    It’s broader than that - it also forbids comparisons of the Israeli government to Nazis. You may say that that’s just an issue of tone that doesn’t prevent serious discussion, and you aren’t wrong - but I have no interest in getting tone policed on a fucking genocide either, regardless of German law.

    On one hand, I get .org’s admins’ reasoning, and don’t disagree with the core of it - no one wants a fucking police visit to their house over a hobby project.

    On the other hand, it’s a strong reason for me to not use Feddit.org (separate from Feddit.uk) comms at all, regardless of the comm’s individual position on the ongoing Palestinian genocide.












  • It’s a systemic issue, and economic issue that’s certainly influenced by people, but if you gave the current generation the same economic advantages the boomers had, their scale would would be either the same or similar at the same ages.

    … that’s what a generational issue means.

    Generations aren’t the same as eras, though. Generations exist within eras, but eras don’t travel with the generation in this context.

    Clearly they do. The era is over, but the advantages persist in the generation.


  • It implies that baby boomers had some factors amplifying their chances, and it implies that later generations may have disadvantages as well as lacking those advantages, but that’s still not a generational issue based on the chart itself.

    If the Baby Boomers had factors amplifying their chances, as a generation, and later generations did not, how is that not a generational issue?

    If anything, it’s a condemnation of capitalism, not generational disparities

    Why not both
