Generationalism is just like every other -ism. Not that you are being explicitly generationalist, you just give that impression.
- TriinT 17y agoI was born in 1980. Which generation am I officially a part of? I honestly don't know, and I truly don't care... I didn't mean to be a generationalist, but after having taught these kids in grad school, I don't have the highest opinion of them, to be frank. And, indeed, the baby-boomers f*cked up big time... and it sucks that everyone has to pay for the mistakes of a few.
- silentOpen 17y agoThat seems to be how it always goes, though. Each "generation" thinks the previous one is incapable, incompetent, or over-privileged. The young attack the old who they feel don't understand. They rebel. Again and again. I'm just saying that the argument is tired and over-general. "Generations" or semi-birth-year-based orderings (class of '09) have only the slightest commonalities.
