Good work on reducing the Boomer score. I dunno what I answered except the hard work and as @Flick says environmental questions that made it rank me as a Boomer.
Oh! Wild, most of the Boomers I knew were raving about climate change in the 1980s, but they were pretty liberal. I tended to listen to Silents and Greatest Gen people more. Boomers always seemed... half-done to me.
@amerika@AutumnAh, we have the culture lag here; our boomers were just “chop the trees down”, not hippies. It was this one especially that made me think they’d pegged you as zoomer, because half earth won’t be on their radar:
The Boomers I knew were weirdly like Californians... very pro-environment but if it was time to build that 4ksqft house in the country they always wanted, THOSE trees could die!
@amerika@Autumn@Flick"Pro environment" meaning not near their fucking McMansion subdivision built on top of prime farmland or a forest. But it's all good if China wants to dump mercury into the ocean so long as TVs are $5 cheaper at Walmart.
@Flick@amerika remember the acid rain hysteria? At least scrubbers were installed & some rivers were cleaned up. Real results. The very word "sustainability" makes me nauseated
@Flick@amerika never had that in Germany. In fact I never ever heard any fear of Russia. It was hard b/c folks had family trapped in East Germany though They had to holiday behind the Iron Curtain to see them
The previous generation still had the practice drills in school. By the time ICBMs came around, the general idea was just to expose yourself and die early to avoid suffering.
