          Would rather blame a single generation because
          Checks notes
          It’s easier.

          That’s a weird claim to make. Either way, your little strawman can’t distract from what you’re actually saying by ignoring the truth. You’re not limiting your scope to make fixing things easier.

          Either you are having a little limited scope tantrum at your parents or grandparents or whatever because you can’t see past your own childhood anger at them. Or you genuinely want to get back to the way things were going for poor whites in “the good old days” before the most recent changes.

            Again man, that manic episode is causing you to confuse allies as enemies in many cases I’m sure. You’re just all over the place and you’re doing windmill arms.

            Calm down and if you can’t, as mentioned, medication is not a weakness, for some it’s vital. Find that real person to talk to.

              lol. You tipped your hand. It’s “mad at their parents”. Your feint, after failing to get a rise by yelling, is a dead giveaway that I hit something. Nice try X’er.

                “Nice try, mortal weaklingz!!! You will kneel before lOrD eMeRaLdLoN!!!”
