Yes I had to lock this because you had an agenda. I will show you my agenda because your agenda was wrong. If anything this is proving we are as bad as the boomers. Unless a boomer is the moderator.

Well, Rule 7 on this sub is "No Politics" so mods would have been well within bounds to lock it once the comments veered to the specifically-political rather than just a generic admonition of "let's not wind up like the Boomers, endlessly circlejerking and tooting our own horn 'til everyone's fuckin' sick of us" (which frankly, many posts on this sub DO lean toward, often); but injecting their **own** politics into the post-locking note (roughly-translated as, "you dumb libs still don't understand, people just HAD to vote for fascism because Woke Or Something I Guess") sure leaves a bad taste, don't it?
No Politics - Political posts of any sort are not generally permitted outside of moderator created threads. If you wish to have political discussions, you can use our other sub r/GenXPolitics.

I think it's fair and desirable to designate certain spaces as politics-free zones, because people of all stripes need spaces to just screw around and shoot the shit and let off steam and come together where we can; it's a valuable way to remember our common humanity, and frankly for my mental health I need spaces like it; I can't be furious ALL the time.
There are bars with posted rules they'll toss you if you start talking about politics or religion, because it frequently leads to bar fights and that's not what they're there for. If the rule is clearly posted here, and there's a second sub (linked in that rule) specifically FOR discussing politics, *that* part doesn't strike me as unreasonable at all.
But that note...that note sucks.

Came here to find a post about this and glad I wasn’t disappointed.
Who the fuck allows these boomers to be mods on a GenX sub? Disregard the politics aspect, this is the most anti GenX comment and this yahoo is moderating our conversations? Now I see why the sub leans so heavily towards aging incels. WTF.
And what’s your point? Yes, obviously just based on this post and to be quite frank a whole lot of comments over the years, a lot of you GenX people have become what we loathed. That doesn’t mean all of us changed, just the losers. They don’t represent me anymore than anyone orange in office represents America.

The rule is no politics. If one wants to cry or gloat there is the entirety of the rest of Reddit. Gen X, in my experience had never been about being a bunch of crying pussies. We abide, we exist, we plod on. One side deals with the other every 4-8 years in general. They dealt with it, now you deal with it. The universe won't even notice.
I'm out of this subreddit.
If you can't acknowledge prison camps, 150 billion for an internal army and the evil being done right now to families (with no regard to due process) then this is a forum I want no part of.
Fuck off mods.
Indeed.
He could have said "Locked because we don'y allow politics here", but instead he saw the opportunity to own the libs, because the rules don't fucking apply to him I guess.
Oh well. Born in 1980, I felt too young for most of the content here anyway. Off to Xennials we go.
My comment was about how our generation is without power. That the prior generation has power and the subsequent generation will have power soon. Somehow that was seen as political.
Good to know the mod team condones exactly the kind of milquetoast faux-enlightened moderate bullshit that allowed the political window to shift rightward for the last 40 years despite the continuous evidence that these policies are shit for the working and middle class.
Moderates, and apparently moderators too, are a big part of the problem. Fuck off, whichever one of you mods put such atrocious shit on a lock announcement. Bet you cried harder about Biden.
I knew it. Of course a boomer is moderating the Gen X sub. He has probably been claiming for the past 15 years that a Gen X-er can run the sub after he retires.
Lol, the older portion of Gen-X are already as bad as the Boomers, and many others aren’t far behind. Nice of the moderator to provide an object lesson.
Oh no, a mod is all upset that they refused to stand against the fascism of the gop, are now getting called out over it, and instead of acknowledging their mistake, continues to blame everyone else.
Absolutely pathetic.
