OTTAWA – Statistics Canada says there are now more millennials than baby boomers in the country, ending the 65-year reign of the post-Second World War generation as the largest cohort in the pop...

What about Gen X? Seriously, there’s an entire generation in the middle there.

My dad is a weird mix of voting for an obscure explicitly communist party while complaining how socialism ruined everything.

He expresses literal anti fasicm on principle but thinks of antifa as a violent mob.

He believes there is a woke agenda trying to manipulate society but he cant explain what woke is besides refering to cases of forced political correctness or brands changing their profile pictures to pride, he has no issues respecting lgbt, nature and is so much not a christian, he went out of his way to get debaptized.

I cant get him of Facebook, he is addicted. I told him i was probably going to delete mine this year, he told me he is certain id be back in a few weeks like his genx mates… i havent visited my profile in over 3 years, its only the familie groups chat messenger left on it. I told him but it doesn’t compute that anyone can exist without.

In all seriousness i think there better of as the forgotten generation, technically they are allies and i am certain they have roles, positions and effects on society just like every generation. But we need a real change, a break with the old, we cannot do that by lething the brainwashed lead us.

You should feel sorry for the Gen Xers. Think of how hard it is to deal with Boomers now. Now imagine being a teenager and having your thirty- to forty-something Boomer parents completely crush you over their political beliefs.

Who?

The generation that made coffee and Bill Murray the foundation of their personalities

We never had the numbers to outnumber either of the giant generations on either side of us
