3 months agoI wasn’t allowed to watch “violent” movies as a kid, so I missed a lot of action classics like RoboCop, Rambo, etc. But there were a few exceptions we had on tape so they got watched a lot. Long Kiss Goodnight, T2, Alien,… I rewatched this one again a couple of years ago and was shocked at how violent it actually is. It finally clicked that my single Mum was making an exception for iconic kick-arse women.
I’m on the cusp of X and millennial, so I’ve been around plenty of both.
Some X’s have done well for themselves, but those without a bit of luck and assistance have mostly had to give up on big dreams of housing security and family.
Millennials have had it tougher, but many of them still got there, with a bit more luck and assistance.
It’s been a long decline, with the concentration of capital making it harder for most of us every year. The generational divide is just another distraction from class warfare.
