One thing about the greatest generation (my grandparents).
They saw some serious shit and were just legitimately happy we don’t have to see that same shit.
Funny how the coddled Boomer generation is often much more critical of the young, when they had the easiest ride ever.
They had it so easy but didn’t realize that that’s not the norm at all. They still expect the same to happen now. As if one can work through college and pay off all debts, or if just going to college meant landing a job, or even if you landed a job it would do little more than just make you live paycheck to paycheck.
Not even just that. My dad didn’t go to college, he joined the military at 18. He walked away from that and landed an engineering job with no degree. Now, he’s in a position that would ask for a masters minimum making nearly 300k a year.
I joined the military and walked away with bad knees and a list of phone numbers to get a job in the trades. Don’t get me wrong, I took it, but damn I’m sure as hell not making anything near what he was at my age.
Boomers were hardly coddled by the greatest generation. My grandfather was downright abusive by today’s standards. He would pour hot sauce down his kid’s throat when they cursed, probably hit them though they don’t really talk about it. Was it “beat them with a 2x4 and lock them in the shed” level abuse? No, but they didn’t exactly come out well prepared for the world and how they were raised probably was a part of it. I know I wouldn’t consider any of my grandparents’ punishments for my child, they are not the model for how to raise kids.
Who’a going to defeat the Nazis in Florida?
Climate change, when Florida disappears.
Why wait?
Nobody, that’s why they’re winning

What are we achieving with that second frame?
Blunting a very good point.
A point boomers, the children of WW2 fighters, intended to be driven into the backs of their own children.
Blunting that point, that’s the point. Blunting it with “It’s okay that you don’t have to kill, it’s good that you don’t have to kill, your choice not to kill is good. I love you.”
That is a convoluted and self-serving interpretation. Maybe that’s the real point. A post-structuralist kind of point, if you know what I mean.
It is a straight-forward interpretation grounded in a reality where many American homes are split by an elevated open hostility between parents and their adult children.
It’s auto-fellative fanfic that requires special flexibility to follow.
What in the fuck are you on about?
Just downvote me. It’ll make you feel warm and happy.
I’m impressed with your lack of ability to self-reflect. Like not once do you ask yourself why you might be getting downvoted. Or, “what if I’m wrong?”
I guess this is what your generation likes to do instead of getting therapy though.
The weekly visit is fictional, sure.
Just write woke or liberal instead of post-structualist, if it’s even possible to know what you mean…
It’s turning a Boomer comic into a wholesome one.
ok boomer
It originally was the one panel meme, but it was changed to this to make it friendly
The problem is expecting achievement from a meme.
