Years before OK Boomer, I once made an overt anti-boomer comment to my father like 15 years ago, who is himself a boomer. I was being edgy and hoping to get something of a rise out of him, and his reply was totally sincere and very disarming: "Yes, you're right. I am deeply ashamed at what my generation has done to this country." I was not expecting that shit.

My boomer dad had it by his bed i read it and it was pretty based. Not as based as mein kampf tho. I said dad you shouldnt read that pussy shit (the boomer book) and slapped my annotated, highlighted, and sticky noted copy of the european mans bible (Mein Kampf) into his hand.

I remember when I was in college right when the word Millennial was coming into vogue; reading all these blatantly flattering articles about Millennials in The Atlantic and The Economist and places like that. It was probably a roundabout way of bashing Neoconservatives most of the time, like one was basically “we’re sorry with threatening you with having to flip burgers your whole life and then making you flip burgers”.
Another from like, 2011 was a long list of things Millennials apparently had different attitudes about than our parents at our age. One was the difference in value we put on cars and another was how important we thought savings was. That one was funny because it was right before Instagram, the travel meme and Social Media as a profession blew up.

I want to read it, because I’ve become very aware recently of how our interpretation of the constitution has changed in the last 50 years or so and it’s effects on every part of American life. I see this mainly as being a direct result of social upheaval in the 60’s.
It seems very obvious to me, that certain court cases, and certain social causes, like protests against the Vietnam War are portrayed in the media as being unquestionably positive with dissenting opinions rarely being offered. It seems like this is mainly due to the power of that generation as a marketing demographic that all the turmoil of the 60’s must be portrayed as heroic.

Thanks for a constructive reply but I can't immediately relate to any of what you just wrote. Don't know what the festival is (or care much, except for sociological understanding per you). Also not perfectly clear on your burger flipping rhetoric beyond a vague, conventional boomer gloating point, but you seemed to be going somewhere else with it. 1984 here if that helps, but we speak different dialects.

Thank you for validating my confusion with the post. I think he's indicating how millenials are forced to do without cars and recent cultural youth trends, generally. But the car thing is dead wrong: if anything, the car retains its value of autonomy exactly because it is less attainable now.

We are not old enough to have seen firsthand the destruction these ideologies have wrought, we grew up in an economic downturn and were denied the easy comforts our parents had. Capitalism looks like a pretty good culprit for all this. Why wouldn't we pursue an alternative?

10,000 years ago if I came across you in the forest I'd hit you over the head with a stick and drag you to my cave so I could pump you full of my spunk you stupid bitch. If you had any cool shit I'd take it and it would be my cool shit. Capitalism doesn't make people sociopaths, look at how animals behave to each other. Sociopathy is the state of nature, people are just vectors to reproduce a certain genetic code and if sociopathy is the most efficient strategy to accomplish that then it will be selected for.

So... what happens if, between the communists and the fascists, Millennials legitimately do kill capitalism? It's hated by both left-wing and right-wing Millennials.

What if Millennials, as they come into power, legitimately destroy the free market? What happens to the West then?

I’d link the article but it was like eight years ago.
Basically they highlighted the value Millennials put on Luxury Cars, Classic Cars and the cultural value of automobile ownership in America and how it was much lower than 18-25 year olds put on them 30 years ago. They also talked about how Millennials seemed to place more importance on Savings and Long Term Career Prospects.
The whole thing was written in a language that would be pretty flattering to anyone who happened to be in the age group (Millennials) that they were describing.
For a little while Millennials seemed to be media darlings, and a convenient tool for the media to use to highlight the effects of the shortcomings of the majority of the population.
Then, inevitably, certain stereotypes emerged, like the Social Media Influencer, or the English Major with $100k in debt who’s pissed he can’t afford a downtown apartment.

You probably do remember the Fyre Fest thing, just not what it was called; it was a pretty big news story at the time and showed a certain stereotype of Millennials at their worst. The bit about it being the cultural equivalent of American Pie is a joke; but the whole thing was pretty funny and the organizer is in jail now.
