  • A little bit, yeah. Trump supporters are also very desperate people, many of them turned to the dark side due to grievances with the world. And not all of them are always imagined. The wrong part is the conclusions these people come to and the way they go about correcting what they think is wrong…

    Conspiracy theories are rife with these people. UFO ones where aliens poke you in the butt and interview you about the planet and wipe your memory are very common in these groups.

    Meanwhile as a progressive the aliens I fantasise about are like… enlightened and compassionate lol.










  • I’m responding to the premise of the thread. I agree it doesn’t make sense to characterise people based on age brackets, however I am noting a pattern I’ve observed in reality, not speculating a fictional scenario. It’s also true my view is anecdotal, backed up by memes and other anecdotes and not by science or extensive research.

    However I’d like to point out that we are in a group called “memes” and the thread is about “used to consume not produce”, the OP’s meme image is specifically talking about the pattern where younger people don’t understand fundamentals of tech and just consume it. As an IT professional of nearly 20 years I have observed the same phenomenon and so I wrote a funny reply based on that.

    You’re right IT probably won’t entirely evaporate that’s crazy. As crazy as picking apart a funny comment to wag your finger at a well meaning stranger.

    It’s gonna be really funny when all us millenials die and the tech infrastructure evaporates.

    What age do we think they’ll be set back to? Pre industrial? Bronze?

    My prediction seems extreme but don’t forget that while books continue to exist, the average adult born after 2000 would rather die than read one.
