In the 90’s a lot of popular song were pretty political, remember Killing in the name of and even the skate pop-punk has pretty popular political song’s (Offspring, Blink Green-day). Actually political movies were also quite big in the 90’s/00’s (French Masterpiece La haine, or the whole work of Michael Moore).
I would expect to see that the people who were teens/young adult at the time would tackle all these issues 20-30 years latter when they’ll finally take the power and the reality is that everything got worse, than even talking about-it make you sound like a radical, and that the gen-X/Millennials totally failed to change something.
What happened ? and how did we fail ?
A quote tossed at me by a MAGA friend before Trump won in 2106. I stopped talking to them for a year or so because I didn’t want to say something that would actually end our friendship.
It’s such a fucking stupid, insulting quote.
Why’s that?
Because being a liberal (not the leftist definition of liberal) doesn’t mean you have no brain.
I’m assuming by your question that you’re implying it’s true, which funny enough gives some credence to the first part of the quote. Unless of course you’re a leftist, at that point we’re just quibbling over terminology.
Waauw, I’m not even allowed to ask a question. Very intolerant thought policing crowd here!
I live in a country with more than 2 political parties and ideologies. So the US false dichotomy luckily doesn’t apply.
But I do get now why people think your side of the split is insufferable holy canoly!
No one said you’re not allowed to ask questions…
As for the “leftist” part, this is Lemmy, and spending enough time here you learn that liberal has a very different meaning to some people so I was just covering my bases.
