    1968 gen Xer here.

    Not my experience at all. Boomers were way different.

    The biggest was in our refusal to be caged. Most gen person are far more independent them boomers were, even given tech disadvantages. This Is because the size of family units fell and became less dependent on each other.

    This led to a generation that, for the first time, didn’t NEED to rely so heavily on each other, and we embraced that in a way that won’t be seen again in a awhile.

    That scared the boomers because THEY weren’t able to control us as their parents did.

    And thus the de-evolution from hippy to facist.

      I think your alls love affair with conspiracy theory culture is why so many of you have become fascist. I have seen this with my own parents (one of them being the same age as you).

        What the he’ll are youvtalking about? Millennial and boomers are far more fascist. We want be left the fuck alone. And BTW all the cannon ship didn’t exist back then. We had a few things ,ufos, Kennedy, dr.king

        But this internet conspiracy age is squarelybon the millennial shoulders. They invented them, used sales tactics and tech to drown the gullible in bullshit, and voila.

        Gen xers created your computers, you spread the garbage.

          And I notice you said “you alls” so you’re NOT gen see as you claimed. We don’t use that phrase either.

          So I’m smelling deception on your end.

          Edit And you deleted it to make it seem as you just replied lol.
