Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Nah. You can't just dismiss the Panthers, Young Lords, the anti-war movement, and so many movements and peoples struggles just based on some bullshit socially constructed, national concept of "generation".
Generational warfare is total bullshit. There are a shit ton of working class boomers and boomer comrades who held it down before you were a thought, I was literally just on the phone with one I know myself. If you don't know any, then you probably haven't organized as much as you should. These current generations coming up are no different in having an overwhelming number of reactionaries and fascists. We shouldn't forget those who struggled before us and much less abandon comrades who are now elderly because of generational culture war.
