The only thing more cringe than hearing people say this shit in the wild is the following lecture on its fascist origins that I follow it up with.

[–] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I can't believe you hear this shit in real life.

What, you don't know any boomers too clueless to know they're the "weak" generation?

[–] FaeDrifter@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Omfg thank you. Nothing made me cringe harder than seeing Joe Rogan post this bs, like my brother in Christ, it was you and the boomers that wrote and voted on the policies that created our current social/political/economic environment.

Way to accidentally, ignorantly blame yourself for being the "weak man".

But with all fascist nonsense it's not supposed to make sense, just feel good to them.

Apparently my boomers are either slightly smarter than yours or know not to say really stupid shit to me.

I just ask mine why grandpa paid for their college on a GM factory wage but they didn't pay for mine with three times his effective income.

[–] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean I can afford to live better than my dad did growing up working in the same factory as my grandfather. Granted, my dad has 9 brothers and sisters.

Interesting. The secret to my success has been "not breeding like a particularly slutty rabbit" as well.

Every time I've heard it it's followed by the cavite that it's just a pithy quote, sometimes relatable but not to be taken too seriously.

[–] magikmw@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Do you have any sources handy I could use? Whenever I hear someone say that you can probably hear my eyes rolling from space.

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Usually i play really dumb and ask what it means. Usually that's enough, because they often have no idea, because they just heard it somewhere.

Same deal with woke, CRT, Marxist, or whatever thought terminating cliche is the lunatics' flavour of the month.

They use these terms as a means of avoiding thinking about what they're saying - the meaninglessness is the point... and they're too infected with brain worms to realise.

[–] rockmeat@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's been at least a year since I first encountered CRT

it still reads as some cryptic gender reassignment technique to me

Cathode ray tube. It's a type of monitor that's popular among retro games now, but they're hard to find after most people stopped making them

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nah lol you're on your own. I hipfire based on the vibes of who i'm talking to. People in the real world don't care about backing facts up it's far more important to frame your points in a way that's understood, even if the details are a bit off. Those who do won't listen anyway.

Yeah if hard times made strong people who fixed things Africa would be doing a lot better than it is.

[–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

Africa never stood a chance against the violations from the colonizers. No amount of strong people will help against that, so it doesn't say much. But as someone with a partner who grew up in Africa I can tell you it is rampant with toxic men and women, misogynism, and inequality.
