[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (2 children) In the same vein, you're all over this thread exclusively shitting on boomers and ignoring all other possibilities. Looks like Astro turfing to me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 month ago How is it astroturfing when boomers hold most of the power in most of the world governments and most of the wealth to boot? Also only tankies care to astroturf on lemmy, there aren't enough people here to give a shit but propagandists gonna propagandize. permalink fedilink source parent [–] almost_genocide@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago I'm all over this thread telling people to vote for anti-billionaire, pro-worker, anti-genocidal candidates in the primaries because there are too many pro-billionaire, anti-worker, pro-genocidal politicians in office. You don't think it's Boomers voting for those people in the primaries? Who do you think is electing those people? permalink fedilink source parent
