oh yeah fuck women, homosexuals and minorities, those were the good old days full of good honest people

Good and bad can coexist in a worldview. Teach your kids that they should love their neighbors but your neighbors are all white and straight (-presenting), etc. They were terrible in aggregate in a lot of ways, but there was solid agreement that Nazis could go fuck themselves. If boomers wish their kids would listen to them more, maybe they should remember their own parents’ stances on fascism.

Nazis could go fuck themselfs unless they needed them to go to the moon

Boomer here, the first moon landing happened before I started high school. The same "greatest generation" that fought the nazis also brought them into the space program. Please get your fucking history straight.

You’re talking about the generation that was literally in charge when American society was desegregated, when women were first allowed to have bank accounts, and when homosexuality was legalized, but go off.

Exactly, it's the abject willful ignorance that angers me. It's not like the facts aren't there, but profiling is easier than thinking.
