    The annoying thing is when faced with this, white boomers default to racism instead of questioning the system.

    I’ve seen white boomers convinced that if they were “Black immigrants” that the government would be giving them their free housing.

      I personally know someone who was fucked out of a full-pension retirement about a month before he was eligible for it, and he was credulous and bigoted enough to blame The Mexicans™ instead of the suits that decided to fuck him over. grill-broke

        Especially because they think I’m a liberal no matter how much I tell them I’m not.

        To the boomer chud, “liberal” is anyone left of Hitler.
