What is being imposed on you, boomer?

Well I come from a generation that expanded human conversation rather than tried to cancel it in self righteous and self indulgent rage.

George Carlin was praised, now your lot tries to cancel anyone, even comedians, anyone who does not paint by half wit PC intellectual numbers and dares try to make you fire up some neurons before your ever ego mirror gazing platitudes.


I hope that helps.

It exists, so JK Rowling is burned at the stake for talking about biological reality.

Same with Dave Chapelle, even Ricky Gervais for simply pointing out what a half wit and PC Puritanical, and let it be said, boring generation you are.

My son is 16, his generation is rejecting yours.

They have had a gutful of that self absorbed preening.

They are rip roaring all Wild West when it comes to human opinions.

I love them.

I assume you are projecting my presumed homosexuality, out of pure lust.....  I never claimed to be indigenous either.  Right wing filth ALWAYS assume if you stand up for someone, it's yourself you're defending

It has never occurred to Twitter if everyone is a racist no one is.

If teenagers—as you claim with a too broad brush—are "rejecting" the knowledge
and inherent worldly wisdom of the baby boomer generation, then they do so
to their own detriment as future adults.

In fact it's been acknowledged that today's youth demographic is one of the most
self-absorbed and self-entitled in the last thirty years...

You're both right. PC is all about manners yet there are those that feel that demand for manners in certain situations is hypersensitive, reductive even (to the brighter amongst them).

I was pretty young when the zeitgeist of PC hit so it was a bit of a no-brainer for me; refer to people how they would like to be referred to and try to avoid terms that cause offense.

Easy.

But i have empathy.

The thing is, to many people, asking them to "be" PC is very much putting the cart before the horse. And, let's face it, most of these people are Boomers.

They don't understand why their "jokes" aren't funny anymore; why their language usage is offensive. They honestly don't think it causes any harm. They have not chosen a path of empathy. They have not listened to the reasons why certain things are taboo ... they're just furious that they are.

So they resent. And resent it so hard do they that they've gone on to resent anything the "young" are trying to tell them. Things like climate change, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence and mounting tangible evidence.

So, in short terms, they resent PC ... which i reiterate, just never was even the smallest of issues for me. Or for most of my generation or the generations following me. But i can see why people would be resentful of it.

And i pity them.
