    Ex-fucking-zaxtly. My mom was a lifelong progressive, hippie movement participant, and generally cool as fuck badass mofo, but because of her birth year she got lumped in with the boomer politics jokes. She got it, she knew why they existed and what they were actually lambasting. But it hurt her to see what she thought of as a generation of protest and activism go down as a generation of right wing bullshit. She passed away in April, due to myriad health reasons that pretty all boil down to “near life long poverty” as the root cause.

      Thats the funny thing people loop them all together because the rich. But this was the generation that protested. People are to dumb to realize its the wealth not when they where born. But whatever the rich keep us fighting amongst ourselves cause it works for them and people fall foe it all the time. I keen its been working for 400 plus years.

      I’m really sorry for your loss. Your mom sounds like a cool, badass chick and I’m sorry that she was the victim of this bullshit system.
