I think the one thing that defines the left wing of #GenerationX #GenX more than any thing else is deep #skepticism of #sincerity. Not that we don't believe that sincerity exists, but it has been shown to us so many times that displays of sincerity are hiding lies.

We're the children of #BabyBoomers who demand we worship the #SummerOfLove and their #antiwar and their #EarthDay, #CivilRights, and #Feminism, yet everything the #MeGeneration did in subsequent years put the lie to all of that.

That's probably why the word "whatever" is so iconically associated with #GenX; it's because we're not impressed by words and gestures and displaysโ€”we're impressed by *results*, by *actions*, by *consequences*. Talk is cheap, we want to see you walk the walk.
