@kyle@mister.computer I see. I wonder if this is actually American-GenX? I honestly didn’t think this was edgy or hypocritical? If you’d asked me to generationalise it, i’d have picked late-stage millennial given the office reference being distinctly millennial, vs any other generation?

@grork@mastodon.social I am implicitly always talking about “American .” Templated image macros are no longer the domain of Millennials at all: that was entirely co-opted by Boomers and Gen X. This meme definitely has the Gen X structure, “oh you care about this, well what about this worse thing you don’t care about?” The Nazi analogy is so hamfisted that it was only included to be maximally edgy. The only thing missing is the word “fuck.”
