27. I am afraid that inter-generational warfare is going to go insanely OTT very soon in the US
Wed Mar 18, 2020, 09:29 PM
Mar 2020

as the virus continues to spread and really starts to kill, especially the older cohorts. The Boomers and above are going to start to massively lash out at Gen X, the Xennials (Carter babies, ie. 1977-80 born) and especially the Millennials, the Zennials/Zillennials (my micro gen, 1992-98 born) and Gen Z'ers as their 'killers' and also as threats that need 'to be dealt with'.

Those attacked gens in turn will return the fire and the shit will truly start to hit the fan. I have already started to see this happen to a certain extent in a number of different arenas. The shit-stirring MSM is already starting to play that angle.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
