This is one fight we can all do without right now, says Emma Beddington

from the sidelines, venting amused disdain for Millennials clinging to signifiers of youth, their infantile attachment to the term “adulting”, Buzzfeed quizzes andGen X – my people – have escaped, somehow: generational war’s Switzerland. Memes portray us as Karen from-era Winona Ryder looking aloof .

I'm classed as a millennial, but I have traits of boomer and also Gen X. Oh and I'll burn the whole fucking place down and call a manager, like a Karen who's just been mildly inconvenienced by a family of 4 who are on their way to a Greta Thunberg rally.

I'm GenX, I just sit on the sidelines and watch the world burn.

No justice. No peace.

It's all about tattoos and piercings. I'm a boomer. I hate both.

What's Gen X going to do for entertainment if that happens?

No.

texpatsabroad Meanwhile Gen X will just be over here working, supporting both generations and carrying on as we always have.

Boomers and millennials vs stupid zoomers.

The generation wars

Don’t suppose the millennials will be complaining when they inherit the mortgage free homes from their boomer parents

I haven't been fighting anybody; where do you MSM get this shit from?

Typical Guardian writing articles about the symptoms and ignoring the causes. Surface level liberal fluff

I prefer generations that leave less of a mess behind than they inherited 🤔. It's been a long time since that happened....a very long time.

Stop blaming the slaves!!! It’s the oligarchs that are the culprits

no ❤️

Nah. I enjoy the banter. Boomers v Doomers 🤫😉🤩

Yes but , you were one of those responsible for agitating this....

Opinion - Economic inequality causes generational conflict.

Says the that takes every possible opportunity no matter the subject of the article to apply arbitrary labels to people, divide them into groups and set them at each other's throats People are people Stop labelling us Stop dividing us

Better headline - Gammon v Woke Bros: Let them bore each other to death while the rest of us get pissed .

Hm. Gen X baby. Gen X all the way

Ageism is the issue here.

Typical millennials in the comments - bitching and whining that it’s someone else’s fault and the world owes them something.

Are you kidding, Gammon? 😂

Stop voting in conservatives and we'll talk

Nah

Gen X just eating popcorn and chuckling

They’re lemons, I shit em’ both. GenX

No. Pay the fuck up first. Pensions halved.

‘Equally, I don’t want to pick a fight with sociologists or anyone...’ wait; what! Me and many other sociologists near constantly have been making the same argument for years. Eg this by me and Kim Allen, 2016

What a load of old bollocks by a 'Karen' - this is typical fodder these days, the bourgeois making out something is going on when it's not in order to give them purpose and relevance.

No thanks.

Sell us your buy-to-lets

You only have to say that to the millennials

Quite right now if could stop encouraging Black v White.. 😡

Nope

OK but only temporarily until Gen X has been defeated.

Never!

We all know GenX are the greatest so not sure what they are arguing over. They both lose 😂

spoken like somebody scared of the progress we're about to make

ok boomer

A bunch of boomers controlling tech 🤡

ok boomer

ok boomer

No

Trump has no problem letting billionaires profit off the pandemic | Robert ReichThe president thinks that as long as they buoy the stock market, they’re helping the US economy – and that’s pure rubbish Liberal Democrat billionaires mind you. The president sitting in the dining room at a golf club signing mostly meaningless executive orders while a bunch of fat guys in shorts clap pretty much sums up the state of the American Government right now.

England's school behaviour tsar: 'Letting children off again and again is like a snooze alarm'I object to being called Tory Tom, says Tom Bennett, whose approach to school discipline is ‘very low tolerance’ Sounds like a fascist. UK still has more covid19 deaths than the entire EU I think he makes some very good points about consistency and ensuring you only have rules you intend to enforce. I try really hard to adopt this approach with my son and he responds well, I think because he knows I only make a point when it really matters.
