    The annoying thing is when faced with this, white boomers default to racism instead of questioning the system.

    I’ve seen white boomers convinced that if they were “Black immigrants” that the government would be giving them their free housing.

      I personally know someone who was fucked out of a full-pension retirement about a month before he was eligible for it, and he was credulous and bigoted enough to blame The Mexicans™ instead of the suits that decided to fuck him over. grill-broke

    I had a roommate that dated a self proclaimed Reaganite that after a few months of being an aggressive alcoholic stopped showing up to his job of 20~ years, he was then very surprised when there was no welfare for him to collect.

      Astonished anyone actually believes that shit. It’s so patently ridiculous that I would figure they only pretend to believe it to justify their depravity.
