Me neither. 😳👇

We did not, the boomers kissing ass are the silver spoon mothers, not the ones that were drafted or inlisted for our country.. I served and I protested in the 60es and I'm now protesting again.fuck ice,trump,miller vance ,bondi,cash fuck them all...0311.

Same. I have several friends that are hard-core republicans but yet they love all of the protest music. I don’t get it.

I’m Gen-X, and I saw a tweet today from some guy chastising Tom Morello about politics in his music, and someone else replied, “Which machine do you think he was raging against? The dishwasher??” We really need to educate the young ones. My Hippie Boomer folks would have.

my stepfather played this frequently…his favorite band he was there…he knew one of the victims…Kent state is his alma mater he’s furious about where we are now

I think you’re making a gross generalization. Few older people agree with this authoritarian regime. We know what repression looks like. We heard the stories from people who suffered from all sorts of damaged pasts. Please stop thinking it’s a generational mindset. It’s not

Wrong. Some of us “boomers” aren’t that. We were and still are HIPPIES that never gave up on the fight. To those who did become the bootlickers… they are dead to me.

I’m from the Buffalo Springfield era . The song “ For What it’s Worth “ . It starts when you’re always afraid …..Don’t let trumps thugs get away with our freedoms .

The majority of ICE terrorist grew up listening to Rage Against the Machine...so yeah, what the fvck, man?

What's men under 30s excuse?

It’s actually pretty understandable. They rebelled until the status quo mutually benefited them. Ever since, Boomers and the government have been fighting to maintain equilibrium while everyone else screams that this isn’t working.

Not all of us thank goodness.

I remember it well, and it’s really resonating today, along with “For What it’s Worth”

Its pretty simple when money and privilege come into it

Gen Jones here. This resonates more now then ever. Not a bootlicker.

The town I’m from all the Grateful Dead heads still wear the tie dyes on weekends driving their BMW’s. It’s wild Juxtaposition

Not all of us, we still hear the words 😢

Sorry, the majority of bootlickers that I see on this site are young white men.

As part of the older generation I would agree with you. I was Senior in High School when Kent State happened and was at a very conservative engineering school that even protested Cambodia and Nixon/Watergate Saturday Night massacre of justice department 1 of 2

We aren't bootlickers you little shit. We fought for your right to be the little asshole you are! Fuck You!

Not all of us.

Fortunately we all didn’t.

@feathersong Some of us, this is our anthem.

We listened to great music but not everybody heard the words. A percent of us were looking for a better world but our generation messed up big time on everything

I really love that song when I was younger now I can’t remember the name. Would somebody please tell me the name thank you.

I do not necessarily agree with the term "bootlickers." However, I do believe that there is a large divide between what they grew up espousing and what a large block of them now practice as a generation.

As a member of that group, I will tell you why, they were just there for the sex drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. They had no political integrity whatsoever. I had to witness horrified the election of Ronald Reagan. That’s when I knew. They were all posers.

I dunno… there are A LOT of boomers in the streets. It’s more Gen X that supports Trump overall compared to Boomers. Gen X grew up idolizing Raegan and didn’t grow up fearing the draft or remembering Kent state etc. Their upbringing was calm compared to all other Gen’s IMO

My brothers are a bit older than me. This was their era. Can confirm they are boot lickers.

We did not- we are the most represented age group at nearly every organized protest...

Because that’s how the system is designed Create enough youthful exuberance to believe you can ‘change the system’ then place enough road blocks to ensure you stop trying - especially when ALL media is controlled

Dont lump us boomers all together. We still march,we still shout. Kent State didn't leave everyone's brain

I’m a boomer and I always took my assignment seriously - I would never have become what my peers have.

Not all of them

The average age of individuals charged in connection with the Jan 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol attack is consistently reported as around 40–41 years old. They didn't grow up listening to Neils 'Ohio' (1977), they were 15 in 1995 and listening to bubble gum pop.

@ThatLibBitch Not all of us...
