Much like Bernie vs Hillary PYSOP? If so, what is the benefit to disrupt the two groups,?

(30,813 posts)Categorizing people so you can point to how they are different from you is divisive. It can be harmless - or it can lead to atrocities. It would not surprise me if Russia throws everything at us they can think of, and see what gets us in a lather.

I post, Watson AI alters to add southerners, or NYC dialect and a become the leader of a virtual clan. How much does it take to tip your neurochemical balance to make you join my tribe? Is it thousand, I bet I could look like a millions, would you follow a million? Sacred, yes you should be....

The American generations covered in the theory are:
The Greatest Generation (born circa 1901 to 1924)
Silent Generation (circa 1925 to 1945)
Baby Boomers (circa 1946 to 1964)
Generation X (circa 1965 to 1985)
The Millennial Generation (circa 1985 to 2000).

Anything that divides us is suspect. I wouldn't call a 40 something a boomer. I am just sayin

(25,586 posts)the diet of economic bullshit and self-righteous abuse theyre being served?
Its just a snide meme. It wont hurt the Boomers; theyll still own and control everything and suck up a lions share of resources for at least a couple more decades regardless of a funny intarwebz slogan.
