I enjoyed the rant here as well as some of the attached comments.

You'll notice that a lot of Gen Xer's latched onto bullshit schools of thought over the years, like becoming "South Park Republicans" years
ago, or Ron Paul retard libertarians or 911 twoofers today. You've got
former underground Gen X types like Jim Goad and Peter Bagge shilling
for the likes of Reason magazine. Seems Gen Xers just keep looking for ways to
fool themselves into thinking that really regressive ideas or sucking it up and taking it are somehow statements of individuality when in fact they are utterly conventional, and do nothing to challenge anything. But god forbid they get called hippies.
