    That’s not really what I’m talking about. Being trusting of “the establishment” certainly helps make Fox News’s job easier, but I’m talking about people who had health insurance, good unions, qualified doctors, all that stuff, for all of their adult lives. It just leads you to generally be of this kind of boomer “firm eye contact and a handshake will get you far” mindset in life.

    It’s not fascist to like the system you’re embedded within because it gave you a fair deal.

      Oh sorry - I agree with you, I meant kids coming up have fascists as a main cultural source.

      I see how that could have been misinterpreted, my mistake.

        Oooh… I get it. Yeah, there are people all over their media who are playing up the cynicism and making it sound cool. That’s absolutely a big problem too. And yes, it makes them more cynical about everything (both the people who buy into it, and the people who don’t, which is an impressive achievement.)

      It is fascist to expect everyone else to play along because it benefits the boomer and the parasite class. They don’t even admit that they are exploiting the younger working people.

      Social security queens knows who pays their benefits.

      401k also relies on that labour.

      This class war has a huge age component. I am tired of people acting like the boomer going to come around. The boomer enabled the elites, they are a class enemy depsite most of them being stupid peasants themselves.
