Am I one of them now? Because this at least made me smile a bit.
The thing is that the US concept of far left and far far left are totally laughable. They are centric in the rest of the world. Even sanders is more centric than left.

Not everything I post in this thread has to be depressing or stupid. This isn't the cringe thread, so it's okay to not cringe sometimes.
Participation trophy jokes and memes will always trigger me. As kids we weren't the ones deciding to give trophies to everyone. It was our parents who made it happen. They are the ones who thought they were God's gift to the world and as a result their offspring deserved unearned rewards.
Aside from a couple that made me chuckle, the rest really pisses me off.
The other day i had to witness an uncle saying stuff along these lines at dinner, i did lash out because fuck this shit man, boomer generation had it so much easier than ours back in the day, fucked over us on every possible aspect (economy, housing, job, culture, environment and so on) and still criticizes over things they have no idea on how they work and blame us on how things turned out? Damn.

I don't get this variant of it. Must be some millennial thingy.
shadman is an infamous internet artist who is known to draw child porn
This "enlightened Europeans tell Americans how they're not actually left" stuff is almost as bad as boomer comics.
It's also complete nonsense. Bernie Sanders would be considered solidly left-wing pretty much anywhere in the world. He's further left than a lot of European politicians. Most of the Democratic candidates running for president are further left than any of the centrist or right wing parties in Canada or Europe. If Andrew Scheer is elected in Canada this year, Boris Johnson wins re-election, and Elizabeth Warren is elected next year, America would have an executive branch significantly more to the left than Canada or the UK.
But yes, it is silly how right wing comics like to brand popular, mainstream left-wing policy as "far left."
He would be Center Left at best here. His concepts are already established for decades.
So please tell me what concept of him, beside maybe UBI) is so left that it would be solidly left in Europe?
The US media isn't even capable of separating social democracy and democratic socialism.

I googled this and found some hilarious articles from 2016:
The irony is that boomers demand you go to college, yet at the same time demonize it for making you educated and liberal. Hmmmmmm
I don't like how the donkey's heads are backwards and clearly coming from the wrong direction.

So... millenials are ahead in the phone industry just like the Soviets were in the space race?
It's gotta suck when you're living in fucking Ben Garrison's shadow. And don't even get me start Jon McNaughton, the king of Gen-X political artwork:Oh hey, Boomers now have a third joke they all like to repeat now.

I think someone forgot the point of all that sacrifice was so that the future can have peace and prosperity. It's a good thing.

I wonder how many of these artists are themselves benefiting without a fight from those who died to, as depicted,
1. Create our union independent from monarchy.
2. Preserve our union.
3. Defeat fascism.
So that the artist could create this art on the altar of prosperity. Because those men did not fight so their grandchildren may die in the mud themselves.
"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain."
Know who said that?
Some fucking jerk.
23:59: We want a bright future to our children
00:00: Why they aren't suffering like me?
There is a pretty big mentality that if I suffered or faced difficulty everyone should have to face it as well. You see it situations like student loan forgiveness where people who paid their loans off don't want to do anything about the problem because they had to pay them off.
The closest thing I remember is in elementary school the top 8 in track & field got ribbons. First, second, and third, with the other five getting the equivalent of participation ribbons. It was basically the same thing since there wasn't much more eight people for each event further subdivided by gender and grade/age.
Pretty meta to tag this with your social media handles.
The worst thing about this one is that it features a fucking Confederate soldier.

Sounds like a defense for physical video games.
Edit: I kid because it sounds like something I'd say. Lol.

You clearly aren't a U.S. millennial then. Every team always got a trophy or ribbon regardless of how poorly they did. The winners got bigger trophies, but everyone got something.
50 years ago kids had that darn transistor radio they couldn't put down.

Yeah I'm confused. Is the kid supposed to be shooting a gun or something?

It all makes sense now.
You know, I'd be real curious to see if The Greatest Generation published drivel like these complaining about the Boomers back in the day?
So this drawing is based on a famous picture of Buzz Aldrin that was taken by Neil Armstrong after the two of them were on the moon's surface. You can see Neil there reflected in Buzz's visor.
Now, judging by the word balloon's tail, Buzz is speaking here, so what? Did Buzz decide to repeat Neil's words back to him after they both got out of the lunar module?
"That's one small step for man..."
"Yeah, I know, Buzz. That's—uh, that's what I said..."
The other funny thing is that college is probably the first real point in your education where you are actually encouraged to think for yourself and are regularly challenged by a relatively diverse community, yet boomers are the ones terrified to generally go there because they *don't* want to be challenged.

Fighting the Nazis is how we ended up with Boomers.
What you meant to say was they were too busy sending their kids to Vietnam, being paranoid about Commies and Socialism, and chipping away at The New Deal.
Yeah, I think they're just salty because all the leg work they put in during ages 0-17 indoctrinating them into their preferred religion/political ideology goes out the window. Sucks for them learning and gaining understanding of the world leads to critical thinking skills and empathy.
