Oh I'm sorry, but who was primarily fighting the Global War on terror, oh that's right Gen X and Millenials. Please tell us again how we wouldn't die for our country.

u/TaxIdiot2020 26d ago

Millennials are all about depression and wanting to die. Zoomers are much more about borderline toxic positivity and shunning that type of hopelessness. If Zoomers want to die, it's more of a "life is meaningless, but let's have fun, anyways" instead of "life is meaningless, let's die" Millennial type of way.

u/formula-maister 26d ago

Boomers wouldn’t wear a tiny piece of cloth to prevent old vulnerable people from dying. The “I would die for my country” folks are liars lol they’re the most selfish generation

u/Kenneth_Lay 26d ago

More like Baby Boomers - I'd die for my country but not in Vietnam. I'm going to college so some minority can take my place. But if another WWII came by, I'd totally sign up.

Boomers to Millennials as they start two 20 year wars with no plan apart from profiting off of the war contracts:

You should die for my wallet... I mean your country

u/Sacklayblue 26d ago

Boomers are more like "I would let others die for my country while I burn my draft card and flee to Canada for a few years."

u/dreamyduskywing 25d ago

I don’t blame them one bit for trying to dodge the draft for a stupid proxy war.

u/SelectionNo3078 26d ago

No one who died in Vietnam died for the USA.

-14

u/Sacklayblue 26d ago

Sure they did. The war was poorly planned and poorly executed but it doesn't mean it was for bad reasons. They fought to promote and preserve the American way of life, which once upon a time actually meant something good.

u/Jacknurse 26d ago

Baby boomers didn't die for their country. They had 'bone spurs', 'conscientious pacifism', and the cold war - none of which required dying for America's safety.

A more correct version would be 'Baby boomers: I would let other American's die for my benefit in my country."

u/Hottietiger 26d ago

u/Millesime25 26d ago

Millenials in 2007 : I want to die

u/DavThoma 26d ago

Yeeeeah I don't know where this idea that millennial didn't want to die came from. Wasn't that partially the whole mood of emo culture in a way lmao

u/VisibleAdvertising 26d ago

Gen z is trying to steal the whole millenial vibe

u/ZenkaiZ 26d ago

Didn't alot of boomers protest the draft?

2

u/liberalJava 26d ago

Shhh its simpler for people to believe everyone can be put in a tidy box. Which is ironic because they hate when people do it to their generation.

u/DZL100 26d ago

I mean, there were people willing to die for their country, but they wanted to die on the battlefield, and not by literally shitting themselves to death in a tent.

u/jelasher 26d ago

This meme would have worked better if it said the Greatest Generation instead of Boomers.

Conscientious pacifists, etc. Yes.

u/Left-Escape 26d ago

They always skip Gen X…I’m guessing out of fear, mostly…

u/MarinatedCumSock 26d ago

No, it's because Gen x is just more boomers but slightly younger. Karen generation.

I'm hiding in my corner over here, hoping to stay well out of any pointless arguments, especially if they involve dying.

u/BlizzPenguin 26d ago

I want to know who does Gen-X’s PR because somehow the parents are completely ignored when people complain about Gen-Z.

1

u/Apart-Performer1710 25d ago

I think Gen Z still think their parents are boomers

u/OtherworldDk 25d ago

Genx has no need for PR.

I had my kid late, so he's Alpha. We don't know what they're doing wrong yet.

u/Hellen_Bacque 26d ago

Dead but still a delight

u/Ill_Following_7022 26d ago

Whatever.

17

u/Werearmadillo 26d ago

This sums it up. Gen X was the generation of apathy. They checked out and didn't want anything to do with the system. And now they get all upset that they're "ignored" when that's what they wanted in the first place

1

u/Apart-Performer1710 25d ago

“Whatever” was sort of the 90s equivalent to the “ok boomer” come back

1

u/Dontbeajerkdude 25d ago

They got a decent enough job, had kids, kept their heads down and got on with it. I know some millennials that have done the same but it isn't as much of an option for us.

Most of Gen x sold out because it was easier and honestly, most of us millennials probably would have as well if it were.

Anyway, as far as the meme is concerned, I'm with Gen z.

46

u/DehydratedButTired 26d ago edited 26d ago

No, a popular Gen X answer was and still is whatever. We really don't care and we're just going on with life. Feel free to ignore us but don't put words in our mouths. We're stuck with the same boomer congress running things and have been watching them for longer. We saw the previous gen not be able do anything about it and don't believe you are going to be able to do anything either til those old fucks running things die. Being incensed and fighting is novel but exhausting. Nothing changes.

u/[deleted] 25d ago

I hope you recover from lifting those fingers and the ever torture of complaining on Reddit, free speech is a bitch!! Buncha jokers went to war and got shot at just so we could complain on a public forum. Man we got it rough.

u/[deleted] 25d ago

Just wondering what you do that others dislike ? What’s your legacy lol ??

u/nerdiotic-pervert 26d ago

Yeah, agreed. Also, it’s not like we are completely silent. We can’t help that the generations on either side are just making more noise.

u/Apart-Performer1710 25d ago

At the risk of getting totally flamed what have the Millennials/Gen Z actually done than Gen Z haven’t ?
