Maybe if your generation hadn't repeatedly voted for parties that gutted our social safety net through continuous austerity measures to encourage private enterprise, you wouldn't be in this situation, Ginette.
Temper your condescension with the awareness that you have no fucking idea how Ginette spent her life voting. Imagine being a lifelong NDP supporter struggling in your twilight years only to be met with the pitiless snark of some mellenial edgelord who presumes to know you just by your age.
That's a fair point. Think about the pitiless snark of boomers who pretend to know us millenials by our age too. Housing isn't expensive, you just are lazy and eat too much avocado toast!
That's exactly right. We've been on the other end of this. We're still on the other end of this.
Over my life, I've met many people who have been systemically oppressed. It's like they're being held to the ground, a boot on their neck.
Most of them just dream of a world where they can be free of that oppression... But for some people... Their minds grow diseased, and they instead of dreaming of a world free from oppression they dream of one day becoming the boot.
Don't be the boot!
